  • Publication number: 20240105432
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes a vacuum chamber with upper and lower electrodes and a processing zone for processing a substrate using plasma. The upper electrode includes a surface that is substantially parallel to a surface of the substrate when the substrate is positioned in the chamber. The apparatus includes at least one magnetic field source configured to generate one or more active magnetic fields through the processing zone, and a controller coupled to the at least one magnetic field source and the upper electrode. The controller is configured to apply RF power between the upper and lower electrodes to generate the plasma using a process gas. The controller controls the current through the at least one magnetic field source during the processing of the substrate, where the current is based on a target value corresponding to at least one characteristic of the one or more active magnetic fields.

  • Publication number: 20240087738
    Abstract: A telepresence robot may include a drive system, a control system, an imaging system, and a mapping module. The mapping module may access a plan view map of an area and tags associated with the area. In various embodiments, each tag may include tag coordinates and tag information, which may include a tag annotation. A tag identification system may identify tags within a predetermined range of the current position and the control system may execute an action based on an identified tag whose tag information comprises a telepresence robot action modifier. The telepresence robot may rotate an upper portion independent from a lower portion. A remote terminal may allow an operator to control the telepresence robot using any combination of control methods, including by selecting a destination in a live video feed, by selecting a destination on a plan view map, or by using a joystick or other peripheral device.

  • Patent number: 11646266
    Abstract: Interconnect structures are disclosed. An example includes conductive traces over a first dielectric layer, dielectric helmet structures over top surfaces of the conductive traces, and a second dielectric layer over the helmet structures. Spaces between adjacent ones of conductive traces are devoid of material. A bottom surface of the second dielectric layer is between top surfaces of the dielectric structures and bottom surfaces of the helmet structures, or co-planar with the top surface of the helmet structures, but the airgap extends above tops of the conductive traces. Another example includes a dielectric adjacent to upper sections but not lower sections of conductive traces, so as to provide airgaps between adjacent lower sections. Alternatively, a first dielectric material is adjacent the upper sections and a second compositionally different dielectric material is adjacent the lower sections. In either case, the sidewalls of the upper sections of the interconnect features may include scalloping.
