Abstract

See full text

An apparatus is provided for thermally processing substrates held in a carrier. The apparatus includes an across-flow liner to improve gas flow uniformity across the surface of each substrate. The across-flow liner of the present invention includes a longitudinal bulging section to accommodate a across-flow injection system. The liner is patterned and sized so that it is conformal to the wafer carrier, and as a result, reduces the gap between the liner and the wafer carrier to reduce or eliminate vortices and stagnation in the gap areas between the wafer carrier and the liner inner wall.
