    摘要: A workpiece support is disclosed defining a workpiece-receiving surface. The workpiece support includes a plurality of fluid zones. A fluid, such as a gas, is fed to the fluid zones for contact with a workpiece on the workpiece support. The fluid can have selected thermoconductivity characteristics for controlling the temperature of the workpiece at particular locations. In accordance with the present disclosure, at least certain of the fluid zones are at different azimuthal positions. In this manner, the temperature of the workpiece can be adjusted not only in a radial direction but also in an angular direction.

    摘要: A plasma reactor and method for improved gas injection for an inductive plasma source for dry strip plasma processing are disclosed. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, gas is fed into a plasma chamber through a gas injection channel located adjacent to the side wall of the plasma chamber, rather than from the center, so that the process gas enters the plasma chamber in a close proximity to the induction coil. In particular embodiments, the process gas that enters the chamber is forced to pass through a reactive volume or active region adjacent the induction coil where efficient heating of electrons occurs, providing increased efficiency of the reactor by improving process gas flow and confinement in the heating area.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus to provide efficient and scalable RF inductive plasma processing are disclosed. In some aspects, the coupling between an inductive RF energy applicator and plasma and/or the spatial definition of power transfer from the applicator are greatly enhanced. The disclosed methods and apparatus thereby achieve high electrical efficiency, reduce parasitic capacitive coupling, and/or enhance processing uniformity. Various embodiments comprise a plasma processing apparatus having a processing chamber bounded by walls, a substrate holder disposed in the processing chamber, and an inductive RF energy applicator external to a wall of the chamber. The inductive RF energy applicator comprises one or more radiofrequency inductive coupling elements (ICEs). Each inductive coupling element has a magnetic concentrator in close proximity to a thin dielectric window on the applicator wall.

    摘要: A novel addressing technique, aimed at reduced addressing time of a PDP panel is disclosed in the present invention. The invention uses new scanning voltage waveform, new voltage waveforms for bulk sustain and data electrodes, as well as discharges in all the pixels (both ON and OFF), which allows to significantly lower the voltage controlled by address drivers. Although elements of this technique can be used in any panel and in conjunction with many other methods of shortening the address period, the effectiveness of this technique depends on the geometrical parameters of a PDP cell.
