Abstract

See full text

Susceptors are provided that employ layers of CTE-matching materials to reduce the stresses that otherwise lead to cracking and failure. Exemplary CTE-matching materials include metal alloys of aluminum and silicon that can be tailored to specific CTE values by adjusting the ratio of the elements. An exemplary susceptor comprises a CTE-matching material that accommodates the differences in the CTEs of a ceramic material and a thermal barrier layer disposed on opposite sides of the CTE-matching material. Methods are also provided for forming susceptors. These methods comprise assembling the components and bonding the assembly together, such as by diffusion bonding, to produce a susceptor that is a monolithic body.
