    摘要: A method and an apparatus are disclosed for sputter deposition of an insulating material on a substrate (3) in a continuous mode of operation. A novel design for an anode assembly and driving power supply is disclosed to permit this. Single or multiple anodes (11 and 12) are used, which at any given time may be biased negatively with respect to the plasma (2), so that any insulating material which may have been deposited thereupon may be sputtered away so as to provide a clean positive anode to the system, and at least for some period of time is biased positively so that it acts as an anode. The removal of any insulating material which may have formed on the anode structure permits its continuing effective use in collecting electrons from the plasma when it is biased positively, and therefore its continuing effective use as an anode for the system, permitting continuous operation of the system.

    摘要: Circuitry and methods for regulating alternating current regulation uses energy storage and release principles to boost or buck voltage to permit regulated ac operation with parallel and series bi-directional switch elements (12) and (13) operated at either variable duty cycles or frequencies to accommodate bipolar ac operation. Each bi-directional switch element may include a diode bridge (8) or (10) and directionally limited switches such as semiconductor switches. The system can be used to regulate ac even during sub-cycle dips, can be used to simulate controlled dips, can be used to correct power factor for loads, and can be applied in multiphase operations.

    摘要: An induction heating system using a plurality of zones (7, 8, and 9) in a coil (1) provides selective heating control for better uniformity especially for semiconductor and other thin film processing applications. By arranging the zones (7, 8, and 9) to have different resonance frequencies, the power supply (20) may control the various zones (7, 8, and 9) by altering its frequency output. The power supply (20) may also act to control the differential heating by switching among zones in conjunction with the frequency control, by sweeping through a variety of frequencies, by simultaneously providing power over different frequencies, by altering the residence time at each frequency, or by outputting different powers to each frequency or the like. Each zone may thus be tuned as appropriate to achieve the desired induction heating characteristic.
