    Abstract: A method of moving a susceptor in a processing system, suitable for use in semiconductor processing, is provided. The method includes: moving a first susceptor from an interior volume of a first enclosure to an interior volume of a process chamber during a first time period; and positioning, during a second time period, a first substrate on the first susceptor when the first susceptor is in the process chamber, wherein the interior volume of the first enclosure and interior volume of the process chamber are maintained at a non-atmospheric pressure from the beginning of the first time period until the end of the second time period.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to lift pins that include an opening, and related components and chamber kits, for disposition in processing chambers for semiconductor manufacturing. In one or more embodiments, a processing chamber applicable for use in semiconductor manufacturing includes a chamber body and a window. The processing chamber includes one or more heat sources, a substrate support, and a plurality of lift pins disposed in a processing volume. The plurality of lift pins respectively include a shaft section having a first outer dimension, a head section having a second outer dimension, and an opening formed in the shaft section. The opening has a dimension that is a first ratio that is at least 0.3 of the first outer dimension of the shaft section. The dimension of the opening is a second ratio that is at least 0.2 of the second outer dimension of the head section.

    Abstract: Described herein are a susceptor, processing chambers having the same, and method for substrate processing using the same. In one example, a susceptor for supporting a substrate during processing is provided. The susceptor has a disk shaped body that includes a rim circumscribing an inner region. The inner region is recessed to form a recessed pocket that is configured to receive a substrate. A plurality of bumps extend radially into the inner region that are configured to contact an outer edge of the substrate when the substrate is disposed in the recessed pocket. A venting region is defined within the inner region. The venting region is defined by a plurality of vent holes formed through the body. The venting region terminates at a radius originating from a centerline of the body that is at least 4.0 millimeter less than a radius defining an inner wall of the rim.

    Abstract: The embodiments described herein generally relate to devices and systems for increased pressure control of near atmospheric deposition processes. Devices and systems disclosed herein generally include an exhaust apparatus for a processing chamber in connection with an automated valve which is positioned between the exhaust port and the abatement system. The processing chamber can generally be maintained at a pressure above atmospheric pressure while the automated valve controls the flow of gases leaving the chamber to keep the pressure constant in the chamber.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a gas delivery module, a processing chamber, and a method for depositing a film on a substrate. In one example, a gas delivery module is provided that includes a deposition precision flow device (PFD) flow controller, a carrier PFD flow controller, and a plurality of mass flow controllers (MFCs). The deposition PFD flow controller is configured to control a flow of a deposition gas through a plurality of outlets. The carrier PFD flow controller is configured to control a flow of a carrier gas through a plurality of outlets. The first MFC of the plurality of MFCs includes a first inlet and an outlet. The first inlet of the first MFC is fluidly coupled to a first outlet of the plurality of outlets of the deposition PFD and to a first outlet of the plurality of outlets of the carrier PFD. The second MFC of the plurality of MFCs includes a second inlet and an outlet. The second inlet of the second MFC is fluidly coupled to a second outlet of the plurality of outlets of the deposition PFD and to a second outlet of the plurality of outlets of the carrier PFD. The third MFC of the plurality of MFCs includes a third inlet and an outlet. The third inlet of the third MFC is fluidly coupled to a third outlet of the plurality of outlets of the deposition PFD and to a third outlet of the plurality of outlets of the carrier PFD.
