  • Patent number: 9624602
    Abstract: An epitaxial wafer manufacturing device, including a shield (12), which in addition to being removably attached inside a chamber, is arranged in close proximity to the lower surface of a top plate (3). The shield has a substrate (12a) having an opening (13) in the central portion thereof that forces a gas inlet (9) to face the inside of a reaction space (K), and a thin film (12b) that covers the lower surface of the substrate. The surface of the thin film has the shape of surface irregularities corresponding to fine surface irregularities formed in the lower surface of the substrate. When the shield has undergone thermal deformation as a result of being heated by heating means (8), deposits deposited on the lower surface of the shield are inhibited from falling off by the shape of the surface irregularities.
