Susceptor for a gas phase growth apparatus

摘要

A susceptor 1 for a gas phase growth apparatus to which a round depressed pocket 2 with a bottom a side wall is formed for the placing of a semiconductor wafer 3 wherein a protuberance 6 is provided on the circumference of the pocket at and near the position ere said semiconductor wafer touches said side wall 4 of the pocket 2 in such a way that the protuberance 6 covers a part of a chamfered area of said semiconductor wafer 3 without touching it. Thus cracks and breakage due to adhesion between a susceptor and a wafer may be prevented.
