| Prerequisite | Type | Confidence | Evidence level | Note | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Advanced Chemistry (advanced_chemistry) | enabling | 80% | review | CVD depends on controlled gas-phase chemistry, precursor reactions, kinetics, and transport through vapor phases. |
|
| Vacuum Technology (Early) (vacuum_technology_early) | historical_predecessor | 72% | review | Earlier vapor-deposition and gas-handling practices are historical foundations; CVD itself is defined by chemical reactions rather than vacuum alone. |
