Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing high velocity gas flow showerheads for deposition chambers are described. The showerhead has a faceplate in contact with a backing plate that has a concave portion to provide a plenum between the backing plate and the faceplate. A plurality of thermal elements is within the concave portion of the backing plate and extends to contact the faceplate.

Abstract: Dual channel showerhead assemblies are described. In some embodiments, the dual channel showerhead assemblies, which include a showerhead upper plate and a showerhead lower plate, enable delivery of mutually incompatible precursors along separate channels that mix in the process zone above a wafer. The dual channel showerhead assemblies provide at least two separate gas paths. In some embodiments, the hole design and hole distribution are configured for minimal jetting effect and plenum volumes for fast purging. The dual channel showerhead assemblies described herein may have a reduced purge out time compared to single channel showerheads, spiral dual channel showerheads, and bonded dual channel showerheads.

Abstract: Methods, software systems and processes to develop surrogate model-based optimizers for controlling and optimizing flow and pressure of purges between a showerhead and a heater having a substrate support to control non-uniformity inherent in a processing chamber due to geometric configuration and process regimes. The flow optimizer process utilizes experimental data from optimal process space coverage models, generated simulation data and statistical machine learning tools (i.e. regression models and global optimizers) to predict optimal flow rates for any user-specified process regime.
