Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for processing a substrate, comprising: a process chamber having a substrate support; a heating system to provide heat energy to the substrate support; a gas inlet port disposed to a first side of the substrate support to provide at least one of a first process gas or a second process gas across a processing surface of the substrate; a first gas distribution conduit disposed above the substrate support and having one or more first outlets disposed along a length of the first gas distribution conduit to provide a third process gas to the processing surface of the substrate, wherein the one or more first outlets are substantially linearly arranged, and wherein the first gas distribution conduit extends into the process chamber from a side wall of the process chamber and cantilevered over the processing surface of the substrate; a spacer ring disposed above the substrate support and having a first opening formed in a side wall of the spacer ring, wherein the first gas distribution conduit extends through the first opening and into the process chamber; an exhaust manifold disposed to a second side of the substrate support opposite the gas inlet port to exhaust the process gases from the process chamber; and a controller coupled to the process chamber, wherein the controller is configured to control a flow of the first and second process gases through the gas inlet port and a flow of the third process gas through the first gas distribution conduit.
