Abstract:
1. A substrate processing system for processing an essentially vertically-oriented substrate, comprising: a first processing chamber having a first processing region and being adapted to deposit a first layer comprising a first material, wherein the first process chamber comprises a first and a second transportation track; a second processing chamber having a second processing region and being adapted to deposit a second layer over the first layer, the second layer comprising a second material; a third processing chamber having a third processing region and being adapted to deposit a layer comprising the second material; a transfer chamber providing linear transport paths with the first, the second, and the third chambers, respectively; a further chamber comprising further portions of the first and the second transportation track, wherein the further portions of the first and the second transportation track in the further chamber and the first and second transportation track in the first process chamber form linear transportation paths; and at least one lateral displacement mechanism configured for lateral displacement of the substrate from the first transportation track to the second transportation track and vice versa, wherein the at least one lateral displacement mechanism is configured for the lateral displacement along a direction perpendicular to the transportation paths, and wherein the at least one lateral displacement mechanism is provided in the further chamber or the first processing chamber, and wherein the first processing chamber is adapted to receive the substrate from the transfer chamber, and to deposit a further layer comprising the first material.
