Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for adjusting a process chamber volume are described. For example, a process chamber, after removing at least a component used to perform a function associated with the process chamber, may be installed with a fixture to adjust a volume of the process chamber. The process chamber with the fixture may reduce the amount of precursor gases and processing time for coating a workpiece. The workpiece, after the coating, may be placed in another process chamber to perform a function associated with the other process chamber.
