CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION 
       [0001]    This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/475,392, filed Apr. 14, 2011 and titled “Substrate Holders”, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 
     
    
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0002]    This invention generally relates to an apparatus used in the manufacture of components in the compound semiconductor and related industries. More particularly, the invention relates to a substrate holder for a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) effusion cell or source or for a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition process (MOCVD). 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0003]    Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is a growth process that involves the deposition of thin films of material onto a substrate in a vacuum by directing molecular or atomic beams onto the substrate. Deposited atoms and molecules migrate to energetically preferred lattice positions on the substrate, which is heated, yielding film growth of high crystalline quality, and optimum thickness uniformity. MBE is widely used in compound semiconductor research and in the semiconductor device fabrication industry, for thin-film deposition of elemental semiconductors, metals, and insulating layers. 
         [0004]    A common apparatus utilized in MBE deposition is a thermal effusion cell or source. Thermal effusion cells typically include a crucible that contains the effusion material (e.g., gallium, arsenic, and/or other elements or compounds). The crucible is heated by a resistive filament to heat and effuse the material out of an orifice into an ultra high vacuum growth chamber for deposit on the substrate, which is located in the chamber. Typically, multiple cells are mounted, via ports, in the growth chamber. One or more of the cells are actuated and generate a beam that is directed at a predetermined angle toward the substrate, which is mounted on a substrate holder. Control of the beam is typically accomplished via shutters and/or valves. In use, various preparatory procedures are performed on the substrate, the cells are powered up, heated, and unshuttered. A desired epitaxial deposition is thereby accomplished on the heated, rotating substrate. After growth is completed, the formed wafer is cooled, inspected, and processed for removal from the chamber. 
         [0005]    In MBE processes, the position of the substrate within growth chamber is critical to achieving a certain growth of materials on the substrate, which can be accomplished by precisely mounting the substrate to a substrate holder in a variety of different ways. For one example, it is known to secure a substrate within a substrate holder using an adhesive material, such as an adhesive metal that has a relatively low melting point. For another example, a substrate can be mechanically fastened to a substrate holder. In general, currently available substrate holders use many different means in an attempt to support the substrate without over-constraining the wafer in such a way that it is difficult to remove from the substrate holder when desired. It is therefore desirable to provide a substrate holder in which the substrate can be held with as little force as possible while maintaining the substrate in a position in which it can be heated to a uniform temperature while minimizing the risk of deposition material reaching the side of the substrate that is not being treated. It is particularly desirable that such a substrate holder could provide these advantages in a downward facing growth system, such as an MBE system (e.g., the GEN10/20/200/2000 automated MBE systems available from Veeco Instruments Inc.), and/or that the substrate holder could provide these advantages in an upward facing growth system, such as a MOCVD system. 
       SUMMARY 
       [0006]    In accordance with the invention, substrate holders are provided for use in a MBE system, a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system, and/or another system in which it would be advantageous to provide accurate placement and holding of a wafer or substrate. The substrate holders are provided to support substrates or wafers during transfer of the substrate within the processing system. Substrate holders in accordance with the present invention are provided to hold a substrate in known orientation with respect to an alignment feature (e.g., a “flat”) of the substrate and also can provide for self-centering or self-orientation of the substrate. Such a substrate can be used in accordance with a method that shields or masks the backside of the substrate, which is the side that is opposite the side on which deposition takes place. In other words, the substrate holders of the invention are provided to limit deposition to only the front side of the substrate or wafer, which can in part be accomplished by maintaining a substrate in a centered position within a substrate holder during the entire processing operation. In addition, the substrate holder can allow for RHEED characterization during growth. The substrate holder further provides for high temperature resistance, can be resistant to corrosion from growth materials and/or background gasses, and can provide for low out-gassing during use at high temperatures. 
         [0007]    In aspects of the substrate holder of the invention, the holder is provided with spring tensioning mechanisms that can hold the substrate while allowing for thermal expansion during the deposition process. In addition, the tensioning mechanism can be configured to prevent rotation of the substrate during transfer of the substrate, during the growth process, and due to vibration of the substrate. In further aspects of the invention, a substrate can be held in a centered position relative to the substrate holder via only one or more tension devices (i.e., without a supporting lip or shelf beneath the substrate).

