    摘要: A dispersion plate for evenly flowing at low pressure into a processing chamber vaporized material, such as a tungsten compound for deposition of metal layers onto a semiconductor, has a disc-like body with a center axis, an input face and an output face. The dispersion plate has a cup-like entrance along the center axis in its input face for receiving a stream of vaporized material and a plurality of passages for flow of vapor with each passage having a length and a diameter and extending radially from the entrance like the spokes of a wheel at inclined angles relative to the center axis from the input face to the output face. Two annular grooves are cut into the output face and intersect with the respective ends of the passages. The plate has a center hole with a flared diameter extending along the center axis from the entrance in the input face to the output face. The hole and plurality of passages are designed to have sufficiently large diameters so as to keep pressure drops low with respect to vapor flowing through the plate.

    摘要: A vaporizer head for evenly flowing at low pressure into a processing chamber vaporized precursor compounds for deposition of metal and other layers onto a semiconductor, has a bulb-like body with a center axis, a lengthwise cavity, an input end and an output end. The cavity has an opening for receiving a stream of vaporized precursor compound. There are a plurality of passages for flow of vapor through the head, each passage having a length and a diameter. They extend radially from along and around the cavity like the spokes of a wheel at inclined angles relative to the center axis from the cavity to a tapered output surface of the head. The cavity has a well-like bottom for capturing any droplets or particles of precursor compound and preventing them from leaving the head except as vapor. The plurality of passages have sufficiently large diameters such that there is only a low pressure drop in the vapor flowing through the head.
