Abstract

A semiconductor substrate processing chamber is disclosed generally comprising a chamber body that has a semiconductor substrate support assembly disposed in the chamber body. A lid assembly is movably coupled to the chamber body via a dual pivot hinge assembly. The hinge assembly provides two pivot points that minimize the abrasion and pinching of an o-ring disposed between the lid assembly and the chamber body upon closing of the lid assembly.
