Abstract:
Apparatus and methods to process one or more wafers are described. A first processing station has a first gas flow pattern from one or more of a first gas diffuser, a first cooling channel pattern, or a first heater. A second processing station has a second gas flow pattern from one or more of a second gas diffuser, a second cooling channel pattern, or a second heater. The second gas diffuser, the second cooling channel pattern, or the second heater is rotated or translated relative to the first gas diffuser, the first cooling channel pattern, or the first heater to provide the second gas flow pattern complementary to the first gas flow pattern.
