The invention includes deposition methods and apparatuses which can be utilized during atomic layer deposition or chemical vapor deposition. A heated surface is provided between a stack of semiconductor substrates and a precursor inlet, and configured so that problematic side reactions occur proximate the heated surface rather than proximate the semiconductor substrates. The precursor inlet can be one of a plurality of precursor inlets, and the heated surface can be one of a plurality of heated surfaces.
