Abstract

The process development used to deposit the α alumina layer on the thermally grown oxide (TGO) using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in a coldwall reactor at 1100 °C was investigated. As shown by x ray diffraction (XRD), the resulting films were found to be dense, with good electrical isolation properties. The stator specimens showing poor film uniformity and problems with adherence is attributed to high growth and gas flow dynamics, not source depletion.
