摘要： Methods for depositing materials onto micro-device workpieces in a reaction chamber. One embodiment of such a method comprises providing a flow of a first precursor through the reaction chamber to deposit the first precursor onto the micro-device workpiece in the reaction chamber, and providing a flow of a purge gas through the reaction chamber to purge excess amounts of the first precursor. The method continues by monitoring a parameter correlated to a quantity of the first precursor and/or the purge gas in the reaction chamber as the first precursor and/or the purge gas flows through the reaction chamber. An additional aspect of this method is terminating the flow of the first precursor and/or the flow of the purge gas based on the monitored parameter of the quantity of the first precursor and/or the purge gas. The procedure of monitoring a parameter correlated to a quantity of the first precursor and/or the purge gas can comprise determining a concentration of the first precursor and/or the purge gas in the reaction chamber using a selected radiation.

摘要： Reactors for vapor deposition of materials onto a microelectronic workpiece, systems that include such reactors, and methods for depositing materials onto microelectronic workpieces. In one embodiment, a reactor for vapor deposition of a material comprises a reaction chamber and a gas distributor. The reaction chamber can include an inlet and an outlet. The gas distributor is positioned in the reaction chamber. The gas distributor has a compartment coupled to the inlet to receive a gas flow and a distributor plate including a first surface facing the compartment, a second surface facing the reaction chamber, and a plurality of passageways. The passageways extend through the distributor plate from the first surface to the second surface. Additionally, at least one of the passageways has at least a partially occluded flow path through the plate. For example, the occluded passageway can be canted at an oblique angle relative to the first surface of the distributor plate so that gas flowing through the canted passageway changes direction as it passes through the distributor plate.

摘要： A method and apparatus for delivering precursors to a chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition chamber is provided. The apparatus includes a temperature-controlled vessel containing a precursor. An energy source is used to vaporize the precursor at its surface such that substantially no thermal decomposition of the remaining precursor occurs. The energy source may include a carrier gas, a radio frequency coupling device, or an infrared irradiation source. After the precursor is exposed to the energy source, the vaporized portion of the precursor is transported via a temperature-controlled conduit to a chemical vapor deposition or atomic deposition chamber for further processing.

摘要： Battery mounting apparatuses, electronic devices, and methods of forming electrical connections are described. In one implementation, a flexible circuit substrate has an area within which an electrical component, e.g. a thin-profile battery terminal housing member, is to be adhered. A conductive contact node pattern is disposed within the area and sized to be conductively adhered with the component. In one aspect, the conductive contact node pattern comprises an outer conductive node on the substrate at least a portion of which is positioned within the outermost 25% of the area. An electrical component is conductively bonded with the contact node pattern and encapsulating material is provided over and underneath the component. In a preferred aspect, the substrate and electrical component are vacuum processed sufficiently to redistribute the encapsulating material under the component. The positioning of the contact node pattern provides sufficient support during vacuum processing such that any tendency of the substrate to become lodged against the component is reduced, if not eliminated.
