摘要 |
In at least one aspect, a method includes positioning a load lock of an electronic device manufacturing tool such that the load lock occupies a first floor area; and positioning a mainframe power supply in a second floor area, wherein a substantial portion of the second floor area is within the first floor area, thereby reducing the electronic device manufacturing tool footprint. Additionally, or alternatively, a mainframe controller may be placed so that the footprint thereof substantially overlaps the footprint of the load lock. Numerous other aspects are also provided.
