Abstract

A method and apparatus for the use of individual vertically stacked ALD or CVD reactors. Individual reactors are independently operable and maintainable. The gas inlet and output are vertically configured with respect to the reactor chamber for generally axi-symmetric process control. The chamber design is modular in which cover and base plates forming the reactor have improved flow design.
