摘要： A gas deposition system (1000) configured as a dual-chamber “tower” includes a frame (1140) for supporting two reaction chamber assemblies (3000), one vertically above the other. Each chamber assembly (3000) includes an outer wall assembly surrounding a hollow chamber (3070) sized to receive a single generation 4.5 (GEN 4.5) glass plate substrate through a load port. The substrate is disposed horizontally inside the hollow chamber (3070) and the chamber assembly (3000) includes removable and cleanable triangular shaped input (3150) and output (3250) plenums disposed external to the hollow chamber (3070) and configured to produce substantially horizontally directed laminar gas flow over a top surface of the substrate. Each chamber includes a cleanable and removable chamber liner assembly (6000) disposed inside the hollow chamber (3070) to contain precursor gases therein thereby preventing contamination of chamber outer walls (3010, 3020, 3030, 3040).

摘要： An improved precursor vaporization device and method for vaporizing liquid and solid precursors having a low vapor pressure at a desired precursor temperature includes elements and operating methods for injecting an inert gas boost pulse into a precursor container prior to releasing a precursor pulse to a reaction chamber. An improved ALD system and method for growing thin films having more thickness and thickness uniformity at lower precursor temperatures includes devices and operating methods for injecting an inert gas boost pulse into a precursor container prior to releasing a precursor pulse to a reaction chamber and for releasing a plurality of first precursor pulses into a reaction chamber to react with substrates before releasing a different second precursor pulse into the reaction chamber to react with the substrates.

摘要： An ALD coating system (100) includes a fixed gas manifold (710, 1300) disposed over a moving substrate with a coating surface of the substrate facing precursor orifice plate (930). A gas control system (1400) delivers gas or vapor precursors and inert gas into the fixed gas manifold which directs input gases onto a coating surface of the moving substrate. The gas control system includes a blower (1485) interfaced with the gas manifold which draws gas through the gas manifold to remove unused precursors, inert gas and reaction byproduct from the coating surface. The gas manifold is configured segregate precursor gases at the coating surface to prevent the mixing of dissimilar precursors. The gas manifold may also segregate unused precursor gases in the exhaust system so that the unused precursors can be recovered and reused.
