  • Patent number: 10221479
    Abstract: Embodiments of the device relate to a modular injector (100) for injecting a gas into a processing chamber (42), comprising at least two adjacent injectors (1), each injector comprising an inlet for receiving a gas wave or a gas flow, a flow shaping section (2) having left and right sidewalls that diverge according to a divergence angle relative to a propagation axis of the gas, for expanding the gas in a direction perpendicular to the propagation axis, and an outlet for expelling the gas. The modular injector forms an equivalent large injector having an equivalent large outlet which includes the outlets of the adjacent injectors and expands the gas over the equivalent large outlet.

  • Patent number: 8721835
    Abstract: Embodiments of the device relate to an injector (11) for injecting a gas in a processing chamber, including an inlet (21) for receiving a gas wave or a gas flow, a flow-shaping section (20) for expanding the gas in a direction (YY?) perpendicular to a propagation axis (XX?) of the gas, and an outlet (22) for expelling the gas. The flow-shaping section has first and second sidewalls (23) which diverge according to a divergence angle (A1) relative to the propagation axis of the gas, and includes means for slowing down the velocity of the gas near the center of the flow-shaping section, relative to the velocity of the gas near at least one sidewall.

  • Publication number: 20090050992
    Abstract: An amorphous soft magnetic thin film material for forming shielding and keeper applications in MRAM devices. The amorphous soft magnetic material may be deposited using Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) in the presence of a magnetic field, in order to form shielding layers and keepers in a multi-layer metallization process. The soft magnetic material may be an amorphous metallic alloy, such as CoZrX, where X may be Ta, Nb, Pd and/or Rh.

  • Publication number: 20040137158
    Abstract: A method for preparing a noble metal surface on an industrial substrate for interaction with an organic material. The method includes covering the substrate with a sequence of metal layers which may include one or more adhesion layers, one or more diffusion barriers, and ends with a noble metal layer. In an optional second step, the noble metal layer may be annealed in order to stabilize its crystal structure. Finally, the noble metal layer is subjected to one or more ion bombardment steps, which are effective to clean and precisely smooth the top surface of the noble metal layer.
