[0045] The heating plate base 1 comprises a heating plate portion 12 and a bottom central support portion 11 connected to the heating plate portion 12. The support portion 11 defines a longitudinally extending through cavity 111, through which the external process gas pipe and the two electrical connection ends of the heating wire 2 are led. The heating plate portion 12 is a circular plate, and the support portion 11 is a cylindrical structure.

[0046] The orifice plate 5 includes a disc body 51, a spray cavity 52 is recessed at the bottom of the disc body 51, and uniform spray holes 521 are provided on the disc surface of the disc body 51.
