摘要:
A method and apparatus for forming a sheet are disclosed. A melt is cooled and a sheet is formed on the melt. This sheet has a first thickness. The sheet is then thinned from the first thickness to a second thickness using, for example, a heater or the melt. The cooling may be configured to allow solutes to be trapped in a region of the sheet and this particular sheet may be thinned and the solutes removed. The melt may be, for example, silicon, silicon and germanium, gallium, or gallium nitride.

A high voltage insulator for preventing instability in an ion implanter due to triple junction breakdown is described. In one embodiment, there is an apparatus for preventing triple junction instability in an ion implanter. In this embodiment, there is a first metal electrode and a second metal electrode. An insulator is disposed between the first metal electrode and the second metal electrode. The insulator has at least one surface between the first metal electrode and the second metal electrode that is exposed to a vacuum that transports an ion beam generated by the ion implanter. A first conductive layer is located between the first metal electrode and the insulator. The first conductive layer prevents triple junction breakdown from occurring at an interface of the first electrode, insulator and vacuum. A second conductive layer is located between the second metal electrode and the insulator opposite the first conductive layer. The second conductive layer prevents triple junction breakdown from occurring at an interface of the second electrode, insulator and vacuum.
摘要:
A wafer processing apparatus includes a processing chamber having a top chamber portion and a bottom chamber portion, respectively. The apparatus further includes an annular ring valve associated with one of the top chamber portion and the bottom chamber portion which is operable to close the processing chamber for processing in a first position and open the processing chamber for access thereto in a second position. The ring valve, in the first position, provides a substantially uniform surface about an inner periphery of the closed processing chamber, and thereby facilitates uniform processing conditions. A method of accessing a wafer processing apparatus is also disclosed and includes moving an annular ring valve within a processing chamber between two positions. In the first position the annular ring valve sealingly blocks an access port of the processing chamber and thereby prohibits access thereto, and in the second position the annular ring valve does not block the access port, and permits access to the processing chamber. The annular ring valve has a substantially uniform inner peripheral surface, and thereby facilitates uniform processing conditions within the processing chamber when in the first position.

A novel technique for manufacturing bit patterned media is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized as a method for manufacturing bit pattern media. The technique, which may be realized as a method comprising: forming a non-catalysis region on a first portion of a catalysis layer; forming a non-magnetic separator on the non-catalysis region; and forming a magnetic active region on a second portion of the catalysis layer adjacent to the first portion of the catalysis layer.
摘要:
A sheet of a material is disposed in a melt of the material. The sheet is formed using a cooling plate in one instance. An exciting coil and sensing coil are positioned downstream of the cooling plate. The exciting coil and sensing coil use eddy currents to determine a thickness of the solid sheet on top of the melt.
摘要:
A media carrier, adapted to hold a plurality of pieces of magnetic media, is disclosed. This media carrier can be placed on the workpiece support, or platen, allowing the magnetic media to be processed. In some embodiments, the media carrier is designed such that only one side of the magnetic media is exposed, requiring a robot or other equipment to invert each piece of media in the carrier to process the second side. In other embodiments, the media carrier is designed such that both sides of the magnetic media are exposed. In this scenario, the media carrier is inverted on the platen to allow processing of the second side.

A technique for limiting fault current transmission is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized with a fault current limiter comprising a core having at least first easy axis and a hard axis; and a first coil wound around the core, the first coil configured to carry current. In some embodiment, the easy axis of the core may be aligned with H fields generated by the current transmitted through the first coil.
摘要:
A melt of a material is cooled and a sheet of the material is formed in the melt. This sheet is transported, cut into at least one segment, and cooled in a cooling chamber. The material may be Si, Si and Ge, Ga, or GaN. The cooling is configured to prevent stress or strain to the segment. In one instance, the cooling chamber has gas cooling.
