    摘要: In a chemical vapor deposition chamber, an improved technique for providing deposition materials to the growth surface is described. The gas carrying deposition materials is constrained to have axial symmetry thereby providing a uniform deposition of materials on the substrate. The gas can be initially directed toward the substrate with a generally uniform perpendicular velocity. The gas can be introduced into the deposition chamber through a multiplicity of apertures and is extracted from the vicinity of the substrate in a manner to preserve the axial symmetry. The apparatus permits convenient control of the deposition process by varying the distance between apparatus introducing the gas carrying the deposition materials and the substrate. The flow of gas minimizes the problems arising from autodoping of the growth layer of material. The flow of gas and generally small size of the deposition chamber minimize particulate contamination of the growing film.

    摘要: In an epitaxial deposition reactor with an axially symmetric gas flow carrying the deposition materials, apparatus and method for heating the substrate and associated susceptor uniformly is described. The apparatus includes at least one chamber having a plurality of heat lamps passing therethrough, the chamber being generally disposed symmetrically with respect to an axis of the substrate. The walls of the chamber are appropriately coated to reflect the light from the heat lamps and the outermost lamps can be energized to produce a higher temperature than the centrally located lamps to compensate for regions of the reactor that provide access to the substrate and therefore promote thermal losses. The spacing of the lamps can be varied also to compensate for thermal non-uniformity of the heating cavity. In a first embodiment, a lower chamber can be a chamber similar to the first chamber with the exception that the lamps are rotated 90.degree.. In a second embodiment, the lower chamber consists only of reflecting surfaces with no sources of heat generated therein. However, in this embodiment a portion of the lower chamber has a reflectivity different from the reflectivity of the remainder portion of the chamber. The substrate can be rotated to provide a further averaging of possible thermal structure. In a third embodiment, parabolic reflectors are associated with each lamp to provide greater uniformity in the radiation impinging on the substrate-susceptor combination. Chambers having heating lamps with both parabolic reflectors and with planar reflecting surfaces are also described.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for heating a substrate and associated rotatable susceptor in an epitaxial deposition reactor with an axially symmetric gas flow carrying deposition material include at least one chamber having a plurality of heat lamps. The chamber is generally symmetric with respect to an axis of the substrate. The chamber walls are coated to reflect light from the heat lamps. The outermost heat lamps can be energized to produce a higher temperature than the centrally located lamps to compensate for regions of the reactor which provide access to the substrate and, therefore, promote thermal losses. The spacing of the heat lamps may be varied to compensate for thermal non-uniformity of the heating cavity. The substrate may be rotated, on the rotatable susceptor, to average the thermal environment to which the substrate is exposed.

    摘要: An RF electric field probe device for measuring an RF electric field intensity in a plasma. The device is composed essentially of an electric field sensing unit and an output unit. The electric field sensing unit is composed of a first electro-optical component positionable in the plasma and operable to modulate light as a function of variations of the RF electric field in the plasma at the fundamental frequency and harmonics of the RF electric field, and a first antenna unit electrically coupled to the first component for coupling the first component to the RF electric field. The output unit is coupled to the electric field sensing unit for providing an output signal containing information relating to the magnitude and frequency of the modulation which occurs in the first component. The probe device may be used to map a plasma region by moving the probe device to any selected point in the plasma region.
