    摘要: Plasma ignition and cooling apparatus and methods for plasma systems are described. An apparatus can include a vessel and at least one ignition electrode adjacent to the vessel. A total length of a dimension of the at least one ignition electrode is greater than 10% of a length of the vessel's channel. The apparatus can include a dielectric toroidal vessel, a heat sink having multiple segments urged toward the vessel by a spring-loaded mechanism, and a thermal interface between the vessel and the heat sink. A method can include providing a gas having a flow rate and a pressure and directing a portion of the flow rate of the gas into a vessel channel. The gas is ignited in the channel while the remaining portion of the flow rate is directed away from the channel.

    摘要: A fluid-cooled dielectric window for a microwave plasma system which uses microwave absorbing fluids is described. The window includes a dielectric window and a cooling member in contact with an outer surface of the window which defines a channel and a medium adjacent to the channel. The channel transports a microwave absorbing cooling fluid over the outer surface of the window. The medium allows an electric field to enter through the window and sustain a plasma in a chamber while the fluid is flowing through the channel.

    摘要: Described are infrared light sources and methods for generating infrared radiation. The infrared light source includes a source of laser radiation, a target and an enclosure. The target is positioned in a path of an output region of the source of laser radiation. The target includes an absorbing material that absorbs radiation at a wavelength within the lasing spectrum of the source of laser radiation and converts the absorbed radiation into thermal energy. The enclosure defines a cavity that includes the target. The enclosure includes an infrared reflecting film on a side that defines the cavity.

    摘要: The invention relates to apparatus and methods for generating and recycling fluorine. The applicants recognized that a fluorine separator, used either alone or in combination with a plasma generator can produce sufficient quantities of fluorine at its point of use for thin film processing. The fluorine separator can take the form of a condenser, a membrane separation device, a fluorine ion conductor comprising a solid electrolyte, or a combination of the foregoing. In some embodiments, reaction products comprising fluorine are passed to the fluorine separator. In other embodiments, separated fluorine is passed, either alone or in conjunction with additional feed stock comprising fluorine, to a plasma generator. The fluorine separator allows fluorine to be recycled and waste products to be eliminated from the system.

    摘要: A radial flow turbomolecular vacuum pump includes a gas inlet, a gas outlet, a rotor, and a stator. The rotor includes a first rotor surface that is positioned in a substantially radial direction. A plurality of blades extends from the first rotor surface in a substantially axial direction. The stator includes a first stator surface that is positioned proximate to the first rotor surface in the substantially radial direction. A first and second plurality of vanes extend from the first stator surface and generally forms an annulus therebetween for receiving the first plurality of blades. A drive shaft is coupled to the rotor and positioned in the substantially axial direction. A motor is coupled to the drive shaft and rotates the rotor relative to the stator. The rotation of the rotor relative to the stator causes gas to be pumped from the gas inlet to the gas outlet in the substantially radial direction.
