    摘要: A method of processing semiconductor wafers includes placing a semiconductor wafer in a recess of a susceptor within a heated chamber. The recess is defined in the susceptor by a downwardly depending sidewall. The method also includes determining a distance of a peripheral edge of the wafer from the sidewall. The method also includes supplying a first process gas into the heated chamber at a first gas flow rate and a second process gas into the heated chamber at a second gas flow rate, and supplying heat to the heated chamber. The method also includes modulating the first gas flow rate, the second gas flow rate, and/or the heat supplied to the heated chamber to control a deposition rate of the first and second process gases near the peripheral edge of the wafer based on the determined distance of the peripheral edge of the wafer from the sidewall.