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0025]    In an aspect of the invention, a substrate holder is provided for a single substrate, wherein the holder includes a holder body that houses one or more tensioning devices generally of the type that are described in detail below. Such exemplary tensioning devices can include a body portion, at least one cam member, and one or more springs for engagement with an edge of a substrate to hold the substrate with a desired amount of tension. The body portion of the tensioning device is placed within a specifically oriented and configured opening of a substrate holder body. Locking or activating the tensioning members can be accomplished by rotating the cam member to lock the spring and cam to a set position that provides a desired amount of tension on the spring. 
         [0026]    Referring now to the Figures, wherein the components are labeled with like numerals throughout the several Figures, and initially to  FIG. 1 , an exemplary configuration of a substrate holder  10  of the invention is illustrated with a substrate or wafer  12  positioned in an exemplary location relative to a central opening  14  of the holder. The substrate holder  10  is designed to advantageously provide structures and features for centering the substrate  12  within the holder so that heat transfer to the substrate  12  can be as uniform as possible across its surfaces and so that gaps between the substrate and substrate holder are minimized or prevented. In this way, the amount of useful wafer material that can be provided by a single substrate or wafer can be increased during a controlled substrate processing operation. The substrate holder  10  can also allow for a certain amount of growth or shrinking of the substrate  12  during the processing of the substrate while continuing to accurately maintain the substrate  12  in a desired location. 
         [0027]    Substrate holder  10  includes a body  20  having a number of molded or machined features that are described in further detail below. The body  20  further includes at least one opening  22 , and in one exemplary embodiment, the body  20  includes three openings  22  spaced from each other around its circumference. More or less than three of such openings  22  can be provided, depending on the desired number of locations of contact with the substrate and the desired positions of these contact locations relative to the outer edges of the substrate. Each of the multiple openings can be spaced at the same distance from an adjacent opening  22 , or the openings  22  of a single body  20  can be spaced at different distances from each other. 
         [0028]    One embodiment of body  20  of substrate holder  10  includes an optional outer ring  24  and an adjacent main or inner ring  26  in which the openings  22  are positioned. A top surface  32  of a cam member  30  is visible at the top of each of the openings  22 , and can be flush with the surface of the inner ring  26 , or can be either recessed or extending relative to the surface of the inner ring  26 . The top surface  32  of cam member  30  further includes a slot  34  extending across its width, wherein the slot  34  is configured for engagement with some type of a tool, such as a tip of a screwdriver, for example. It is contemplated that the top surface  32  can instead or additionally include other engagement features, such as a slot that only extends across a portion of the width of the top surface, a slot or recess with a different shape other than a straight line, and/or other features that are engageable with a tool for reorientation of the cam member  30 . Alternatively, the cam member  30  can be configured so that it can be rotated or otherwise reoriented by hand rather than with a tool. 
         [0029]    An exemplary embodiment of cam member  30  is shown in several orientations in  FIGS. 9   a - 9   d  in order to illustrate its various surfaces and features. These figures also illustrate cam member  30  having top surface  32  with the recessed slot  34 , as described above. Top surface  32  can further include an indicator  36 , which is shown as a notch in this embodiment. The indicator  36  is usable by an operator as a way to visually determine whether the cam member is in a loaded position, an unloaded position, or in between a loaded and unloaded position at any particular time. Thus, the indicator  36  may be a notch as shown, which can be larger, smaller, and/or have a different shape than is illustrated in this embodiment, or may instead be provided as some type of mark or indicia on the top surface  32  that can be easily viewed by the operator. Each cam member  30  can have one or more indicators  36 , which may be the same or different from each other. In any case, the cam member  30  can be rotated about its axis until the indicator  36  is in a predetermined position that corresponds to a desired loading condition that is known by the user. 
         [0030]    With continued reference to  FIGS. 9   a - 9   d , cam member  30  includes a top portion  38  and an adjacent bottom portion  40  extending from the side of top portion  38  that is opposite the top surface  32 . The top portion  38  is a generally circular disc that includes top surface  32 , slot  34 , and one or more indicators  36 . The outer diameter of the top portion  38  is at least slightly smaller than the opening  22  of the body  20  in which it will be inserted, and is configured so that it can be rotated relative to the opening  22  in which it is positioned. The bottom portion  40  of cam member  30  can have a wide variety of outer shapes, wherein this exemplary embodiment illustrates the bottom portion  40  as having a flat surface  42  and a curved surface  44  extending from both ends of the flat surface  42  and around the remaining perimeter of the bottom portion  40 . 
