    摘要: A semiconductor substrate processor includes a substrate transfer chamber and a plurality of substrate processing chambers connected therewith. An interfacial structure is received between at least one of the processing chambers and the transfer chamber. The interfacial structure includes a substantially non-metallic, thermally insulative mass of material interposed between the one processing chamber and the transfer chamber. The mass is of sufficient volume to effectively reduce heat transfer from the processing chamber to the transfer chamber than would otherwise occur in the absence of said mass of material. An interfacial structure includes a body having a substrate passageway extending therethrough. The passageway includes walls at least a portion of which are substantially metallic. The body includes material peripheral of the walls which is substantially non-metallic and thermally insulative. The substantially non-metallic material has mounting openings extending at least partially therein.

    摘要: The invention includes chemical vapor deposition methods, including atomic layer deposition, and valve assemblies for use with a reactive precursor in semiconductor processing. In one implementation, a chemical vapor deposition method includes positioning a semiconductor substrate within a chemical vapor deposition chamber. A first deposition precursor is fed to a remote plasma generation chamber positioned upstream of the deposition chamber, and a plasma is generated therefrom within the remote chamber and effective to form a first active deposition precursor species. The first species is flowed to the deposition chamber. During the flowing, flow of at least some of the first species is diverted from entering the deposition chamber while feeding and maintaining plasma generation of the first deposition precursor within the remote chamber. At some point, diverting is ceased while feeding and maintaining plasma generation of the first deposition precursor within the remote chamber. Other aspects and implementations are contemplated.

    摘要: A method includes removing at least a piece of a deposition chamber liner from a deposition chamber by passing it through a passageway to the deposition chamber through which semiconductor substrates pass into and out of the chamber for deposition processing. A replacement for the removed deposition chamber liner piece is provided into the chamber by passing the replacement through said passageway. A liner apparatus includes a plurality of pieces which when assembled within a selected semiconductor substrate deposition processor chamber are configured to restrict at least a majority portion of all internal wall surfaces which define said semiconductor substrate deposition processor chamber from exposure to deposition material within the chamber. At least some of the pieces are sized for passing completely through a substrate passageway to the chamber through which semiconductor substrates pass into and out of the chamber for deposition processing.
