Patent ID: 6896600

Claim:
A fluid dispense manifold for use in a substrate processing system, comprising: an elongated body having at least a length, a bottom region, and a side region; a bore defined through the length of the elongated body, the bore having a first diameter; a plurality of holes defined along the length of the elongated body through the side region to the bore, each of the plurality of holes having a second diameter that is less than the first diameter of the bore, a topmost surface of each of the plurality of holes being substantially tangent to a topmost surface of the bore such that a bottommost surface of each of the plurality of holes is positioned above a bottommost surface of the bore; and a plurality of nozzles, each of the plurality of nozzles capable of being attached to each of the plurality of holes, each of the plurality of nozzles having a bend designed to direct a fluid flow capable of emanating from within the bore, out through the side region and toward the bottom region, the fluid flow capable of being directed onto a surface that is oriented beneath the bottom region, each of the plurality of nozzles being configured to direct the fluid flow downward in a form of substantially uniform drops.
