An apparatus for depositing a material layer originating from process gas on a substrate wafer, contains: a reactor chamber delimited by an upper dome, a lower dome, and a side wall; a susceptor for holding the substrate wafer during the deposition of the material layer; a preheating ring surrounding the susceptor; a liner, on which the preheating ring is supported in a centered position wherein a gap having a uniform width is present between the preheating ring and the susceptor; and a spacer acting between the liner and the preheating ring, the spacer keeping the preheating ring in the centered position and providing a distance &Dgr; between the preheating ring and the liner. |
