Abstract:
1. A vacuum chamber system for semiconductor processing, comprising A) at least two evacuable vacuum chambers which are provided for receiving semiconductor elements to be processed and comprise in each case: B) transfer means by which one of the vacuum chambers: wherein the support means are in the form of at least two support elements which are arranged on opposite sides of the vacuum chamber opening, are adjustable substantially parallel to the opening central axis, have an operative connection to one another and have a force and displacement balance relative to one another with a balance center located substantially on the opening central axis, wherein the operative connection between the adjustable support elements is such that an adjustment of one support element on docking in one direction parallel to the opening central axis leads to an substantially equidistant adjustment of the other support element in an opposite direction, substantially parallel to the opening central axis, so that the at least two support elements are in balance, wherein in the docked state,
