Definition

Thin-film deposition technique that uses metalorganic vapor-phase precursors to form a solid thin film on substrate surfaces. The metalorganic precursor provides a volatile source of inorganic elements to a growth surface which are then thermally disassociated from their organic components on the substrate surface.
