Embodiments of a lid heater for a deposition chamber are provided herein. In some embodiments, a lid heater for a deposition chamber includes a ceramic heater body having a first side opposite a second side, wherein the ceramic heater body includes a first plurality of gas channels extending from one or more first gas inlets on the first side, wherein each of the one or more first gas inlets extend to a plurality of first gas outlets on the second side; a heating element embedded in the ceramic heater body; and an RF electrode embedded in the ceramic heater body proximate the second side, wherein the first plurality of gas channels extend through the RF electrode.

Gas distribution ceramic heater for deposition chamber

Embodiments of showerheads are provided herein. In some embodiments, a showerhead for use in a process chamber includes a gas distribution plate having an upper surface and a lower surface; a plurality of channels extending through the gas distribution plate substantially perpendicular to the lower surface; a plurality of first gas delivery holes extending from the upper surface to the lower surface between adjacent channels of the plurality of channels to deliver a first process gas through the gas distribution plate; and a plurality of second gas delivery holes extending from the plurality of channels to the lower surface to deliver a second process gas therethrough without mixing with the first process gas.

High temperature dual chamber showerhead

Embodiments of lift pin assemblies are provided herein. In some embodiments, a lift pin assembly includes an elongate base formed of a first material and having a first feature formed in a distal end of the base to interface with and removably support a tip; and a tip formed of a second material different than the first material and having a support surface on a first side of the tip and an opposing second side of the tip, wherein the opposing second side includes a second feature to mate with the first feature of the base to removably retain the tip on the distal end of the base.

Lift pin assembly

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a quick disconnect resistance temperature detector (RTD) heater assembly, that includes a first assembly comprising a pedestal, a pedestal shaft, an adapter, one or more heater power supply terminals, and at least one RTD, and a second assembly comprising a rotating module having a central opening, and a cable assembly partially disposed in the central opening and securely fastened to the rotating module, wherein the first assembly is removably coupled to the second assembly, wherein the cable assembly includes one or more power supply sockets that receive the heater power supply terminals when the first and second assemblies are coupled together, and wherein the cable assembly includes one or more spring loaded RTD pins that contact the at least one RTD disposed in the first assembly when the first and second assemblies are coupled together.
