    Abstract: Embodiments of substrate heating methods and apparatus are provided herein. In one embodiment, a substrate heater is provided including a heater plate having a top surface and an opposing bottom surface, a recess formed in the top surface, the recess having a feature having an upper surface for supporting a substrate, wherein the depth from a bottom surface of the recess to the upper surface of the feature is at least 5 mils. One or more pads may be disposed in the recess for supporting a substrate. The heater plate may have a thickness of about 19 mm. One or more indentations may be formed in the bottom surface of the recess for altering the rate of heat transfer to a portion of a substrate disposed above the indentation during processing. The heater plate may be utilized in a process chamber for performing heat-assisted processes.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention generally provide a method for depositing films using a UV source during a photoexcitation process. The films are deposited on a substrate and contain a material, such as silicon (e.g., epitaxy, crystalline, microcrystalline, polysilicon, or amorphous), silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or other silicon-containing materials. The photoexcitation process may expose the substrate and/or gases to an energy beam or flux prior to, during, or subsequent the deposition process. Therefore, the photoexcitation process may be used to pre-treat or post-treat the substrate or material, to deposit the silicon-containing material, and to enhance chamber cleaning processes. Attributes of the method that are enhanced by the UV photoexcitation process include removing native oxides prior to deposition, removing volatiles from deposited films, increasing surface energy of the deposited films, increasing the excitation energy of precursors, reducing deposition time, and reducing deposition temperature.
