DEPOSITION SYSTEMS HAVING ACCESS GATES AT DESIRABLE LOCATIONS, AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

Deposition systems include a reaction chamber, and a substrate support structure disposed at least partially within the reaction chamber. The systems further include at least one gas injection device and at least one vacuum device, which together are used to flow process gases through the reaction chamber. The systems also include at least one access gate through which a workpiece substrate may be loaded into the reaction chamber and unloaded out from the reaction chamber. The at least one access gate is located remote from the gas injection device. Methods of depositing semiconductor material may be performed using such deposition systems. Methods of fabricating such deposition systems may include coupling an access gate to a reaction chamber at a location remote from a gas injection device.
