Abstract

Methods and apparatus for processing a substrate are provided herein. For example, an apparatus for processing a substrate comprises a top delivery gas nozzle configured to direct process gas toward a substrate support surface of a substrate support and a side delivery gas nozzle configured to direct the process gas toward a side surface of the substrate support, a first gas line connected to the top delivery gas nozzle, a second gas line connected to the side delivery gas nozzle, and a plurality of valves connected to the first gas line and the second gas line for providing process gas to the processing volume of the processing chamber, and a first orifice flow restrictor or a first needle valve connected to the first gas line or a second orifice flow restrictor or a second needle valve connected to the second gas line.
