  • Patent number: 11926896
    Abstract: An atomic layer deposition apparatus having a reaction chamber arranged inside a vacuum chamber and a fixed gas manifold assembly fixedly provided to the atomic layer deposition apparatus and arranged to supply gases from outside the vacuum chamber to the reaction chamber. The reaction chamber is a movable reaction chamber which is arranged movable relative to the vacuum chamber and relative to the fixed gas manifold assembly. The atomic layer deposition apparatus further includes a connection arrangement coupling the movable reaction chamber to the fixed gas manifold assembly. The connection arrangement includes a flexible outer flange assembly surrounding the fixed gas manifold assembly, and a first connection surface connecting to a second connection surface of the reaction chamber.

  • Publication number: 20240043998
    Abstract: An atomic layer deposition reactor and a method for operating a reactor. The reactor includes a vacuum chamber having a loading wall provided with a loading opening, and a reactor door assembly having a reactor door. The reactor door assembly is arranged to move the reactor door between a first door position in which the reactor door is against the loading wall and arranged to close the loading opening, and a second door position in which the reactor door is spaced apart from and opposite the loading wall. The reactor door assembly is further arranged to move the reactor door between the second door position, and a third door position in which the reactor door is aside from the loading opening.
