The present invention provides a system of processing one or more substrates with very high efficiency. The processing system in descriptions comprises a first process chamber with various features to improve efficiency and a transfer chamber that couples to the first process chamber with various features to improve efficiency. In addition, a second process chamber and load-locks may be used to improve efficiency furthermore. This system can increases number of the substrates in processing chamber, enable multiple processes and process sequences to be carried out in the same system, and provide high throughput substrate processing.
