    摘要: A semiconductor processing system is described. The system includes a processing chamber having an interior capable of holding an internal chamber pressure below ambient atmospheric pressure. The system also includes a pumping system coupled to the chamber and adapted to remove material from the processing chamber. The system further includes a substrate support pedestal, where the substrate support pedestal is rigidly coupled to a substrate support shaft extending through a wall of the processing chamber. A bracket located outside the processing chamber is provided which is rigidly and sometimes rotatably coupled to the substrate support shaft. A motor coupled to the bracket can be actuated to vertically translate the substrate support pedestal, shaft and bracket from a first position to a second position closer to a processing plate. A piston mounted on an end of the bracket provides a counter-balancing force to a tilting force, where the tilting force is generated by a change in the internal chamber pressure and causes a deflection in the position of the bracket and the substrate support. The counter-balancing force reduces the deflection of the bracket and the substrate support.

    摘要: Substrate processing systems are described. The systems may include a processing chamber, and a substrate support assembly at least partially disposed within the chamber. The substrate support assembly is rotatable by a motor yet still allows electricity, cooling fluids, gases and vacuum to be transferred from a non-rotating source outside the processing chamber to the rotatable substrate support assembly inside the processing chamber. Cooling fluids and electrical connections can be used to raise or lower the temperature of a substrate supported by the substrate support assembly. Electrical connections can also be used to electrostatically chuck the wafer to the support assembly. A rotary seal or seals (which may be low friction O-rings) are used to maintain a process pressure while still allowing substrate assembly rotation. Vacuum pumps can be connected to ports which are used to chuck the wafer. The pumps can also be used to differentially pump the region between a pair of rotary seals when two or more rotary seals are present.
