摘要: Described are apparatus and methods for processing a semiconductor wafer in which the gap between the wafer surface and the gas distribution assembly remains uniform and of known thickness. The wafer is positioned within a susceptor assembly and the assembly is lifted toward the gas distribution assembly using actuators. The wafer can be lifted toward the gas distribution assembly by creating a fluid bearing below and/or above the wafer.

摘要: Provided are gas distribution plates (showerheads) for use in an apparatus configured to form a film during, for example, an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. The gas distribution plate comprises a body defining a thickness and a peripheral edge and has a front surface for facing the substrate. The front surface has a central region with a plurality of openings configured to distribute process gases over the substrate and a focus ring with a sloped region. The focus ring is concentric to the central region such that the thickness at the focus ring is greater than the thickness at the central region.

摘要: Methods of determining an amount of precursor in an ampoule have been provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for determining an amount of solid precursor in an ampoule may include determining a first pressure in an ampoule having a first volume partially filled with a solid precursor; flowing an amount of a first gas into the ampoule to establish a second pressure in the ampoule; determining a remaining portion of the first volume based on a relationship between the first pressure, the second pressure, and the amount of the first gas flowed into the ampoule; and determining the amount of solid precursor in the ampoule based on the first volume and the remaining portion of the first volume.

摘要: A method and apparatus for thermally processing a substrate is provided. A substrate is disposed within a processing chamber configured for thermal processing by directing electromagnetic energy toward a surface of the substrate. An energy blocker is provided to block at least a portion of the energy directed toward the substrate. The blocker prevents damage to the substrate from thermal stresses as the incident energy approaches an edge of the substrate.
