    摘要: Disclosed is a graphite disc solving a problem of poor performance uniformity of the epitaxial wafer, which is obtained during material epitaxial growth by using the graphite disc. The graphite disc includes a graphite disc body, where the graphite disc body includes a groove and a plurality of projections on a bottom wall of the groove, and the plurality of projections divide the groove into a plurality of independent regions. According to the graphite disc provided by the present disclosure, a plurality of regions are defined in the groove by using the projections, each region corresponds to one substrate, and different regions are interconnected. Compared with the graphite disc structure with one groove corresponding to one substrate in the related art, a space for gas flow is enlarged, therefore a problem that an edge of the epitaxial wafer is too thick caused by gas flow is alleviated.

    摘要: A holding device for holding a plurality of substrates for plasma-enhanced deposition of a layer from the gas phase on the substrates, having: inner carrier plates, arranged parallel to one another and designed to carry substrates on mutually opposite sides; outer carrier plates, arranged parallel to the inner carrier plates and having an inner side facing the inner carrier plates, and an outer side facing away from the inner carrier plates, wherein each outer carrier plate is designed to carry one or more substrates on its inner side and to be free of substrates on its outer side; and shielding plates which are each arranged at a distance from the outer side of the outer carrier plate such that, as seen in a plan view of the outer carrier plates, the shielding plates at least predominantly shield the outer carrier plates, wherein each shielding plate is free of substrates.

    摘要: Methods for processing semiconductor wafers, methods for loading semiconductor wafers into wafer carriers, and semiconductor wafer carriers. The methods and wafer carriers can be used for increasing the rigidity of wafers, e.g., large and thin wafers, by intentionally bowing the wafers to an extent that does not break the wafers. In some examples, a method for processing semiconductor wafers includes loading each semiconductor wafer into a respective semiconductor wafer slot of a semiconductor wafer carrier, horizontally bowing each semiconductor wafer, and moving the semiconductor wafer carrier into a processing station and processing the semiconductor wafers at the processing station while the semiconductor wafers are loaded into the semiconductor wafer carrier and horizontally bowed.

    摘要: A rotor that may be used by itself or in a processing machine for processing semiconductor wafers includes two pairs of combs. A lock down mechanism has a lock bar, temporarily engaged and moved by a loading/unloading robot, drives a retainer against the edges of the wafers, to better hold them in place during processing. Contamination via generation of particles is reduced. Combs on the rotor have a resilient strip. The lower edges of the wafers compress slightly into or deflect the resilient strip, when urged into place by the lock down mechanism.
