Abstract

Embodiments of the invention generally provide a fluid processing platform. The platform includes a mainframe having a substrate transfer robot, at least one substrate cleaning cell on the mainframe, and at least one processing enclosure. The processing enclosure includes a gas supply positioned in fluid communication with an interior of the processing enclosure, a first fluid processing cell positioned in the enclosure, a first substrate head assembly positioned to support a substrate for processing in the first fluid processing cell, a second fluid processing cell positioned in the enclosure, a second head assembly positioned to support a substrate for processing in the second fluid processing cell, and a substrate shuttle positioned between the first and second fluid processing cells and being configured to transfer substrates between the fluid processing cells and the mainframe robot.
