Apparatus for processing a substrate are provided herein. In some embodiments, a lid for a substrate processing chamber includes: a lid plate comprising an upper surface and a contoured bottom surface, the upper surface having a central opening and the contoured bottom surface having a first portion that extends downwardly and outwardly from the central opening to a peripheral portion of the lid plate and a second portion that extends radially outward along the peripheral portion of the lid plate; an upper flange extending radially outward from the lid plate; and one or more channels formed through the lid plate from the upper surface of the lid plate to the second portion of the contoured bottom surface.

Lids and lid assembly kits for atomic layer deposition chambers

A deposition system, and a method of operation thereof, includes: a cathode; a shroud below the cathode; a rotating shield below the cathode for exposing the cathode through the shroud and through a shield hole of the rotating shield; and a rotating pedestal for producing a material to form a carrier over the rotating pedestal, wherein the material having a non-uniformity constraint of less than 1% of a thickness of the material and the cathode having an angle between the cathode and the carrier.

Deposition system with multi-cathode and method of manufacture thereof

Thermal monitors comprising a substrate with at least one camera position on a bottom surface thereof, a wireless communication controller and a battery. The camera has a field of view sufficient to produce an image of at least a portion of a wafer support, the image representative of the temperature within the field of view. Methods of using the thermal monitors are also described.

Thermal profile monitoring wafer and methods of monitoring temperature

Methods and apparatus for processing a substrate are provided herein. In some embodiments, a substrate processing chamber includes: a chamber body; a chamber lid assembly having a housing enclosing a central channel that extends along a central axis and has an upper portion and a lower portion; a lid plate coupled to the housing and having a contoured bottom surface that extends downwardly and outwardly from a central opening coupled to the lower portion of the central channel to a peripheral portion of the lid plate; and a gas distribution plate disposed below the lid plate and having a plurality of apertures disposed through the gas distribution plate.
