Abstract:
A spin deposition apparatus includes a deposition mask configured to be arranged proximate a target substrate. The deposition mask includes at least one fluid reservoir offset from a rotational axis of the deposition mask and configured to hold fluid for dispersal on a portion of a surface of the target substrate.
Abstract:
A system for processing a semiconductor substrate is provided. The system includes a mainframe having a plurality of modules attached thereto. The modules include processing modules, storage modules, and transport mechanisms. The processing modules may include combinatorial processing modules and conventional processing modules, such as surface preparation, thermal treatment, etch and deposition modules. In one embodiment, at least one of the modules stores multiple masks. The multiple masks enable in-situ variation of spatial location and geometry across a sequence of processes and/or multiple layers of a substrate to be processed in another one of the modules. A method for processing a substrate is also provided.
