Abstract:
A support ring for supporting a semiconductor wafer in a boat of a vertical furnace used in processing of the semiconductor wafer includes a semicircular segment. The semicircular segment has an upper surface, a lower surface opposite the upper surface, a radial inner wall defining an inner radius, and a radial outer wall defining an outer radius. The support ring further includes protrusions in the upper surface of the semicircular segment. The protrusions extend above the upper surface.

Claim (Index 13):
A support ring for supporting a semiconductor wafer in a boat of a vertical furnace used in processing of the semiconductor wafer, the support ring comprising:\n a semicircular segment having an upper surface, a lower surface opposite the upper surface, a radial inner wall, and a radial outer wall; and a plateau on the upper surface of the semicircular segment and extending above the upper surface, the upper surface extending from the plateau to the radial outer wall and being free of any plateaus between the plateau and the radial outer wall.
