    Abstract: A method for wafer pod handling includes at least the following steps. A wafer pod is moved into a load chamber by conveying the wafer pod to the load chamber via one side of a track and removing a cover of the load chamber via an opposing side of the track. The wafer pod that is inside the load chamber is coupled to a port of a platform that is linked to the load chamber. A wafer to be processed is moved from the wafer pod and out of the load chamber to the platform for performing a semiconductor process. Other methods for wafer pod handling are also provided.

    Abstract: A method of trimming a fin structure includes the following operations: (i) forming a fin structure on a substrate; (ii) epitaxially growing an epitaxy structure cladding the fin structure, in which the epitaxy structure has a first lattice plane with Miller index (111), a second lattice plane with Miller index (100) and a third lattice plane with Miller index (110); and (iii) removing the epitaxy structure and a portion of the fin structure to obtain a trimmed fin structure.

    Abstract: Embodiments of mechanisms for controlling a gas flow in an interface module are provided. A method for controlling a gas flow in an enclosure includes providing the enclosure which is capable of containing a substrate. The method also includes providing a gas into the enclosure. The method further includes cleaning the gas. In addition, the method includes actuating the gas to generate the gas flow, and the gas flow passes through the substrate when the substrate is located in the enclosure.

    Abstract: A method of patterning a material layer includes the following steps. A first material layer is formed over a substrate, and the first material layer includes a first metal compound. Through a first photomask, portions of the first material layer is exposed with a gamma ray, wherein a first metal ion of the first metal compound in the portions of the first material layer is chemically reduced to a first metal grain. Other portions of the first material layer are removed to form a plurality of first hard mask patterns including the first metal grain.

    Abstract: A semiconductor processing station including a platform, a load port, and a carrier transport track is provided. The platform includes an intake/outtake port and a plurality of processing modules. The load port includes a load chamber, a movable cover, and a carrier transfer module. The load chamber communicates with the intake/outtake port and has a load opening at its top end for receiving a transport carrier within the load chamber. The movable cover is disposed at the load opening and configured to seal the load opening. The carrier transfer module is configured to transfer the transport carrier to the intake/outtake port. The carrier transport track has a bottom side configured to open the load chamber.
