Abstract

See full text

A bottom purge manifold for the gas purge channel of a CVD semiconductor processing chamber provides an obstruction in the purge gas flow from a purge gas passage to the central portion of the processing chamber. The gas flow is restricted by a ring having generally equally spaced holes therethrough obstructing the purge channel opening and retained in the channel by spring loaded retaining flanges. A set of fan-shaped slots carry the purge gas from the openings and direct it towards the center portion of the processing chamber. This manifold produces a generally uniform flow from the gas purge manifold to improve the uniformity of vapor deposition on the wafer's surface.
