Abstract

In an MOCVD reactor, gases are channeled around the periphery of a baffle plate (15) so as to flow radially inwardly along a slotted injection plate (16). The slots (22) in the injection plate extend radially and are of non-uniform width so as to compensate for a non-uniform rate of deposition. The resultant flow over a rotating heated substrate (17) gives a more uniform deposit of epitaxially grown material.
