    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure provided herein generally relate to a fluid flow network configured to cool subsystems of a substrate processing system. Aspects of the disclosure provide a fluid flow network and method that adjusts the flow of the cooling fluid through each subsystem of the substrate processing system. The methods described herein can include maintaining a flow rate of the cooling fluid through each subsystem over a range of cooling fluid pressures. The methods described herein can further include configuring the fluid flow network to equalize a flow rate of the cooling fluid through similar subsystems such that the flow rate through each subsystem is similar without adjustment.

    摘要: Embodiments disclosed herein include a substrate processing module and a method of moving a workpiece. The substrate processing module includes a shutter stack and two process stations. The shutter stack is disposed between the process stations. The method of moving a workpiece includes moving a supporting portion from a first location to a shutter stack in a first direction, retrieving the workpiece from the shutter stack, and moving the supporting portion to a second location. The transfer chamber assembly and method allows for moving workpieces to and from the shutter stack to the two process stations. A central transfer robot of the substrate processing module is configured to grip both substrates and shutter discs, allowing for one robot when typically two robots would be required.

    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure provided herein generally provide a substrate processing system that includes at least one processing module that includes a plurality of process stations coupled thereto and a substrate transferring device disposed within a transfer region of the processing module for transferring a plurality of substrates to two or more of the plurality of process stations. The methods and apparatuses disclosed herein are useful for performing vacuum processing on substrates wherein one or more substrates are transferred within the transfer region of processing module that is in direct communication with at least a portion of a processing region of a plurality of separately isolatable process stations during the process of transferring the one or more substrates. In some embodiments, a substrate is positioned and maintained on the same substrate support member during the process of transferring the substrate within the processing module and while the substrate is being processed in each of the plurality of process stations.
