    摘要: A linear processing system having an entry loadlock, a first multi-pass processing chamber coupled to the entry loadlock, the first multi-pass processing chamber having a sputtering magnetron arrangement and configured to house a single substrate carrier for performing a multi-pass processing; a single-pass chamber coupled to the first multi-pass processing chamber and having a plurality of magnetron arrangements arranged along a carrier travel direction, the single-pass chamber configured to house multiple carriers arranged serially in a row and configured for a single-pass processing; a second multi-pass processing chamber coupled to the single-pass processing chamber, the second multi-pass processing chamber having a sputtering magnetron arrangement and configured to house a single substrate carrier for performing a multi-pass processing; and an exit loadlock chamber coupled to the second multi-pass processing chamber.

    摘要: A processing system is provided, including a vacuum enclosure having a plurality of process windows and a continuous track positioned therein; a plurality of processing chambers attached sidewalls of the vacuum enclosures, each processing chamber about one of the process windows; a loadlock attached at one end of the vacuum enclosure and having a loading track positioned therein; at least one gate valve separating the loadlock from the vacuum enclosure; a plurality of substrate carriers configured to travel on the continuous track and the loading track; at least one track exchanger positioned within the vacuum enclosure, the track exchangers movable between a first position, wherein substrate carriers are made to continuously move on the continuous track, and a second position wherein the substrate carriers are made to transfer between the continuous track and the loading track.

    摘要: A multi-color dielectric coating is formed using interleaved layers of dielectric material, having alternating refractive index, to create reflections at selected wavelengths, thus appearing as different colors. Etching of selected layers at selected locations changes the color appearance of the etched locations, thus generating a coating having multiple colors. The thicknesses of the layers are chosen such that the path-length differences for reflections from different high-index layers are integer multiples of the wavelength for which the coating is designed.

    摘要: A system for processing substrates in plasma chambers, such that all substrates transport and loading/unloading operations are performed in atmospheric environment, but processing is performed in vacuum environment. The substrates are transported throughout the system on carriers. The system's chambers are arranged linearly, such that carriers move from one chamber directly to the next. A conveyor, placed above or below the system's chambers, returns the carriers to the system's entry area after processing is completed. Loading and unloading of substrates may be performed at one side of the system, or loading can be done at the entry side and unloading at the exit side.

    摘要: System and method to align a substrate under a shadow mask. A substrate holder has alignment mechanism, such as rollers, that is made to abut against an alignment straight edge. The substrate is then aligned with respect to the straight edge and is chucked to the substrate holder. The substrate holder is then transported into a vacuum processing chamber, wherein it is made to abut against a mask straight edge to which the shadow mask is attached and aligned to. Since the substrate was aligned to an alignment straight edge, and since the mask is aligned to the mask straight edge that is precisely aligned to the alignment straight edge, the substrate is perfectly aligned to the mask.
