Abstract:
Process chamber lids having a pumping liner with a showerhead and gas funnel within an open central region are described. The showerhead is spaced a distance from the gas funnel to form a gap and the gas funnel has an opening to provide a flow of gas into the gap. The gas funnel includes a plurality of apertures extending from the front surface to a common region adjacent the back surface of the gas funnel. A purge ring is in contact with the back surface of the gas funnel and aligned so that a circular channel formed in the bottom surface of the purge ring body is positioned adjacent the common area of the apertures in the gas funnel.
