Abstract

A traveling-wave resonator and applicators for heating low resistivity silicon ribbons and wafers have been studied. The performance of the microwave circuit agrees with the theoretical predictions. An applicator for 150 mm (six-inch) diameter wafers is described. Theoretical estimates of temperature distributions and some measured temperature distributions are included.
