Patent number: 9901917Abstract: The present invention provides methods and designs of enclosed-channel reactor system for manufacturing catalysts or supports. Both of the configuration designs force the gaseous precursors and purge gas flow through the channel surface of reactor. The precursors will transform to thin film or particle catalysts or supports under adequate reaction temperature, working pressure and gas concentration. The reactor body is either sealed or enclosed for isolation from atmosphere. Another method using super ALD cycles is also proposed to grow alloy catalysts or supports with controllable concentration. The catalysts prepared by the method and system in the present invention are noble metals, such as platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium and osmium, or transition metals such as iron, silver, cobalt, nickel and tin, while supports are silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, cerium oxide or magnesium oxide, or refractory metals, which can be chromium, molybdenum, tungsten or tantalum.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2016Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: NATIONAL APPLIED RESEARCH LABORATORIESInventors: Chi-Chung Kei, Bo-Heng Liu, Chien-Pao Lin, Chien-Nan Hsiao, Yang-Chih Hsueh, Tsong-Pyng Perng

Patent number: 9404181Abstract: A plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) system used to form thin films on substrates includes a plasma chamber, a processing chamber, two or more ring units and a control piece. The plasma chamber includes an outer and an inner quartz tubular units, whose central axes are aligned with each other. Therefore, plasma is held and concentrated in an annular space formed between the outer and outer quartz tubular units. Due to the first and second through holes, the plasma flow may be more evenly distributed on most of the surface of the substrate to form evenly distributed thin films and nano particles on the substrate. In addition, due to the alignment and misalignment between the first and second through holes, the plasma generated in the plasma chamber may be swiftly allowed or disallowed to enter to the processing chamber to prevent the precursor from forming a CVD.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2012Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: NATIONAL APPLIED RESEARCH LABORATORIESInventors: Bo-Heng Liu, Chi-Chung Kei, Meng-Yen Tsai, Wen-Hao Cho, Chih-Chieh Yu, Chien-Nan Hsiao, Da-Ren Liu
