Abstract:
1. An apparatus for manufacturing an epitaxial wafer by growing an epitaxial layer by reaction of a semiconductor wafer and a source gas in a reaction furnace comprising: the reaction furnace in which the reaction takes place; a susceptor configured for holding the semiconductor wafer on which the epitaxial layer is grown, the susceptor comprising a pocket in which the semiconductor wafer is to be placed, the susceptor having a physical feature for affecting the growth of the epitaxial layer on the semiconductor wafer in accordance with a crystal orientation on the semiconductor wafer, the susceptor configured to be rotated with the semiconductor wafer in the furnace; and an outlet from which the source gas flows, the outlet provided on the reaction furnace so as to provide the source gas in the reaction furnace.
