Zusammenfassung:Process chamber gas flow control apparatus may include, or be included in, a process chamber configured to process a substrate therein. The gas flow control apparatus may include a valve configured to seal an exhaust port in the process chamber. The valve may be moveable in the X, Y, and Z directions relative to the exhaust port to adjust a gas flow pattern (including, e.g., flow rate and/or flow uniformity) within the process chamber. Methods of adjusting a flow of a process gas within a process chamber are also provided, as are other aspects. 处理腔室气流控制设备可包含处理腔室或被包含于处理腔室,所述处理腔室经配置以在处理腔室中处理基板。所述气流控制设备可包含阀,所述阀经配置以密封所述处理腔室中的排气口。所述阀可在X、Y及Z方向上相对于所述排气口为可移动的,以调整所述处理腔室内的气流模式(包含,例如,流动速率和/或流动均匀性)。调整处理腔室内处理气体流动的方法也被提供,如同其它方面。
