Patent ID: 8580037

Claim:
An apparatus for semiconductor processing onto a non-planar substrate, comprising: a. a hermetically sealable semiconductor process chamber having an ingress and an egress, wherein the ingress and egress are operable to allow passage of at least one non-planar substrate therethrough; b. means adapted and configured for moving the at least one non-planar substrate down a translational path through the semiconductor process chamber; c. means adapted and configured for maintaining contact with and controllably rotating the at least one non-planar substrate as the non-planar substrate moves down the translational path through the semiconductor process chamber; and d. means for performing a semiconductor process on the at least one non-planar substrate concurrently with the rotation of the at least one non-planar substrate down the translational path such that at least a portion of the surface area of the at least one non-planar substrate is exposed to the semiconductor process.
