Low Thermal Mass Semiconductor Wafer Boat

摘要

A wafer boat for a semiconductor wafer includes vertical rods, fingers supported by the vertical rods, and plates supported by the fingers. The plate has a support surface for supporting the wafer and a recessed surface spaced from the support surface and spaced from the wafer. A plurality of holes extends from the recessed surface, and the support surface is free of holes to inhibit contamination of the wafer.
