Abstract
A heater for a chemical vapor deposition equipment includes a meandering heating wire made of either molybdenum or tungsten and having a diameter of about 1 mm. The heating wire is laid on a heater disc that is made of either molybdenum, tungsten or ceramic. The heater disc is holed at its center for receiving a susceptor rotating shaft. A plurality of heating wire fixtures support the heating wire on the heater disc while spacing the heating wire from the heater disc at an interval, thus to prevent the heating wire from directly contacting the heater disc. Each of the heating wire fixtures is provided with a pair of lateral through holes, that is, a heating wire hole formed in an upper section of each fixture and a fixing wire hole formed in a lower section of each fixture. The heater also includes heat resisting plates that are made of either molybdenum or tungsten and placed on the bottom surface and the side surface of the heater disc for preventing side and downward radiation of the heat of the heating wire. The heater heats a substrate to a high temperature not less than 1500.degree. C. and achieves an excellent heating efficiency.
