The TNL-Injector simulator features a horizontal MOCVD reactor that models gas-phase and surface reactions, due to thermal conditions within the reactor. Key dimensionless parameters, such as Reynolds number (Re), Prandtl number, Peclet number (Pe), and Grashof number (Gr), influence the chemical reaction dynamics.
Influence of precursors and carrier gases inlet flow rate, operating pressure, temperature, and reactor geometry (Aixtron, Veeco and Taiyo Nippon), effectively predicting the growth of binary, ternary, and quaternary materials with multi-component diffusion and precursor decomposition.
A database of precursor and carrier gases, including their chemical reaction rates, is available. Gas-phase reactions drive species decomposition and radical interactions, while surface reactions facilitate film growth through gas-phase species adsorption and surface-bound molecular fragment reactions.
