    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for forming a germanium containing film on a patterned substrate are described. The patterned substrate is a silicon, or silicon containing material, and may have a mask material formed on a surface thereof. The germanium containing material is formed selectively on exposed silicon in the recesses of the substrate, and an overburden of at least 50% is formed on the substrate. The germanium containing layer is thermally treated using pulsed laser radiation, which melts a portion of the overburden, but does not melt the germanium containing material in the recesses. The germanium containing material in the recesses is typically annealed, at least in part, by the thermal treatment. The overburden is then removed.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for measuring the melt depth of a substrate during pulsed laser melting are provided. The apparatus can include a heat source, a substrate support with an opening formed therein, and an interferometer positioned to direct coherent radiation toward the toward the substrate support. The method can include positioning the substrate with a first surface in a thermal processing chamber, heating a portion of the first surface with a heat source, directing infrared spectrum radiation at a partially reflective mirror creating control radiation and interference radiation, directing the interference radiation to a melted surface and directing the control radiation to a control surface, and measuring the interference between the reflected radiation. The interference fringe pattern can be used to determine the precise melt depth during the melt process.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure generally relate to a support cylinder used in a thermal process chamber. In one embodiment, the support cylinder comprises a ring body having an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface, wherein the ring body comprises an opaque quartz glass material and wherein the ring body is coated with an optical transparent layer. The optical transparent layer has a coefficient of thermal expansion that is substantially matched or similar to the opaque quartz glass material to reduce thermal expansion mismatch that may cause thermal stress under high thermal loads. In one example, the opaque quartz glass material is synthetic black quartz and the optical transparent layer comprises a clear fused quartz material.
