ABSTRACT:
A valve comprises a valve seat and a movable diaphragm. The valve seat defines a fluid orifice and is formed at least partially of polybenzimidazole. The diaphragm is sized and configured to bear against the fluid orifice to substantially block fluid flow through the orifice. The valve is advantageously used in a hot zone of a semiconductor processing system.
