This invention relates to the field of
vapor phase etching (VPE) apparatus technology, specifically a double-sided VPE apparatus for
semiconductor silicon wafers. The apparatus includes a VPE apparatus body, a
silicon wafer transfer mechanism at the upper end of the apparatus body, an
etching chamber fixedly mounted on the outer side of the apparatus body, and a mounting base fixedly mounted on the upper end of the
etching chamber. By combining the VPE mechanism with a central air-guiding mechanism, stable adsorption of the
semiconductor silicon wafer is ensured during the etching process, avoiding vibration and improving etching efficiency and precision. A Bernoulli-style chuck structure is formed by the cooperation of the air-guiding support stage and the central stage, stably "fixing" the silicon
wafer above the air-guiding support stage, minimizing contact with the
semiconductor silicon wafer, avoiding physical damage and
contamination, and simultaneously enabling multi-directional
airflow distribution to meet auxiliary heat dissipation needs for the semiconductor silicon wafer, further improving the accuracy and etching efficiency of the VPE process.