         [0031]    A portion of the curved surface  44  generally follows the curve of an outer surface  46  of the top portion  38  on one side of the top portion  38  so that the flat surface  42  is spaced from the outer curved surface  46  on the opposite side of the top portion  38 . Thus, the bottom portion  40  provides eccentricity to the cam member  30  when assembled into a tensioning device, as will be described below. The bottom member  40  further includes a notch or slot  48  that extends generally through the opposite edge of bottom member  40  from the flat surface  42 . Notch or slot  48  optionally includes a flat surface  49  that is spaced from the outer curved surface  46  and defines an inner edge of the notch  48 . As shown in this embodiment, the flat surface  42  of bottom portion  40  is spaced closer to a central longitudinal axis  50  of the cam member  30  than the flat surface  49  of the notch  48 . This different spacing of the flat surfaces  42  and  49  from a longitudinal axis  50  of the cam member  30  is specifically selected and designed to provide a desired amount of tension on a tensioning device. 
         [0032]    An exemplary configuration of a tensioning device  60  is illustrated in  FIGS. 5-8  as it can be oriented relative to body  20  of substrate holder  10 . Tensioning device  60  includes cam member  30  and a spring  62 . In embodiments of the invention, spring  62  can be made from any material or combination of materials that retains its spring properties at the growth temperature used in the substrate processing. Spring  62  may be made of a variety of materials, including refractory metals such as pure Tungsten wire. Spring  62  may also be made of materials such as alloys of Tungsten/Rhenium/Rhodium/Molybdenum, and/or other materials that meet the temperature requirements of the process, which temperatures can be relatively high. In certain embodiments, the spring can be made from a ceramic material or pyrolytic boron nitride. In cases where the processing temperatures are lower, different materials can be used that do not need the same heat-resistant properties. In any case, it is desirable that the material chosen for the spring performs with desired characteristics when subjected to certain processing temperatures. 
         [0033]    As shown, spring member  62  includes an elongated portion  64  and a contact portion  66  extending from each of the ends of elongated portion  64 . In the illustrated embodiment, the contact portions  66  extend downwardly at an approximately 90-degree angle from the central axis of the elongated portion  64  and in a downward direction relative to the top surface of the body  20  of holder  10 . However, the contact portions  66  can extend at a different angle from the elongated portion  64  and/or the contact portions  66  may be otherwise configured (e.g., curved in one or more directions, or provided with an outer coating material). In any case, the contact portions are configured to provide predetermined points of contact with the edge of a wafer or substrate. 
         [0034]    As is illustrated, when the tensioning device  60  is assembled relative to the substrate holder  10 , the spring  62  is spaced from the top surface  32  of cam member  30  so that it can contact the cam member  30  in certain locations along its height, depending on whether or not the tensioning device is providing tension to hold a substrate within a substrate holder (i.e., whether the tensioning device is loaded or unloaded). In order to accommodate the various positions of the spring  62  relative to the substrate holder, the inner ring  26  of body  20  includes a relief area or notch  70  along an inner surface of its backing ring support lip  72 . Each of the relief areas or notches  70  corresponds with one of the contact portions  66  of spring  62 . In this way, the contact portions  66  can be retracted into one of the relief areas  70  when it is desired to release tension on a substrate so that the contact portions  66  do not extend beyond the inner surface of inner ring  26 , such as during the process of loading and unloading a substrate or wafer  12 . 
         [0035]    As can also be seen in these figures that show a substrate holder without a substrate positioned therein (e.g.,  FIG. 8 ), body  20  of holder  10  further includes a substrate support lip  74  on which a substrate  12  can rest. The substrate support lip  74  extends at least slightly beyond the backing lip toward the center of the central opening  14  so that it can pass by the backing support lip  72  when a substrate  12  is being inserted into the central opening  14 . It is preferable, however, that the amount of overlap between the substrate and the substrate support lip  74  is minimized by designing the width of the support lip  74  to be as small as possible, as is discussed in further detail below. 
         [0036]      FIGS. 10 and 11  illustrate three tensioning devices  60  as they can be positioned relative to a substrate or wafer  12  before or after the substrate  12  is contacted and held in place via tension from any of the tensioning devices  60 . For clarity of illustration and to better view the tensioning devices, the body  20  of holder  10  is not shown in this figure. In this configuration, the cam member  30  is positioned so that the elongated portion  64  of the spring  60  is in contact with the flat surface  42  (not visible in this figure) of bottom portion  40 . This position of the tensioning devices  60  can be referred to as an unloaded position, which is the position in which the contact portions  66  of the springs  62  do not contact the outer edge of the substrate  12 . 
