Abstract

Vaporizers are described, suited for vaporizing a vaporizable solid source materials to form vapor for subsequent use, e.g., a deposition of metal from organometallic source material vapor on a substrate for manufacture of integrated circuitry, LEDs, photovoltaic panels, and the like. Methods are described of fabricating such vaporizers, including methods of reconfiguring up-flow vaporizers for down-flow operation to accommodate higher flow rate solid delivery of source material vapor in applications requiring same.
