ABSTRACT:
A method for precursor delivery includes transferring a precursor vapor from a precursor vaporization system to an intermediate precursor chamber, collecting the precursor vapor in the intermediate precursor chamber, flowing a process gas containing the collected precursor vapor to a process chamber, and exposing a substrate in the process chamber to the process gas to deposit a layer including at least one element from the precursor vapor on the substrate.
