    Abstract: Exemplary substrate processing systems may include a transfer region housing defining a transfer region fluidly coupled with a plurality of processing regions. A sidewall of the transfer region housing may define a sealable access for providing and receiving substrates. The systems may include a transfer apparatus having a central hub including a shaft extending at a distal end through the transfer region housing into the transfer region. The transfer apparatus may include a lateral translation apparatus coupled with an exterior surface of the transfer region housing, and configured to provide at least one direction of lateral movement of the shaft. The systems may also include an end effector coupled with the shaft within the transfer region. The end effector may include a plurality of arms having a number of arms equal to a number of substrate supports of the plurality of substrate supports in the transfer region.

    Abstract: A system for heating substrates comprising LEDs arranged in a plurality of concentric circles is disclosed. The system comprises an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed in a two-dimensional grid, where there are a set of rows, and each row comprises a plurality of LEDs configured in parallel. This configuration is fault tolerant, allowing one or more LEDs to be inoperable, without affecting any of the other LEDs. Further, the LEDs are arranged in concentric circles, allowing uniform heating of the substrate. Additionally, in certain embodiments, the LEDs and signal traces are arranged so that a single layer circuit board may be used. A method of creating this array of LEDs is also disclosed.

    Abstract: An RF resonator cavity that includes a resonator coil is disclosed. Unlike traditional RF resonator cavities, no sulfur hexafluoride is used in this cavity. Rather, the volume of the RF resonator cavity is pumped to vacuum conditions. This may be done using a vacuum system, or by hermetically sealing the cavity. This approach eliminates the use of a potent greenhouse gas, while maintaining the integrity of the cavity. Specifically, the dielectric strength of the vacuum is greater than that of sulfur hexafluoride. This RF resonator cavity may be deployed in a linear accelerator used to implant ions into a workpiece.
