A gas distributor for use in a semiconductor processing chamber is provided. The gas distributor comprises a gas inlet, a gas outlet, and a stem section having a spiral thread. The gas distributor further comprises a body having a gas deflecting surface that extends radially outward away from the stem section and a lower face disposed on the opposite side of the body from the gas deflecting surface, a lateral seat disposed between the spiral thread and the gas deflecting surface, and a gas passageway that extends from the gas inlet through the stem section and body to the gas outlet. In a specific embodiment, the lateral seat is adapted to hold a sealing member.

A substrate processing system is provided with a housing defining a process chamber. A substrate holder is disposed within the process chamber and configured to support a substrate during substrate processing. A gas delivery system is configured to introduce a gas into the process chamber. A pressure-control system is provided for maintaining a selected pressure within the process chamber. A high-density-plasma generating system is operatively coupled with the process chamber and includes a coil for inductively coupling energy into a plasma formed within the process chamber. It also includes magneto-dielectric material proximate the coil for concentrating a magnetic field generated by the coil. A controller is also provided for controlling the gas-delivery system, the pressure-control system, and the high-density-plasma generating system.
