Abstract
Systems for processing articles are essential for semiconductor fabrication. In one embodiment, a system is disclosed comprising a plurality of fluid supplies configured to supply process fluids, a plurality of apparatuses for controlling flow, a plurality of mounting substrates, a vacuum manifold fluidly coupled to the plurality of mounting substrates, an outlet manifold fluidly coupled to the plurality of mounting substrates, a vacuum source fluidly coupled to the vacuum manifold, and a processing chamber fluidly coupled to the outlet manifold. The plurality of apparatuses for controlling flow have a bleed port and an outlet. The outlets of the plurality of apparatuses are fluidly coupled to corresponding outlet ports of the plurality of mounting substrates. The bleed ports of the plurality of apparatuses are fluidly coupled to the corresponding vacuum ports of the plurality of mounting substrates.
