Abstract

A method includes identifying time values for a length of time to carry out process fluid delivery within multiple processing chambers that concurrently process multiple substrates; translating each time value to a recipe parameter for execution of an operation of a processing recipe; and causing the operation to be performed using each recipe parameter as a control value to control valves of a fluid panel of the multiple processing chambers. For each processing chamber of the multiple processing chambers, selectively controlling process fluid flow to the process chamber for a first period of time corresponding to a time value of the set of time values and to a divert foreline of the process chamber for a second period of time.
