Kian-Soong Poh has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Method of cleaning turbo pump and chamber/turbo pump clean process
    Patent number: 8277567
    Abstract: A method of cleaning a turbo pump is described. The turbo pump is coupled with a CVD chamber of depositing a material and thus accumulates the material therein. The method includes switching off the turbo pump and using another pump to pump a reactive gas, which can react with the material to form gaseous products, through the turbo pump. Thereby, the turbo pump is cleaned up and is prevented from being a particle source in subsequent CVD operations.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 8, 2011
    Date of Patent: October 2, 2012
    Assignee: United Microelectronics Corp.
    Inventors: Kian-Soong Poh, Jui-Ling Tang, Chong-Tat Lee, Cheng-Chung Lim
