    Abstract: A method of moving a susceptor in a processing system, suitable for use in semiconductor processing, is provided. The method includes: moving a first susceptor from an interior volume of a first enclosure to an interior volume of a process chamber during a first time period; and positioning, during a second time period, a first substrate on the first susceptor when the first susceptor is in the process chamber, wherein the interior volume of the first enclosure and interior volume of the process chamber are maintained at a non-atmospheric pressure from the beginning of the first time period until the end of the second time period.

    Abstract: Described herein are a susceptor, processing chambers having the same, and method for substrate processing using the same. In one example, a susceptor for supporting a substrate during processing is provided. The susceptor has a disk shaped body that includes a rim circumscribing an inner region. The inner region is recessed to form a recessed pocket that is configured to receive a substrate. A plurality of bumps extend radially into the inner region that are configured to contact an outer edge of the substrate when the substrate is disposed in the recessed pocket. A venting region is defined within the inner region. The venting region is defined by a plurality of vent holes formed through the body. The venting region terminates at a radius originating from a centerline of the body that is at least 4.0 millimeter less than a radius defining an inner wall of the rim.

    Abstract: The embodiments described herein generally relate to devices and systems for increased pressure control of near atmospheric deposition processes. Devices and systems disclosed herein generally include an exhaust apparatus for a processing chamber in connection with an automated valve which is positioned between the exhaust port and the abatement system. The processing chamber can generally be maintained at a pressure above atmospheric pressure while the automated valve controls the flow of gases leaving the chamber to keep the pressure constant in the chamber.

    Abstract: One implementation provides a method including providing a substrate into a processing chamber through a loading port, rotating the substrate clockwise, providing a gas mixture into a processing region through an inject insert comprising a first, second, and third sets of inject inlets, wherein the first set of inject inlets creates an inner zone inside the processing region, the second set of inject inlets creates a middle zone radially outward of the inner zone, and the third set of inject inlets creates an outer zone radially outward the middle zone, the gas mixture is provided by flowing the gas mixture through the first and second sets of inject inlets, and inject inlets of the third set of inject inlets that are away from the loading port, while blocking flow of the gas mixture into inject inlets of the third set of inject inlets that are closer to the loading port.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a process operation is conducted at a first pressure in a process chamber, and an epitaxial deposition operation is conducted at an atmospheric pressure in an epitaxial deposition chamber. The atmospheric pressure is greater than the first pressure. The process chamber is mounted to a first mainframe that operates at the first pressure (a reduced pressure), and the epitaxial deposition chamber is mounted to a second mainframe that operates at the atmospheric chamber. In one aspect, the process chamber is a cleaning chamber (such as a pre-clean chamber) and the process operation is a cleaning operation. In one aspect, the process chamber is an atmospheric pressure epitaxial deposition chamber and the process operation is an atmospheric pressure epitaxial deposition operation.
