EPITAXIAL DEPOSITION APPARATUS, GAS INJECTORS, AND CHEMICAL VAPOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ASSOCIATED THEREWITH

摘要

An epitaxial deposition apparatus comprises a deposition chamber with at least one gas injector having a gas injection surface and a substrate support having a deposition surface; and at least one vacuum pump having a gas aperture in fluid communication with the deposition chamber and facing the gas injection surface of the at least one gas injector, the substrate support being inter-posed between the at least one gas injector and the gas aperture of the at least one vacuum pump. The invention also relates to an epitaxial deposition gas injector and a nozzle for an epitaxial deposition gas injector. Furthermore, the invention relates to a gas supply and handling system for an epitaxial deposition apparatus.
