  • Publication number: 20230343559
    Abstract: Some implementations described herein provide techniques and apparatuses for overcoming forces that may deflect an injector nozzle into an interior wall of a thin-film furnace. The implementations include a fixture that is coupled to the injector nozzle. The fixture is configurable to lock to a selected property of the injector nozzle to maintain, between a portion of the injector nozzle and the interior wall, a gap. In this way, the portion of the injector nozzle is prevented from colliding with the interior wall and dislodging particulates that may contaminate semiconductor product fabricated using the thin-film furnace.
