1. A substrate-supporting device for CVD comprising:
- a substrate-supporting region for supporting a substrate within the region, said substrate-supporting region having an outer diameter larger than that of the substrate and consisting of a high elevation region and a low elevation region, whereinthe high elevation region consists of a single continuous substrate-supporting surface defined on a reference plane on which the substrate is placed, said high elevation region extending from outer perimeters of the low elevation region to the outer diameter of the substrate-supporting region; and
the low elevation region consists of geometrically patterned multiple dimples having bottom surfaces lower than the reference plane, the respective dimples being isolated from each other by a portion of the substrate-supporting surface as viewed from above the substrate-supporting surface, all of the dimples having closed bottoms.

Abstract
A substrate-supporting device for CVD having a substrate-supporting region includes: a substrate-supporting surface which is a continuous surface defining a reference plane on which a substrate is placed; and multiple dimples having bottom surfaces lower than the reference plane. The respective dimples are isolated from each other by a portion of the substrate-supporting surface.
