    摘要: A system and method is disclosed for increasing the emissivity of solid materials, wherein first the surface of the material is mechanically worked to create micro-level defects, and then etched to create a deep micro-rough surface morphology. In this manner, higher efficiencies and lower energy consumption can be obtained when these modified materials are used for heating elements. Heating elements made in accordance with this process thus operate at lower temperatures with longer lifetimes, when the improved heating elements are used with various heating devices.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for providing substantially uniform substrate temperature in a chemical vapor deposition reaction chamber is provided. The method and apparatus utilize a carrier for holding at least one substrate in the reaction chamber and a plurality of heating elements arranged to heat the carrier and the at least one substrate. At least one substrate pyrometer measures the temperature of the substrates to provide a signal representing the process temperature. This signal is used in a feedback loop to control one or more of the heating elements. At least two carrier pyrometers focused at different zones of the carrier are provided. The signals from the carrier pyrometers are compared to one another to provide an indication of temperature non-uniformity. This indication is used in a separate feedback loop to adjust other heating elements so as to maintain temperature uniformity across the carrier.

    摘要: Apparatus and method for determining a real time, non-contact temperature measurement of semiconductor wafers is provided in a computer-based data gathering system. The apparatus includes a moving carrier containing semiconductor wafers and a pyrometer and a reflectometer positioned above the spinning wafer carrier for providing temperature and reflectivity data samples taken from the semiconductor wafers and spinning carrier. The data are then provided to an attached computer. The attached computer receives the reflectivity and temperature data pairs, stores them in a data table and records the frequency of occurrence of each of the reflectivity values in the series of reflectivity and temperature data. Software operating on the computer has instructions for identifying at least one reflectivity data peak representative of the reflectivity characteristics of the semiconductor wafers and instructions for determining the temperature of the semiconductor wafers based upon the frequency of occurrence of the reflectivity data and the associated reflectivity-temperature data.

    摘要: An apparatus for depositing a coating on a substrate substantially eliminates the occurrence of oval defects by creating a heated tortuous path through which the source material vapors must travel before depositing on the substrate. In addition, shut-off valves for each of the source materials are positioned in the reaction chamber in close proximity to the substrate, thereby enabling layers of different compositions to be deposited with sharp transitions between adjacent layers. The apparatus may be used to efficiently coat large areas uniformly, and works equally well with either elemental or chemical source materials, or certain combinations of both. The features of the coating apparatus may be embodied in replacement source cells for retrofitting in conventional molecular beam and chemical beam epitaxy units.
