Catalysts

Gelest offers a variety of materials that act as catalysts for various synthetic organic transformations. Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction due to the participation of an additional substance called a catalyst. With a catalyst, reactions occur faster and require less activation energy. Catalysts are…

Dielectric Materials

Dielectric materials are commonly referred to as electrical insulators. As very large scale integrated (VLSI) microelectronics technology has developed in this millennium, the need for specialized materials with (i) low-K dielectric constants, as well as (ii) high-K dielectric constants, within such circuits has become critical. Under the influence of small…

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) & Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD)

The growth of thin films via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is an industrially significant process with a wide array of applications, notably in microelectronic device fabrication. CVD is carried out by passing a volatilized precursor (such as a silane, organometallic, or metal coordination complex) over a heated substrate. Thermal decomposition…
