    摘要: An improved position control means for robotic handling systems; particularly, a sensing system and method for precisely determining the center point of a substrate, such as a semiconductor wafer, relative to a destination point by using a set of multi pixel imaging sensors incorporated into the wafer carrying end effector of the robotic handling system.

    摘要: An enclosure for generating a secondary environment within a processing chamber for coating a substrate. An enclosure wall forms a secondary environment encompassing the coating source, plasma, and the substrate, and separating them from interior of the processing chamber. The enclosure wall includes a plurality of pumping channels for diverting gaseous flow away from the substrate. The channels have an intake of larger diameter from the exhaust opening and are oriented at an angle with the intake opening pointing away from the deposition source. A movable seal enables transport of the substrate in open position and processing the substrate in closed position. The seal may be formed as a labyrinth seal to avoid particle generation from a standard contact seal.

    摘要: A system is provided for etching patterned media disks for hard drive. The modular system may be tailored to perform specific processes sequences so that a patterned media disk is fabricated without removing the disk from vacuum environment. In some sequence the magnetic stack is etched while in other the etch is performed prior to forming the magnetic stack. In a further sequence ion implantation is used without etching steps. For etching a movable non-contact electrode is utilized to perform sputter etch. The cathode moves to near contact distance to, but not contacting, the substrate so as to couple RF energy to the disk. The substrate is held vertically in a carrier and both sides are etched serially. That is, one side is etched in one chamber and then in the next chamber the second side is etched.

    摘要: There is described apparatus and methods for transporting and processing substrates including wafers as to efficiently produce at reasonable costs improved throughput as compared to systems in use today. A key element is the use of a transport chamber along the sides of processing chambers for feeding substrates into a controlled atmosphere through a load lock and then along a transport chamber as a way of reaching processing chambers and then out of the controlled atmosphere following processing in the processing chambers.
