3.5.2 Susceptor
The susceptor is a graphite disk, coated with approximately 100 µm of SiC,
which holds the process wafers. It is located on top of the susceptor support.
The susceptor support rotates in a clockwise direction to ensure homoge-
neous temperatures during the process.
The susceptor is rotated by a motor drive. A rotation speed of 50…200 rpm is
normally used (maximum speed: 500 rpm).
Different susceptor variants are available to cater for different numbers, types,
and thicknesses of wafers.
