Abstract

Using a performant spontaneous Raman equipment, with intracavity laser excitation, the temperatures of tungsten hexafluoride and hydrogen have been measured in a cell reproducing the industrial conditions of C.V.D. tungsten deposition, in the vicinity of a heated graphite substrate. For tungsten hexafluoride, a vibrational temperature, much lower than that of the substrate, is determined. For hydrogen, rotational temperatures much higher than that of the substrate are found. After a discussion of the sources of experimental errors, possible interpretations of the results are given.
