Abstract

A vaporizer delivery system including a sublimatable solid precursor material applied to a wire substrate for vaporizing and achieving a continuous uninterrupted delivery of a vaporized precursor to a downstream semiconductor process chamber. The coated wire substrate is drawn past a heat source at a predetermined speed to rapidly heat and vaporize the sublimatable solid precursor.
