An exemplary system may include a chamber configured to contain a semiconductor substrate in a processing region of the chamber. The system may include a first remote plasma unit fluidly coupled with a first access of the chamber and configured to deliver a first precursor into the chamber through the first access. The system may still further include a second remote plasma unit fluidly coupled with a second access of the chamber and configured to deliver a second precursor into the chamber through the second access. The first and second access may be fluidly coupled with a mixing region of the chamber that is separate from and fluidly coupled with the processing region of the chamber. The mixing region may be configured to allow the first and second precursors to interact with each other externally from the processing region of the chamber.

Methods and apparatus for processing a substrate are provided herein. For example, a method of processing a substrate in an integrated tool comprising a physical vapor deposition chamber and a thermal atomic layer deposition chamber comprises depositing, in the physical vapor deposition chamber, a bottom layer of titanium nitride on the substrate to a thickness of about 10 nm to about 80 nm, transferring, without vacuum break, the substrate from the physical vapor deposition chamber to the thermal atomic layer deposition chamber for depositing a nanolaminate layer of high-k material atop the bottom layer of titanium nitride to a thickness of about 2 nm to about 10 nm, and transferring, without vacuum break, the substrate from the thermal atomic layer deposition chamber to the physical vapor deposition chamber for depositing a top layer of titanium nitride atop the nanolaminate layer of high-k material to a thickness of about 10 nm to about 80 nm.

A substrate processing apparatus includes a transfer chamber; an upper gas supply mechanism for supplying a gas into an upper region of the transfer chamber through a first gas supply port; and a lower gas supply mechanism configured to supply the gas into a lower region of the transfer chamber through a second gas supply port. The upper gas supply mechanism includes a first buffer chamber at a back surface of the first gas supply port; a pair of upper ducts at both sides of the first buffer chamber; and a first ventilation unit at lower ends of the pair of upper ducts. The lower gas supply mechanism includes a second buffer chamber at a back surface of the second gas supply port; a lower duct at lower surface of the second buffer chamber; and a second ventilation unit at a lower end of the lower duct.

A graphene synthesis chamber includes: a chamber case in which a substrate including a metal thin film is placed; a gas supply unit which supplies at least one gas comprising a carbon gas into an inner space of the chamber case; a main heating unit which emits at least one light to the inner space to heat the substrate; and at least one auxiliary heating unit which absorbs the at least one light and emits radiant heat toward the substrate.

A thin film deposition system includes a web guide system having a plurality of web guides defining a web transport path for the web of substrate. The web guide system includes a moveable portion including first and second moveable-position web guides. A web transport control system advances the web of substrate along the web transport path at a web advance velocity. A deposition head is located along the web transport path between the first and second moveable-position web guides. A motion actuator system synchronously moves a position of the first and second moveable-position web guides such that they move forward and backward according to a defined oscillating motion pattern while maintaining a constant distance between the first and second moveable-position web guides, thereby causing a portion of the web of media adjacent to the deposition head to move forward and backward in an in-track direction.

A method of forming a coating layer on a glass substrate in a glass manufacturing process includes: providing a first coating precursor material for a selected coating layer composition to at least one multislot coater to form a first coating region of the selected coating layer; and providing a second coating precursor material for the selected coating layer composition to the multislot coater to form a second coating region of the selected coating layer over the first region. The first coating precursor material is different than the second precursor coating material.
