    Abstract: Diffuser plates in vaporizers, and related systems and methods, are provided. A vaporizer comprises a vessel having an outlet. The vessel contains or is configured to contain a vaporizable precursor that, when vaporized, produces a precursor vapor. The vessel discharges or is configured to discharge the precursor vapor through the outlet. The vaporizer includes a diffuser located within the vessel, between the vaporizable precursor and the outlet. The diffuser has a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a plurality of holes extending from the first surface of the diffuser through to the second surface of the diffuser.

    Abstract: A precursor delivery system for determining material levels and related methods can include an ampoule and at least one tray disposed in the ampoule. The at least one tray may be configured to hold an amount of a precursor material. A load cell assembly is also included. The load cell assembly may include a load cell. The load cell assembly may be coupled to the at least one tray in a configuration sufficient for the at least one tray to exert a mechanical force upon the load cell. This mechanical force may be correlative to the amount of precursor material present on the at least one tray and thus may be used to determine material levels within the ampoule.

    Abstract: The invention is directed to a vaporizer or ampoule assembly with improved heat transfer between a vaporizer vessel body and at least one support tray located therein. In particular, there is provided a heat transfer enhancing member that is disposed between a vessel body and support tray. In one example of a heat transfer enhancing member or assembly there is included a heat conductive mesh or liner around totally or partially around the support tray that is wedged in between the support tray and the interior diameter or wall of the vessel body. In a related embodiment, the heat transfer enhancing member includes an expandable support tray sidewall to increase physical contact between the support tray and the vessel body interior wall.

    Abstract: Vaporizable material is supported within a vessel to promote contact of an introduced gas with the vaporizable material, and produce a product gas including vaporized material. A heating element supplies heat to a wall of the vessel to heat vaporizable material disposed therein. The vessel may comprise an ampoule having a removable top. Multiple containers defining multiple material support surfaces may be stacked disposed within a vessel in thermal communication with the vessel. A tube may be disposed within the vessel and coupled to a gas inlet. Filters, flow meters, and level sensors may be further provided. Product gas resulting from contact of introduced gas with vaporized material may be delivered to atomic layer deposition (ALD) or similar process equipment. At least a portion of source material including a solid may be dissolved in a solvent, followed by removal of solvent to yield source material (e.g., a metal complex) disposed within the vaporizer.

    Abstract: A system includes a vaporizer vessel. The vaporizer vessel includes an outlet fluidly connected to the vaporizer vessel. A heater is configured to heat the vaporizer vessel. A valve is configured to regulate a pressure of a vaporized material at the outlet. In response to the pressure at the outlet being outside a set pressure range, the heater is configured to increase or decrease heat to the vaporizer vessel.

    Abstract: A modular tray for an ampoule of a delivery system of solid precursor materials used in Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) processes, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) processes or both. The modular tray is configured with separate components which can enhance the ease of which the modular tray can be inserted into the ampoule, and the tray is configured to make improved contact with inner wall surfaces of the ampoule to provide improved heat transfer from the inner wall to the modular tray and ultimately to the solid precursor materials disposed on the modular tray.
