Abstract
In a device and a method for generating vapor in a CVD or PVD device, particles are vaporized by bringing the particles into contact with a first heat transfer surface of a vaporization device. The vapor generated by vaporizing the particles is transported by a carrier gas out of the vaporization device and into a single or multistage modulation device. In a vapor transfer phase, second heat transfer surfaces of the modulation device are adjusted to a first modulation temperature, at which the vapor passes through the modulation device without condensing on the second heat transfer surfaces. At an intermission phase, the second heat transfer surfaces are adjusted to a second modulation temperature, at which at least some of the vapor condenses on the second heat transfer surfaces.
