    Abstract: A rotating disk reactor for chemical vapor deposition includes a vacuum chamber and a ferrofluid feedthrough comprising an upper and a lower ferrofluid seal that passes a motor shaft into the vacuum chamber. A motor is coupled to the motor shaft and is positioned in an atmospheric region between the upper and the lower ferrofluid seal. A turntable is positioned in the vacuum chamber and is coupled to the motor shall so that the motor rotates the turntable at a desired rotation rate. A dielectric support is coupled to the turntable so that the turntable rotates the dielectric support when driven by the shaft. A substrate carrier is positioned on the dielectric support in the vacuum chamber for chemical vapor deposition processing. A heater is positioned proximate to the substrate carrier that controls the temperature of the substrate carrier to a desired temperature for chemical vapor deposition.

    Abstract: A chemical vapor deposition reactor and a method of wafer processing are provided. The reactor can include a reaction chamber having an interior and an entry port for insertion and removal of substrates, a gas inlet manifold communicating with the interior of the chamber for admitting process gasses to form a deposit on substrates held within the interior, a shutter mounted to the chamber, and one or more cleaning elements mounted within the chamber. The shutter can be movable between (i) a run position in which the cleaning elements are remote from the exhaust channel and (ii) a cleaning position in which the one or more cleaning elements engage with the shutter so that the cleaning elements remove deposited particles from the shutter upon movement of the shutter to the cleaning position.

    Abstract: A chemical vapor deposition reactor and method. Reactive gases, such as gases including a Group III metal source and a Group V metal source, are introduced into the chamber (10) of a rotating-disc reactor and directed downwardly onto a wafer carrier (32) and substrates (40) which are maintained at an elevated substrate temperature, typically above about 400° C. and normally about 700-1100° C. to deposit a compound such as a III-V semiconductor. The gases are introduced into the reactor at an inlet temperature desirably above about 75° C. and most preferably about 100°-350° C. The walls of the reactor may be at a temperature close to the inlet temperature. Use of an elevated inlet temperature allows the use of a lower rate of rotation of the wafer carrier, a higher operating pressure, lower flow rate, or some combination of these.

    Abstract: A method of in-situ temperature measurement for a wafer treatment reactor such as a chemical vapor deposition reactor desirably includes the steps of heating the reactor until the reactor reaches a wafer treatment temperature and rotating a wafer support element within the reactor about a rotational axis. The method desirably further includes, while the wafer support element is rotating about the rotational axis, obtaining first operating temperature measurements using a first operating pyrometer that receives radiation from a first portion of the wafer support element, and obtaining first wafer temperature measurements using a wafer temperature measurement device that receives radiation from at least one wafer, the wafer temperature measurement device located at a first position.
