  • Patent number: 10704145
    Abstract: A reaction chamber for a chemical vapor apparatus is disclosed. The reaction chamber for the chemical vapor apparatus comprises a housing including an internal space and a susceptor disposed in the internal space so that a substrate is loaded on an upper surface of the susceptor. A shower head is disposed above the susceptor in the internal space of the housing to spray process gas towards the substrate side. An inner barrel with open top and bottom is placed inside the internal space of the reaction chamber so that an upper edge of the barrel is positioned near the showerhead to enclose the substrate and the susceptor. A driving part is connected to the inner barrel. When it is needed to replace the susceptor and the substrate, the inner barrel is changed into an open state in which the substrate and the susceptor disposed in the inner barrel are exposed to the outside of the inner barrel by an operation of the driving part.

  • Patent number: 9476121
    Abstract: A showerhead for chemical vapor deposition includes: a plurality of reactive gas showerhead modules separated each other and having the same number as the number of kinds of reactive gases injected from the showerhead, each having a mixing zone in the reactive gas showerhead module to induce a mixing of a reactive gas and an injection support gas used to regulate the injection velocity of the reactive gas and a plurality of reactive gas injection tubes connected to the bottom surface of the reactive gas showerhead module for injecting the reactive gas mixed with the injection support gas over the substrate; and a purge gas showerhead module mounted under the reactive gas showerhead modules, with a purge gas supply port for supplying a purge gas to the purge gas showerhead module.

  • Patent number: 9469900
    Abstract: A method for chemical vapor deposition using a showerhead through which at least one reactive gas and a purge gas are injected over a substrate, wherein the method includes: disposing the showerhead such that the bottom surface of the showerhead is spaced apart from the substrate by a predetermined distance; supplying a reactive gas and an injection support gas into the showerhead, wherein reactive gases of different kinds are respectively delivered into compartments formed at inside of the showerhead; mixing each reactive gas with its corresponding injection support gas in each mixing zone at inside of the showerhead; supplying a purge gas into a separated compartment at inside of the showerhead; and injecting the reactive gas mixed with the injection support gas and the purge gas through a plurality of reactive gas exits and a plurality of purge gas exits formed at the bottom surface of the showerhead, respectively.

  • Patent number: 9315897
    Abstract: A showerhead for film-depositing vacuum equipment having an effect shortening the length of injection tubes for a reactive gas is presented. The injection tubes extend from the bottom of a reactive gas showerhead module, and two different kinds of reactive gases are mixed with an injection support gas within a reactive showerhead module so as to inject the mixed gas. The showerhead for film-depositing vacuum equipment includes the reactive gas showerhead module above a cooling jacket and a purge gas showerhead module above the reactive gas showerhead module. The injection tubes of the reactive gas showerhead module pass through the cooling jacket disposed below the reactive gas showerhead module, and the injection tubes of the purge gas showerhead module pass through the reactive gas showerhead module disposed below the purge gas showerhead module, thereby enabling the purge gas to flow into a purge gas redistribution space defined above the cooling jacket.

  • Patent number: 8882913
    Abstract: The present invention is related to an apparatus and a method for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using a showerhead through which a reactive gas of at least one kind and a purge gas is injected over a substrate on which a film is growing. A plural number of reactive gas showerhead modules are laid on a purge gas showerhead module. Each reactive gas is injected from a bottom of the showerhead after flowing through the showerhead as separated, thereby preventing the reactive gases from causing homogeneous gas phase reactions and from generating unwanted particles at the inside of the showerhead. And a purge gas is injected from the bottom surface of the showerhead by forming a protective curtain, thereby suppressing diffusion of the reactive gas injected backwardly.
