    摘要: A gas filtration apparatus and method comprises a housing with an inlet for gas to enter and an outlet for the gas to exit. The housing contains a filter comprised of sintered metal fibers having an active filtration area through which the gas flows to remove suspended particles from the gas. The filter is substantially uniform in thickness and porosity through the active filtration area. The filter media being sealed to a metal structure in the housing with the metal structure having an opening to permit gas to flow through. A method of making a vapor/gas mixture includes the steps of producing a vapor in a gas to form the vapor/gas mixture passing the vapor/gas mixture through an opening in a housing containing a filter comprised of sintered metal fibers through which the vapor/gas mixture flows.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for forming a droplet aerosol for vaporization and subsequent thin film deposition on a substrate. The apparatus includes a mechanism to control the rate of liquid flow through the apparatus, the mechanism including a piezoelectric actuator to adjust the rate of liquid flow and an atomizing mechanism drawing gas from a compressed gas source such that when the gas source conjoins with the liquid, the liquid is atomized to form droplets suspended in the gas thereby forming a droplet aerosol suitable for subsequent thin film deposition on a substrate. The method includes drawing a gas from a compressed gas source and drawing a liquid from a liquid source. The liquid and gas are conjoined in either a coaxial flow relationship or a radial flow relationship or an angular relationship between radial and coaxial flow wherein the gas engages the liquid to form droplets suitable for vaporization and subsequent thin film deposition on a substrate.

    摘要: A method for detecting particles in a gas by saturating the gas with vapor and causing the gas to flow through a chamber with walls that are at a temperature different than the temperature of the entering gas creating a gas turbulence within the chamber resulting in the gas becoming super-saturated with vapor and causing said super-saturated vapor to condense on said particles and form droplets, which are then detected and counted by an optical light-scattering detector.

    摘要: This disclosure pertains to a method and apparatus to permit changing a filter on the input line to a vacuum deposition chamber without breaking or reducing the vacuum for the deposition chamber and other components in the deposition system. Isolation valves are provided at the inlet and outlet of the filter so the filter can be isolated from the source of vacuum and the deposition chamber for removal and replacement of the filter.
