A semiconductor furnace suitable for chemical vapor deposition processing of wafers. The furnace includes a thermal reaction chamber having a top, a bottom, a sidewall, and an internal cavity for removably holding a batch of vertically stacked wafers. A heating system is provided that includes a plurality of rotatable heaters arranged and operative to heat the chamber. In one embodiment, spacing between the sidewall heaters is adjustable. The heating system controls temperature variations within the chamber and promotes uniform film deposit thickness on the wafers.

A method comprises pre-cooling a first semiconductor wafer outside of a process chamber, from a temperature at or above 15° C. to a temperature below 5° C. The pre-cooled first wafer is placed inside the process chamber after performing the pre-cooling step. A low-temperature ion implantation is performed on the first wafer after placing the first wafer.

A method includes providing an LED element including a substrate and a gallium nitride (GaN) layer disposed on the substrate. The GaN layer is treated. The treatment includes performing an ion implantation process on the GaN layer. The ion implantation process may provide a roughened surface region of the GaN layer. In an embodiment, the ion implantation process is performed at a temperature of less than approximately 25 degrees Celsius. In a further embodiment, the substrate is at a temperature less than approximately zero degrees Celsius during the ion implantation process.

A method of forming a through-silicon-via (TSV) opening includes forming a TSV opening through a substrate. A recast of a material of the substrate on sidewalls of the TSV opening is removed with a first chemical. The sidewalls of the TSV opening are cleaned with a second chemical by substantially removing a residue of the first chemical.
