See full text

A substrate processing system having a transfer chamber having two processing chambers and two load lock chambers coupled thereto is generally provided. The transfer chamber includes a body having a first transfer area and a second transfer area defined therein on either side of a center axis. A first passage couples one of the load locks with the first transfer area and a second passage couples the other one of the load locks with the second transfer area. The first passage and the second passage form an acute angle about the center axis. A transfer platform is disposed between the first transfer area and the second transfer area. A first transfer robot and a second transfer robot are disposed in the first and second transfer areas, respectively. Each robot is adapted to transfer substrates between the load locks, the transfer platform and a processing chamber.
