    摘要: In-situ and post-cure methods of joining optical fibers and optoelectronic components are provided. An in situ method of joining an optical fiber to an optoelectronic component includes positioning an optical fiber and optoelectronic component in adjacent relationship such that light signals can pass therebetween, applying a curable resin having adhesive properties to an interface of the optical fiber and the optoelectronic component, aligning the optical fiber and optoelectronic component relative to each other such that signal strength of light signals passing between the optical fiber and the optoelectronic component is substantially maximized, and irradiating the interface with non-ionizing radiation in RF/microwave energy to rapidly cure the resin. A post-cure method of joining an optical fiber to an optoelectronic component includes positioning an optical fiber and optoelectronic component in adjacent relationship such that light signals can pass therebetween, applying a curable resin having adhesive properties to an interface of the optical fiber and the optoelectronic component, aligning the optical fiber and optoelectronic component relative to each other such that the signal strength of light signals passing between the optical fiber and the optoelectronic component is substantially maximized, and irradiating the interface with microwave energy to partially cure the resin. The joined components are then transferred to a curing oven to fully cure the adhesive resin.

    摘要: Rapid curing of polymer layers on semiconductor substrates is facilitated using variable frequency microwave energy. A semiconductor substrate having a polymer layer thereon is placed in a microwave furnace cavity, and then swept with a range of microwave frequencies. The range of frequencies includes a central frequency selected to rapidly heat the polymer layer. The range of frequencies is selected to generate a plurality of modes within the cavity. The sweep rate is selected so as to avoid damage to the semiconductor substrate and/or any components thereon. The microwave power may be adjusted during frequency sweeping to control the temperature of the polymer layer and the semiconductor substrate. Effluent produced during the curing of the polymer layer may be removed from the furnace cavity. The extent of cure of the polymer layer may be determined by detecting power reflection for each microwave frequency within the range to provide power reflection data, and then comparing the power reflection data with a predetermined set of power reflection data.

    摘要: A microwave heating apparatus is designed to improve distribution of the microwaves introduced into a multi-mode microwave cavity for heating or other selected applications. The microwave heating apparatus includes a microwave signal generator and a waveguide to convey microwave power to the cavity. A perforated metal plate disposed within the cavity encloses a volume adjacent to the waveguide opening, forming a leaky multimode subcavity. Through multiple processes of reflection, transmission, diffraction, and scattering, the leaky subcavity serves to smooth the microwave power distribution in the near-field region adjacent to the waveguide to better disperse the energy throughout the main applicator cavity. A more uniform level of microwave power is thereby applied to the workpiece.
