  • Publication number: 20080072820
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus for processing semiconductor substrates. Particularly, the present invention provides a modular processing cell to be used in a cluster tool. The modular semiconductor processing cell of the present invention comprises a chamber having an inject cap, a gas panel module configured to supply one or more processing gas to the chamber through the inject cap, wherein the gas panel module is position adjacent the inject cap. The processing cell further comprises a lamp module positioned below the chamber. The lamp module comprises a plurality of vertically oriented lamps.
