Abstract

Embodiments generally relate to gas circuits for distributing gases for processing of substrates applicable for semiconductor manufacturing. In one or more embodiments, flow controllers of a gas circuit are used to stabilize, distribute, and switch gases for processing of substrates applicable for semiconductor manufacturing. In one or more embodiments, a gas circuit includes one or more first flow controllers operable to flow a first gas, one or more second flow controllers operable to flow a second gas, and one or more valve assemblies. The valve assembl(ies) include a first supply line connected to a respective first flow controller and a second supply line connected to a respective second flow controller. The gas circuit further includes a plurality of valves operable to open and close the respective flow of the first gas and the second gas received from the first flow controller(s) and the second flow controller(s).
