Abstract:
1. An apparatus for the treatment of substrates comprising: a process chamber capable of holding a plurality of substrates; wherein the process chamber is substantially cylindrical in shape having a longitudinal axis; wherein the process chamber comprises one or more injector manifolds contained therein, the one or more injector manifolds having longitudinal axes substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the process chamber; wherein the process chamber comprises one or more exhaust manifolds contained therein, the one or more exhaust manifolds having longitudinal axes substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the process chamber; wherein the process chamber comprises one or more sheaths for holding thermocouples contained therein, the one or more sheaths for holding thermocouples having longitudinal axes substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the process chamber; wherein the process chamber is substantially closed at a first end of the cylindrical shape and open at a second end of the cylindrical shape, the first end opposite the second end along the longitudinal axis of the process chamber; wherein the first closed end has penetrations through the first closed end wall for the one or more injector manifolds, the one or more exhaust manifolds, and the one or more sheaths for holding thermocouples; wherein the process chamber includes a door mechanism to close the open second end of the process chamber; wherein the one or more injector manifolds comprise holes distributed along their length and the one or more exhaust manifolds comprise holes distributed along their length; and wherein there are at least two injector manifolds and the holes in a first injector manifold are oriented at an angle between 30 and 60 degrees and the holes in a second injector manifold are oriented at an angle between 120 and 150 degrees, where a 0 degree angle is the angle parallel to the tangent line drawn through the point where the manifold touches the process chamber and the angles increase in a clockwise manner and the 90 degree angle points toward the longitudinal axis of the process chamber.
