Abstract

A semiconductor processing system includes a processing chamber, a rotatable shaft extending into the chamber, and a wafer holder in the chamber. The rotatable shaft has a gas flow passage therethrough. The wafer holder is capable of supporting a wafer in position in the chamber so that the processing gas flow passage directs flow onto a face of the wafer.
