Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A vapor deposition system comprises a vacuum chamber and two or more process modules each configured for processing a semiconductor substrate. Each process module is removably connected to a respective port of the vacuum chamber such that each process module is in vacuum communication with the vacuum chamber when connected to the respective port. A port sealing mechanism is configured to create a vacuum seal at each port such that when a first port is sealed and a first process module is disconnected from the first port, a vacuum condition is maintained within the vacuum chamber while the first process module is open to atmospheric pressure.
