Patents by Inventor Koji Mitsuhashi

Koji Mitsuhashi 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).

  • Patent number: 11473182
    Abstract: A component for use in a plasma processing apparatus, which is to be exposed to a plasma, includes a base material, an alumite layer and a thermally sprayed film. The base material has a plurality of through holes and a rough surface at which one end of each of the through holes is opended. The alumite layer is formed on a surface of the base material having the rough surface by an anodic oxidation process. The thermally sprayed film is formed on the rough surface with the alumite layer therebetween.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9828690
    Abstract: A component of a substrate processing apparatus that performs plasma processing on a substrate includes a base mainly formed of an aluminum alloy containing silicon. A film is formed on the surface of the base by an anodic oxidation process which includes connecting the component to an anode of a power supply and immersing the component in a solution mainly formed of an organic acid. The film is impregnated with ethyl silicate.

  • Publication number: 20170233860
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a component in a plasma processing apparatus is provided. The method includes: performing a surface conditioning on a surface of an underlying layer on which a film is to be formed by thermal spraying, the surface of the underlying layer includes a surface of a base or a surface of a layer formed on the surface of the base; and forming the film on the surface of the underlying layer by thermally spraying yttrium fluoride. A high velocity oxygen fuel spraying method or an atmospheric plasma spraying method is used in the forming of the film.

  • Publication number: 20160076129
    Abstract: Particle generation can be suppressed from a thermally sprayed film of yttrium fluoride. A component exposed to plasma in a plasma processing apparatus is provided. The component includes a base and a film. The base is made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and an alumite film may be formed on a surface of the base. The film is formed by thermally spraying yttrium fluoride on a surface of the base or on a surface of an underlying layer including a layer provided on the base. A porosity of the film is 4% or less, and an arithmetic mean roughness of a surface of the film is 4.5 ?m or less.
