Methods, apparatus, and systems for depositing materials with gaseous precursors are provided. In certain implementations, the methods involve providing a wafer substrate to a chamber of an apparatus. The apparatus includes a showerhead to deliver a gas to the chamber, a volume, and an isolation valve between the volume and the showerhead. A gas is delivered the volume when the isolation valve is closed, pressurizing the volume. The isolation valve is opened to allow the gas to flow to the showerhead when the gas is being delivered to the volume. A material is formed on the wafer substrate using the gas. In some implementations, releasing the pressurized gas from the volume reduces the duration of time to develop a spatially uniform gas flow across the showerhead.
