A paradox arises with the observation of large dust particles in a low-pressure plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition reactor. Neutral drag forces in an axisymmetric flowing afterglow reactor permit micrometer sized dust grains to form by trapping them for long times in regions with high concentrations of film precursors. A summary of the relevant mechanical and electrostatic forces on dust grains shows that collisions with neutral gas reconcile the growth rate, residence times, and relatively large diameters of the observed dust particles.
