Abstract

Methods are disclosed for adjusting the temperature of at least a portion of the surface of a reaction chamber during a film formation process to control film properties. More than one portion of the chamber surface may be temperature-modulated, and may be accomplished by actively keeping the temperature of a first wall of the reaction chamber above the temperature of a second wall during the film formation process.
