摘要 |
The present invention provides a system, apparatus and method for improving the efficiency of a semiconductor processing system, such as a deposition system by decreasing or substantially eliminating the accumulation of by-products in the apparatus components of the semiconductor processing system. The present invention further relates to improving the efficiency of a foreline trap associated with a semiconductor processing system, wherein the trap removes substantially all of the by-products from the exhaust gas from the processing chamber, m addition, the present invention provides a system, apparatus and method for efficiently clearing traps of accumulated by-products from exhaust gas of a semiconductor processing system. |
