Numerical analysis of the use of multiple inlet plates to improve the thickness uniformity of silicon epitaxial layers during atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition by Ba-Phuoc Le, Jyh-Chen Chen, Chieh Hu, Wei-Jie Lin, Chun-Chin Tu, Liang-Chin Chen

“…The results show that in a reactor without an inlet plate, the rapid growth of the trichlorosilane (TCS) reaction boundary layer from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the wafer results in a rapid decay of the deposition rate on the wafer surface. In addition, the rotation of the susceptor causes tilting of the deposition rate pattern on the wafer due to the viscous force. …”
