Abstract

See full text

A method of depositing an epitaxial layer on a silicon wafer is described. The silicon wafer has a diameter, and is disposed within a processing chamber within a deposition system. The deposition includes a gas distribution plate in fluid communication with a gas injecting port and the processing chamber. The method includes the steps of introducing a process gas into the system from the gas injecting port, flowing the process gas through a flow channel extending along a lengthwise direction of the system and being tapered along the lengthwise direction of the system in at least one of a vertical or horizontal direction, wherein the flow channel is defined by an inject insert liner assembly adjacent to the gas distribution plate, and depositing an epitaxial layer on the wafer at a deposition rate of at least about 2.3 micrometers per minute.
