Uniformity Control in Planetary Chemical Vapor Deposition Reactor Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
A simplified model of the spatially dependent deposition profile in chemical vapor deposition reactors with planetary wafer rotation is developed. The model focuses on reactors operated in “depletion” mode, a situation where the precursor species have undergone a sequence of gas-phase decomposition reactions leaving only the deposition species to diffuse to and react on the substrate surface, generating the thin film. The model is used to identify the reactor design and operating parameters that influence the shape of the deposition profile. By projecting the deposition profile onto the rotating wafers, the thickness uniformity as a function of reactor system operating parameters also is examined.

The growth rate and uniformity of Carbon Nano Tubes (CNTs) based on Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technique is investigated by using a numerical model. In this reactor, inlet gas mixture, including xylene as carbon source and mixture of argon and hydrogen as carrier gas enters into a horizontal CVD reactor at atmospheric pressure. Based on the gas phase and surface reactions, released carbon...

متن کاملDevelopment of a spatially controllable chemical vapor deposition reactor with combinatorial processing capabilities
Most conventional chemical vapor deposition sCVDd systems do not have the spatial actuation and sensing capabilities necessary to control deposition uniformity or to intentionally induce nonuniform deposition patterns for single-wafer combinatorial CVD experiments. In an effort to address these limitations, a novel CVD reactor system has been developed that can explicitly control the spatial pr...
