Abstract: Processing chambers, substrate supports and thermal shields are described. A thermal shield comprises a disc-shaped body having a thickness, an outer diameter with a first edge and a second edge at opposite ends of a diameter of the disc-shaped body, a front surface and a back surface defining the thickness. The front surface has a first longitudinal region comprising the first edge and a second longitudinal region comprising the second edge. Coating one or more of the first longitudinal region or the second longitudinal region with an emissivity material (i.e., emissivity) reduces side to side temperature variation. In some embodiments, processing chambers having the thermal shield described herein consume less power than comparative processing chambers that do not include a thermal shield.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods to process one or more wafers are described. A processing chamber comprises a first processing station comprising a first gas injector having a first face, a first emissivity and a first temperature, a second processing station comprising a second gas injector having a second face, a second emissivity and a second temperature, and a substrate support assembly comprising a plurality of substantially coplanar support surfaces, the substrate support assembly configured to move the support surfaces between the first processing station and the second processing station. When a wafer is on the support surfaces, a temperature skew of less than about 0.5° C. is developed upon moving the wafer between the stations in about 0.5 seconds.

Abstract: Gas distribution assemblies and methods for providing a flow of gases to a process station are described. The gas distribution assemblies comprise a pumping liner with a showerhead and a gas funnel positioned therein. The pumping liner has an inner wall that slants at a first angle relative to a central axis of the gas distribution assembly so that the inner wall adjacent the bottom wall of the pumping liner is closer to the central axis than the inner wall adjacent the top wall. The gas funnel and pumping liner form a plenum between the outer wall of the gas funnel, a cavity in the bottom wall of the gas funnel and the inner wall of the pumping liner.
