Abstract:
1. A method for combinatorial processing of a substrate for semiconductor manufacturing, the method comprising: performing a first process on a first isolated region of the substrate, changing the relative position of an aperture so as to move the aperture from a position above the first isolated region of the substrate to a position above a second isolated region of the substrate; and performing a second process on the second isolated region of the substrate; wherein the first process is different from the second process; wherein each isolated region of the substrate is a region on the substrate exposed for processing by the position of the aperture and wherein the remaining substrate area is protected from processing by a base plate; wherein the aperture is disposed in a linear mask slidably disposed with respect to the base plate disposed above the substrate, wherein the linear mask covers an opening in the base plate; wherein the opening in the base plate is disposed over a radial portion of the substrate; and wherein changing the relative position of the aperture comprises one or more of
