    Abstract: Multiple charge volumes (CVs) are used to supply a reactant and an inert gas at each processing chamber to perform atomic layer deposition (ALD) on substrates. A series of pulses of the reactant can be supplied at a high flow rate from two CVs during a dose step, which extends dose time. The inert gas can be supplied at an equal starting pressure from first and second CVs at first and second purge steps. A heated pulse valve manifold (PVM) minimizes temperature variations of process gases supplied from the PVM to respective processing chamber during ALD. The PVM preheats the process gases before the process gases enter the respective CVs in the PVM. The PVM includes additional supplemental heaters above and below the CVs to maintain the temperature of the process gases within the CVs. The PVM can be rapidly cooled before performing maintenance, which reduces downtime.
