摘要: An apparatus and method for concurrent processing of several substrates. The system employs a novel architecture which, while being linear, may autonomously sequence processing and move substrates in different directions as necessary. The system moves several substrates concurrently; however, unlike the prior art it does not utilize trays.

摘要: An apparatus and method for recovery and cleaning of broken substrates, for fabrication systems using silicon wafers. A placing mechanism moves a suction head to a location of the broken substrate and a suction pump coupled to a flexible hose is used to remove the broken pieces. A hood is positioned at the inlet of the suction head, and setback extensions are provided at the bottom of the hood to allow air flow into the inlet and prevent thermal conductance from the tray to the hood. Pins are extendable about the inlet of the suction head to enable breakage of the substrate to smaller pieces for removal.

摘要: Vacuum processing chambers having provisions for improved electrical contact to substrate carrier. Specific embodiments provide a plasma processing chamber having a pedestal for supporting the carrier, and a plurality of fixed posts and resilient contacts are distributed over the area of the pedestal. The fixed posts provide physical support for the carrier, while the resilient contacts provide reliable and repeatable multi-point electrical contact to the carrier.

摘要: In one embodiment, a wafer processing system has a loading station, a process module, and a load lock directly adjacent to the process module. The load lock has a small volume and can include integrated heating/cooling units. The load lock also has a wafer transfer mechanism for placing a wafer directly to the process module. The wafer processing system does not employ a transfer chamber to transport wafers between the load lock and the process module. Instead, a wafer is directly transferred from the load lock to the process module using the wafer transfer mechanism. Not requiring a transfer chamber not only improves the throughput of the wafer processing system, but also lowers its complexity and component count as well. The throughput of the wafer processing system is also improved by using a small volume load lock with integrated cooling/heating units.
