ABSTRACT:
A gas delivery device useful in material deposition processes executed during semiconductor device fabrication in a reaction chamber, including the gas delivery device of the present invention and a method for carrying out a material deposition process, including introducing process gas into a reaction chamber using the gas delivery device of the present invention. In each embodiment, the gas delivery device of the present invention includes a plurality of active diffusers and a plurality of gas delivery nozzles, which extend into the reaction chamber. Before entering the reaction chamber through one of the plurality of gas delivery nozzles, process gas must first pass through one of the plurality active diffusers. Each of the active diffusers is centrally controllable such that the rate at which process gas flows through each active diffuser is exactly controlled at all times throughout a given deposition process.
