Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to modular flow chamber kits, processing chambers, and related apparatus and methods applicable for semiconductor manufacturing. In one or more embodiments, a processing chamber includes a chamber body at least partially defining a processing volume. The chamber body includes a plurality of inject passages arranged in a plurality of flow levels, and one or more exhaust passages formed in the chamber body. The processing chamber includes one or more heat sources operable to heat the processing volume, a substrate support disposed in the processing volume, and a plate spaced from the substrate support. The substrate support and the plate are movable by at least one flow level of the plurality of flow levels to align the substrate support between one or more first inject passages of a first flow level and one or more second inject passages of a second flow level.
