    摘要: A chemical vapor deposition apparatus includes a subatmospheric substrate transfer chamber. A subatmospheric deposition chamber is defined at least in part by a chamber sidewall. A passageway in the chamber sidewall extends from the transfer chamber to the deposition chamber. Semiconductor substrates pass into and out of the deposition chamber through the passageway for deposition processing. A mechanical gate is included within at least one of the deposition chamber and the sidewall passageway, and is configured to open and close at least a portion of the passageway to the chamber. A chamber liner apparatus of a chemical vapor deposition apparatus forms a deposition subchamber within the chamber. At least a portion of the chamber liner apparatus is selectively movable to fully expose and to fully cover the passageway to the chamber.

    摘要: A method includes removing at least a piece of a deposition chamber liner from a deposition chamber by passing it through a passageway to the deposition chamber through which semiconductor substrates pass into and out of the chamber for deposition processing. A replacement for the removed deposition chamber liner piece is provided into the chamber by passing the replacement through said passageway. A liner apparatus includes a plurality of pieces which when assembled within a selected semiconductor substrate deposition processor chamber are configured to restrict at least a majority portion of all internal wall surfaces which define said semiconductor substrate deposition processor chamber from exposure to deposition material within the chamber. At least some of the pieces are sized for passing completely through a substrates passageway to the chamber through which semiconductor substrates pass into and out of the chamber for deposition processing.

    摘要: A plurality of planarizing machines for microelectronic substrate assemblies, and methods of mechanical and chemical-mechanical planarization of microelectronic substrate assemblies are disclosed. The planarizing machines for processing microelectronic substrate assemblies generally include a table, a pad support assembly either positioned on or in the table, and a planarizing medium coupled to the pad support assembly. The pad support assembly includes a fluid container and an elastic membrane coupled to the fluid container. The fluid container generally is a basin either that is either a separate component that is attached to the table, or a depression in the table itself. The fluid container can also be a bladder attached to the table. The membrane generally has a first surface engaging a portion of the fluid container to define a fluid chamber or cavity, and the membrane has a second surface to which the planarizing medium is attached. The planarizing medium can be a polishing pad attached directly to the second surface of the membrane, or the planarizing medium can be a polishing pad with an under-pad that is attached to the second surface of the membrane. The fluid chamber is filled with support fluid to support the elastic membrane over the fluid chamber. The support fluid can be water, glycerin, air, or other suitable fluids that support the elastic membrane in a manner that allows the membrane and the planarizing medium to freely flex inward into the fluid chamber under the influence of a mechanical force to provide at least a substantially uniform distribution of pressure across the substrate.
