Appl. No.:

10/141391

International Classification:

C23C 1600

US Classification:

118728, 118723 R, 118723 E

Abstract:

A substrate support utilized in high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDP-CVD) processing functions as a radio frequency (RF) electrode (e. g. , a bias RF cathode). An upper surface of the substrate support has a central upper surface portion and a peripheral upper surface portion, with the peripheral upper surface portion recessed relative to the central upper surface portion. The upper surface of the support extends beyond an outer edge of the substrate when the substrate is positioned on the substrate support. This extension in the support upper surface may enhance process performance by reducing electric field edge effects, as well as by improving directional distribution of ions traveling to the substrate. Since the peripheral upper surface portion is recessed relative to the central upper surface portion, a detachable shield can be disposed on the peripheral upper surface portion for preventing undesirable deposition on, or chemical attack of, the peripheral upper surface is portion, without interfering with positioning of the substrate.

International Classification:

C23C 16/00
H01L 21/306

US Classification:

15634548, 118723 I

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to an upper chamber design of a plasma CVD chamber which provides more uniform conditions for forming thin CVD films on a substrate. Embodiments of the invention improve temperature control of the upper chamber and improve particle performance by reducing or minimizing the temperature fluctuations on the dome between the deposition and non-deposition cycles. In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, an apparatus for processing semiconductor substrates comprises a chamber defining a plasma processing region therein. The chamber includes a bottom, a side wall, and a dome disposed on top of the side wall. The dome has a substantially flat dome top. A top RF coil is disposed above the dome top, and has an outer loop which is larger in size than the substrates to be processed in the chamber. A cold plate is disposed above the top RF coil, and is larger in size than the substrates to be processed in the chamber.

US Classification:

382100, 348160, 250239

Abstract:

A system for monitoring equipment in a non-invasive fashion may include at least one sense device comprising an electronics module that includes a image sensor, at least one controller coupled to receive image data from the image sensor and generate a reading value, a display that displays the reading value from the at least one controller. In addition, a mounting adapter, separate from and attachable to the electronics module, may be included that has a fitting portion adaptable to be affixed to the monitored equipment and an image opening that enables an image of the monitored equipment to be acquired. In other embodiments, a sense device may provide a signal, such as a DC signal from piece of equipment. A configuration tool may configure parameters by which a reading value is generated from such a DC signal. In one arrangement, a configuration tool may configure sense devices via a wireless connection, and display any images of the monitored equipment captured by the sense device.

Abstract:

A method for extracting condensed calcium powder from salted anchovies. According to one embodiment, the organic fish waste (e.g., salted anchovy) is stirred with warm water at a temperature of 70 to 80 C. in a weight ratio of 5:5. In one embodiment, the mixture is deposited into a centrifuge to separate the solid sediments containing anchovy bones and the water phase containing skin, flesh and oily components of anchovies dissolved therein. In one embodiment, a settling and filtration process is used to separate the solid sediments from liquid sediments. The solid sediments are sterilized with steam at a temperature in the range of 150 to 200 C. for 15 minutes. The sterilized solid sediments are dried to remove moisture. In one embodiment, the sterilized solid sediments are pulverized into powder. Optionally, the pulverized powder may be formed into a tablet form and packaged. Accordingly, highly condensed calcium powder is extracted.
