Abstract

A CVD reactor with a flat generally rectangularly shaped susceptor having a leading edge including a curve which is concave in the direction of gas flow through the reactor. The reactor produces epitaxial layers on semiconductor wafers in which the uniformity of the layer is dependent upon the radius of the concave curvature.
