Zusammenfassung: | Various embodiments include an apparatus to supply gases to a tool. In various examples, the apparatus includes a point-of-use (POU) valve manifold that includes a manifold body to couple to a chamber of the tool. The manifold body has multiple gas outlet ports. A purge-gas outlet port of the manifold body is directed substantially toward the outlet ports. For each of multiple gases to be input to the POU-valve manifold, the POU-valve manifold further includes: a first valve coupled to the manifold body and a divert valve coupled to the first valve. The first valve can be coupled to a gas supply and has a separate gas flow path internal to the manifold body and separate from remaining ones of the gas flow paths. The divert valve diverts the gas during a period when the precursor gas is not to be directed into the chamber by the first valve. Other examples are disclosed. |
