摘要:
An absorbent article with topsheet, backsheet and absorbent core having an embossment region on the body facing side thereof and two spaced apart, longitudinally extending depression regions on the garment facing side thereof, including an adhesive pattern applied by a spray method directly onto the backsheet that intersects the depression regions and a release paper operatively attached to the adhesive pattern.

A seal ring for an electrochemical processor does not slip or deflect laterally when pressed against a wafer surface. The seal ring may be on a rotor of the processor, with the seal ring having an outer wall joined to a tip arc through an end. The outer wall may be a straight wall. A relatively rigid support ring may be attached to the seal ring, to provide a more precise sealing dimension. Knife edge seal rings that slip or deflect laterally on the wafer surface may also be used. In these designs, the slipping is substantially uniform and consistent, resulting in improved performance.

In a workpiece processor, a head is moveable onto a bowl to form a process chamber. A workpiece can be cleaned in the processor by immersing the workpiece into a liquid bath in the bowl and then boiling the liquid. Vacuum may be applied to the chamber to reduce the pressure within the chamber, thereby reducing the boiling temperature of the liquid and allowing processing at lower temperatures. In a separate method for prewetting a workpiece, a humid gas is provided into the process chamber and condenses on the workpiece. In another separate method for wetting a workpiece, liquid water is provided into the bowl, with the workpiece above the liquid water. Water vapor is created in the process chamber by applying vacuum to the process chamber. The vapor wets the workpiece. The workpiece is then further wetted by submerging the workpiece into the liquid water.
摘要:
Apparatus and methods for electrochemically processing microfeature wafers. The apparatus can have a vessel including a processing zone in which a microfeature wafer is positioned for electrochemical processing. The apparatus further includes at least one counter electrode in the vessel that can operate as an anode or a cathode depending upon the particular plating or electropolishing application. The apparatus further includes a supplementary electrode and a supplementary virtual electrode. The supplementary electrode is configured to operate independently from the counter electrode in the vessel, and it can be a thief electrode and/or a de-plating electrode depending upon the type of process. The supplementary electrode can further be used as another counter electrode during a portion of a plating cycle or polishing cycle. The supplementary virtual electrode is located in the processing zone, and it is configured to counteract an electric field offset relative to the wafer associated with an offset between the wafer and the counter electrode in the vessel when the wafer is in the processing zone.
