| 摘要 |
The invention describes an apparatus for chemical vapor deposition on substrates, a related method of deposition of epitaxial layers on the wafers and an assemblage for use therewith. In the apparatus of the invention, the wafers are placed directly on the surface of a heating filament.The apparatus of the invention may include a reaction chamber, a rotatable spindle, a plurality of rotatable electrodes mounted on the spindle for rotation together with the spindle and a heating filament in electrical contact with the rotatable electrodes. The heating filament may be rotated by rotating the rotatable electrodes, and heated by providing electric current to the electrodes. In one embodiment of the invention, heating filament may be detached from the rotatable electrodes to load or unload the wafers. Preferably, the heating filament is transported between a deposition position and a loading position. Alternatively, the heating filament is permanently mounted on the electrodes.
