Abstract

Susceptor assemblies comprising a susceptor with a support post are described. The susceptor has a body with a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface has a plurality of recesses therein. The support post is connected to the bottom surface of the susceptor to rotate the susceptor assembly. The support post includes support post vacuum plenum in fluid communication with a susceptor vacuumplenum in the body of the susceptor. The support post also includes a purge gas line extending through the support post to a purge gas plenum in the body of the susceptor.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to devices and methods for preventing backside deposition. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to apparatus and methods for preventing deposition on the backside of a substrate in a spatial atomic layer deposition processing chamber. Background technique [0002] In a spatial atomic layer deposition (ALD) process, a deposition gas may contact the backside of the substrate, resulting in backside deposition. Backside deposition can be an issue in batch chambers using multi-wafer susceptor arrangements. Current batch processing systems have backside deposition of up to 30 millimeters in magnitude around the outer edge of the wafer. Accordingly, there is a need in the art for devices and methods for preventing backside deposition in batch processing chambers. Contents of the invention [0003] One or more embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a base assembly including a base having...
