A semiconductor furnace suitable for chemical vapor deposition processing of wafers. The furnace includes a thermal reaction chamber having a top, a bottom, a sidewall, and an internal cavity for removably holding a batch of vertically stacked wafers. A heating system is provided that includes a plurality of heaters arranged and operative to heat the chamber. The heating system includes at least one top heater; at least one bottom heater, and a plurality of sidewall heaters spaced along the height of the reaction chamber to control temperature variations within in the chamber and promote uniform film deposit thickness on the wafers.
