Gas-phase deposition is learned, for growing epitaxial wafer.It is with III group, the organic compound of II race element and V, VI race's element
The reaction gas as chip growth such as hydride, carried out in Sapphire Substrate or other substrates in a manner of pyrolysis
Epitaxial deposition process grows the extension material of various iii-vs, VI compound semiconductor of II- and their multivariate solid solution
The bed of material.The growth conditions of usual MOCVD is carried out at low pressure (1000-10000pa), and carrier gas (the usually N2 used is grown
Or H2) be mixed in a certain ratio and be passed through in reaction chamber with unstrpped gas, underlayer temperature is generally between 700-1500K.

And well contact and formed in the chip 3 of array distribution, 2 upper surface top view of wafer carrier with thermally conductive layer, as shown in Fig. 2,
Fixation is had no between thermally conductive layer 21 and support frame 22 simultaneously, thermally conductive layer 21 is only to be bonded to be located on support frame 22.Cooling water
There is the gap 4 of certain distance between plate 1 and wafer carrier support frame 22, there is also certain between support frame bottom surface and thermally conductive layer
Distance, therefore, the actual range between thermally conductive layer and cooling water plate are larger.Under this distance condition, cooling water plate passes through radiation
The mode of heat transfer gradually decreases the thermally conductive layer temperature in wafer carrier, cools down the temperature of chip to realize.Together
When, in order to improve cooling uniformity, in cooling procedure, increase N among support plate and cooling water plate2, to make thermally conductive layer
Temperature can be in N2Effect is lower uniformly cooling, to promote the temperature cooling uniformity of chip, promotes wafer property.
Such cooling structure realizes carry out cooling purpose to chip to a certain extent, but passes through simulating, verifying and phase
Test discovery is closed, due to radiant heat transfer feature, the spacing of thermally conductive layer and cooling water plate is larger, so that conduct radiation efficiency
It is lower, it cannot achieve the high efficiency cooling to support plate upper surface chip, constrain the volume production of equipment.
