摘要:
A wafer processing device or apparatus, i.e., a heater or an electrostatic chuck, comprises a planar support platen, a support shaft having centrally located bore, and a pair of electrical conductors located in the shaft. In one embodiment, the electrical conductors are concentrically located within the bore of the shaft, with the first electrical lead being in the form of a pyrolytic graphite rod and separated from the outer second graphite electrical lead by means of a pyrolytic boron nitride (pBN) coating. In a second embodiment, the support platen and the support shaft are formed from a single unitary body of graphite. In yet another embodiment of the device of the invention, the connection posts comprise a carbon fiber composite and the exposed ends of the electrical connectors are coated with a protective ceramic paste for extended life in operations.

A composite coating for use on semi-conductor processing components, comprising a refractory metal carbide coating with its surface modified by at least one of: a) a carbon donor source for a stabilized stoichiometry, and b) a layer of nitride, carbonitride or oxynitride of elements selected from a group B, Al, Si, refractory metals, transition metals, rare earth metals which may or may not contain electrically conducting pattern, and wherein the metal carbide is selected from the group consisting of silicon carbide, tantalum carbide, titanium carbide, tungsten carbide, silicon oxycarbide, zirconium carbide, hafnium carbide, lanthanum carbide, vanadium carbide, niobium carbide, magnesium carbide, chromium carbide, molybdenum carbide, beryllium carbide and mixtures thereof. The composite coating is characterized as having an improved corrosion resistance property and little emissivity sensitivity to wavelengths used in optical pyrometry under the normal semi-conductor processing environments.

摘要:
A wafer processing apparatus is fabricated by depositing a film electrode onto the surface of a base substrate, the structure is then overcoated with a protective coating film layer comprising at least one of a nitride, carbide, carbonitride or oxynitride of elements selected from a group consisting of B, Al, Si, Ga, refractory hard metals, transition metals, and combinations thereof. The film electrode has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that closely matches the CTE of the underlying base substrate layer as well as the CTE of the protective coating layer.

摘要:
A composite armor including a disrupting layer and a backing layer provides protection against blast and ballistic threats. The disrupting layer includes ceramic particles or tiles that disrupt the incoming projectile, while the backing layer prevents penetration past the armor by the disrupted projectile. The disrupting layer may include a layer of polygonal ceramic tiles with a deflecting front surface, encased by a retaining polymer, and may also include fire-retarding particles.
