ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for processing a thin film on a substrate. The method involves locating the substrate in a first rotational position a location opposed to a process station. The process station has a first axis and is arranged for processing the substrate about that axis. The substrate location is symmetrical about a second axis parallel to but offset from the first axis. The substrate is rotated about an axis generally orthogonal and passing through the wafer location to a second rotational position after an initial process and further processing takes place when the substrate is in the second rotational position.
