This is NOT chemical vapour deposition (CVD), its Physical Vapour deposition (PVD), or better known as thermal evaporation. In CVD you have a chemical reaction taking place in presence of heat or plasma which causes a film to be deposited i.e. Silicon and carbon forming Silicon carbide. In PVD (also covers sputtering etc...) or thermal evaporation you take a material and heat it up in a vacuum causing it to evaporate and condense on the substrate as a thin film.
Why did he say it is a chemical vapour deposition? I was pretty confused myself. Because I know this as a PVD process.
