    摘要: An apparatus and method incorporating at least two sensors that detect the presence of substrate defects, such as breakage or misalignment, along the lengths of at least two parallel edges of a moving substrate. In one embodiment, an apparatus for detecting substrate defects includes a sensor arrangement including at least two sensors that continuously sense a substrate near at least two parallel edges of the substrate as the substrate passes the sensors. In another embodiment, an apparatus for detecting substrate defects includes a robot having a substrate support surface, and a sensor arrangement including at least two sensors that continuously sense a substrate near at least two parallel edges of the substrate during substrate transfer on the substrate support surface. In another embodiment, a method of continuously detecting substrate defects includes positioning at least two sensors to continuously sense a substrate near at least two parallel edges of the substrate as the substrate passes the sensors, and transmitting a signal from each of the at least two sensors to a controller that continuously monitors the signals from the at least two sensors to detect the presence of a substrate defect.

    摘要: Malfunction of a component within an RF-powered plasma chamber is detected by observing an operating condition of the plasma chamber and detecting when the operating condition deviates from a previously observed range bounded by lower and upper limits. The lower and upper limits are determined by observing the minimum and maximum values of that operating condition during the processing of workpieces throughout one or more plasma chamber cleaning cycles immediately preceding the most recent cleaning of the plasma chamber.

    摘要: The present invention generally relates to a method for flexible process condition monitoring. In a process that utilizes RF power, the RF power may be applied at different levels during different points in the process. Software may be programmed to facilitate the monitoring of the different points in the process so that the acceptable deviation range of the RF power for each point in the process may be set to different values. For example, one phase of the process may permit a greater range of RF power deviation while a second phase may be much more particular and permit very little deviation. By programming software to permit each phase of the process to be uniquely monitored, a more precise RF process may be obtained.

The toricity and asphericity may be provided on separate surfaces, such as an anterior surface and a posterior surface, or the toricity and asphericity may be combined onto a single surface. The edge thickness may be varied sinusoidal to maintain equal edge thickness at 45 degree meridian.

    摘要: A method of concentrating directional radiant energy using reflective optics and receivers that convert that energy wherein the receivers are situated in the body of the reflector on risers parallel to the direction of radiant energy, each said riser bounded by at least one parabolic mirror lying closer and another lying farther from the energy source, where the focus or foci of said mirrors lie substantially in the direction faced by the receiver situated in said riser. The reflector geometries include ones in which the mirrors are parabolic cylinder sections and require only one-axis tracking to focus, and ones in which the mirrors are paraboloid sections and require two-axis tracking to focus sunlight.
