Abstract
La présente invention concerne une chambre à semi-conducteur et un dispositif de traitement de semi-conducteur. La chambre à semi-conducteur comprend un premier corps de chambre, une vanne d'isolement, des ensembles de régulation de température, une première partie de palier, et une deuxième partie de palier, la vanne d'isolement étant disposée dans le premier corps de chambre, la vanne d'isolement sépare une cavité interne du premier corps de chambre pour former au moins deux cavités de traitement, le premier corps de chambre est pourvu d'un orifice de transport de tranche, et l'orifice de transport de tranche est en communication avec l'une des au moins deux cavités de traitement ; chaque cavité de traitement est pourvue en son intérieur de l'ensemble de régulation de température, et les effets de régulation de température des deux ensembles de régulation de température dans deux cavités de traitement adjacentes sont différents ; et la première partie de palier et la deuxième partie de palier sont respectivement situées dans deux cavités de traitement adjacentes, et à condition que la vanne d'isolement entre les deux cavités de traitement adjacentes soit mise en marche, la première partie de palier peut se déplacer dans la cavité de traitement où la deuxième partie de palier est située, et une tranche peut être transférée entre la première partie de palier et la deuxième partie de palier. La solution ci-dessus peut résoudre le problème de la capacité insuffisante d'un dispositif de traitement de semi-conducteur.
