Abstract

A precursor source vessel for providing vaporized precursor to a reaction chamber is provided. The precursor source vessel includes a lid having a first port, a second port, and a third port. The precursor source vessel also includes a base removably attached to the lid. The base includes a recessed region formed therein. One of the first, second, and third ports is a burp port configured to relieve the head pressure within the source vessel after the source vessel is installed but prior to use of the source vessel in semiconductor processing.
