    摘要: A vacuum-type electrical switching apparatus (10) for high voltage electrical power. A vacuum pressure condition in a vacuum pressure space (21) surrounding electrical contact points (18) is monitored and movement of the contact points between open and closed positions is automatically prevented when the pressure exceeds a predetermined threshold in order to avoid destructive arcing between the points. A sensor (32) provides a vacuum signal (34) responsive to the vacuum pressure condition. A controller (36) automatically inhibits movements of the contact points when the vacuum signal indicates that the vacuum has degraded. A contactor (38) may be placed in series with power supply (28) and a solenoid (24) used to move the contact points, with the contactor being automatically opened by the controller in response to the degraded vacuum condition. An electromechanical opening inhibitor (74) may be energized by the controller to mechanically prevent the contact points from being moved in response to the degraded vacuum condition.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for detecting a high pressure condition within an interrupter includes introducing high intensity ultrasonic sound into the outer wall of a vacuum interrupter through a sonic wave guide, then listening for the reflected and retransmitted response signals. The characteristics of the response signals are utilized to determine the pressure within the interrupter, and to determine when an unwanted high pressure condition exists.

    摘要: Plasma etching or resputtering of a layer of sputtered materials including opaque metal conductor materials may be controlled in a sputter reactor system. In one embodiment, resputtering of a sputter deposited layer is performed after material has been sputtered deposited and while additional material is being sputter deposited onto a substrate. A path positioned within a chamber of the system directs light or other radiation emitted by the plasma to a chamber window or other optical view-port which is protected by a shield against deposition by the conductor material. In one embodiment, the radiation path is folded to reflect plasma light around the chamber shield and through the window to a detector positioned outside the chamber window. Although deposition material may be deposited onto portions of the folded radiation path, in many applications, the deposition material will be sufficiently reflective to permit the emission spectra to be detected by a spectrometer or other suitable detector without significant signal loss. The etching or resputtering may be terminated when the detector detects that an underlying layer has been reached or when some other suitable process point has been reached.

    摘要: Process and apparatus are disclosed for forming a layer of a stoichiometric metal compound on a semiconductor wafer by reactive sputtering a metal target in a chamber in the presence of a reactive gas, wherein the negative potential on a metal target is increased or decreased to change the supply of sputtered metal atoms available to react with the atoms of the reactive gas at a fixed flow of the gas by resetting the power level of a constant power source electrically connected to the target and a path is provided for the flow of reactive gas to the zone between the target and the wafer, while restricting the travel of the stoichiometric metal compound being formed from the zone to thereby provide a stoichiometric ratio of sputtered metal atoms and reactive gas atoms adjacent the wafer to form the stoichiometric metal compound on the wafer.The target potential is raised or lowered by resetting the power level of a constant power source by feeding a target voltage monitor signal back to the constant power source as a power level set signal, while the reactive gas path is provided by a series of nested members which provide a path for the reactive gas while restricting the backflow of the stoichiometric metal compound being formed.
