  • Patent number: 11563027
    Abstract: Microelectronic devices include a lower deck and an upper deck, each comprising a stack structure with a vertically alternating sequence of insulative structures and conductive structures arranged in tiers. A lower array of pillars extends through the stack structure of the lower deck, and an upper array of pillars extends through the stack structure of the upper deck. Along an interface between the lower deck and the upper deck, the pillars of the lower array align with the pillars of the upper array. At least at elevations comprising bases of the pillars, a pillar density of the pillars of the lower array differs from a pillar density of the pillars of the upper array, “pillar density” being a number of pillars per unit of horizontal area of the respective array. Related methods and electronic systems are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11225954
    Abstract: A vacuum generation system and method utilizes a dual-action piston-cylinder vacuum generation system to evacuate a vacuum storage. Saturated steam of higher than ambient pressure is inserted into a condensation cylinder with two chambers separated by a movable piston. Steam moves the piston to fill one chamber while expel gaseous content and condensate out of the other chamber. Steam is then condensed to a rough vacuum (RV) state by cooling. By repeated operations of inserting and condensing steam in each chamber alternatively, a sustained vacuum generation is achieved. A multi-level vacuum storage is also disclosed with a high vacuum (HV) storage placed inside a rough vacuum (RV) storage to reduce leakage as well as mechanical stresses. The vacuum generation system and method is extended for creating a prime mover or actuator to drive vacuum pumps maximizing thermal energy usage for increased vacuuming capacity.
