  • Patent number: 11961958
    Abstract: A composition includes an electrode made of Lithium Manganese Oxyfluoride (LMOF). A single layer separator adheres to a surface of the electrode, is a dielectric that is conductive for Lithium ions but not electrons, and has top and bottom sides. A solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) saturates the electrode so that the LMOF is between 55 percent and 85 percent by mass of a composition of the LMOF electrode and the SPE is between 7.5 percent and 20 percent by mass of the composition of the LMOF electrode. The SPE saturates the separator so that the SPE resides both on the separator top and bottom sides so that the SPE residing on the separator top side contacts the surface. The LMOF exhibits X-Ray Diffraction spectrum peaks between twenty-two and twenty-four 2-theta degrees, between forty-eight and fifty 2-theta degrees, between fifty-four and fifty-six 2-theta degrees, and between fifty-six and fifty-eight 2-theta degrees.

  • Patent number: 9890455
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention generally relates to apparatus for use in film depositions. The apparatus generally include pre-heat rings adapted to be positioned in a processing chamber. In one embodiment, a pre-heat ring includes a ring having an inner edge and an outer edge. The outer edge has a constant radius. The inner edge is oblong-shaped and may have a first portion having a constant radius measured from a center of a circle defined by an outer circumference of the ring. A second portion may have a constant radius measured from a location other than the center of the outer circumference. In another embodiment, a processing chamber includes a pre-heat ring positioned around the periphery of a substrate support. The pre-heat ring includes an inner edge having a first portion, a second portion, and one or more linear portions positioned between the first portion and the second portion.

  • Publication number: 20100075488
    Abstract: An apparatus for processing a substrate, comprising a processing chamber and a substrate support and lift pin assembly disposed within the chamber. The substrate support and lift pin assembly are coupled to a lift mechanism that controls positioning of the substrate support and the lift pins and provides rotation for the substrate support. The lift mechanism includes at least one sensor capable of generating a signal when clearance between the substrate support and the lift pins allows rotation of the substrate support to begin. The substrate support capable of concurrent axial motion and rotation may be used in a processing chamber comprising multiple processing zones separated by edge rings. Substrates may be subjected to successive or cyclical processes by moving between the multiple processing zones.
