  • Patent number: 10127094
    Abstract: Material management systems and methods include material storage vessels with information (e.g., electronic information) storage. Information may be communicated from a storage device to a process tool controller and employed to set or adjust a process tool operating parameter. Material information may be determined by remote analysis and subsequently communicated to an electronic information storage device of a vessel containing such material. Location and movement of material storage vessels within a customer facility may be automatically tracked, with further transfer of material-specific information. Product information may be associatively stored with material-specific information utilized in product manufacture.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 12, 2015
    Date of Patent: November 13, 2018
    Assignee: Entegris, Inc
    Inventors: Scott Elfstrom, Kathleen L. Hanson, Steven E. Haumersen, Thomas D. Johnson, Clari Nolet, William Smeaton
