Abstract

A susceptor assembly, which is situated in a reactor housing, has at least one wide side plane that faces a process chamber, at least one pocket, and a carrying element that lies in the at least one pocket, for carrying and handling a substrate. An upper face of the carrying element is adjacent to a limiting face of a recess in which the substrate is arranged. A section of the limiting face which runs along a cylinder inner lateral face merges into the upper face of the carrying element, forming a rounded edge or chamfer. To reduce the growth of parasitic deposits on an inner edge of the carrying element, the section of the limiting face which runs along the cylinder inner lateral face has a height which is greater than the material thickness of the substrate, and the radius of the rounded edge is greater than 0.4 mm.
