    摘要: The present invention is a single wafer reactor having a vented lower liner for heating exhaust gas. The apparatus of the present invention includes a reaction chamber. A wafer support member which divides the chamber into an upper and lower portion is positioned within the chamber. A gas outlet for exhausting gas from the chamber has a vent to exhaust gas from the lower portion of the chamber and an exhaust passage opening to exhaust gas from the upper portion of the chamber. Heated inert purge gas is fed from the lower chamber portion through the vent at a rate so as to prevent the deposition gas from condensing in the exhaust passage.

    摘要: A method and an apparatus is provided for removing wafer processing by-products from gas fluid exhaust systems utilizing an energy source placed within an exhaust channel either alone or in combination with a cleaning gas. The placement of the energy source in an exhaust channel enables emitted energy to react with wafer processing by-products to convert the by-product residues to more removable forms. Additionally provided is a cleaning gas source internal to the exhaust channel to further react with and convert exiting by-product residues to gaseous fluids.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for measuring a reference sample in order to collect a reference characteristic, without moving the reference sample, is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method of the present invention comprises the following steps. An operator places a cassette of unprocessed wafers into a processing chamber of a processing tool that also includes a holding chamber. While the wafers are being processed, the holding chamber, which is coupled to a measurement tool, measures the reference sample that is mounted on a stage in the holding chamber. The resulting reference characteristic value (e.g., spectrum to determine film thickness) is then stored in the measurement tool's computer system. After a film is grown/formed on the wafers, the processed wafers are moved one by one into the holding chamber to be measured. A first wafer is placed on the stage in the holding chamber and a characteristic value for the first processed wafer is obtained using the measurement tool. The computer system of the measurement tool uses an algorithm to compare the reference characteristic value to the first wafer characteristic value to obtain a first differential value. The first differential value is then used to help determine the characteristic (e.g., film thickness) of the film formed on the first processed wafer. In another embodiment, a similar process is followed to measure another characteristic of a wafer, such as resistivity. These examples are illustrative and not limiting. Thus, the present invention can be used whenever a reference sample is to be measured to help determine a selected characteristic of a substrate or wafer.