         [0037]      FIGS. 12 and 13  illustrate three tensioning devices  60  as they can be positioned relative to a substrate or wafer  12  when the substrate  12  is being held in place via tension from the tensioning devices  60 . In this configuration, the cam member  30  is rotated approximately 180 degrees from its unloaded condition shown in  FIGS. 10 and 11  so that the elongated portion  64  of the spring  60  is positioned within the notch  48  of the bottom portion  40 , and can be in contact along a portion of its length with the flat surface  49  of the notch  48 . This position of the tensioning devices  60  can be referred to as a loaded position, which is the position in which the contact portions  66  of the springs  62  are in contact and pressing against the outer edge of the substrate  12 . As is noted above, notch  48  is located so that its furthest point (i.e., the flat surface  49 ) is further from the centerline  50  of the cam member  30  than the flat surface  42  of bottom portion  40 . The difference between these distances from the centerline  50  corresponds to the difference in the distance that the spring  62  can move toward and away from the substrate  12  when rotating the cam member  30  between its loaded position and its unloaded position. Therefore, the amount of travel that is desired for the springs  62  directly corresponds to the amount of tension that can be provided by the spring  62  on a substrate, and the various components of the system are preferably designed and selected to provide a desired amount of tension. For one example, the bottom portion  40  of cam member  30  can be specifically designed and located relative to the top portion  38  to provide a desired amount of movement of the spring  62  toward and away from the substrate. In another example, the spring  62  is provided with a certain predetermined characteristics, such as a particular curvature, flexibility, elastic properties, and/or other features or characteristics that will allow it to react in a predetermined way to movement of the cam member  30 . 
         [0038]    Referring again to  FIG. 1 , the substrate holder  10  is shown with a substrate or wafer  12  positioned therein, where the substrate includes a flat portion  16  that can be referred to as an “indicating flat”. Such a flat portion  16  can be used to orient the substrate  12  in a desired orientation, such as an orientation that corresponds to a certain crystal structure or crystal orientation. The substrate  12  can alternatively be provided with more than one flat portion, or the substrate can be provided with one or more different features (e.g., indicia, notches, and the like) that can provide information to the user regarding orientation of the substrate  12 . In this exemplary embodiment, when the substrate  12  is positioned within the opening  14  of the substrate holder  10 , the flat portion  16  is positioned to correspond with a corresponding flat area of the opening  14 . In this illustrated configuration, the surface of the substrate that is visible in the drawing can be referred to as a backside  18  of the substrate  12 , and the surface of the body  20  that is visible in the drawing is likewise referred to as the backside of the body  20 . In one method of loading the substrate  12 , the substrate is positioned with its backside  18  facing upward and inserted into the body  20  from its backside. When the substrate  12  is being treated, such as in an MBE process, the front side of the substrate, which is the surface that is opposite from the backside  18 , is at least partially exposed through the central opening  14 . This side of the substrate that is opposite the backside  18  can also be referred to as the growth side of the substrate and can therefore be subjected to the MBE processing steps. 
         [0039]    In an exemplary embodiment, the size and length of the substrate support lip  74  is minimized in order to maximize the amount of the substrate that is usable after treatment thereof. The ability to center the substrate within the substrate holder and maintain it in this position allows for this lip size to be minimized, since the centered substrate is less likely to allow for gaps to be created between the substrate and the holder. It is further preferable that the substrate support lip  74  is made of a relatively thin material when it is desired to minimize shadowing. After the substrate  12  is positioned in its desired location relative to the body  20 , a backing ring  80  can be placed in the central opening  14  so that it contacts the backing ring support lip  72  of the body  20 , which spaces it from the substrate  12 , as is best illustrated in  FIGS. 4 and 8 . This backing ring  80  provides shadowing of direct radiation to the edge of the substrate  12 . That is, ring  80  can block some of the heat that is generated so that it is acting as a heat or radiation shield to keep the edge of the substrate from getting hotter than desired. 
