Method of feeding gases into a reactor to grow epitaxial structures based on group III nitride metals and a device for carrying out said method
The invention relates to methods for the chemical application of coatings by the decay of gaseous compounds, in particular to methods for injecting gases into a reaction chamber. The invention also relates to means for feeding gases into a reaction chamber, said means providing for the regulation of streams of reactive gases, and ensures the possibility of obtaining multi-layer epitaxial structures having set parameters and based on nitrides of group III metals while simultaneously increasing the productivity and cost-effectiveness of the process of the epitaxial growth thereof. Before being fed into a reactor, all of the gas streams are sent to a mixing chamber connected to the reactor, and are then fed into the reactor via a flux former under laminar flow conditions. The mixing chamber and the flux former are equipped with means for maintaining a set temperature. As a result of these solutions, a gaseous mixture with set parameters is fed into the reactor, and the formation of vortices is simultaneously prevented. The maximum allowable volume of the mixing chamber is chosen to take into account the process parameters and the required rarity of heterojunctions.

Remote plasma oxidation chamber
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a process chamber for conformal oxidation of high aspect ratio structures. The process chamber includes a liner assembly located in a first side of a chamber body and two pumping ports located in a substrate support portion adjacent a second side of the chamber body opposite the first side. The liner assembly includes a flow divider to direct fluid flow away from a center of a substrate disposed in a processing region of the process chamber. The liner assembly may be fabricated from quartz minimize interaction with process gases, such as radicals. The liner assembly is designed to reduce flow constriction of the radicals, leading to increased radical concentration and flux. The two pumping ports can be individually controlled to tune the flow of the radicals through the processing region of the process chamber.
