A roll-to-roll CVD system includes at least two rollers that transport a web through a deposition chamber during CVD processing. The deposition chamber defines a passage for the web to pass through while being transported by the at least two rollers. The deposition chamber includes a plurality of process chambers that are isolated by barriers which maintain separate process chemistry in each of the plurality of process chambers. Each of the plurality of process chambers includes a gas input port and a gas exhaust port, and a plurality of CVD gas sources. At least two of the plurality of CVD gas sources is coupled to the gas input port of each of the plurality of process chambers.

Method and apparatus for processing a substrate with an energetic particle beam. Features on the substrate are oriented relative to the energetic particle beam and the substrate is scanned through the energetic particle beam. The substrate is periodically indexed about its azimuthal axis of symmetry, while shielded from exposure to the energetic particle beam, to reorient the features relative to the major dimension of the beam.

An improved planetary sputter deposition method for sputter depositing an alloy on a substrate wherein the sputter deposited amount, or thickness, of a specific material of the alloy can be controlled so that different substrates can be provided with an alloy having a different composition, i.e. having different percentages of the same materials, thus, reducing the costs of stockpiling multiple alloy targets. The method generally includes providing a substrate and a plurality of targets with each of the plurality of targets being composed of one or more magnetic materials. The targets are sputtered, in sequence, to deposit each of the materials of the plurality of targets on the substrate to provide at least one laminate defining an alloy.

An atomic layer deposition system is described that includes a deposition chamber. A first and second reaction chamber are positioned in the deposition chamber and contain a first and a second reactant species, respectively. A monolayer of the first reactant species is deposited on a substrate passing through the first reaction chamber. A monolayer of the second reactant species is deposited on a substrate passing through the second reaction chamber. A transport mechanism transports a substrate in a path through the first reaction chamber and through the second reaction chamber, thereby depositing a film on the substrate by atomic layer deposition. The shape of the first and the second reaction chambers are chosen to achieve a constant exposure of the substrate to reactant species when the transport mechanism transports the substrate in the path through the respective reaction chambers at the constant transport rate.

An acousto-optic tunable filter that includes a polarization beamsplitter, a multi-segment interaction region and a polarization beam combiner is described. The polarization beamsplitter generates a first and a second polarized optical signal. The multi-segment optical interaction region includes a first optical interaction region and a first acoustic wave generator that generates acoustic waves in the first optical interaction region. The multi-segment optical interaction region also includes a second optical interaction region that is non-collinear relative to the first optical interaction region and a second acoustic wave generator that generates acoustic waves in the second optical interaction region. Optical signals that are phase-matched to the acoustic waves are mode-converted in response to the acoustic waves. The acousto-optic tunable filter also includes a polarization beam combiner that generates both a mode-converted optical signal and a non-mode-converted optical signal.

A multi-layer sputter deposition chamber or cluster tool module is described. The sputter deposition chamber includes a plurality of magnetrons mounted on a rotatable member that defines an aperture. A predetermined one of the plurality of magnetrons is positionable proximate to a substrate in the sputter deposition chamber. A transport mechanism transports the substrate in a path of the sputtered ions in a first and a second direction that is substantially opposite to the first direction.

An ion source embodying the present invention is for use in an ion implanter. The ion source comprises a gas confinement chamber having conductive chamber walls that bound a gas ionization zone. The gas confinement chamber includes an exit opening to allow ions to exit the chamber. A base positions the gas confinement chamber relative to structure for forming an ion beam from ions exiting the gas confinement chamber. A gas supply is in communication with the gas confinement chamber for conducting an ionizable gas into the gas confinement chamber. A cathode is supported by the base and positioned with respect to said gas confinement chamber to emit ionizing electrons into the gas ionization zone. The cathode comprises a tubular conductive body that partially extends into the gas confinement chamber and includes a conductive cap that faces into the gas confinement chamber for emitting ionizing electrons into the gas confinement chamber. A filament is supported by the base at a position inside the tubular conductive body of the cathode for heating the cap and cause the ionizing electrons to be emitted from the cap into the gas confinement chamber.
