US Patent:

7578392, Aug 25, 2009

Filed:

Jun 3, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/859720

Inventors:

Ray G. Brooks - Bedford TX, US
Timothy W. Brooks - Arlington TX, US

Assignee:

Convey Incorporated - Euless TX

International Classification:

B65D 85/30

US Classification:

206710, 206521, 206832

Abstract:

A packaging system, hereinafter referred to as the Critical Packaging System, relates to critical issues that associate with sensitive articles such as IC wafers before, during and after shipment phases. The system employs a choice of two or more specialty designed containers, and any one selected design having choices of two or more methods by which to avoid, reduce and/or eliminate wafer damage from breakage, scratches and/or corrosion during shipment phases. For the purpose of maximizing product yield during packaging phases a special apparatus is used to insert wafers within containers without scratch damage. The following programs are used in packaging: (1) Quality Assurance/Certification, (2) Critical Factor Monitoring, and (3) a Recycle and Refurbish Program. These programs are specifically designed to achieve new levels of product yields, reduce product cost, and landfill impact.

8262592, Sep 11, 2012

Filed:

Dec 2, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/326308

Inventors:

Ray G. Brooks - Bedford TX, US
Timothy Wayne Brooks - Arlington TX, US

International Classification:

A61H 1/00
A61H 1/02
A61H 5/00

US Classification:

601 17, 601 46

Abstract:

An inexpensive and disposable dispenser has few parts. The dispenser has a housing with a reservoir of fluid therein. The housing has a valve seat and a valve. The valve is biased in a closed position by resilient spring arms. Each spring arm has a fixed end coupled to the housing and a free end that contacts a rounded or inclined surface of the valve in a location that is offset from a centerline of movement. As the valve moves to an open position, the spring arms flex with the free ends moving apart. When the spring arms straighten and the free ends move closer to each other, the valve is moved to the closed position. The dispenser can be manipulated by a hand or by a massager. A massager imparts vibrations to the valve by way of the housing and the spring arm. The dispenser can be used to work the fluid into an object such as human skin.

Appl. No.:

10/116579

Inventors:

Ray Brooks - Bedford TX, US
Timothy Brooks - Euless TX, US

International Classification:

B65D085/30

US Classification:

206/710000

Abstract:

An IC wafer shipping container has therein a stack of IC wafers. At least one side of each wafer has raised, conductive bump pads. A separator is located between two wafers. The film separators each have a dissipative layer and an insulating layer. The separators are cushioned to protect the wafers from mechanical shock and electrical shock. The separators are cushioned by embossing.

Appl. No.:

13/351911

Inventors:

Ray G. Brooks - Bedford TX, US
Timothy Wayne Brooks - Arlington TX, US

International Classification:

B65D 85/86

US Classification:

206711

Abstract:

The packaging system includes an enclosure having an interior volume. A wafer stack, comprising plural wafers and separators in contact with the wafers, is located in the interior volume. The separators have raised bumps extending from each side. The bumps create spaces that allow air to flow therethrough. The separator film intercepts and captures airborne molecular contaminants belonging to organic and inorganic chemical families. In addition, the film is dissipative to static discharge. Furthermore, the bumps provided by the separators protect the fragile wafers from damage due to mechanical shock. The separators are also provided with a peripheral ring or embossment, which contacts the wafer edges and further protects the wafers from damage to mechanical shock. Air cushions can be provided in the wafer stack, which cushions are provided with bands to regulate the compression.

Appl. No.:

8/566075

Inventors:

Ray G. Brooks - Irving TX
Timothy W. Brooks - Irving TX

Assignee:

Convey, Inc. - Euless TX

International Classification:

F26B 1900

US Classification:

34 61

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for maintaining sensitive articles such as IC wafers or the like contaminant-free including a base member having a removable cover defining a sealed unit having an interior in which a plurality of sensitive articles are supported and through which a particle-free ionizing gas from a source on a wheeled table is continuously passed, the sealed unit being movable from a storage position on the table to an access position on associated processing without interruption of the ionized gas flow and at which the cover is removed and the supported articles continuously bathed with a particle-free, ionized gas to permit the articles to be sequentially moved to a fabricating position in the processing equipment and back to the access position while being continuously bathed with a particle-free ionized gas for subsequent assembly of the cover and base member and return of the sealed unit to the storage position.

US Classification:

34389

Abstract:

A method, system and apparatus for maintaining articles to be processed clean, having an airtight transportable container with an inlet valve for admitting ionized gas and an outlet valve for venting gas, a purger with an interface to the container inlet valve and a vacuum pick-up and ionized gas spray wand is disclosed. A purger rack for storing multiple containers is also disclosed.

Appl. No.:

8/803257

Inventors:

Ray G. Brooks - Irving TX
Timothy W. Brooks - Irving TX

Assignee:

Convey, Inc. - Euless TX

International Classification:

F26B 700

US Classification:

34389

Abstract:

Sensitive articles, such as IC wafers can be maintained in a contamination-free condition. A base member is provided for supporting one or more of the sensitive articles. A cover is provided for sealing engagement with a base member so as form a sealed unit. The sealed unit has an interior. The sealed unit is positioned at a storage position. A particle-free ionized gas is passed though the interior to bathe the articles supported therein with the gas at the storage position. The sealed unit is moved with the articles to an access position on associated processing equipment. The cover is removed from the base to expose the articles. The exposed articles are bathed continuously at the access position with a particle-free ionized gas. The articles are moved sequentially between the access position and a processing position on the associated processing equipment. The articles are bathed with a particle-free ionized gas during the moving steps.

Ray G. Brooks - Bedford TX
Timothy Brooks - Euless TX
Steve L. Fowler - Moore SC
Robert A. Neal - Wales ME

International Classification:

B65D 8548

US Classification:

206710

Abstract:

A container for integrated circuit wafers provides protection for the wafers from mechanical shock and electrical charges. The wafers are mechanically protected by top and bottom cushions and side cushions. The top and bottom cushions each have foam within a membrane or film enclosure. The enclosure has openings so as to allow gas to pass in and out. The side cushions have resilient projections that protect the edges of the wafers. The side cushions are interposed between flanges of the top and bottom cushions. The individual wafers are separated from each other by leaf separators made of film. The film for the separators and the top and bottom cushions can be the same type. The film has a first layer made of a polymer with dissipative material therein and a second layer made of a polymer without the dissipative material. The first and second layers are coupled together. The insulating layer is placed into contact with a circuit side of the wafer.
