Abstract: A chamber lid assembly includes: a central channel having an upper portion and a lower portion and extending along a central axis; a housing at least partially defining a first and a second annular channel, each fluidly coupled to the central channel; a first plurality of apertures disposed along a horizontal plane through the housing to provide a multi-aperture inlet between the first annular channel and the central channel; a second plurality of apertures disposed along a horizontal plane through the housing to provide a multi-aperture inlet between the second annular channel and the central channel, wherein the first and the second plurality of apertures are angled differently with respect to the central axis so as to induce opposing rotational flow of gases about the central axis; and a tapered bottom surface extending from the lower portion of the central channel to a peripheral portion of the chamber lid assembly.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for implementing an electronic design having embedded circuits. These techniques identify a specification of an electronic design, a parameter for optimization, at least one optimization target for the parameter, and initial grids for the electronic design. An optimization map may be determined, by at one or more optimization modules that are stored at least partially in memory of and function in conjunction with at least one microprocessor of a computing system, for the electronic design at least by performing one or more analyses that refine the initial grids for the optimization map with respect to the parameter and the at least one optimization target. The electronic design may be implemented based at least in part upon the optimization map.

Abstract: Various techniques implement an electronic design with physical simulations using layout artwork. The approximate behaviors of the electronic design are determined. A region in the electronic design is identified. A first three-dimensional model is identified, if pre-existing, or generated, if non-existing, for the region in the electronic design. The behaviors of the region is determined using at least physics-based techniques or methodologies that are preconditioned upon at least a portion of the approximate behaviors determined for the electronic design.

Abstract: The described techniques implement electronic designs with thermal analyses of the electronic design and its surrounding medium by performing thermal modeling that determines at least a thermal RC network for an electronic design. These techniques further generate a thermal network for the electronic design and one or more surrounding media of the electronic design and generate or modify the electronic design with an implementation process at least by guiding the implementation process based in part or in whole upon results of performing one or more thermal analysis on the thermal network.

Abstract: A spatial light modulator includes a mirror plate comprising a reflective upper surface, a lower surface having a conductive surface portion, and a substrate portion having a first cavity having an opening on the lower surface, a second cavity in the substrate portion, and a membrane over the second cavity. The modulator includes a substrate comprising an upper surface, a hinge support post in connection with the upper surface, a hinge component supported by the hinge support post and in connection with the mirror plate to facilitate a rotation of the mirror plate, and an upright landing tip in connection with the upper surface of the substrate. The hinge component is extends into the first cavity. The upright landing tip is configured to contact the membrane over the second cavity in the substrate portion of the mirror plate to stop the rotation of the mirror plate at a predetermined orientation.
