A precursor source vessel (100) comprises a vessel body (104), a passage (145) within the vessel body (104), and a valve (108, 110, 210) attached to a surface of the body (104). An internal chamber (111) is adapted to contain a chemical reactant, and the passage (145) extends from outside the body (104) to the chamber (111). The valve (108, 110, 210) regulates flow through the passage (145). The vessel (100) has inlet and outlet valves (108, 110), and optionally a vent valve (210) for venting internal gas. An external gas panel (97) can include at least one valve (182) fluidly interposed between the outlet valve (110) and a substrate reaction chamber (162). Gas panel valves (182) can each be positioned along a plane that is generally parallel to, and no more than about 10.0 cm from, a flat surface of the vessel (100). Filters (130) in a vessel Hd (106) or wall filter gas flow through the vessel's valves (108, 110, 210). A quick-connection assembly (102) allows fast and easy connection of the vessel (100) to a gas panel (97). |
