Abstract

Provided herein is a method of processing an electronic device including operating a processing chamber at a first temperature while a workpiece is being processed and removing the workpiece and a carrier holding the workpiece from the processing chamber while decreasing the temperature within the processing chamber to a second temperature significantly lower than the first temperature. The method also includes increasing the temperature within the processing chamber to a third temperature significantly greater than the second temperature and significantly less than the first temperature while the processing chamber has no workpiece or carrier within.
