  • Publication number: 20100101496
    Abstract: A wafer carrier comprises a base and a shielding plate positioned on the top surface of the base in a disassembled manner. The top surface of the base is configured to retain a plurality of wafers, and the shielding plate has a plurality of openings exposing the wafers. In particular, the shielding plate shields one portion of the base other than the other portions occupied by the wafers to prevent the reaction gases from conducting the chemical reaction to generate the reactant directly on the surface of the base. Consequently, the base is isolated from the chemical reaction, and it is not necessary to replace the base before conducting the next fabrication process or to clean the reactants on the surface of the base by thermal baking or etching.

  • Patent number: 4791623
    Abstract: A file management system for interfacing a host computer application or operating system to a write once read mostly optical data storage system. The file management system causes a predetermined number of sectors on the optical disk to be reserved for a directory region, and causes files of information data to be written to consecutive sectors of an information region adjacent the directory region. Directory data associated with the files of information data is then written to consecutive sectors in the directory region. The information region is thereby allowed to expand to any necessary size until directory data associated therewith fills the adjacent directory region. These procedures are then repeated, resulting in a plurality of interleaved directory and information regions on the optical disk. The file management system causes directory data to be organized in a tree structure. Each file of information data is associated with a subdirectory.
