See full text

A method of transferring and processing a substrate in an evacuable chamber which is located adjacent a process chamber and back-to-back process chambers, and other combinations of evacuable chambers and process chambers. The method includes the use of various isolation valves disposed between adjacent chambers, as well as gas flow valves and vacuum valves. By controlling the positions of the valves, the flow of gas to and from the different chambers can be controlled.