         [0040]    Either before or after the backing ring  80  is inserted into the central opening  14  of the body  20 , but after the substrate  12  is located within the opening of the body  20 , the tensioning devices  60  can be manipulated to hold the substrate in its desired position. Referring again to  FIG. 1 , each of the cam members  30  is positioned so that its indicator  36  (shown as a notch in these figures) is facing toward the central opening  14 . However, it is not necessary that the indicators  36  are positioned in this orientation, but is only desirable that the operator knows what the position of the indicators are relative to the body  20  for each of the conditions of the tensioning devices. In this embodiment, when an indicator is facing toward the central opening  14 , the tensioning device  60  is considered to be unloaded. In this position, the substrate is preferably insertable with minimal to no contact with the springs  62  of the tensioning devices  60 . In order to place tension on the substrate  12  with the tensioning devices  60 , the cam members  30  can be rotated by a certain predetermined amount (e.g., 180 degrees) to move the contact portions  66  of each of the springs from its respective relief area  70  and into contact with the outer edge of the substrate. 
         [0041]      FIG. 14  illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a multiple substrate holder  100 . Holder  100  includes many of the same features discussed above relative to substrate holder  10 , but holder  100  can accommodate multiple substrates or wafers for processing generally simultaneously. Holder  100  includes three openings  112  that extend at least partially through a platen  110 , which is circular in this figure, but could instead have a different shape. Holder  100  may instead include more or less than three openings  112 , and it is possible that holder  100  has multiple openings with less than all of the openings containing a substrate during the processing thereof. Each of the openings  112  can be provided with the same or similar features as discussed above relative to the body  20  of substrate holder  10 . That is, each of the openings  112  can be provided with an inner ring, multiple tensioning devices (which are generally shown with reference numeral  120 , since the only part of the tensioning device visible in this figure is the top surface of a cam body), and an optional backing ring, along with other machined or molded features, such as flat portions and notches. 
         [0042]      FIG. 15  illustrates another exemplary embodiment of a multiple substrate holder  200 , which also includes many of the same features described above relative to substrate holders  10  and  100 . In this embodiment, holder  200  includes four openings  212  that extend at least partially through a platen  210 ; however, the openings  212  may be covered with a material, such as a heat-resistant material, on one side of the platen  210  (shown as the bottom side in this figure). This backing material allows for different processing than the substrate holders of the invention that include a hole extending through the entire substrate holder  10 . In particular, a substrate can be oriented so that its backside is loaded into the holder  200  from its backside, and then the backside will be treated, since the opposite or “front” side will be covered with the material that covers the openings  212 . In this orientation, all of the substrate or wafer can be coated, thereby maximizing the usable material available from each substrate. A platen that only allows for one exposed side of substrates, such as is provided with the holder  200 , can be used in a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition process (MOCVD), for example, in which thin layers of atoms are deposited onto a semiconductor substrate or wafer. Each of the openings  212  can be provided with the same or similar features as discussed above relative to the body  20  of substrate holder  10 . That is, each of the openings  212  can be provided with an inner ring, multiple tensioning devices (which are generally shown with reference numeral  220 , since the only part of the tensioning device visible in this figure is the top surface of a cam body), and an optional backing ring, along with other machined or molded features, such as flat portions and notches. 
         [0043]      FIG. 16  illustrates a portion of a substrate holder  100  that is similar to substrate holder  10  described above, but this exemplary embodiment does not have a substrate holder lip to support the substrate when it is inserted into the holder  100 . Instead, this substrate holder  100  includes a spring  90  that can be used both to support a substrate relative to the height of the holder  100  and also to provide tension to hold the substrate centered relative to a central opening of the holder. In other words, if the substrate holder  100  is positioned on a horizontal surface during loading thereof, the spring  90  can be said to provide both horizontal and vertical support to an inserted substrate. In order to accomplish this, the exemplary embodiment of spring  90  includes an elongated portion  92 , a contact portion  94  extending at an angle from the ends of elongated portion  92 , and a support portion  96  extending from the distal end of each of the contact portions  94 . In this embodiment, each of the contact portions  94  extends at an approximate 90-degree angle from the ends of the elongated portion  92 , and each of the support portions  96  extends at an approximate 90-degree angle from a distal end of a contact portion  94 . The angles at which the contact portion  94  and support portion  96  extend from their respective adjacent portions can vary widely, but are generally configured so that each contact portion can press against an edge of a substrate to provide tension on the substrate and so that each support portion can provide support to the bottom of the substrate so that it does not fall through the central opening of the substrate holder. It is understood that the contact portions  94  and support portions  96  can extend at different angles than shown and/or the contact portions  94  and support portions  96  may be otherwise configured (e.g., curved in one or more directions, or provided with an outer coating material).
