Abstract

Nozzles for providing gas into a semiconductor wafer process chamber are disclosed. The nozzles may include a deflector structure that has a surface facing the nozzle outlet so as to redirect gas as it enters a chamber. The nozzles may also have a cooling system to remove heat provided to the deflector structure through the flow of plasma through the nozzle. The deflector structure may be used to distribute the plasma flowed therethrough in a more evenly distributed manner, thereby protecting hardware within the process chamber from potential hotspots. This has the further effect of redirecting gases more efficiently throughout the chamber.
