Technology for application of in-situ monitoring to large throughput batch CVD coating process - Ceramics.The goal of this programme is to improve CVD process The goal of this programme is to improve CVD process control by a multipurpose, knowledge based feedback system for monitoring the CVD process with in situ spectroscopic data as input information. The basis of the programme is the development of in situ monitoring tools, intelligent sensors, and advanced process control concepts which can be used in a wide range of industrial CVD processes. In this programme, two commonly used, and distinctly different, types of industrial CVD processes are taken as test cases, being representative of important market segments, architectural glass for energy control and protective coatings for ceramic materials. These different types of CVD technology comprise 1) large area, continuous atmospheric pressure CVD 2) high capacity low pressure batch process CVD, respectively. Two prototype process control systems will be developed consisting of i. a selected multi detection monitoring system, ii. an optical interface. iii. the example (market segment) CVD reactor, iv. software for real-time monitoring and data base assembly, v. a closed loop process control system. To achieve this, a through going task is the development of novel, cheap, robust, non contact multi detection sensors for on line monitoring in hostile environments and of advanced procedures for signal processing. Success in this innovative approach will further strengthen, and widen, exploitation potential of this technology, by extending application range and reducing system cost. Objectives of the consortium are for significant improvements in process yield (25%), operating costs (>10%), raw material (20%) and product quality. Another objective is to reduce environmental impact by up to a 40% reduction of waste materials and to improve safety aspects significantly. A further objective is to reduce new product development times by up to 30%.
