ABSTRACT:
The equipment comprises a semiconductor-processing device in which a load-lock chamber, a transfer chamber and a reaction chamber are modularized into, a main frame, a stand-alone chamber frame on which the semiconductor-processing device is placed, a sliding mechanism for enabling attaching/removing of the chamber frame to/from the main frame smoothly, and a positioning mechanism for fixing a position of the chamber frame. This enables the processing device to be attached and removed at will. The method comprises pulling out from the main frame the chamber frame, on which the modularized semiconductor-processing device is placed; forming a maintenance space inside the main frame; maintaining the semiconductor-processing device and peripherals attached in the vicinity of the main frame, and putting the chamber frame with the processing device back into the main frame.
