    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a plasma processing system for VHF plasma processing using a transmission antenna designed to enable a resonant VHF standing wave inside a plasma process chamber used to manufacture semiconductor devices. The system includes a transmission element capable of being electromagnetically coupled to incoming power lines connected to a power source. The transmission element, power transmission lines, and power source form a resonant circuit capable of enabling a VHF standing wave on the transmission element. The transmission element is folded back on itself to reduce the footprint of the antenna, such that the transmission element(s) can be located inside the plasma process chamber. The transmission antenna has three portions, with the first being electromagnetically coupled to the power transmission line, the second being coupled to plasma, and the third being a folded portion that reduces the transmission element's footprint.

    Abstract: This invention provides a tool for tightening and loosening lenses with respect to camera bodies. The tool includes a body that defines a cavity that is slightly larger in diameter than the sidewalls of the lens adjacent the lens face. Within the cavity is a thin, high-friction, elastomeric material that resides between the edges of the lens when the cavity is pressurably engaged over the lens face. The material frictionally couples the tool body to the lens face and adjacent side walls, thereby allowing a predetermined level of torque to be applied to tighten or loosen the lens. The tool can be adapted for attachment to a handle, such as a torque wrench or can include a handle specifically adapted/contoured for grasping by a user's hand.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a low pressure metal halide fluorescent lamp. The metal halide fluorescent lamp may have an oblate spheroid cavity discharge vessel filled with an ionizable metal halide surrounding an exciter housing. An exciter within the exciter housing may drive the ionizable metal halide in an inductively coupled electrode-less manner. One or more embodiments may include one or more heat spreaders and/or thermal transfer pipes for transferring heat from the exciter to a surface of the oblate discharge vessel.

    Abstract: System for irradiating the surface of a substrate with atomic or molecular ions by rapid scanning of a beam in two dimensions over the surface of the substrate. A scanning system is shown for deflecting the beam in two dimensions relative to a reference axis and a magnetic ion beam transport system following the scanning system is arranged to receive the beam from the scanning system over the range of two dimensional deflections of the scanning system and constructed to impose magnetic field conditions along the beam path of characteristics selected to reorient the two-dimensionally deflected beam to a direction having a predetermined desired relationship with the axis in the two dimensions at the desired instantaneous two dimensional displacement of the beam from the axis, to produce the desired scan of the beam over the substrate. One scanning system includes sequential first and second time-variable-field magnetic scanners, the first scanner having a magnetic gap of volume smaller than that of the second scanner and constructed to scan the beam more rapidly than the second scanner. In another system, the scanners are superposed. The magnetic ion beam transport system presently preferred is a system producing a sequence of three or more quadrupole fields, implemented by a sequence of quadrupoles. Alternate structures are disclosed. The system is capable of depositing atomic or molecular ions with a desired angular and positional uniformity over a wide range of perveance including perveance above 0.02/M[amu].sup.1/2 (mA//keV.sup.3/2) with a constant, adjustable spot size and small beam spread.

    Abstract: There is described an EHID lamp that comprises a field applicator, a means for coupling RF power to the field applicator, and a discharge vessel; the discharge vessel being disposed within the field applicator and containing a discharge medium; the field applicator being comprised of a solid, transparent or translucent dielectric material and having an optical control surface and a conductive coating that substantially covers its external surfaces. By combining functions served by otherwise individual components, the EHID lamp of this invention has the potential for reducing parts count, improving RF coupling to the plasma, reducing shadowing, and improving reliability.

    Abstract: An apparatus basically uses a simple and compact multi-axis magnetic lens to focus each of a plurality of charged particle beams on sample surface at the same time. In each sub-lens module of the multi-axis magnetic lens, two magnetic rings are respectively inserted into upper and lower holes with non-magnetic radial gap. Each gap size is small enough to keep a sufficient magnetic coupling and large enough to get a sufficient axial symmetry of magnetic scale potential distribution in the space near to its optical axis. This method eliminates the non-axisymmetric transverse field in each sub-lens and the round lens field difference among all sub-lenses at the same time; both exist inherently in a conventional multi-axis magnetic lens. In the apparatus, some additional magnetic shielding measures such as magnetic shielding tubes, plates and house are used to eliminate the non-axisymmetric transverse field on the charged particle path from each charged particle source to the entrance of each sub-lens and from the exit of each sub-lens to the sample surface.
