  • Patent number: 6475563
    Abstract: A method for forming a thin film on a substrate using a gas includes providing a substrate in a reaction chamber. A head for emitting a gas in the reaction chamber is disposed opposite the substrate. This step includes mounting a detachable gas liberating surface to the head so that the distance between the head and the substrate surface is 10 mm or less. Gas is then emitted from the head into the reaction chamber.
