<p>A processing system and associated method for vacuum evaporation of material onto a substrate. The processing system includes a loading chamber, a transfer chamber, and a thermal processing chamber arranged together to form a cluster tool. The cluster tool arrangement provides the system a continuous processing capability. The system also includes an evacuation system arrangement for evacuating the processing system to adequate processing pressure levels. The evacuation system arrangement includes a series of pumps, which arecapable of maintaining the selected processing pressure levels for continuous thermal evaporation processing without the need for lowering the pressure to deep vacuum pressure levels.</p> |
