    摘要: A vertical semiconductor wafer carrier comprises a circular base, a first wafer support rod mounted at a first position proximate a perimeter of the circular base, a second wafer support rod mounted at a second position proximate the perimeter of the circular base, wherein an angle θ12 formed between the first position and the second position relative to a center of the circular base is around 20°, a third wafer support rod mounted at a third position proximate the perimeter of the circular base, and a fourth wafer support rod mounted at a fourth position proximate the perimeter of the circular base, wherein an angle θ34 formed between the third position and the fourth position relative to the center of the circular base is around 20°, and wherein an angle θ14 formed between the first and fourth positions relative to the center of the circular base is around 180°.

    摘要: An annealing method and apparatus for semiconductor manufacturing is described. The method and apparatus allows an anneal that can span a thermal budget and be tailored to a specific process and its corresponding activation energy. In some cases, the annealing method spans a timeframe from about 1 millisecond to about 1 second. An example for this annealing method includes a sub-second anneal method where a reduction in the formation of nickel pipes is achieved during salicide processing. In some cases, the method and apparatus combine the rapid heating rate of a sub-second anneal with a thermally conductive substrate to provide quick cooling for a silicon wafer. Thus, the thermal budget of the sub-second anneal methods may span the range from conventional RTP anneals to flash annealing processes (including duration of the anneal, as well as peak temperature). Other embodiments are described.
