Methods of depositing an inorganic material on an extrusion die including positioning an extrusion die within a vapor deposition chamber, positioning an impedance disk over a face of the extrusion die, the impedance disk having a plurality of through holes and the face of the extrusion die having a plurality of slots defined by a plurality of extrusion die pins, and flowing one or more deposition gases through the plurality of through holes and into the plurality of slots to deposit inorganic particles on side walls of the plurality of pins. The total impedance to the flow of the deposition gases across the impedance disk and the extrusion die may be equal to a disk impedance of the impedance disk plus a die impedance of the extrusion die, and the disk impedance may be at least 40% of the total impedance to the flow of the deposition gases.

Embodiments described herein generally relate to a processing system and a method of delivering a reactant gas. The processing system includes a substrate support system, an injection cone, and an intake. The injection cone includes a linear rudder. The linear rudder is disposed such that the flow of reactant gas through the injection cone results in film growth on a specific portion of a substrate. The method includes flowing the gas through the injection cone and delivering the gas onto the substrate below. The localization of the reactant gas, allows for film growth on a specific portion of the substrate.

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.

The invention relates to methods for the chemical application of coatings by the decay of gaseous compounds, in particular to methods for injecting gases into a reaction chamber. The invention also relates to means for feeding gases into a reaction chamber, said means providing for the regulation of streams of reactive gases, and ensures the possibility of obtaining multi-layer epitaxial structures having set parameters and based on nitrides of group III metals while simultaneously increasing the productivity and cost-effectiveness of the process of the epitaxial growth thereof. Before being fed into a reactor, all of the gas streams are sent to a mixing chamber connected to the reactor, and are then fed into the reactor via a flux former under laminar flow conditions. The mixing chamber and the flux former are equipped with means for maintaining a set temperature. As a result of these solutions, a gaseous mixture with set parameters is fed into the reactor, and the formation of vortices is simultaneously prevented. The maximum allowable volume of the mixing chamber is chosen to take into account the process parameters and the required rarity of heterojunctions.

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 do not intersect a center of the substrate, and are at an angle to the first direction towards a first edge of the substrate support.

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.

Embodiments described herein relate to apparatus and methods for processing a substrate. In one embodiment, a cluster tool apparatus is provided having a transfer chamber and a pre-clean chamber, a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) deposition chamber, an atomic layer deposition (ALD) chamber, and a post-processing chamber disposed about the transfer chamber. A substrate may be processed by the cluster tool and transferred between the pre-clean chamber, the SAM deposition chamber, the ALD chamber, and the post-processing chamber. Transfer of the substrate between each of the chambers may be facilitated by the transfer chamber which houses a transfer robot.

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.

Gas distribution assemblies are described including an annular body, an upper plate, and a lower plate. The upper plate may define a first plurality of apertures, and the lower plate may define a second and third plurality of apertures. The upper and lower plates may be coupled with one another and the annular body such that the first and second apertures produce channels through the gas distribution assemblies, and a volume is defined between the upper and lower plates.
