Abstract

The process for chemical vapor deposition of layers of material on a substrate which extend generally in a plane is disclosed. The process for depositing thin film materials on the substrate is made more economical by virtue of a better energy balance than previously disclosed. The substrate is heated by radiation from the heat of a duct but also by the gases passing over the substrate which themselves are heated by the duct. The heating of the gases further improves the coupling between the heating means and the substrate.
