  • Publication number: 20210118700
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a flexible workpiece pedestal capable of tilting a workpiece support surface. The workpiece pedestal further includes a heater mounted on the workpiece support surface. The heater includes a plurality of heating sources such as heating coils. The plurality of heating sources in the heater allows heating the workpiece at different temperatures for different zones of the workpiece. For example, the workpiece can have a central zone heated by a first heating coil, a first outer ring zone that is outside of the central zone heated by a second heating coil, a second outer ring zone that is outside of the first outer ring zone heated by a third heating coil. By using the tunable heating feature and the tilting feature of the workpiece pedestal, the present disclosure can reduce or eliminate the shadowing effect problem of the related workpiece pedestal in the art.

  • Publication number: 20210115554
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a multifunction chamber having a multifunctional shutter disk. The shutter disk includes a lamp device, a DC/RF power device, and a gas line on one surface of the shutter disk. With this configuration, simplifying the chamber type is possible as the various specific, dedicated chambers such as a degas chamber, a pre-clean chamber, a CVD/PVD chamber are not required. By using the multifunctional shutter disk, the degassing function and the pre-cleaning function are provided within a single chamber. Accordingly, a separate degas chamber and a pre-clean chamber are no longer required and the overall transfer time between chambers is reduced or eliminated.

  • Publication number: 20200251365
    Abstract: A method for fault detection in a fabrication facility is provided. The method includes moving a wafer carrier along a predetermined path multiple times using a transportation apparatus. The method also includes collecting data associated with an environmental condition within the wafer carrier or around the wafer carrier using a metrology tool on the predetermined path in a previous movement of the transportation apparatus. The method further includes measuring the environmental condition within the wafer carrier or around the wafer carrier using the metrology tool during the movement of the wafer carrier. In addition, the method includes issuing a warning when the measured environmental condition is outside a range of acceptable values. The range of acceptable values is derived from the data collected in the previous movement of the transportation apparatus.
