Publication number: 20190161850Abstract: A method of making a tantalum sputtering target providing the steps of: a) providing a tantalum ingot; b) forging and annealing the tantalum ingot to provide a grain refined tantalum billet; and c) processing the grain refined tantalum billet to produce a tantalum sputtering target with a reduced grain size and a reduced grain size standard deviation. A tantalum sputtering targeting having a purity of at least 99.9%, a grain size of about 30 ?m or less, and a grain size standard deviation of about 20 ?m or less. A sputtering target manufactured in accordance with this invention will have a more consistent and stable voltage performance throughout target life, compared to prior methods with a larger grain size and grain size deviation. A more consistent and stable voltage performance leads to improved film uniformity.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2018Publication date: May 30, 2019Inventors: Alex Kuhn, Eugene Ivanov

Patent number: 8996944Abstract: In a client-server game system, or in accordance with a computer-readable program stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, a client participates in a game with other clients by performing an in-game simulation. Based on results of the in-game simulation, the client sends error-checking data to a server. The server analyzes the error-checking data to determine whether a simulation error has been caused by at least one of the clients. Upon determining that the simulation error has been caused, the server causes a reference simulation to be performed. Based on the results of the reference simulation, the server identifies the client(s) that caused the simulation error. The server then sends a patch to the client(s) that caused the simulation error. The client applies the patch to correct and reset the in-game simulation.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2011Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Nival, Inc.Inventors: Eugene Ivanov, Ivan M. Ogorodov, Alexander Zelenshikov

Patent number: 8095381Abstract: A telemonitoring central server 12 supports secure data exchange between a number of users, such as a patient, family and friends, medical personnel, suppliers, and the like. A user authenticator 20 authenticates and authorizes a user to the system. Access control is driven by a number of static or dynamic access profiles that are assigned to each user. These profiles dictate the data to which the user is allowed access, the computations available to the user, and the manner in which data is displayed to the user. The presentation style is based on access role, user, age, background, result of previous interactions, information content, authentication level, and the like. Third-party services such as advertisements and discounts for “get well soon” items can also be provided to the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2005Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: David P.

Publication number: 20090282079Abstract: In a telemonitoring system, a number of telemonitoring devices collect patient data. If an abnormality occurs, a monitoring center is sent a signal. Depending on the abnormality, the monitoring center may request more patient data in order to analyze and evaluate the occurred abnormality. To this end, the patient may be requested to send the telemonitoring devices to the monitoring center. In order to minimize overhead costs and increase efficiency, the present invention provides a method and system for transferring the requested data to a minimum number of selected devices, preferably one selected device, so that a minimum number of selected devices needs to be sent to the monitoring center.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2007Publication date: November 12, 2009Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Eugene Ivanov, Alexander Wilhelmus Heerink

Publication number: 20070158188Abstract: A shield (22) for protecting chamber walls (14) of a sputter reactor (10) comprising foam metal shaped into a desired shield shape. The foam metal inserts (24) are easily configured for mounting within the sputter reactor chamber. The foam metal shield material provides more surface area and better adhesion of the sputter coated particles, thereby reducing particulate emission and allowing longer use before replacement. The shields are also relatively inexpensive to fabricate. Once the shield is coated with sputter particles, the foam metal shield can be removed from the sputter chamber and heated in a thermite reaction, thereby reducing the particles collected on the foam metal shield to an elemental metal and thus facilitating recovery of the deposited sputter material. The apparatus has a target (12), vacuum pump (21), pedestal (18), substrate (16), gas supply system (20), clips (25), insulating ring (26), DC power supply (24), and metal layer (28).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2005Publication date: July 12, 2007Inventor: Eugene Ivanov

Publication number: 20060118407Abstract: A method for making nickel/silicon sputter targets, targets made thereby and sputtering processes using such targets. Molten nickel is blended with sufficient molten silicon and cast to form an alloy containing trace amounts, up to less than 4.39 wt % silicon, and preferably 2.0 wt % silicon. Preferably, the cast ingot is then shaped by rolling it to form a plate having a desired thickness. Sputter targets so formed are capable of use in conventional magnetron sputter processes, such that a target can be positioned near a cathode in the presence of an electric potential difference and a magnetic field in order to induce sputtering of nickel ions from the sputter target onto the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2004Publication date: June 8, 2006Applicant: Tosoh SMD, Inc.Inventor: Eugene Ivanov

Publication number: 20060065517Abstract: Sputter target assemblies (10) and methods of making the sputter target assemblies in which the HIP processes conventionally used are minimized, or eliminated, while producing higher yields of sputter target assemblies in less time. In one instance the sputter target assemblies include a single, or multiple, layered interlayer (14, 16) between the target and backing plate (18) in order to achieve intermetallic diffusion bonds between adjacent layers during a single HIP process. A mechanical interlock between the target (12) and backing plate is also achieved preferably during a single HIP process. In another instance, the target and backing plate are welded directly together by electron beam welding, and the interlayer and HIP process are omitted. In either case, the process for making the sputter target assembly is shortened, rendering it less expensive and subject to less failures, while achieving assemblies having robust strength.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2003Publication date: March 30, 2006Applicant: Tosoh SMD, Inc.Inventors: Eugene Ivanov, Harry Conard

Publication number: 20050284746Abstract: A target (1) and backing plate (10) assembly and method of making the same. The target (1) and backing plate (10) assembly provides a mechanical interlock between the target (1) and backing plate (10) in addition to diffusion bonding between dissimilar materials comprising the target (1) and backing plate (10). An interlayer may also be used between the target (1) and backing plate (10). A plurality of ridges, or other salient surface features (3,4) on one of the target (1) and backing plate (10) are joined to corresponding members or channels (13, 14) on the other of the target and backing plate.
