    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for shared gas panel for supplying a process gas to a plurality of process modules are disclosed. The shared gas panel includes a plurality of mixing valves and at least two mixing manifolds for a given mixing valve to service at least two process modules. The mixing manifolds are disposed on a given plane and staggered to save space. Components of the shared gas panel are also stacked vertically in order to reduce volume of the shared gas panel enclosure. Components are optimized such that the two mixing manifolds coupled to the given mixing valve receive equal mass flow to eliminate matching issues.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for decreasing the scrubber exhaust from gas panels, lower the cost of operation, lower the facilitation cost and power consumption by increasing the air velocity in areas of high potential risk of ignition. The apparatus includes a supply of compressed dry air (CDA) through the tubing with individual dispersion nozzles. The CDA dispersion nozzles can be installed at various key locations in order to provide additional ventilation turbulence and reduce potential dead zones inside the gas panel. Aspects of the invention help to save the energy and protect the environment by reducing the power consumption. In addition human safety shall be improved by minimizing the potential risk of ignition.

    Abstract: A gas distribution system for supplying a gas mixture to a plasma process chamber is provided. A first valve arrangement is connected to upstream ends of a first gas line and a second gas line. A second valve arrangement is connected to downstream ends of the first gas line and the second gas line. A first gas distribution outlet line is connected between a gas supply and the first valve arrangement and a first chamber inlet line connected between the second valve arrangement and the plasma process chamber. A first evacuation line is connected to the first gas line at a location between the first valve arrangement and the second valve arrangement. A second evacuation line is connected to the second gas line at a location between the first valve arrangement and the second valve arrangement. The first evacuation line and second evacuation line are in fluid communication with a vacuum line. A controller is operable to actuate the first valve arrangement and second valve arrangement to selectively flow the gas mixture from the gas supply to the plasma process chamber through the first gas line while the second gas is selectively evacuated by the vacuum line; or to selectively flow the gas mixture from the gas supply to the plasma process chamber through the second gas line while the first gas line is selectively evacuated by the vacuum line.
