    摘要: A vapor deposition device includes a reactor including a reaction chamber and an injector for injecting vapor into the reaction chamber. The device also includes a manifold for delivering vapor to the injector. The manifold includes a manifold body having an internal bore, a first distribution channel disposed within the body in a plane intersecting the longitudinal axis of the bore, and a plurality of supply channels disposed within the body and in flow communication with the first distribution channel and with the bore. Each of the first supply channels is disposed at an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bore, and each of the supply channels connects with the bore at a different angular position about the longitudinal axis. The distribution channel (and thus, the supply channels) can be connected with a common reactant source. Related deposition methods are also described.

    摘要: A reactor having a housing that encloses a gas delivery system operatively connected to a reaction chamber and an exhaust assembly. The gas delivery system includes a plurality of gas lines for providing at least one process gas to the reaction chamber. The gas delivery system further includes a mixer for receiving the at least one process gas. The mixer is operatively connected to a diffuser that is configured to diffuse process gases. The diffuser is attached directly to an upper surface of the reaction chamber, thereby forming a diffuser volume therebetween. The diffuser includes at least one distribution surface that is configured to provide a flow restriction to the process gases as they pass through the diffuser volume before being introduced into the reaction chamber. The reaction chamber defines a reaction space in which a semiconductor substrate is disposed for processing. The exhaust assembly is operatively connected to the reaction chamber for withdrawing unreacted process gases and effluent from the reaction space.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an ALD apparatus, and particularly relates to an ALD apparatus that is suitable for rapidly depositing a thin film on a substrate having an actual area that is larger than a planar substrate. In the reaction chamber of the ALD apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, more gas is supplied to a portion where more gas is required by having differences in the space for gas to flow rather than supplying the gas in a constant flux and a constant flow velocity such that the time required for supplying reactant gases and waste of reactant gases may be minimized to increase productivity of the ALD apparatus. The ceiling of the reaction space is shaped to provide a nonuniform gap over the substrate.

    摘要: A semiconductor processing reactor comprises a reaction chamber with a gas exhaust and a mechanical seal at one end of the chamber. The seal seals off the chamber from the ambient environment and is purged with gas to prevent diffusion of ambient gases into the reaction chamber. Because the purge gas can diffuse through the seal into the reaction chamber, the purge gas is chosen based upon the process gas and the location of the seal and exhaust so that the molecular weight of the purge gas causes the purge gas, by the force of gravity or buoyancy, to remain in the portion of the reaction chamber containing the seal and the gas exhaust. Advantageously, keeping the purge gas at the same end of the chamber as the gas exhaust minimizes dilution of the process gas with the purge gas, thereby preventing the purge gas from detrimentally effecting process results.
