Lu-Hsun LIN has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • REPELLENT ELECTRODE FOR ELECTRON REPELLING
    Publication number: 20230386778
    Abstract: The current disclosure is directed to a repellent electrode used in a source arc chamber of an ion implanter. The repellent electrode includes a shaft and a repellent body having a repellent surface. The repellent surface has a surface shape that substantially fits the shape of the inner chamber space of the source arc chamber where the repellent body is positioned. A gap between the edge of the repellent body and the inner sidewall of the source arc chamber is minimized to a threshold level that is maintained to avoid a short between the conductive repellent body and the conductive inner sidewall of the source arc chamber.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 10, 2023
    Publication date: November 30, 2023
