Abstract

See full text

A vapor deposition system and its wafer and thin-film temperature control method are disclosed. A susceptor carries a plurality of wafer holders with each bearing a wafer. The susceptor makes revolution around a center axle and each wafer holder rotates around its own axis. A carrier gas approaches a first surface of the wafer and is heated to form a thin film to be deposited on the first surface. An isothermal plate is placed at a second surface of the wafer and the second surface is opposite to the first surface. One or more remote temperature-measuring elements measure a temperature of a rear surface of the isothermal plate and the rear surface is opposite to the wafer, and a wafer-side temperature is calculated by the measured rear surface temperature of the isothermal plate.
