摘要: The present disclosure relates to a susceptor having a generally circular body having a face with a radially inward section and a radially outward section which includes a substrate supporting surface elevated relative to the radially inward section. A sidewall surrounds the substrate supporting surface which upon retention of a substrate on the radially outward section, the sidewall surrounds the substrate. The sidewall includes a plurality of humps which protrude from the top surface of the sidewall. Advantageously, the plurality of humps may aid in even thickness of deposition of material at the edge of the substrate.

摘要: Provided is a susceptor which makes it possible to increase the circumferential flatness uniformity of an epitaxial layer of an epitaxial silicon wafer.
A susceptor 100 is provided with a concave counterbore portion on which a silicon wafer W is placed, and the radial distance L between the center of the susceptor and an opening edge of the counterbore portion varies at 90° periods in the circumferential direction. Meanwhile, when the angle at which the radial distance L is minimum is 0°, the radial distance L is a minimum value L1 at 90°, 180°, and 270°; and the radial distance L is a maximum value L2 at 45°, 135°, 225°, and 315°. Accordingly, the pocket width Lp also varies in conformance with the variations of the radial distance L. The opening edge 110C describes four elliptical arcs being convex radially outward when the susceptor 100 is viewed from above.-

摘要: The group III compound substrate manufacturing method of the present invention is a method for manufacturing a group III compound substrate by growing a group III compound crystal (1) by vapor phase epitaxy on a seed crystal (3) placed and fixed on a susceptor (2), the method comprising using a cleavable and separable material for at least one of the susceptor (2) and the seed crystal (3). A group III compound substrate manufactured by the group III compound substrate manufacturing method of the present invention is also provided. The present invention can provide the group III compound substrate manufacturing method which can manufacture a large-sized GaN crystal substrate of higher quality at a low cost while taking advantage of the high film forming rate of the vapor phase epitaxy method, and can provide a substrate manufactured by the method.

摘要: A susceptor device for a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor including metal organic CVD (MOCVD) used in the semiconductor industry. The susceptor device particularly is used with induction heating and includes a horizontal plate adapted for holding one or more wafers and a vertical rod around which the induction heating coils are disposed. A screw system and an insulator can further be used. This design helps prevent undesired levitation and allows for the gas injectors of the reactors to be placed closer to the wafer for deposition during high-temperature deposition processes at susceptor surface temperatures of about 1500° C. or higher.

摘要: A substrate reactor with centering pin for epitaxial deposition includes a vacuum chamber and a tube configured to rotate in the vacuum chamber around a tube geometrical center axis. A substrate carrier forming a pocket dimensioned for holding a substrate on a top surface includes an aperture that is centrally located on a bottom surface. The substrate carrier is positioned on and in contact with a top surface of the tube. A centering pin is positioned along a geometrical center axis of rotation of the substrate carrier. The centering pin has a first end positioned in the aperture on the bottom surface of the substrate carrier and a second end fixed inside the reactor so that the substrate carrier rotates around the geometrical center axis of the substrate carrier independent of the geometrical center axis of the tube.
