Implementations of the present disclosure provide an apparatus for improving gas distribution during thermal processing. One implementation of the present disclosure provides an apparatus for thermal processing a substrate. The apparatus includes a body, an angled gas source assembly, and a gas injection channel. The gas injection channel has a first half-angle and a second half-angle. The first half-angle is different from the second half-angle.
