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 18):
The vertical furnace of  claim 17 , wherein the pins are made of quartz and configured to support the semiconductor wafer such that the semiconductor wafer does not contact the upper surface.
