High density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDP-CVD) processing of gallium arsenide wafers

摘要

Method for processing gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafers is provided. One embodiment of the invention provides a method for processing a substrate comprising disposing the substrate on a substrate support member in a high density plasma chemical vapor deposition chamber, depositing a film onto a surface of the substrate, and after deposition of the film, flowing a heat transfer gas in one or more channels on a substrate support surface of the substrate support member.
