Abstract

In one aspect, a system for depositing a layer on a substrate is provided. The system includes a processing chamber, a gas injecting port, a gas distribution plate, and a plug. The gas injecting port is disposed upstream from the processing chamber. The gas distribution plate is disposed between the gas injecting port and the processing chamber, and includes an elongate planar body and an array of holes therein. The plug is sized to be received within one of the holes, and includes an orifice therethrough for permitting the passage of gas. The plug is capable of being removably secured to the gas distribution plate within one of the holes.
