The characteristic thickness valleys formed in a trichlorosilane hydrogen system using a horizontal cold wall single-wafer epitaxial reactor at atmospheric pressure are concluded to have a quantitative relationship with the local decrease in the transport rate of trichlorosilane induced by the increase in the velocity, the increase in the temperature and the decrease in the trichlorosilane concentration in the gas phase, which are induced by the gas inlet design.
