    摘要: A wafer is carried on a blade supported on robotic arms. A plurality of guide clamps both move the wafer into a desired position on the blade and clamp the wafer in place during transport by the arms. The clamps are reciprocally mounted on the blade and are connected with and driven by a rotatable hub carried on the blade and rotated by the movement of the arms. Both the blade and the clamps include beveled surfaces that guide the wafer into place. The operation of the clamps is controlled by a laser that detects when the wafer is out of place or tilted on the blade.

    摘要: A method for forming a tube-based detector for signaling when a PVD target is reduced to a predetermined quantity of the PVD target material includes providing a mold member having an inner molding member and an outer molding member defining a space therebetween, melting a desired tube material, injecting the molten tube material into the space between the inner molding member and the outer molding member, cooling the molten tube material, removing the tube from the mold member after the molten tube material has cooled and solidified into a tube, embedding the tube in the physical vapor deposition target, wherein the tube forms an enclosure of the tube-based detector.

    摘要: A PVD target structure for use in physical vapor deposition. The PVD target structure includes a consumable slab of source material and one or more detectors for indicating when the slab of source material is approaching or has been reduced to a given quantity representing a service lifetime endpoint of the target structure. Each detector includes an enclosure which may be made by forming a plurality of bores in a bulk material and separating the bulk material into a plurality of discrete enclosure units each including one of the bores. Alternatively, the enclosure of the detector may be made using a mold having one or more mold members and an extrusion, casting, electrical chemical plating, and/or sheet forming method.
