An adsorption-desorption apparatus, for storage and dispensing of a sorbable gas, wherein a carbon physical sorbent medium bearing the adsorbed gas to be selectively dispensed is delivered by pressure differential desorption and/or thermal desorption of the sorbate gas from the sorbent material. The carbon sorbent material preferably comprises a material which is characterized by a Sorbent Working Capacity, measured for arsine at 40 Torr and at 650 Torr, of at least 100 grams arsine per liter of bed of the sorbent material, e.g., a carbon sorbent material having the adsorption isotherm characteristic of curve A in FIG. 1 herein.
摘要:
A capacity increase and/or pressure decrease of gas in a gas storage and dispensing vessel is achieved by use of a physical adsorbent having sorptive affinity for the gas. Such approach enables conventional high pressure gas cylinders to be redeployed with contained sorbent, to achieve substantial enhancement of safety and capacity.
摘要:
A process for recovery of fluorocompound gas from an effluent gas stream containing the fluorocompound gas and other gas components, in which at least one of the other gas components is removed, e.g., by oxidation or contacting of the effluent stream with a dry material such as an adsorbent or scrubber medium, to yield a first effluent gas mixture containing the fluorocompound gas. The fluorocompound gas is removed from the first effluent gas mixture and recovered as a concentrated fluorocompound gas, by a process such as cryogenic processing, membrane separation, and/or adsorption.

A point-of-use catalytic oxidation system, for treatment of a VOC-containing gas stream, including: a heat exchanger for heat exchange of a VOC-containing gas stream and a VOC-reduced gas stream at higher temperature than the VOC-containing gas stream, for heat recovery from the VOC-reduced gas stream for cooling thereof, to preheat the VOC-containing gas stream; a supplemental heater for supplemental heating of preheated VOC-containing gas, if and as required, to an elevated temperature for catalytic oxidation of VOC therein; and a bed of catalytic oxidizer material for catalytic oxidation of VOC in the VOC-containing gas stream, to yield the VOC-reduced gas stream. The heat exchanger, supplemental heater, and bed of catalytic oxidizer material are sized, constructed, arranged, and operated to effect autothermal catalytic oxidation of VOC in the bed of catalytic oxidizer material. The system may further employ a smoother to attenuate influent VOC spikes in the feed gas, and/or a concentrator to concentrate the feed gas VOC species for high efficiency VOC removal in the catalytic oxidation.
摘要:
A process for fabricating an electronic device structure on or in a substrate. A storage and dispensing vessel is provided, containing a solid-phase physical sorbent medium having physically adsorbed thereon a fluid for fabrication of the electronic device structure, e.g., a source fluid for a material constituent of the electronic device structure, or a reagent such as an etchant or mask material which is utilized in the fabrication of the electronic device structure but does not compose or form a material constituent of the electronic device structure. In the process, the source fluid is desorbed from the physical sorbent medium and dispensing source fluid from the storage and dispensing vessel, and contacted with the substrate, under conditions effective to utilize the material constituent on or in the substrate. The contacting step of the process may include process steps such as ion implantation; epitaxial growth; plasma etching; reactive ion etching; metallization; physical vapor deposition; chemical vapor deposition; cleaning; doping; etc. The process of the invention may be employed to fabricate electronic device structures such as transistors; capacitors; resistors; memory cells; dielectric material; buried doped substrate regions; metallization layers; channel stop layers; source layers; gate layers; drain layers; oxide layers; field emitter elements; passivation layers; interconnects; polycides; electrodes; trench structures; ion implanted material layers; via plugs; precursor structures for the foregoing electronic device structures; and device assemblies comprising more than one of the foregoing electronic device structures. The electronic device structure fabricated by such process may in turn may be employed as a component of an electronic product such as a telecommunications device or electronic appliance.

摘要:
Scavenger compositions are disclosed, which have utility for effecting the sorptive removal of hazardous gases containing Group II-VII elements of the Periodic Table, such as are widely encountered in the manufacture of semiconducting materials and semiconductor devices. Gas sorption processes including the contacting of Group II-VII gaseous compounds with such scavenger compositions are likewise disclosed, together with critical space velocity contacting conditions pertaining thereto.
