摘要:
A method of forming a high flux of activated species, such as ions, of an energy transferring gas by employing a substantial pressure differential between a first conduit in which the energy transferring gas is introduced into a vacuumized enclosure and the background pressure which exits in said enclosure. In one embodiment, the flow rate of the energy transferring gas flowing through said first conduit, when taken in conjunction with said pressure differential, causes the high flux of activated species of the energy transferring gas to collide with a precursor deposition/etchant gas, remotely introduced into the enclosure through a second conduit, for forming deposition/etchant species therefrom. In an alternate embodiment, the pressure differential causes those activated species, themselves, to be either deposited upon or etched away from the surface of a remotely positioned substrate.
摘要:
A method of depositing high quality thin film at a high rate of deposition through the formation of a high flux of activated precursor species of a precursor deposition gas by employing a substantial pressure differential between the pressure adjacent the aperture in a conduit from which said precursor deposition gas is introduced into the interior of a vacuumized enclosure and the background pressure which exits in said enclosure. As the precursor deposition gas is introduced into said enclosure, a high density plume of said activated precursor species are formed therefrom due to an electromagnetic field established in an activation region adjacent said aperture. The pressure differential is sufficient to cause those activated precursor species to be deposited upon a remotely positioned substrate. In order to obtain a sufficient pressure differential, it is preferred that the flow of the precursor deposition gas reaches transonic velocity. And in order to obtain a high quality thin film, it is preferred that the plume of activated precursor species is spaced from the substrate; without structural or electrical confinement, a distance from the activation region greater than the mean free path of undesired activated precursor species and within the mean free path of desired species.

摘要:
A window assembly for transmitting relatively high power microwave energy from a waveguide, held at substantially atmospheric pressure levels, into a microwave reaction chamber at sub-atmospheric pressure levels. The window assembly provides for the transmission of microwave energy to generate a glow discharge plasma without suffering from catastrophic failure as a result of excessive temperature and pressure conditions.

摘要:
Microwave energy apparatus adapted to sustain a substantially uniform plasma over a relatively large area. In the broadest form of the invention, an isolating window is disposed about the microwave applicator, said isolating window formed from a material through which the microwave energy can be transmitted from the applicator into a plasma reaction vessel and said isolating window configured in a shape which is substantially optimized to withstand compressive forces. In this manner, the thickness of the isolating window may be minimized to provide for rapid thermal cooling, wherby high power densities may be achieved without cracking the window.

The present invention discloses a fire resistant laminate and incorporating the laminate into an encapsulant for a photovoltaic module that may be used in a photovoltaic building material. More particularly, the present invention relates to fire resistant encapsulant that may be used in a triple junction amorphous silicon photovoltaic module that is fire resistant on a wide variety of buildings roofs, including residential housing, and that is flexible and lightweight. A fire resistant additive, such as solid glass spheres, may be added to encapsulant material to produce a fire resistant, cut resistant, lightweight photovoltaic device.
摘要:
A method of heating in a vacuum atmosphere in the presence of a plasma, comprises the following steps: a) providing infrared radiation means (16) in a vacuum chamber (10); b) providing a first electrical conductor (18) to the infrared radiation means (16); c) providing a second electrical conductor (20) from the infrared radiation means (16); d) putting an electrical voltage over said infrared radiation means (16); e) preventing the first conductor (18) and the second conductor (20) from having an electrical voltage above +55 Volt. The advantage is that arcing is avoided.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is an improved gas gate for interconnecting regions of differing gaseous composition and/or pressure, more particularly between atmosphere and a vacuum. The gas gate includes a cylinder within a housing situated between the regions of differing gaseous pressure, wherein the gas gate provides for choke mode transonic flow of air leaks between the regions. A web of substrate material is adapted to move between the regions with at least one roller in a first region and at least one roller in a second region. The rollers are positioned to create sufficient tension as the web advances over the top peripheral portion of the cylinder between the two regions or under the bottom peripheral portion of the cylinder between the two regions.
