An apparatus may include a resonator chamber, arranged in a vacuum enclosure; an RF electrode assembly, arranged within the vacuum enclosure; and a resonator coil, disposed within the resonator chamber, the resonator coil having a high voltage end, directly connected to at least one RF electrode of the RF electrode assembly.
Abstract:
A wafer handling system may include upper and lower linked robot arms that may move a wafer along a nonlinear trajectory between chambers of a semiconductor processing system. These features may result in a smaller footprint in which the semiconductor processing system may operate, smaller transfer chambers, smaller openings in process chambers, and smaller slit valves, while maintaining high wafer throughput. In some embodiments, simultaneous fast wafer swaps between two separate chambers, such as load locks and ALD (atomic layer deposition) carousels, may be provided. Methods of wafer handling are also provided, as are other aspects.
