This entry has bothered me for some time now. The correct nomenclature for this method of crystal growth is Organometallic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (OMVPE). There is a clear difference between organometallic and metalorganic compounds (or at least there used to be). If you consult a definition (including the one here on wikipedia) organometallic compounds have a bond between the carbon atom in an organic molecule and a metal atom. For example tri-methyl gallium. These are the typical precursors for this method of crystal growth. Thus, it should be organometallic following this well established field in chemistry. I believe the true meaning of the word metalorganic refers to compounds where an oxygen atom separates the organic group and the metal atom. Regardless, the correct nomenclature is organometallic. I would love to see this entry changed back to an OMVPE entry, but the incorrect nomenclature proliferated by non-chemists in the semiconductor field is pretty ubiquitous. Fixing this entry might help.

4 + 4 cannot equal 9 just because of "common usage." That is a horrible argument - wrong is wrong. The correct nomenclature is indeed Organometallic vapor phase epitaxy.
Is it really 2 - 100 kPa? 100 kPa ís one atmosphere's pressure, that's normal air pressure! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kri ( talk • contribs) 11:52, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
A dominant process in the production of solar cells? Not even. Si cells use lots of ion implantation and diffusion, but MOCVD? Thin films use mostly closed space sublimation, as MOCVD is too slow (~1 nm/sec compared to 1 micron/sec) Source??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.183.160.172 ( talk) 18:57, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
Dear colleagues, this is a stub indeed, not a word said about Hydrogen, mass transporation, Arhenius graphs of Mass Tsp vs 1/Temperature, the process of depositing, the chemical processes therein, nucleation, gas phase interaction, gas phase - base interaction, modes of growth, surface diffusion. Not a word is said about hydride metaloids vs metal-organic decomposition, the minimum/maximum temperatures, the temperature range, Mass flow controllers and pressure controllers, plus nomenclature nonsense-its as if the author did not understand the difference between epitaxy and chemical vapour deposition.

Perhaps we should consider rewording everything to MOCVD, including the title. Doing a search on scholarly articles shows that it's the most common term by a very large margin compared to MOVPE (about 4x more frequent). 128.12.226.59 ( talk) 07:23, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
MOCVD is the preferred nomenclature to a lot of older American practitioners in homage to Hal Manasevit, who holds THE patent for this process (well, his employer does or did). Hal always used the term MOCVD whenever taking or writing about this process. OMVPE was pushed in the early days by Stringfellow who most practitioners consider a weenie although he's actually a great guy once you get past the ego. In all honesty, it's splitting hairs and over the years MOCVD seemed to be used mainly by US practitioners. This article appears to have been greatly reduced in size and scope since I last visited a few years ago. Time to check out the revision history![USer: Crystalgrower 11/20/2014] Crystalgrower ( talk) 21:29, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

At the beginning of the article it is indicated that the process does not take place in a vaccum but at moderate pressures. Please, remember that any pressure below atmospheric pressure is by definition a vaccum (not a perfect one, for sure, but still a vaccum according to vaccum science and engineering). It would probably be more precise to say that this process takes place between atmospheric pressure and low vaccum. Cheers -- 155.4.187.238 ( talk) 20:32, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
In the section "organometallic precursors", the hydrides of non-metal (e.g. NH3, AsH3) are indicated and are effectively used in MOCVD (including MOVPE) but are definitely not organometallic. Also I would be careful to classify as OM the organopnictogenes of non-metallic elements (N, P, As, Sb) or in a similar fashion for metalloids (e.g. B, Sb) but they are perhaps used as misnomers.
