Deposition temperature uniformity of GaN based MQW(multiple quantum well) layers is an important key which affects the wavelength uniformity of white LEDs. Two types of heater were tested: a resistive and inductive heater. Varying the gap between the heater and the susceptor, temperature uniformity was assessed by infra-red images for both cases of a static and a rotating susceptor. The best non-uniformity of resistive heater was obtained at 3 mm gap, 6.2%. Rotating the susceptor at 2.5 rpm over the induction heater gave 4.3% of temperature non-uniformity. Temperature distribution of the graphite susceptor over the induction heater was numerically modelled and agreed with experimental results.
