    摘要: Methods and apparatus for supplying gas in a plasma processing system that employs the single line drop approach wherein a regulator is shared among multiple mass flow controllers. In one or more embodiments, an accumulator is provided and coupled in gaseous communication with a shared manifold to reduce pressure spikes and dips. A filter, which may be replaceable or non-replaceable separate from the accumulator, is integrated with the accumulator in one or more embodiments.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided for decreasing the scrubber exhaust from gas panels, lower the cost of operation, lower the facilitation cost and power consumption by increasing the air velocity in areas of high potential risk of ignition. The apparatus includes a supply of compressed dry air (CDA) through the tubing with individual dispersion nozzles. The CDA dispersion nozzles can be installed at various key locations in order to provide additional ventilation turbulence and reduce potential dead zones inside the gas panel. Aspects of the invention help to save the energy and protect the environment by reducing the power consumption. In addition human safety shall be improved by minimizing the potential risk of ignition.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for shared gas panel for supplying a process gas to a plurality of process modules are disclosed. The shared gas panel includes a plurality of mixing valves and at least two mixing manifolds for a given mixing valve to service at least two process modules. The mixing manifolds are disposed on a given plane and staggered to save space. Components of the shared gas panel are also stacked vertically in order to reduce volume of the shared gas panel enclosure. Components are optimized such that the two mixing manifolds coupled to the given mixing valve receive equal mass flow to eliminate matching issues.
