A solid precursor delivery assembly generally includes a container having upper and lower portions and chambers defined within the container, including an inlet chamber, an outlet chamber, and first and second precursor chambers. The first and second precursor chambers are configured for holding precursor material within the container. Sintered frits are fixedly coupled and sealed to an interior portion of the container, and define at least part of the chambers within the container. At least one of the sintered frits is configured for retaining precursor material thereon within the first precursor chamber, and at least one of the sintered frits is configured for retaining precursor material thereon within the second precursor chamber. An inlet is coupled to the container for delivering carrier gas into the container, and an outlet is coupled to the container for use in removing vaporized precursor material and carrier gas from the container.

The assembly of claim 15, wherein the three sintered frits are each configured to resist flow of carrier gas through the sintered frits until a desired pressure differential is established thereacross. 17. The assembly of claim 15, wherein the outlet includes a tube disposed generally outside the container and extending along at least part of a length of the container, the tube coupling the outlet to the lower portion of the container. 18. The assembly of claim 15, wherein the container is a metal container, and wherein each of the three sintered frits are welded to an interior portion of the metal container. 19. The assembly of claim 15, wherein each of the three sintered frits includes pore sizes of less than 25 microns. 20. A method of recovering vaporized precursor material with a carrier gas in a multi-chamber solid precursor delivery assembly, the method comprising: delivering carrier gas to a multi-chamber solid precursor delivery assembly;retaining carrier gas within headspace of a first precursor chamber of the multi-chamber solid precursor delivery assembly generally above precursor material disposed within the first precursor chamber until a pressure differential of about 0.5 percent to about 50 percent of the average pressure in the first precursor chamber exists across a first sintered frit of the multi-chamber solid precursor delivery assembly separating the first precursor chamber from a second precursor chamber, at which time the carrier gas and vaporized precursor material recovered by the carrier gas flows through the first sintered frit to the second precursor chamber;retaining the carrier gas within headspace of the second precursor chamber of the multi-chamber solid precursor delivery assembly generally above precursor material disposed within the second precursor chamber until a pressure differential of about 0.5 percent to about 50 percent of the average pressure in the second precursor chamber exists across a second sintered frit of the multi-chamber solid precursor delivery assembly separating the second precursor chamber from a third chamber, at which time the carrier gas and vaporized precursor material recovered by the carrier gas flows through the second sintered frit to the third chamber; andremoving the carrier gas and vaporized precursor material recovered by the carrier gas from the multi-chamber solid precursor delivery assembly. 21.
