Patent ID: 6988886

Claim:
A thermal treatment system for semiconductors, comprising: an outer tube, comprising silicon carbide, and which has an upper portion closed and a lower portion opened, and has a flange formed on an outer peripheral side of the lower portion; a base, which supports the lower portion of the outer tube and provides a hermetic seal between the lower portion of the outer tube and the base; a lid, which is provided so as to selectively open and close an opening formed in a central portion of the base; and a reactor wall, which surrounds an outer peripheral wall and an upper wall of the outer tube and has a heater provided on an inner side; wherein an annular sealing member and an annular supporting member are interposed between the outer tube and the base so that the supporting member is located around an outer peripheral side of the sealing member, and wherein the supporting member has an effective heat transfer coefficient of 50 to 2,000 W/(m 2 ·K), and the supporting member comprises plural members layered in a height direction or a peripheral direction.
