    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a showerhead having a reflector plate with a gas injection insert for radially distributing gas. In one embodiment, a showerhead assembly includes a reflector plate and a gas injection insert. The reflector plate includes at least one gas injection port. The gas injection insert is disposed in the reflector plate, and includes a plurality of apertures. The gas injection insert also includes a baffle plate disposed in the gas injection insert, wherein the baffle plate also includes a plurality of apertures. A first plenum is formed between a first portion of the baffle plate and the reflector plate, and a second plenum is formed between a second portion of the baffle plate and the reflector plate. The plurality of apertures of the gas injection insert and the plurality of apertures of the baffle plate are not axially aligned.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a substrate carrier system. The substrate carrier system includes a carrier for transferring a substrate within a multi-chamber processing system. The carrier may be placed in a load lock chamber for receiving the substrate, and the substrate is transferred to a processing chamber on the carrier. In the processing chamber, the carrier, with substrate, is disposed on a susceptor. The carrier can also enhance thermal control of the edge of the substrate in the processing chamber. The substrate carrier system further includes positioning features for repeatable positioning of the substrate in the processing chamber and repeatable positioning of the carrier in the load lock chamber and the processing chamber.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a susceptor for thermal processing of semiconductor substrates. In one embodiment, the susceptor includes a first rim, an inner region coupled to and surrounded by the first rim, and one or more annular protrusions formed on the inner region. The one or more annular protrusions may be formed on the inner region at a location corresponding to the location where a valley is formed on the substrate, and the one or more annular protrusions help reduce or eliminate the formation of the valley.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide an improved apparatus and methods for nitridation of stacks of materials. In one embodiment, a method for processing a substrate in a processing region of a process chamber is provided. The method includes generating and flowing plasma species from a remote plasma source to a delivery member having a longitudinal passageway, flowing plasma species from the longitudinal passageway to an inlet port formed in a sidewall of the process chamber, wherein the plasma species are flowed at an angle into the inlet port to promote collision of ions or reaction of ions with electrons or charged particles in the plasma species such that ions are substantially eliminated from the plasma species before entering the processing region of the process chamber, and selectively incorporating atomic radicals from the plasma species in silicon or polysilicon regions of the substrate.
