Although Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) technology enables the production of high-quality thin film epitaxy, its industrial application continues to encounter persistent challenges related to inadequate deposition uniformity and efficiency. In this research, we employed a novel vertical reaction chamber ZnO-MOCVD device to systematically investigate the synergistic mechanisms governing multiple parameters—including MO source, O source, Ar carrier gas flow rate, and observation window flow rate—through multi-physics coupled numerical simulations and orthogonal experimental design. The results demonstrate that precisely adjusting the O source flow velocity effectively mitigates vortex phenomena within the turntable, thereby stabilizing the laminar flow state. Increasing the inlet flow rate suppresses the thermal buoyancy effect and reduces the risk of gas-phase pre-reaction. The synergistic regulation of MO and O flow velocities significantly enhances the uniformity of diethyl zinc (DEZn) and oxygen (O<sub>2</sub>) distribution. Orthogonal analysis successfully identified the optimal combination of process parameters, resulting in an exceptional deposition rate (0.2049 μm/h) and a coefficient of variation (4 %), thereby fully validating the effectiveness of the multi-parameter collaborative optimization strategy.
