Abstract
A method of combinatorially processing a substrate and combinatorial processing chamber are provided. The processing chamber includes opposing annular rings defining a conductance gap that extends radially outward. The opposing annular rings are configured to vary the conductance gap in-situ. The variation of the conductance gap is another parameter for processing regions of a substrate differently to evaluate the impact of the conductance variation on a deposition process.
