Abstract
Exemplary semiconductor processing chambers may include an inlet manifold defining a central aperture. The inlet manifold may also define a first channel and a second channel, and each of the channels may extend through the inlet manifold radially outward of the central aperture. The chambers may also include a gasbox characterized by a first surface facing the inlet manifold and a second surface opposite the first. The gasbox may define a central aperture aligned with the central aperture of the inlet manifold. The gasbox may define a first annular channel in the first surface extending about the central aperture of the gasbox and fluidly coupled with the first channel of the inlet manifold. The gasbox may define a second annular channel extending radially outward of the first and fluidly coupled with the second channel of the inlet manifold. The second annular channel may be fluidly isolated from the first.
