摘要： Methods, systems, and assemblies suitable for gas-phase processes are disclosed. An exemplary assembly includes a susceptor ring and at least one injector tube. The injector tube can be disposed within the susceptor ring to provide a gas to a peripheral region of a substrate. Methods, systems, and assemblies can be used to obtain desired (e.g. composition and/or thickness) profiles of material on a substrate surface.

摘要： A chamber arrangement includes a chamber body, a substrate support, and a laser source. The substrate support is arranged within the chamber body and supported for rotation about a rotation axis relative to the chamber body. The laser source is arranged outside of the chamber body and optically coupled to the substrate support along a lasing axis. The lasing axis intersects the substrate support at a location radially outward from an outer periphery of a substrate seated on the substrate support. A semiconductor processing system and a material layer deposition method are also described.

摘要： Methods, systems, and assemblies suitable for gas-phase processes are disclosed. An exemplary assembly includes a susceptor ring and at least one injector tube. The injector tube can be disposed within the susceptor ring to provide a gas to a lower chamber area of a reactor. Methods, systems, and assemblies can be used to obtain desired etching and purging of the lower chamber area.

摘要： A method of operating a reactor system to provide multi-zone substrate temperature control. The method includes, with a first pyrometer, sensing a temperature of a first zone of a substrate supported in the reactor system, and, with a second pyrometer, sensing a temperature of a second zone of the substrate. The method further includes, with a controller, comparing the temperatures of the first and second zones to setpoint temperatures for the first and second zones and, in response, generating control signals to control heating of the substrate. The method also includes controlling, based on the control signals, operations of a heater assembly operating to heat the substrate.

摘要： A substrate support and lift assembly configured to support and lift a substrate from a susceptor is disclosed. The substrate support and lift assembly can include a susceptor support and a lift pin. The susceptor support can be configured to support the susceptor thereon. The susceptor support includes a plurality of support arms each extending radially from a central portion of the susceptor support to a terminus. Each of the plurality of support arms includes an aperture extending therethrough. The lift pin can be configured to fit through the aperture of a corresponding support arm to lift a substrate on the susceptor.

摘要： A shaft member includes a cylindrical body formed from a ceramic material and having a drive segment, a frustoconical segment, and an end key segment. The drive segment extends about a rotation axis, the frustoconical segment is offset from the drive segment along the rotation axis, and the end key segment extends axially from the frustoconical segment and is axially separated from the drive segment by the frustoconical segment of the shaft member. The end key segment has a first circumferential facet and a second circumferential facet circumferentially opposite the first circumferential facet to fix the shaft member in rotation about the rotation axis relative to a support member seated when the end key segment is slidably received within an end key socket defined within the support member. Process kits, semiconductor processing systems, and methods of making semiconductor processing systems are also described.
