A gas injector for processing a substrate includes a body having an inlet connectable to a gas source that is configured to provide a gas flow in a first direction into the inlet when processing a substrate on a substrate support disposed within a processing volume of a processing chamber, and an a gas injection channel formed in the body. The gas injection channel is in fluid communication with the inlet and configured to deliver the gas flow to an inlet of the processing chamber. The gas injection channel has a first interior surface and a second interior surface that are parallel to a second direction and a third direction. The second and third directions are misaligned with a center of the substrate, and are at an angle to the first direction towards a first edge of the substrate support.

A device for depositing at least one radical chalcogenide thin film on an element to be treated including an intake area and a diffusion area receiving the element to be treated, the intake area and the diffusion area extending along a longitudinal axis, a radical hydrogen source connected to the intake area, pumping means, means for injecting a reagent reacting with the radical hydrogen to form H.sub.2S, and means for supplying a precursor to the diffusion area. The injection means inject the reagent into a central area of the intake area in the longitudinal direction within the radical hydrogen flow. The pumping means are controlled so as to operate during the reagent injection, and generate a flow of H.sub.2S along the element to be treated in order to activate said element so as to absorb the precursor.

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a processing chamber for conformal oxidation of high aspect ratio structures. The processing chamber includes a chamber body with a first side and a second side opposite the first side, and a flow assembly disposed in the first side. The flow assembly includes a flow divider to direct fluid flow away from a center of a substrate disposed in a processing region of the processing chamber. The flow divider includes a crescent shaped first side, a top, and a bottom. The processing chamber also includes a distributed pumping structure located adjacent to the second side. The flow assembly is designed to reduce flow constriction of the radicals, leading to increased radical concentration and flux.

A chamber lid assembly includes: a central channel having an upper portion and a lower portion and extending along a central axis; a housing at least partially defining a first and a second annular channel, each fluidly coupled to the central channel; a first plurality of apertures disposed along a horizontal plane through the housing to provide a multi-aperture inlet between the first annular channel and the central channel; a second plurality of apertures disposed along a horizontal plane through the housing to provide a multi-aperture inlet between the second annular channel and the central channel, wherein the first and the second plurality of apertures are angled differently with respect to the central axis so as to induce opposing rotational flow of gases about the central axis; and a tapered bottom surface extending from the lower portion of the central channel to a peripheral portion of the chamber lid assembly.

A reactor system including a gas distribution assembly and method of using the reactor system are disclosed. The gas distribution assembly includes a gas distribution device, a gas expansion area, and a showerhead plate downstream of the gas distribution device and the expansion area.

Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a gas distribution assembly for providing improved uniform distribution of processing gases into a semiconductor processing chamber. The gas distribution assembly includes a gas distribution plate, a blocker plate, and a dual zone showerhead. The gas distribution assembly provides for independent center to edge flow zonality, independent two precursor delivery, two precursor mixing via a mixing manifold, and recursive mass flow distribution in the gas distribution plate.

Embodiments described herein generally relate to a processing chamber having one or more gas inlet ports located at a bottom of the processing chamber. Gas flowing into the processing chamber via the one or more gas inlet ports is directed along a lower side wall of the processing chamber by a plate located over each of the one or more gas inlet ports or by an angled opening of each of the one or more gas inlet ports. The one or more gas inlet ports and the plates may be located at one end of the processing chamber, and the gas flow is directed towards an exhaust port located at the opposite end of the processing chamber by the plates or the angled openings. Thus, more gas can be flowed into the processing chamber without dislodging particles from a lid of the processing chamber.

A film forming apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a film forming chamber configured to house therein a substrate to perform film forming processing; a gas supplier located in an upper part of the film forming chamber and configured to supply a process gas onto the substrate; and a heater configured to heat the substrate, wherein the film forming chamber has a temperature-increase suppression region being a lower part of the gas supplier and suppressing a temperature increase of the gas supplied to an upper part of the heater.
