US Patent:

20220351950, Nov 3, 2022

Filed:

Jul 13, 2022

Appl. No.:

17/864110

Inventors:

- Milpitas CA, US
Michael A. Potter - Huntington Beach CA, US
Dhairya Shrivastava - Los Altos CA, US

International Classification:

H01J 37/32
H01L 21/677
C23C 14/34
H01L 21/673
C23C 14/56
C23C 14/50

Abstract:

Various embodiments herein relate to carriers for supporting one or more substrate as the substrates are passed through a processing apparatus. In many cases, the substrates are oriented in a vertical manner. The carrier may include a frame and vertical support bars that secure the glass to the frame. The carrier may lack horizontal support bars. The carrier may allow for thermal expansion and contraction of the substrates, without any need to provide precise gaps between adjacent pairs of substrates. The carriers described herein substantially reduce the risk of breaking the processing apparatus and substrates, thereby achieving a more efficient process. Certain embodiments herein relate to methods of loading substrates onto a carrier.

Appl. No.:

15/269859

Inventors:

- Oakland CA, US
- Lexington KY, US
Megan Szyndler - Irvine CA, US

International Classification:

A01M 1/10
A01M 99/00

Abstract:

Novel devices and methods of capturing, controlling and preventing infestation of insects using microfabricated surfaces are provided. In particular, a mechanism of insect capture inspired by the microstructures of the leaf surfaces of plants and the key features of those surfaces with respect to the capture and control of pests have been determined and engineered into a variety of microfabricated surfaces capable of reproducing the effectiveness of these physical capture methods.
