Abstract

A frame supporting a containment chamber, the containment chamber is preferably configured to enclose and confine a process chamber. A heat source module is disposed between the containment chamber and the process chamber, while a thermal regulation cavity is maintained between the heat source module and the process chamber. Preferably, at least one fluid inlet box is in fluidic communication with the thermal regulation cavity, in which the fluid inlet box provides a plate valve that mitigates the flow of fluids from the thermal regulation cavity through the fluid inlet box and to an environment external to the thermal regulation cavity. Additionally, the preferred fluid inlet box further includes a flow adjustment structure interacting with the plate valve to control fluid flow from the environment external to the thermal regulation cavity past the plate valve and into thermal regulation cavity.

In an alternate exemplary embodiment, the method of forming a thermal diffusion chamber includes at least the following steps: providing a support, supporting a containment chamber on the support, and disposing a heat source module in the containment chamber. Positioning with the heat source module allows the processing chamber to be enclosed, constrained, and supported in the heat source module, which forms a thermal conditioning cavity between the heat source module and the processing chamber. With the formation of the thermal conditioning cavity, the next step includes securing at least one fluid inlet tank to the containment chamber in flow communication with the thermal conditioning cavity, wherein the fluid inlet tank provides a flat valve that slows down from the thermal regulation a flow of fluid through the fluid inlet tank and to an environment external to the heat conditioning cavity, and wherein the fluid inlet tank further includes interacting with the flat valve to control an external environment from the thermal conditioning cavity through the slab The valve' and the flow regulating structure of the fluid flow into the thermal conditioning cavity.
