Patent ID: 8318269

Claim:
A method for forming a material, comprising: placing a first substrate in a reactor, the first substrate having an exposed first surface; placing a second substrate in the reactor, the second substrate having an exposed second surface facing toward the first surface; insulating otherwise exposed surfaces of the first substrate, other than the first surface, to at least restrict radiation from the first substrate except at the first surface; insulating otherwise exposed surfaces of the second substrate, other than the second surface, to at least restrict radiation from the second substrate except at the second surface; directing a precursor gas into the reactor; activating an induction coil proximate to the first and second surfaces to dissociate the precursor gas; depositing a constituent of the precursor gas on both the first and second surfaces; receiving heat radiated from (a) at least one of the first surface and the constituent deposited on the first surface at (b) at least one of the second surface and the constituent deposited on the second surface; and receiving heat radiated from (a) at least one of the second surface and the constituent deposited on the second surface at (b) at least one of the first surface and the constituent deposited on the first surface.
