    摘要: A method of manufacturing a fuel cell includes applying a sacrificial material periodically to a surface of an anode substrate, wherein at least some areas of the anode substrate have no sacrificial material. A first gas diffusion layer is applied to the sacrificial material, and a first catalyst material is applied to the first gas diffusion layer. An electrolyte material is applied to the anode substrate and the first gas diffusion layer, with the catalyst material, wherein a first surface of the electrolyte material is in operative association with the anode substrate, and the first gas diffusion layer. A second catalyst material is applied to the second surface of the electrolyte material. A second gas diffusion layer is applied to the electrolyte material on a second surface of the electrolyte material, with the catalyst material, wherein a first surface of the second gas diffusion layer is in contact with the second surface of the electrolyte material with the catalyst material. A cathode is applied to the second gas diffusion layer with the second catalyst material, and the sacrificial material is then removed from the surface of the anode substrate to create integrated gas channels for the manufactured fuel cell.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method for forming a tungsten-containing material on a substrate is provided which includes forming a tungsten nucleation layer by sequentially exposing a substrate to a boron-containing gas and a tungsten-containing gas within a processing chamber during an atomic layer deposition process, and forming a tungsten bulk layer on the tungsten nucleation layer by exposing the substrate to a processing gas that contains the tungsten-containing gas and a reactive precursor gas within another processing chamber during a chemical vapor deposition process. In one example, the tungsten nucleation layer is deposited on a dielectric material, such as silicon oxide. In another example, the tungsten nucleation layer is deposited on a barrier material, such as titanium or titanium nitride. Other examples provide that the tungsten nucleation layer and the tungsten bulk layer are deposited in the same processing chamber.

    摘要: This invention provides a method and apparatus for supporting a wafer in a processing chamber, where the wafer is supported and heated from below via a heater pedestal having a diameter larger than that of the wafer. A process fluid flowing downward toward the top of the wafer is inhibited from depositing near the wafer edge by a shadow ring. The shadow ring, which is placed over but does not contact the wafer, physically masks an annular strip of the wafer near its edge. The shadow ring inhibits deposition of process fluides on the wafer in two distinct ways. First, the shadow ring physically obstructs process gas, flowing downward from above the wafer, from depositing on the masked portion of the wafer. Second, the shadow ring is used to direct a flow of a purge gas to inhibit process gas from seeping under the shadow ring and depositing near the wafer edge. A purge gas manifold is defined by a cylindrical annulus located concentrically below the shadow ring and circumscribing the heater pedestal. A purge gap between the wafer and the shadow ring forms the outlet of the purge gas manifold. The purge gas flows out of the purge gap, inhibiting the process gas from entering the purge gap, and thus further inhibiting deposition on the masked portion of the wafer.
