PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To uniformize an in-plane distribution of each of gas mixture rates when a silicon containing gas and a carbon atom containing gas are respectively supplied by independent gas supplying nozzles.SOLUTION: An odd number of first gas supplying nozzles 60 that supply a silicon atom containing gas and second gas supplying nozzles 70 that supply a carbon atom containing gas and a reduced gas are disposed alternately. A direction of a first gas supply port 68 is determined so that an intersection point (B) of gas jetting directions thereof is located farther than an intersection point (A) of gas jetting directions of second gas supply ports 72.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an arrangement in connection with an ALD reactor comprising a reaction chamber, the arrangement comprising fittings for feeding a reaction gas to the reaction chamber and for suctioning the reaction gas back, and fittings for feeding a barrier gas. The fittings for feeding and suctioning back the reaction gas and for feeding the barrier gas comprise a middle element having multiple parallel channels which extend through the element, and a first and a second flow-reversing element arranged at ends of the middle element into which the channels open, the flow-reversing elements being arranged to combine the channels in the middle element so as to provide an interchannel flow.
Abstract:
A chemical vapor deposition reactor and a method of wafer processing are provided. The reactor includes a reaction chamber having an interior, a gas inlet manifold communicating with the interior of the chamber, an exhaust system including an exhaust manifold having a passage and one or more ports, and one or more cleaning elements mounted within the chamber. The gas inlet manifold can admit process gasses to form a deposit on substrates held within the interior. The passage can communicate with the interior of the chamber through the one or more ports. The one or more cleaning elements are movable between (i) a run position in which the cleaning elements are remote from the one or more ports and (ii) a cleaning position in which the one or more cleaning elements are engaged in the one or more ports.
