摘要
A new repeated spike oxidation (RSO) method used in a rapid thermal processing system was proposed in this work. Simulation results predict the temperature distribution on the wafer would be improved by this RSO method. We proposed that the improvement in wafer temperature uniformity is mainly caused by self-compensation in radiation heat absorption rate. Experimental data pointed out that the new method can produce more uniform oxide thickness than the conventional one under an intentionally created nonuniform heating environment.
