    摘要: A machine for manufacturing semiconductor devices has a processing chamber for processing the semiconductor wafer. A transfer chamber has at least two positions, one position to facilitate the transfer of a wafer to be processed into the transfer chamber and to facilitate the transfer of a processed wafer from the transfer chamber to the cassette from which the wafer originated. The second position facilitates the transfer of a wafer to and from the processing chamber. A transfer arm simultaneously transfers an unprocessed wafer from the first position to the second position with the transfer of a processed wafer from the second position to the first position.
