Patent ID: 7837796

Claim:
Process chamber for treatment of a substrate by (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition), comprising a recipient, treatment tools for generating reaction conditions for treatment of the substrate, at least one movable carrier in the recipient, said carrier for carrying at least one substrate, and a transport device for transporting the carrier into the recipient or from the recipient along a transport route, wherein the transport device has at least one guidance device for guiding at least one carrier along the transport route; wherein in a transport position the carrier is not in contact with a contact frame, wherein the contact frame comprises a first electrode and the carrier comprises a second electrode, and in a treatment position the carrier is laterally offset from the transport position and the first electrode is in contact with the second electrode; wherein the process chamber comprises: at least one lifting device inside the recipient for uncoupling a carrier positioned in the a transport position from the guidance device ; and at least one support for the acceptance of the carrier from the guidance device, wherein the at least one support transfers the carrier along a transfer direction from the transport position into the treatment position transverse to the transport direction toward the contact frame and in contact with the contact frame by actuation of the support.
