MULTI-CHANNEL GAS-DELIVERY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A gas-delivery system for delivering reaction gas into a reactor chamber, comprising:
- a main gas-inlet port for receiving reaction gases;
a gas-delivery plate comprising a plurality of gas channels, wherein a gas channel includes a plurality of gas holes for allowing the reaction gases to enter the reactor chamber from the gas channel; and
a plurality of sub-gas lines coupling together the main gas-inlet port and the gas-delivery plate, wherein a respective sub-gas line is configured to deliver a portion of the received reaction gases to a corresponding gas channel.

9. A reactor for material deposition, comprising:
-
a chamber comprising a pair of susceptors situated inside the chamber, wherein each susceptor has a front side and a back side, wherein the front side mounts a number of substrates, wherein the susceptors are positioned vertically in such a way that the front sides of the susceptors face each other, and wherein the vertical edges of the susceptors are in contact with each other, thereby forming a substantially enclosed narrow channel between the substrates mounted on different susceptors; a gas nozzle situated above the chamber; and a gas-delivery system situated above the gas nozzle, wherein the gas-delivery system is configured to deliver reaction gases to the chamber via the gas nozzle, and wherein the gas-delivery system comprises; a main gas-inlet port for receiving the reaction gases; a gas-delivery plate comprising a plurality of gas channels, wherein a gas channel includes a plurality of gas holes for allowing the reaction gases to enter the chamber from the gas channel; and a plurality of sub-gas lines coupling together the main gas-inlet port and the gas-delivery plate, wherein a respective sub-gas line is configured to deliver a portion of the received reaction gases to a corresponding gas channel. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
