Abstract
An impermeable cooled closing plug adapted for closing the end of a semiconductor manufacture processing tube is made of a material selected from the group consisting of quartz, silicon and silicon carbide, which materials have low heat conductivity and high chemical stability. The cooling effects of a cooling liquid supplied to the entrance flange of a processing tube are isolated from the tube closing plug by virtue of the low heat conductivity, thus preventing unwanted condensation effects at the entrance of the tube.
