Abstract

On décrit un appareil comportant un support (223, 225) et une alimentation de gaz purgeur (241) qui empêche le revêtement marginal et arrière d'une tranche (227) dans la fabrication de circuits intégrés. On décrit également divers éléments de type boîtiers et des procédés prévus respectivement pour contenir et diriger le gaz purgeur, ainsi qu'un système de déposition chimique en phase vapeur (DCV) incorporant les éléments de l'invention.
