This page describes why the showerhead has been changed and what process changes have been found.
== Motivation ==


The showerhead that distributes the process gasses inside the plasma source was changed. In the old design, the showerhead had a number of 300 µm diameter holes intended to distribute the gas uniformly inside the plasma source. The passage through the holes had a flow resistance that would cause the gasses coming from the MFC in a Bosch process to get mixed up - in this way working against the separation of the etch and dep cycles.
