    摘要: A substrate processing system for processing multiple substrates is provided and generally includes at least one processing platform and at least one staging platform. Each substrate is positioned on a substrate carrier disposed on a substrate support assembly. Multiple substrate carriers, each is configured to carry a substrate thereon, are positioned on the surface of the substrate support assembly. The processing platform and the staging platform, each includes a separate substrate support assembly, which can be rotated by a separate rotary track mechanism. Each rotary track mechanism is capable of supporting the substrate support assembly and continuously rotating multiple substrates carried by the substrate carriers and disposed on the substrate support assembly. Each substrate is thus processed through at least one shower head station and at least one buffer station, which are positioned at a distance above the rotary track mechanism of the processing platform. Each substrate can be transferred between the processing platform and the staging platform and in and out the substrate processing system.

    摘要: Gas supply systems and methods are disclosed for solar cell production using multiple parallel reactors. A first gas supply control system has a gas panel having a plurality of gas outlet lines, supplying a first main supply line having a main line mass flow meter measuring the combined total gas mass flow rate in the first main supply line. First, second and third branch lines supplied by the first main supply line each branch line having mass flow controller and one or more control loops established between the mass flow meter and the branch line mass flow controllers. The control loop determining a set point for each of the branch mass flow controllers based on dividing the flow rate of the total gas flow by the number of reactors in use. In addition, a second gas supply control system may be coupled to the first gas supply control system to avoid mixing certain gases before they enter the respective reactors to which they are supplied.

    摘要: One embodiment provides a retaining ring assembly. The retaining ring assembly comprises a retaining ring configured to circumferentially surround and retain the substrate within an inner surface of the retaining ring, and a flexure coupled to the retaining ring. The flexure is configured to maintain a gap between an inner surface of a carrier ring and an outer surface of the retaining ring, and the carrier ring is circumferentially surrounding the retaining ring.
