Abstract: Validation of a firmware image on a client device is disclosed. Information corresponding to one or more addresses of an image stored on a client device is periodically requested via an application program interface (API) configured to provide access to the image on the client device. The requested information from the image on the client device is compared with the image stored on the server image with stored validation information corresponding to a valid version of the image. An indication is generated if the information from the image on the client device does not match the stored validation information.

Abstract: Embodiments of a gas diffuser plate for distributing gas in a processing chamber are provided. The gas distribution plate includes a diffuser plate having an upstream side and a downstream side, and a plurality of gas passages passing between the upstream and downstream sides of the diffuser plate. The gas passages include hollow cathode cavities at the downstream side to enhance plasma ionization. The depths, the diameters, the surface area and density of hollow cathode cavities of the gas passages that extend to the downstream end can be gradually increased from the center to the edge of the diffuser plate to improve the film thickness and property uniformity across the substrate. The increasing diameters, depths and surface areas from the center to the edge of the diffuser plate can be created by bending the diffuser plate toward downstream side, followed by machining out the convex downstream side. Bending the diffuser plate can be accomplished by a thermal process or a vacuum process.
