  • Patent number: 8961688
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a device for plasma treating workpieces (5). Said workpiece is inserted into a chamber (7) of a treatment station (3), which can be at least partly evacuated, and is positioned within the treatment station by means of a holding element. In order to simultaneously supply at least two chambers with at least one operating means, a flow of the operating means is branched at least once so as to form at least two partial flows (55).

  • Patent number: 7810448
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for the coating of hollow bodies, in particular for the internal coating of plastic drinks bottles by means of a PICVD. It is an object of the invention to ensure a flexible process sequence, a high throughput, an improved supply of fluid and a high-quality coating. The invention in particular proposes a rotary apparatus which comprises a treatment device with double reactors for receiving in each case at least one workpiece, a fluid supply apparatus and at least one fluid control device, which can be used to control the supply of fluid to the treatment device. It is preferable for the vacuum pumps to be arranged on the rotor such that they rotate therewith.

  • Patent number: 7126143
    Abstract: A method for generating extreme ultraviolet radiation and soft x-ray radiation with a gas discharge operated on the left branch of the Paschen curve, in particular, for EUV lithography, wherein a discharge chamber (10) of a predetermined gas pressure and two electrodes (11, 12) are used, wherein the electrodes have an opening (14, 15), respectively, positioned on the same symmetry axis (13) and, in the course of a voltage increase (16) upon reaching a predetermined ignition voltage (Uz), generate a plasma (17) located in the area between their openings (14, 15), which plasma is a source of the radiation (17?) to be generated, wherein an ignition of the plasma (17) is realized by affecting the gas pressure and/or by triggering, and wherein, with the ignition of the plasma (17), an energy storage device supplies by means of the electrodes (11, 12) stored energy into the plasma (17), characterized in that the ignition of the plasma (17) is realized by using a predetermined ignition delay (18).

  • Patent number: 7074275
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for coating hollow bodies, e.g. plastic drinks bottles. It is an object of the invention to provide an apparatus for treating workpieces which operates reliably and with low maintenance, can be flexibly adapted to the user's requirements or to the requirements of the desired process sequence, and which allows efficient evacuation. The apparatus according to the invention comprises at least one treatment device (101) for receiving at least one workpiece, a rotor on which the treatment device is arranged, a fluid rotary leadthrough for feeding at least one fluid onto the rotor and/or for discharging at least one fluid from the rotor, the fluid rotary leadthrough having a journal and a sleeve, which at least in sections are sealed off from one another, and the journal being arranged rotatably in the sleeve. The proposed radial arrangement is particularly unsusceptible to faults and entails little maintenance.
