摘要: Systems and techniques for forming buffer gas microclimates around semiconductor wafers in environments external to a processing chamber are disclosed. Such systems may include slot doors that allow single be removed from multi-wafer stack while limiting outflow of storage system, as well distributors move tandem with robot arms used transport at least some the movements such arms.
