Abstract

A flow inlet element () for a chemical vapor deposition reactor () is formed from a plurality of elongated tubular elements () extending side-by-side with one another in a plane transverse to the upstream to downstream direction of the reactor. The tubular elements have inlets for ejecting gas in the downstream direction. A wafer carrier () rotates around an upstream to downstream axis. The gas distribution elements may provide a pattern of gas distribution which is asymmetrical with respect to a medial plane () extending through the axis.
