Abstract:
1. A solid organometallic compound-filled container comprising: a container having an interior separated by at least one partition in a vertical direction such that said interior of said container comprises at least two vertically extending compartments; a carrier gas inlet and a carrier gas outlet provided for said container for the supply of carrier gas to said container and the removal of carrier gas from said container; at least one carrier gas flow direction inverter arranged in said container such that when the carrier gas is introduced via said carrier gas inlet, the carrier gas flows downward through each of said vertically extending compartments before being discharged through said carrier gas outlet; and organometallic compound filled in each said compartment; wherein said carrier gas flow direction inverter comprises a communicating channel, a lower opening and an upper opening such that carrier gas introduced through said carrier gas inlet flows through each of said plurality of vertical compartments inside said filled container to said carrier gas outlet; said communicating channel is arranged such that carrier gas introduced through said carrier gas inlet is introduced through said lower opening and discharged through said upper opening of said communicating channel via an opening in each of said at least one partitions.
