  • Publication number: 20240026530
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include to a component support for use in coating chamber components via chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The component support includes contact rods configured to contact chamber components at fixture points located on the backside of the chamber components. The component supports are configured to support the chamber components in the processing volume with minimal contact of the chamber components. The fixture points on the backside reduce exposure of the fixture points to reactant gases when the chamber components are installed.

  • Publication number: 20220364263
    Abstract: Systems and apparatus for a reduced mass substrate support are disclosed, according to certain embodiments. A front side pocket is provided for support of a substrate, while a backside pocket is provided that reduces the mass of the substrate support. By providing the backside pocket, the mass of the overall substrate support is reduced, providing faster thermal cycling times for the substrate support and reducing the weight of the substrate support for transport. Lift pin systems, according to disclosed embodiments, are compatible with existing pedestal systems by providing a hollow extension from each lift pin hole that extends from a bottom of the backside pocket to provide support for lift pin insertion and operation.

  • Publication number: 20110282712
    Abstract: A method is described for presenting a report. The method comprises the following steps. Survey results are obtained to plurality of customer surveys for a predefined location over a data accumulation period. Each customer survey includes a plurality of attributes each having at least one weighting factor. A location average result is calculated for each of the plurality of attributes. Survey results are obtained to a plurality of peer surveys over the data accumulation period for at least one corresponding peer. Each peer survey including a plurality of attributes. Calculating a peer average result for each of the plurality of attributes. A peer difference score is determined for each of the attributes as a difference between the location average result and the peer average result for the corresponding attribute. A ranking score is determined for each attribute based on a combination of the at least one weighting factor and the peer difference score.
