Patent number: 11965239Abstract: Provided is improved methodology for the nucleation of certain metal nitride substrate surfaces utilizing certain silicon-containing halides, silicon-containing amides, and certain metal precursors, in conjunction with nitrogen-containing reducing gases. While utilizing a pretreatment step, the methodology shows greatly improved nucleation wherein a microelectronic device substrate having such a metal nitride film deposited thereon has a thickness of about 10 ? to about 15 ? and less than about 1% of void area. Once such nucleation has been achieved, traditional layer-upon-layer deposition can rapidly take place.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: ENTEGRIS, INC.Inventors: Gavin Richards, Thomas H.

Patent number: 10954015Abstract: The present invention relates to devices and methods for loading grain into a grain bag using a grain bagging apparatus that can expand and contract to accommodate different grain bag sizes. The apparatus is comprised of an expandable grain discharge tunnel. This expandable tunnel comprises a stationary section and a flanking side. The flanking side can expand in an outwardly direction away from the stationary section to increase the overall width of the grain discharge tunnel such that differently sized grain bags can be utilized with a single grain bagging apparatus. The flanking side can be slid in an inwardly direction towards the stationary section into a first position for use with smaller grain bags. In the first position, the apparatus is easier to transport or store. The grain bag can be loaded onto the grain bagging apparatus in a first position and then the expandable grain discharge tunnel can be expanded into the second position.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2019Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: Neeralta Manufacturing Inc.Inventors: John Marvin Wierenga, Bryan Richard Vander Leest, Lambert Klass Wierenga
