Abstract

A baffle/settling chamber removes solid particulates from the exhaust of a semiconductor deposition equipment while reducing pressure fluctuation in the exhaust to provide a more uniform deposition of chemicals. A container having an inlet baffle plate, an outlet baffle plate and three settling plates disposed there between are disposed in a chamber and reside serially in the exhaust flow.
