Publication number: 20240128131Abstract: A camera may capture reflected light from the surface of the wafer during a semiconductor process that adds or removes material from the wafer, such as an etch process. To accurately determine an endpoint for the process, a camera sampling rate and light source intensity may be optimized in the process recipe. Optimizing the light source intensity may include characterizing light intensities that will be reflected from the waiver using an image of the wafer. Pixel intensities may be used to adjust the light source intensity to compensate for more complex wafer patterns. Optimizing the camera sampling rates may include nondestructively rotating a view of the wafer and converting the sampled intensities to the frequency domain. The camera sampling rate may be increased or decreased to remove spatial noise from the image without oversampling unnecessarily. These optimized parameters may then generate a clean, repeatable trace for endpoint determination.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Avishay Vaxman, Qintao Zhang, Jeffrey P. Koch, David P. Surdock, Wayne R. Swart, David J. Lee, Samphy Hong, Aldrin Bernard Vincent Eddy, Daniel G. Deyo

Patent number: 8734706Abstract: A mold assembly or system includes a moldbase that holds mold inserts and has embedded fluid lines to facilitate cooling during part formation. Mold inserts combine to form mold cavities that receive carbon fiber and resin components to form a carbon composite based part. A permanent release coating along a mold component surface that contacts the carbon fiber and resin components facilitates the release of the finished part from the mold component. Guide pins and guide pin receiving holes facilitate accurate alignment of mold components. Ejector pins within respective ejector pin shafts help eject a finished part from a respective mold component. An ejector pin shaft cover transfers force from an ejector pin to eject a finished part and also prevents substantial passage of resin into the ejector pin shaft. A fluid actuated ejection system provides fluid based mechanical forces to the ejector pins to facilitate finished part ejection.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2012Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Paul Choiniere, Glenn Aune, John Difonzo, Daniel Hong, Kevin Kenney
