  • Patent number: 11851758
    Abstract: Methods of manufacturing a semiconductor processing chamber showerheads may include forming a melted aluminum alloy composition, cooling the melted aluminum alloy composition at a rate of at least 103 K/sec to form solid aluminum alloy particles, and forming a core region of a showerhead from the solid aluminum alloy particles. The core region of the showerhead may include an inner core region and an outer core region that may be coupled together. The inner core region may define a plurality of apertures. The outer core region may define a channel that receives a heating element. The methods may include coating the core region with one of aluminum or aluminum oxide and joining a peripheral edge of the outer core region with an inner edge of a metallic annular liner. The metallic annular liner may have a lower thermal conductivity than the core region of the showerhead.

  • Patent number: 10242398
    Abstract: A method may include receiving at an online payment service hosted on a first system, detailed information from an auction management (AM) system, the AM system hosted on a second system remote from the first system. The information may concern an item purchased by a user from a network-based commerce facility and placed in a virtual shopping cart on the AM system. The detailed information may be sent by the AM system in response to receiving an intent to proceed with payment for the item. A user interface may be communicated to the user that facilitates processing of the payment for the item. The processing may include marking the payment as being an AM payment. The interface may allow the user to view the detailed information and the detailed information describing contents of the virtual shopping cart on the AM system.
