C23C 16/30

Deposition of compounds, mixtures or solid solutions, e.g. borides, carbides, nitrides

Introduced: January 1985

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Chemical coating by decomposition of gaseous compounds, without leaving reaction products of surface material in the coating, i.e. chemical vapour deposition [CVD] processes > characterised by the deposition of inorganic material, other than metallic material > Deposition of compounds, mixtures or solid solutions, e.g. borides, carbides, nitrides

CPC:

Chemical coating by decomposition of gaseous compounds, without leaving reaction products of surface material in the coating, i.e. chemical vapour deposition [CVD] processes (reactive sputtering or vacuum evaporation C23C14/00) > characterised by the deposition of inorganic material, other than metallic material > Deposition of compounds, mixtures or solid solutions, e.g. borides, carbides, nitrides

Of 9 combined children, 6 exist in both systems.

3 codes are CPC-only extensions.

1 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.

IPC defines codes here since 1985.
