Abstract
A process for conducting vapor phase deposition is disclosed. The process separates a series of reactions through a sequence of reaction reservoirs. The reactor includes a reactive precursor reservoir beneath a powder reservoir separated by valve means. A reactive precursor is charged into the reactive precursor reservoir and a powder is charged into the powder reservoir. The pressures are adjusted so that the pressure in the reactive precursor reservoir is higher than that of the powder reservoir. The valve means is opened, and the vapor phase reactant fluidized the powder and coats its surface. The powder falls into the reactive precursor reservoir. The apparatus permits vapor phase deposition processes to be performed semi-continuously.
