    摘要: A chemical vapor deposition chamber has a vacuum exhaust line extending therefrom. Material is deposited over a first plurality of substrates within the deposition chamber under conditions effective to deposit effluent product over internal walls of the vacuum exhaust line. At least a portion of the vacuum exhaust line is isolated from the deposition chamber. While isolating, a cleaning fluid is flowed to the vacuum exhaust line effective to at least reduce thickness of the effluent product over the internal walls within the vacuum exhaust line from what it was prior to initiating said flowing. After said flowing, the portion of the vacuum exhaust line and the deposition chamber are provided in fluid communication with one another and material is deposited over a second plurality of substrates within the deposition chamber under conditions effective to deposit effluent product over internal walls of the vacuum exhaust line.

    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.

    摘要: A chemically sensitive warning apparatus capable of changing colors upon contact with a chemical is disclosed. The apparatus preferably comprises an elongated tape having opposed, first and second major surfaces and warning indicia visible to an individual viewing the first surface to provide visual indication of possible danger or hazardous condition. Mounted to the tape is at least one chemical indicator that is responsive to the presence of at least one chemical by changing colors so as to provide a visual indication of the exposure of the indicator to the chemical. The tape may also include at least one color reference indicia to facilitate interpretation of the color of the chemical indicator when the chemical indicator changes color upon exposure to the chemical.

    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.
