Vacuum Processing Apparatus, Method for Manufacturing Semiconductor Device, and System For Manufacturing Semiconductor Device

摘要

A vacuum processing apparatus including at least three transfer chambers that have transfer robot arms for transferring a substrate, one or more processing chambers connected to each of the transfer chambers; one or more substrate mounts disposed in the interior thereof; a single common vacuum chamber in which the transfer robot arms of the at least three transfer chambers are disposed in positions that allow the arms to reach the substrate mount, and which is used for handing off the substrate by the transfer robot arms between at least two transfer chambers and at least one substrate mount; and load-lock chambers connected to at least one transfer chamber.
