  • Publication number: 20250146542
    Abstract: An apparatus for aligning a bioprocessing drive head includes an assembly of rotating and sliding bearings configured to operatively connect a drive motor to a rotatable shaft, a drive head operatively connected to the rotatable shaft, the drive head configured to rotate an impeller within a bioprocessing vessel. The apparatus further including a linear movement mechanism operatively connected to the rotary ball spline mechanism and/or the rotatable shaft. The linear movement mechanism being configured to move the drive head linearly via the rotatable shaft into operative contact with the impeller, without linearly moving the drive motor.

  • Patent number: 6413321
    Abstract: Backside particle contamination of semiconductor wafers subjected to chemical vapor deposition is significantly reduced by optimizing various process parameters, alone or in combination. A high quality oxide seasoning layer is deposited to improve adhesion and trapping of contaminants remaining after a prior chamber cleaning step. Second, wafer pre-heating reduces thermal stress on the wafer during physical contact between the wafer and heater. Third, the duration of the gas stabilization flow of thermally reactive process gas species prior to CVD reaction is reduced, thereby preventing side products produced during this stabilization flow from affecting the wafer backside. Fourth, the wafer heater is redesigned to minimize physical contact between the heater surface and the wafer backside.
