APPARATUS FOR GROWING A SEMICONDUCTOR WAFER AND ASSOCIATED MANUFACTURING PROCESS
An apparatus for growing semiconductor wafers, in particular of silicon carbide, wherein a chamber houses a collection container and a support or susceptor arranged over the container. The support is formed by a frame surrounding an opening accommodating a plurality of arms and a seat. The frame has a first a second surface, opposite to each other, with the first surface of the frame facing the support. The arms are formed by cantilever bars extending from the frame into the opening, having a maximum height smaller than the frame, and having at the top a resting edge. The resting edges of the arms define a resting surface that is at a lower level than the second surface of the frame. The seat has a bottom formed by the resting surface.
Reaction chamber
The present disclosure discloses a reaction chamber, including a chamber body, the chamber body being connected to an upper cover by an insulation member, the chamber body and the upper cover forming an inner chamber, and the upper cover being provided with a through-hole that is communicated with the inner chamber; a gas inlet mechanism including an insulation body at least partially arranged in the through-hole, a gas inlet channel being arranged in the insulation body, a flange part being arranged on one side of the insulation body facing away from the inner chamber, the flange part being grounded and configured to communicate a gas inlet end of the gas inlet channel with a gas output end of a gas inlet pipe configure to transfer a reaction gas, a gas outlet end of the gas inlet channel being communicated with the inner chamber.
