    摘要: Apparatus for CVD processing wherein a wafer mounted on a vertically movable susceptor beneath a showerhead. The susceptor extends beyond the outer perimeter of the wafer such that, when the susceptor is raised into contact with a shield ring which normally rests on a ring support in the chamber, the shield ring engages outer portion of the susceptor beyond the perimeter of the wafer, lifting the shield ring off its support. The shield ring shields the edge of the top surface of the susceptor during the deposition, whereby unwanted deposition on the susceptor is prevented while, at the same time, allowing for deposition over the entire upper surface of the wafer. To center the shield ring and the susceptor with respect to each other, the shield ring may include a plurality of centering protrusions, at least some of which engage the susceptor as it moves upwards to lift the shield ring off its supports in the chamber.

    摘要: A susceptor support arm assembly in a substrate processing chamber includes a secure ground connection between the susceptor and ground. An aluminum wire rope is welded to a winged terminal lug which is tightly inserted into a hole in a susceptor hub. The wings of the lug are then welded to the hub. The wire rope, now permanently attached to the susceptor hub, is routed through an opening in the susceptor end of a ceramic susceptor support arm, able to pass the ground end lug of the wire rope, through a channel in the support arm back to the susceptor arm support device, and to ground. The channel in the susceptor arm has grooves in its sides to receive a paddle shaped ceramic cover to enclose the channel and the bottom of the hub end of the susceptor arm. The cover insulates, isolates, and shields the grounding wire and thermocouple leads being routed from the susceptor hub back to the support end of the susceptor arm from exposure to the high intensity radiant energy directed at the back of the susceptor. Conical spring washers and shoulder screws, attach the metallic pieces (e.g. the susceptor hub) to the ceramic susceptor hub arm allowing for the differential thermal expansion between pieces without overstressing the ceramic material clamped. Surface treatment of the metallic pieces enhances their corrosion resistance.

    摘要: A heater liner assembly suitable for covering the interior of a plasma processing chamber is provided. In some embodiments, a liner assembly for a processing chamber can include a heating element embedded in a body. A flange extending outward from an outer diameter of the body includes an upper surface having a sealing surface and at least one pad that extends from the upper surface of the flange to an elevation beyond the sealing surface. The pad contributes to control of the temperature of the liner assembly by maintaining the liner assembly spaced apart from the processing chamber.

    摘要: A substrate lifting apparatus for use in a substrate processing apparatus which includes a thermal reactor having a substrate processing chamber and a substrate support located in the chamber. The lifting apparatus consists of a generally circular shaped support with four seats formed therein; four substrate lifting elements, each having a substrate engaging end and a securing tab sized to be received in a seat; a fastener, associated with each lifting element, which secures the tab into the seat; and an adjuster, associated with each lifting element, located between the tab and the seat. When the tab is secured in the seat and the adjuster is operated, the lifting element is caused to move in a plane parallel to a plane formed through the center of the fastener and the adjuster.

    摘要: A chemical vapor deposition wafer boat for supporting a plurality of wafers in an evenly spaced, upright orientation perpendicular to the axis of the boat comprises a cylinder having closed ends and comprised of mutually engaging upper and lower hemicylinders. The upper hemicylinder has diffusion zones with gas flow passageways therein in the ends and zones within from 0 to 75 and within from 0 to 15 degrees from a vertical plane through the cylinder axis. The remainder of the hemicylinder wall and the ends are baffle areas without gas flow passageways. The ends and sidewall of the lower hemicylinder comprise gas diffusion zones. The gas flow passageways comprise from 0.5 to 80 percent of the surface area of the respective gas diffusion zones.
