Patent number: 11911842Abstract: A crystalline material processing method includes forming subsurface laser damage at a first average depth position to form cracks in the substrate interior propagating outward from at least one subsurface laser damage pattern, followed by imaging the substrate top surface, analyzing the image to identify a condition indicative of presence of uncracked regions within the substrate, and taking one or more actions responsive to the analyzing. One potential action includes changing an instruction set for producing subsequent laser damage formation (at second or subsequent average depth positions), without necessarily forming additional damage at the first depth position. Another potential action includes forming additional subsurface laser damage at the first depth position.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: WOLFSPEED, INC.Inventors: Matthew Donofrio, John Edmond, Harshad Golakia, Eric Mayer

Publication number: 20220260756Abstract: Provided is an optical element for a lithographic apparatus. The optical element includes a capping layer that includes oxygen vacancies therein. The oxygen vacancies prevent attack of the capping layer by preventing hydrogen and other species from penetrating the capping layer and underlying layers. The capping layer provides a low hydrogen recombination rate enabling hydrogen to clean the surface of the optical element. The capping layer may include an alloyed metal, a mixed metal oxide or a doped metal oxide and it may be a ruthenium capping layer that includes one or more dopants therein.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2020Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: Yue Ma, Marcus Adrianus Van De Kerkhof, Qiushi Zhu, Klaus Martin Hummler, Peter Matthew Mayer, Kay Hoffmann, Andrew David LaForge, Igor Vladimirovich Fomenkov, Daniel John William Brown

Patent number: 10941941Abstract: A center body assembly for a lean direct injection fuel injector is disclosed. The center body assembly defines a primary liquid passage, a liquid gallery, a liquid main first passage, a liquid main second passage, and an atomizer assembly. The primary liquid passage supplies liquid fuel to the liquid gallery. The liquid gallery aligns with the primary liquid passage and distributes fuel to the liquid main first passage, and subsequently to the liquid main second passage. The atomizer assembly is in flow communication with the liquid main second passage and provides atomized fuel for combustion.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2018Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: Solar Turbines IncorporatedInventors: Michael Ramotowski, Matthew Mayer, Donald Cramb, Sean K.

Patent number: 10227874Abstract: A tooling fixture assembly for processing a component of a gas turbine engine is provided. The tooling fixture assembly includes a component nesting fixture for precisely positioning the component within the fixture using a plurality of datum locators. A transfer block is also positioned at a known location and orientation relative to the component and an adhesive is used to fix the relative position of the component and the transfer block. The component and the transfer block are then removed from the component nesting fixture and installed on a machine for drilling, machining, or otherwise processing the component. After the machining is complete, the adhesive may be removed, such that the component may be detached from the transfer block.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2016Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Inventors: Todd Gary Heinrich, Brian William Howard, Jonathan E.
