    • This invention provides a method and apparatus for supporting a wafer in a processing chamber, where the wafer is supported and heated from below via a heater pedestal having a diameter larger than that of the wafer. A process fluid flowing downward toward the top of the wafer is inhibited from depositing near the wafer edge by a shadow ring. The shadow ring, which is placed over but does not contact the wafer, physically masks an annular strip of the wafer near its edge. The shadow ring inhibits deposition of process fluides on the wafer in two distinct ways. First, the shadow ring physically obstructs process gas, flowing downward from above the wafer, from depositing on the masked portion of the wafer. Second, the shadow ring is used to direct a flow of a purge gas to inhibit process gas from seeping under the shadow ring and depositing near the wafer edge. A purge gas manifold is defined by a cylindrical annulus located concentrically below the shadow ring and circumscribing the heater pedestal. A purge gap between the wafer and the shadow ring forms the outlet of the purge gas manifold. The purge gas flows out of the purge gap, inhibiting the process gas from entering the purge gap, and thus further inhibiting deposition on the masked portion of the wafer.
    • 本发明提供了一种用于在处理室中支撑晶片的方法和装置,其中通过直径大于晶片直径的加热器基座从下方支撑晶片并从其下被加热。 向晶片顶部向下流动的工艺流体被阴影环抑制在晶片边缘附近沉积。 放置在但不接触晶片的阴影环在其边缘附近物理屏蔽晶片的环形条。 阴影环以两种截然不同的方式阻止了工艺流程在晶片上沉积。 首先,阴影环物理地阻挡从晶片上方向下流动的工艺气体沉积在晶片的掩蔽部分上。 第二,阴影环用于引导吹扫气体的流动,以阻止处理气体在阴影环下渗出并沉积在晶片边缘附近。 吹扫气体歧管由同心地位于阴影环下方并围绕加热器基座的圆柱形环限定。 晶片和阴影环之间的吹扫间隙形成吹扫气体歧管的出口。 净化气体流出吹扫间隙,阻止处理气体进入吹扫间隙,从而进一步抑制沉积在晶片的掩蔽部分上。
