  • Patent number: 7393418
    Abstract: A susceptor at least a surface thereof being coated with SiC, includes a recess where an wafer is mounted, the recess having an round portion disposed on a lower portion of an outer circumferential portion of the recess, a ring-shaped SiC crystal growth surface portion provided within the round portion in a range of 0.05 mm or more and 0.3 mm or less defined from an outer circumference vertical portion of the recess and a contact portion, where the susceptor contacts with the wafer on the recess, having a surface roughness Ra in a range of 0.5 ?m or more and 3 ?m or less.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 22, 2005
    Date of Patent: July 1, 2008
    Assignee: Covalent Materials Corporation
    Inventor: Masanari Yokogawa
  • Patent number: 7255775
    Abstract: There is provided a semiconductor wafer treatment member in which the occurrence of slippage thereof is prevented and which has an adequate cohesiveness onto the semiconductor wafer and an excellent durability. The semiconductor wafer treatment member A of the present invention has at least a surface formed with a silicon carbide (SiC) film thereon, comprising a support portion for receiving a semiconductor wafer, said support portion being composed of salients with which said semiconductor wafer substantially comes into contact; and depressions formed with the silicon carbide (SiC) film to provide a coverage area between said salients, said salients being formed with top surfaces having a surface roughness Ra of 0.05 ?m to 1.3 ?m.
    Type: Grant
