Diffusers in vaporizers and related methods

Abstract

Diffuser plates in vaporizers, and related systems and methods, are provided. A vaporizer comprises a vessel having an outlet. The vessel contains or is configured to contain a vaporizable precursor that, when vaporized, produces a precursor vapor. The vessel discharges or is configured to discharge the precursor vapor through the outlet. The vaporizer includes a diffuser located within the vessel, between the vaporizable precursor and the outlet. The diffuser has a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a plurality of holes extending from the first surface of the diffuser through to the second surface of the diffuser.
