摘要:
Apparatus and methods to minimize wafer-to-wafer process variation in RF-based semiconductor processing reactors with shared RF source for multiple processing areas. RF sensors associated with each processing area sends signal to the RF balance controller. The controller modifies station impedance using power adjustment mechanisms. As a result, station to station distribution of a selected RF parameter (e.g., load power) may match the station set points. Closed loop control maintains balance despite changing conditions.

Methods and hardware for generating variable-density plasmas are described. For example, in one embodiment, a process station comprises a showerhead including a showerhead electrode and a substrate holder including a mesa configured to support a substrate, wherein the substrate holder is disposed beneath the showerhead. The substrate holder includes an inner electrode disposed in an inner region of the substrate holder and an outer electrode being disposed in an outer region of the substrate holder. The process station further comprises a plasma generator configured to generate a plasma in a plasma region disposed between the showerhead and the substrate holder, and a controller configured to control the plasma generator, the inner electrode, the outer electrode, and the showerhead electrode to effect a greater plasma density in an outer portion of the plasma region than in an inner portion of the plasma region.

Systems and methods for an upgradeable and/or reconfigurable receiver are provided. In general, the present invention is directed to providing systems and methods for designing an electronic communication system having easy and cost effective upgradeable receiver systems and components including, for example, an amplifier and/or a filter. For example, a receiver may include a receiver front end that is configured so that at least one of the original conventional system components may be used along with one or more new system components to provide greater receiver sensitivity and/or selectivity. In various embodiments, portions of an upgradeable receiver system may be made as modular components that allow easy replacement for the upgradeable components which may include a signal amplifier and/or a signal filter. In various embodiments the receiver may be upgraded by replacing a conventional low noise amplifier (LNA) with a high temperature superconductor (HTS) filter and/or a cryo-cooled LNA.

A shoe that contains two zippers or two series of hook and loop strips as well as two tongues is disclosed. The zippers or two series of hook and loop strips are positioned in the location where one would typically see the eyelets from shoes located. The two tongues are present both for comfort and for aesthetics.
