Abstract:
The invention is directed to a configurable vaporizer or ampoule assembly that uses a configurable vessel body, assembled from one or more support tray modules with their own individual heating assemblies or heater members, bounded by a base member and a lid member to form the whole ampoule. This eliminates the need for the prior art ampoule body that normally holds the support trays and was used to heat each of the support trays from the exterior surface using heating jackets or the like.
Abstract:
A fluid supply system adapted for vacuum and pressure cycling of fluid, including a transfer vessel adapted to supply a process canister with fluid drawn from a bulk canister under a vacuum, wherein delivery of fluid from the transfer vessel to the process canister is accomplished with positive pressure. A method is also disclosed of delivering fluid, including drawing fluid under vacuum from a bulk canister and pressurizing the transfer vessel to effect dispensing of the fluid into a process canister for delivery to a location of use.
Abstract:
Systems, reagent support trays, particle suppression devices, and methods are disclosed. In one aspect, a system includes a vaporizer vessel having one or more interior walls enclosing an interior volume and a plurality of reagent support trays configured to be vertically stackable within the interior volume. Each of the plurality of reagent support trays is configured to be vertically stackable within the interior volume to form a stack of reagent support trays. One or more of the plurality of reagent support trays is configured to redirect a flow of a gas passing between adjacent reagent support trays in the stack of reagent support trays to cause the flow of gas to interact with the source reagent material in a particular reagent support tray before passing into a next of the plurality of reagent support trays in the stack of reagent support trays.
