摘要:
Higher overall etch rate and throughput for atomic layer removal (ALR) is achieved. The reaction is a self-limiting process, thus limiting the total amount of material that may be etched per cycle. By pumping down the process station between reacting operations, the reaction is partially “reset.” A higher overall etch rate is achieved by a multiple exposure with pump down ALR process.

A temperature controlled showerhead for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) chambers enhances heat dissipation to enable accurate temperature control with an electric heater. Heat dissipates by conduction through a showerhead stem and fluid passageway and radiation from a back plate. A temperature control system includes one or more temperature controlled showerheads in a CVD chamber with fluid passageways serially connected to a heat exchanger.

Conductive contacts and methods for fabricating conductive contacts for electrochemical mechanical planarization are provided. A conductive contact in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention includes, but is not limited to, a first conductive surface formed of a flexible material, a conductive element that is disposed remote from the first conductive surface and that is configured for electrical coupling to an external circuit, and an intermediate portion that electrically couples the first conductive surface and the conductive element.

A spin bowl includes a base and a sidewall that extends from the base. The base has an upper portion for supporting a substrate in a horizontal plane and a lower portion that intersects with the sidewall. The lower portion of the base has a plurality of drain holes formed therein proximate to the sidewall. Each of the plurality of drain holes is configured to trap fluid therein during spinning of the spin bowl to thereby form a fluid seal that prevents air from flowing therethrough. In one embodiment, each of the drain holes is V-shaped. In another embodiment, the fluid seal is formed by the intersection of a straight drain hole with an external fluid catch area. An apparatus and method for spin coating a film over a substrate also are described.

The conductive member comprises a plurality of cathode regions that are exposed by the plurality of first holes of the second insulating member.
摘要:
Battery formed of electrochemical storage cells of the alkali metal and chalcogen type in series or groups of several parallel-connected storage cells connected in series. To assure uniform charging and discharging of the storage cells, each series-connected cell or each group of parallel-connected cells, has parallel-connected to the cell or group of cells, a protective circuit. Upon reaching a given maximum charge or discharge, a cell or group of cells, the circuit acts to bridge i.e. short the cell or group of cells which has reached a maximum charge or discharge, and prevent further charge or discharge of such cell or group of cells. The circuit is functionally connected to a switch which is conductively connectible directly to the negative and positive electrodes of the cells and to the electric terminals. The protective circuit is directly connected to both terminals and the storage cell to at least one of the two terminals via the switch.

摘要:
In a method for applying a coating material on a substrate, a print head is disposed over a substrate. Drops of a coating material are controllably dispensed from the print head to form a wide area film on the substrate. A system for coating a wafer includes a housing, and a chuck for supporting the wafer and a print head are disposed in the housing. A source of a coating material is coupled to the print head. A digital signal processor provides control signals for controlling process parameters for dispensing drops of the coating material and for controlling the relative position of the print head and the chuck. The relative position of the print head and the chuck (and hence the wafer supported thereon) may be controlled by moving the print head by itself, by moving the chuck by itself, or by moving both the print head and the chuck.
摘要:
High-temperature battery with at least one electrochemical storage cell which is surrounded by thermal insulation as well as by feed and discharge lines for the cooling air. At least one module which can be inserted into the high-temperature battery, contains the storage cells. The module has a feedline for cooling air and a discharge for the cooling air which are arranged so that the cooling air can be introduced into the module against the force of gravity and discharged from the module with the force of gravity.
