    摘要: A structure and method are present where a sidewall of a load lock chamber is formed by extrusion, to produce a reproducible tubular structure to form the walls of a vacuum chamber with greatly improved vacuum performance. The use of an extruded structure reduces the dimensional variability, increases the uniformity of a surface finish, and provides uniform top and bottom sealing arrangements, which allow full and easy access to the inside of the sidewalls for cleaning. In another arrangement heat transfer fluid passages can be formed in the wall of the chamber simultaneously as the wall of the chamber is extruded. Heating of cooling liquid can then be circulated through the passages in the wall of the chamber to heat the walls of the chamber as sometimes required to prevent condensation on the inside of the chamber walls, or provide cooling as is required for cool down of a wafer, after processing at an elevated temperature.

    摘要: A temperature stabilization system, method, composition of matter and substrate processing system are disclosed. A heat absorbing material is disposed in thermal contact with a substrate. The heat absorbing material is characterized by a solid-liquid phase transition temperature that is in a desired temperature range for material processing the substrate. When the substrate is subjected to material processing that results in heat transfer into or out of the substrate the solid-liquid phase transition of the heat absorbing material stabilizes the temperature of the substrate.

    摘要: A piezoelectric gripping system firmly secures a semiconductor wafer or other workpiece onto a robotic transfer blade so as to allow for acceleration forces that exceed the frictional holding force between the blade and workpiece. To prevent production of contaminating particulates during grasping, the piezoelectric grippers of the system are independently actuated into slight contact with the workpiece so as to prevent frictional movement of the workpiece relative to the blade during the grasping operation. Once all of the grippers are in slight contact with the workpiece, the voltage to each gripper is increased by a predetermined amount to thereby uniformly increase the force exerted by each gripper on the workpiece and to thereby more firmly secure the workpiece to the blade. Thereafter, the blade may transfer the workpiece at extremely high speeds without the workpiece moving frictionally relative to the blade.
