Abstract
A solution for manufacturing semiconductors is provided. An embodiment provides a chemical vapor deposition reactor, which includes a chemical vapor deposition chamber. A substrate holder located in the chemical vapor deposition chamber can be rotated about its own axis at a first angular speed, and a gas injection component located in the chemical vapor deposition chamber can be rotated about an axis of the gas injection component at a second angular speed. The angular speeds are independently selectable and can be configured to cause each point on a surface of a substrate wafer to travel in an epicyclical trajectory within a gas flow injected by the gas injection component. An angle between the substrate holder axis and the gas injection component axis and/or a distance between the substrate holder axis and the gas injection component axis can be controlled variables.
