Embodiments as described herein provide an apparatus and a method for performing an atomic layer deposition process. In one embodiment, a deposition chamber assembly contains a substrate support having a substrate receiving surface, and a chamber lid containing a tapered passageway extending from a central portion of the chamber lid, and a bottom surface extending from the passageway to a peripheral portion of the chamber lid, the bottom surface shaped and sized to substantially cover the substrate receiving surface. The system also includes one or more valves coupled to the gradually expanding channel, and one or more gas sources coupled to each valve. In one example, the gas source is a gas box assembly which is attached to the deposition chamber by at least one disconnect fitting and contains an inlet tube directed away from the gas outlet.

In one embodiment, a method for depositing a material on a substrate during an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process is provided which includes positioning the substrate on a substrate support within a process chamber, flowing a carrier gas into an expanding channel to form a circular flow of the carrier gas, exposing the substrate to the circular flow, pulsing a first reactant gas into the circular flow, and depositing a material onto the substrate. The method further provides that the process chamber has a chamber lid containing a centrally positioned expanding channel, a tapered bottom surface extending from the expanding channel to a peripheral portion of the chamber lid, at least two gas inlets in fluid communication with the expanding channel, and at least two conduits positioned to provide a gas flow having a circular pattern within the expanded channel.

Embodiments of an apparatus for generating a chemical precursor used in a vapor deposition processing system are provide which include a canister having a sidewall, a top, and a bottom forming an interior volume which is in fluid communication with an inlet port and an outlet port. The canister contains a plurality of baffles that extend from the bottom to an upper portion of the interior volume and form an extended mean flow path between the inlet port and the outlet port. In one embodiment, the baffles are contained on a prefabricated insert positioned on the bottom of the canister. In one example, an inlet tube may extend from the inlet port into the interior region and be positioned substantially parallel to the baffles. An outlet end of the inlet tube may be adapted to direct a gas flow away from the outlet port, such as towards the sidewall or top of the canister.
