  • Patent number: 11031262
    Abstract: Implementations disclosed herein describe a bevel etch apparatus within a loadlock bevel etch chamber and methods of using the same. The bevel etch apparatus has a mask assembly within the loadlock bevel etch chamber. During an etch process, the mask assembly delivers a gas flow to control bevel etch without the use of a shadow frame. As such, the edge exclusion at the bevel edge can be reduced, thus increasing product yield.

  • Publication number: 20210140640
    Abstract: Present disclosure relates to a injector, which comprises a first lance, provisioned with at least one first inlet port, to receive a first fluid. Further, a second lance is coaxially disposed within the first lance, and provisioned with at least one second inlet port, to receive a second fluid. The injector further includes a tube member, disposable within the second lance to receive the first fluid at one end, while sealed at another end. The tube member is provisioned with at least one recess for the first fluid in the tube member to mix with the second fluid and form the effervescent fluid. The effervescent fluid is then dispensed through at least one of a first exit port of the first lance and a second exit port of the second lance. The injector may be employed in applications such as, fuel injection, spray coating and the like.

  • Patent number: 10373822
    Abstract: Methods for modulating local stress and overlay error of one or more patterning films may include modulating a gas flow profile of gases introduced into a chamber body, flowing gases within the chamber body toward a substrate, rotating the substrate, and unifying a center-to-edge temperature profile of the substrate by controlling the substrate temperature with a dual zone heater. A chamber for depositing a film may include a chamber body comprising one or more processing regions. The chamber body may include a gas distribution assembly having a blocker plate for delivering gases into the one or more processing regions.

  • Patent number: 8268493
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to in-situ, line-of-sight measurements of partial pressure and temperature associated with at least one flow channel of a fuel cell. Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) is employed for measurements for which water transition states sensitive to temperature and partial pressure are utilized. Measurements are achievable for a fuel cell operating under both steady-state and time-varying load conditions. For steady-state operation, the water partial pressure increases with increasing current density on a cathode side of the fuel cell due to production of water by electrochemical reaction. Temperature in a gas phase remains relatively constant since the fuel cell housing temperature is controlled externally. For non-steady-state operation of the fuel cell through a time-varying current profile, the water partial pressure responds to the load changes rapidly and follows a current profile.
