Abstract:
A apparatus includes a susceptor and a non-reactive gas source. The susceptor has through holes and a wafer support surface. Each through hole includes a lift pin and a lift pin head. The lift pin has a vertical degree of motion in the through hole to lift up or place a wafer on the susceptor. The lift pin head has at least one flow channel structure running from its first surface at least partially exposed to a bottom side of the susceptor through its second surface exposed to a top side of the susceptor wherein the lift pin. The non-reactive gas source is configured to flow a gas to a backside of the wafer through the flow channel structure through the bottom side of the susceptor.

Claim (Index 12):
A system, comprising:\n at least one apparatus, each of the least one apparatus comprising:\n a holder having a plurality of through holes and a wafer support surface, wherein each of the through holes is a step through hole, and each of the plurality of through holes includes:\n a lift pin having a vertical degree of motion; and \n a lift pin head on the lift pin having at least one flow channel structure running from a first surface at least partially exposed to a bottom side of the holder through a second surface exposed to a top side of the holder, wherein the lift pin is operable to lift up or place a wafer on the holder; and \n \n a non-reactive gas source configured to flow a gas to the bottom side of the holder.
