Abstract

An apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor includes a polyhedral transfer chamber, a first process module for forming a gate dielectric layer by ALD, and a second process module for thermally treating the gate dielectric layer. The first process module is in communication with a first side of the transfer chamber. The second process module in communication with a second side of the transfer chamber. The apparatus further includes at least one load-lock chamber in communication with a third side of the transfer chamber.
