  • Publication number: 20240192055
    Abstract: One or more embodiments described herein generally relate to systems and methods for calibrating an optical emission spectrometer (OES) used for processing semiconductor substrates. In embodiments herein, a light fixture is mounted to a plate within a process chamber. A light source is positioned within the light fixture such that it provides an optical path that projects directly at a window through which the OES looks into the process chamber for its reading. When the light source is on, the OES measures the optical intensity of radiation from the light source. To calibrate the OES, the optical intensity of the light source is compared at two separate times when the light source is on. If the optical intensity of radiation at the first time is different than the optical intensity of radiation at the second time, the OES is modified.

  • Publication number: 20240141428
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for detecting multiple different nucleotides in a sample. In particular, the disclosure provides for detection of multiple different nucleotides in a sample utilizing fewer detection moieties than the number of nucleotides being detected and/or fewer imaging events than the number of nucleotides being detected.

  • Publication number: 20240136029
    Abstract: A method for predicting yield and composition changes during urea inclusion fractionation to select a fatty acid methyl ester source for biofuel. The method can include heating a solid urea inclusion compound to a decomposition temperature, allowing the solid urea inclusion compound to decompose, heating again to a melting temperature, allowing the solid urea to melt, cooling to the decomposition temperature, and cooling again to a temperature below the decomposition temperature. Each heating, cooling, decomposing, and melting step can have its change in enthalpy and entropy recorded. A thermodynamic model can be calculated using the recorded changes in enthalpy and entropy. The thermodynamic model can predict a yield and composition of the solid urea inclusion compound and can be used to select a fatty acid methyl ester source using the predicted yield and composition.
