The present invention provides methods and apparatus for processing semiconductor substrates. Particularly, the present invention provides a modular processing cell to be used in a cluster tool. The modular semiconductor processing cell of the present invention comprises a chamber having an inject cap, a gas panel module configured to supply one or more processing gas to the chamber through the inject cap, wherein the gas panel module is position adjacent the inject cap. The processing cell further comprises a lamp module positioned below the chamber. The lamp module comprises a plurality of vertically oriented lamps.

A fastener system and method for supporting and retaining modular insulating quartz liners with gas apertures in close proximity to corresponding apertures in diffusers of gas showerheads. Tubular fasteners have a head, a tubular shank and a foot that extend through a liner plate nozzle into a diffuser plate. A keyway in the gas diffuser, aligned and coaxial with a diffuser nozzle, allows the foot to reach an arcuate concourse through a keyway where it can be locked by bayonet turning. The keyway is machined into the diffuser by EDM and is an inversion of the fastener tip geometry rotated about the axis of the tubular shank. Each fastener and nozzle set form a coaxial path for distributing processing gas to substrates through liner and diffuser plates from a plenum in showerheads of a MOCVD reactor.

A fixture for cutting thin substrates, such as films, wafers, semiconductor layers and the like, using a blade holder assembly joined to a substrate clamp assembly. Each assembly has a plurality of members with the substrate clamp having a base plate that introduces a vacuum environment and a substrate support plate that uses the vacuum to secure the substrate in place. The blade holder assembly has interlocking projections in interleaving sheet members sandwiched between two bracket members that define slots for supporting a knife. Multiple slots allow the blade to be positioned in different positions and different orientations for cutting thin substrates held with vacuum pressure in the substrate clamp assembly.
