Patent ID: 8882914

Claim:
A system comprising: at least one interface configured to receive at least one substrate containing two or more regions; a plurality of modules coupled to the at least one interface, the plurality of modules comprising a first module configured for physical vapor deposition (PVD) processing of the substrate, a second module configured for atomic layer deposition (ALD) processing of the substrate, and a third module configured for a wet processing operation, wherein the third module includes a site-isolated reactor (SIR) to perform combinatorial processing on the substrate, the SIR moveably affixed to a frame and including a processing cell, the processing cell having a bottom surface configured to seal against a surface of the substrate to define one of the regions, wherein the processing cell is sealed on a top surface through a septum; a process tracking system (PTS) to capture information on the processing by the SIR; a first handler configured to move the substrate between the interface and one of the first or the second module; and a second handler configured to move the substrate between the interface and the third module.
