US Patent 11979965 Susceptors for induction heating with thermal uniformity

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a susceptor for chemical vapor deposition comprising a horizontal component with a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the top surface is configured to support one or more wafers; a vertical component extending from the bottom surface of the horizontal component along a longitudinal axis that is substantially perpendicular to the horizontal component; and a hollow region within the vertical component. Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a susceptor for chemical vapor deposition comprising a horizontal plate with a top surface configured to support one or more wafers, a vertical rod integrated with and perpendicular to the horizontal plate, and a hollow region within the vertical rod for promoting temperature uniformity across the top surface of the horizontal plate.
