Abstract

An integral graphite susceptor of the type comprising a hollow polyhedron, adapted to support a semiconductor substrate on an outer planar surface of a wall thereof, has a recessed cavity adjacent the inner surface of the wall and shaped so that the floor of the cavity is parallel to the outer planar surface. The cavity may comprise an oblong-shaped slot machined into the wall of the susceptor, which is typically a hollow truncated pyramid.
