Abstract
A material deposition system for depositing a material on a surface of a substrate includes a deposition head having an output face configured to simultaneously supply a plurality of gaseous materials in a sequence of gas zones. The gas zones include a deposition zone located between first and second inert zones. The deposition zone includes a first reactant zone adjacent to the first inert zone, a last reactant zone adjacent to the second inert zone, and one or more purge gas zones. A motion actuator moves a substrate over the output face with a repeating motion profile that prevents a region of active deposition on the substrate from being exposed to the external environment prior to having achieved a final material deposition amount. The repeating motion profile include a forward motion portion and a backward motion portion which is less than the forward distance by an ooch distance.
