A faceplate for a showerhead of a semiconductor wafer processing system having a plurality of gas passageways to provide a plurality of gases to the process region without commingling those gases before they reach the process region within a reaction chamber. The showerhead contains faceplate and a gas distribution manifold assembly. The faceplate defines a plurality of first gas holes that carry a first gas from the manifold assembly through the faceplate to the process region and a plurality of channels that couple a plurality of second gas holes to a plenum that is fed the second gas from the manifold assembly.
