摘要:
Provided are gas distribution plates (showerheads) for use in an apparatus configured to form a film during, for example, an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. The gas distribution plate comprises a body defining a thickness and a peripheral edge and has a front surface for facing the substrate. The front surface has a central region with a plurality of openings configured to distribute process gases over the substrate and a focus ring with a sloped region. The focus ring is concentric to the central region such that the thickness at the focus ring is greater than the thickness at the central region.
