Abstract

A method and apparatus for improved metal oxide chemical vapor deposition on a substrate surface where the application boundary layer is reduced and where the uniformity of the application boundary layer is greatly enhanced in a reactor. Primary and secondary sonic or other disturbance sources are introduced to the interior chamber or an oscillating chuck is incorporated to influence the boundary layer thickness and uniformity.
