A process chamber configurable for the execution of discrete subprocesses in a substrate coating process such as photolithography. Two vertically staggered rings disposed within the process chamber channel a flow of gas through the chamber and retain fluent chemical within the process environment. A replaceable liner further enables reconfiguration of the chamber. The chamber is used for low-velocity dispensing of fluent process chemical onto the substrate surface with a laminar exhaust gas flow through ventilation passages formed about the rings. The chamber is also used during high-velocity spinning of the substrate for even process chemical distribution in a solvent saturated atmosphere. The ventilation passages enable high exhaust flow through the chamber while minimizing the direct impingement of exhaust air on the substrate.
