  • Batch processing oven and operating methods
    Patent number: 11688621
    Abstract: A batch processing oven comprising a processing chamber and a rack configured to be positioned in the processing chamber. The rack is configured to support a plurality of substrates and a plurality of panels in a stacked manner such that one or more substrates of the plurality of substrates are positioned between at least one pair of adjacent panels of the plurality panels. Vertical gaps separate each substrate of the one or more substrates from an adjacent substrate or panel on either side of the substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 2021
    Date of Patent: June 27, 2023
    Assignee: YIELD ENGINEERING SYSTEMS, INC.
    Inventors: Mark William Curry, Ronald R. Stevens, Craig W. McCoy, Charudatta Galande, Gabriel Ormonde

  • Apparatus for the Efficient Coating of Subtrates Including Plasma Cleaning
    Publication number: 20130000557
    Abstract: A process for the coating of substrates comprising insertion of a substrate into a process oven, plasma cleaning of the substrate, dehydration of the substrate, withdrawal of a metered amount of one or more chemicals from one or more chemical reservoirs, vaporizing the withdrawn chemicals in one or more vapor chambers, and transfer of the vaporized chemicals into a process oven, thereby reacting with the substrate. An apparatus for the coating of substrates comprising a process oven, a gas plasma generator, a metered chemical withdrawal subsystem, and a vaporization subsystem.
