Abstract:
A method includes causing an upper process kit ring to be removed from a lower process kit ring. The method further includes, responsive to causing the upper process kit ring to be removed from the lower process kit ring, causing, based on sensor data, a first position correction associated with the lower process kit ring. The method further includes, responsive to the first position correction, causing the upper process kit ring to be disposed on the lower process kit ring.
Abstract:
A substrate processing system for an electronic device manufacturing system can include a factory interface forming an interior volume, and a partition disposed in the factory interface. The partition can divide the interior volume into a first factory interface chamber forming a second interior volume, and a second factory interface chamber forming a third interior volume. The partition can be configured to provide a first sealed environment in the first factory interface chamber and a second sealed environment in the second factory interface chamber.
Abstract:
The disclosure describes devices and systems for a seal, and methods for using said seal. A seal includes a base portion configured to couple to a groove formed by a first surface of a first component. The base portion includes a notch in a bottom side of the base portion configured to cause the base portion to laterally flex responsive to an installation force. The seal further includes a sealing portion extending from the base portion. The sealing portion is configured to create an airtight seal between the first component and a sealing surface of a second component responsive to an application of a threshold sealing force against the sealing portion.
Abstract:
Substrate supports for use in process chambers having limited physical space for configuring chamber components are disclosed. In some embodiments, a substrate support may include a body having a support surface; a utilities feed coupled to the body and comprising a second portion coupled to and extending laterally away from the body beyond a diameter of the body, and first portion coupled to the second portion and extending perpendicularly away from the body; and a cover plate movably disposable beneath and with respect to the body between a first position disposed completely beneath the body, and a second position wherein the cover plate is disposed over the first portion of the utilities feed and includes a first portion disposed beneath the body, and wherein the first portion has a curved edge having a radius equal to the distance from a central axis of the support surface to the curved edge.

Abstract:
A substrate flipping device includes a substrate securing assembly, a gripping actuator, and a rotary actuator. The gripping actuator is configured to pneumatically cause the substrate securing assembly to be in an open position to receive a substrate and configured to pneumatically cause the substrate securing assembly to be in a closed position to secure the substrate. The rotary actuator is configured to pneumatically cause the substrate securing assembly to rotate to a flipped position and to pneumatically rotate to a non-flipped position.
