Abstract: Systems and methods for redirecting cleaning chemistry flows within a multi-station semiconductor processing chamber are disclosed. In such systems, a cleaning chemistry flow, e.g., a plasma from a remote plasma generator, may be directed onto a hub of an indexer that is centrally mounted within the chamber. The hub may have features that cause the cleaning chemistry flows to be redirected in a radially outward direction. By rotating the hub and/or changing the relative elevational positions between the hub and a cleaning chemistry inlet that provides the cleaning chemistry, the cleaning chemistry may be redirected into different regions of the chamber, thereby allowing for a more thorough and complete cleaning process.

Abstract: Protecting configuration data in a clustered container system may include, in some embodiments, protecting an ETCD data store in a Kubernetes cluster. A data storage management system addresses the unique needs of protecting an ETCD data store of a target Kubernetes cluster, as well as protecting non-ETCD data payloads. The illustrative data storage management system defines ETCD as a unique kind of workload. ETCD protection is integrated within the data storage management system, which automatically creates data structures and resources within the system for, and provides special-purpose features to protect, ETCD contents and associated security certificates. One of the special-purpose features deploys a temporary data transfer agent within the target Kubernetes cluster to safeguard an ETCD snapshot and transmit its contents, along with the security certificates, to a backup infrastructure that operates outside of the target Kubernetes cluster.
