Abstract: A structure for a chemical vapor deposition reactor desirably includes a reaction chamber having an interior, a spindle mounted in the reaction chamber, and a wafer carrier releasably mounted onto the spindle for rotation therewith. The spindle desirably has a shaft extending along a vertical rotational axis and a key projecting outwardly from the shaft. The wafer carrier preferably has a body defining oppositely-facing top and bottom surfaces and at least one wafer-holding feature configured so that a wafer can be held therein with a surface of the wafer exposed at the top surface of the body. The wafer carrier desirably further has a recess extending into the body from the bottom surface of the body and a keyway projecting outwardly from a periphery of the recess along a first transverse axis. The shaft preferably is engaged in the recess and the key preferably is engaged into the keyway.

Abstract: Wafer carrier arranged to hold a plurality wafers and to inject a fill gas into gaps between the wafers and the wafer carrier for enhanced heat transfer and to promote uniform temperature of the wafers. The apparatus is arranged to vary the composition, flow rate, or both of the fill gas so as to counteract undesired patterns of temperature non-uniformity of the wafers. In various embodiments, the wafer carrier utilizes at least one plenum structure contained within the wafer carrier to source a plurality of weep holes for passing a fill gas into the wafer retention pockets of the wafer carrier. The plenum(s) promote the uniformity of the flow, thus providing efficient heat transfer and enhanced uniformity of wafer temperatures.

Abstract: A chemical vapor deposition reactor and a method of wafer processing are provided. The reactor can include a reaction chamber having an interior and an entry port for insertion and removal of substrates, a gas inlet manifold communicating with the interior of the chamber for admitting process gasses to form a deposit on substrates held within the interior, a shutter mounted to the chamber, and one or more cleaning elements mounted within the chamber. The shutter can be movable between (i) a run position in which the cleaning elements are remote from the exhaust channel and (ii) a cleaning position in which the one or more cleaning elements engage with the shutter so that the cleaning elements remove deposited particles from the shutter upon movement of the shutter to the cleaning position.

Abstract: A flow inlet element for a chemical vapor deposition reactor is formed from a plurality of elongated tubular elements extending side-by-side with one another in a plane transverse to the upstream to downstream direction of the reactor. The tubular elements have inlets for ejecting gas in the downstream direction. A wafer carrier rotates around an upstream to downstream axis. The gas distribution elements may provide a pattern of gas distribution which is asymmetrical with respect to a medial plane extending through the axis.
