WAFER PLACEMENT CORRECTION IN INDEXED MULTI-STATION PROCESSING CHAMBERS

Abstract:

Systems and techniques for determining and using multiple types of offsets for providing wafers to a transfer pedestal of a multi-station processing chamber are disclosed. Such techniques may be used to provide pedestal-specific offsets that may be selected based on which pedestal of a multi-station chamber is assigned to a particular wafer. Similar techniques may be used to provide wafer support-specific offsets based on which indexer arm of an indexer is assigned to a given wafer.
