Abstract

A method for the scrubbing of noxious substances from an exhaust gas stream from an evacuated process chamber containing a tool for the processing of semiconductor devices. The method comprises directing the stream from the chamber in to a duct containing a multi-way valve and selectively adjusting the valve to cause different fractions of the stream to be directed to relevant treatment/collection/exhaust points.
