description Embodiments of the present disclosure generally provide an apparatus and methods for processing a substrate. More particularly, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a processing chamber having an enhanced processing efficiency at an edge of a substrate disposed in the processing chamber. In one embodiment, a processing chamber comprises a chamber body defining an interior processing region in a processing chamber, a showerhead assembly disposed in the processing chamber, wherein the showerhead assembly has multiple zones with an aperture density higher at an edge zone than at a center zone of the showerhead assembly, a substrate support assembly disposed in the interior processing region of the processing chamber, and a focus ring disposed on an edge of the substrate support assembly and circumscribing the substrate support assembly, wherein the focus ring has a step having a sidewall height substantially similar to a bottom width.
