  • Publication number: 20240295025
    Abstract: A dual-plenum fractal (DPF) showerhead for distributing different semiconductor processing gases across a semiconductor wafer during processing operations is provided. The DPF showerhead may have a plurality of layers, each featuring a pattern of gas distribution features, with the gas distribution features on each layer generally being similar in shape to the gas distribution features on the layer immediately upstream therefrom but smaller in size. Such a “fractal”-like structure to the gas flow passages provides very uniform processing gas delivery across the surface of a semiconductor wafer during processing operations, thereby enhancing wafer uniformity.

  • Publication number: 20240075829
    Abstract: A charge handle, according to some examples, for electrically charging an electric vehicle comprises a housing and a movable core with fluid, electrical, and data connectors that engage with a charge port on the vehicle. A drive mechanism moves the core between disengaged and engaged positions relative to the housing to extend or retract the connectors. A latching mechanism secures the housing to the vehicle when engaged and releases the handle when disengaged. The fluid connectors provide cooling fluid circulation, the electrical connectors deliver charging current, and the data connector enables communication. The sequenced engagement and disengagement of the connectors by the drive mechanism ensures safe connection under load. The latching mechanism allows self-contained engagement forces without pushing on vehicle body components.
