  • Publication number: 20250020536
    Abstract: Sensors outside of a control loop are used in a single axis electrodynamic shaker where an armature exerts variable amounts of vibration with a single degree of freedom on a test unit affixed to a support table. The sensors are remote from the test unit, such as laser sensors measuring movement of the test unit. Typically an array of such shakers move a support table having an affixed test unit. A controller uses inputs from the remote sensors to signal warnings of overturning moments of the support table that can damage the armatures or to shut down.

  • Publication number: 20240153750
    Abstract: System and methods of improving dynamic pressure response during recipe step transitions. An exemplary method may include changing at least one of a plurality of recipe parameters in accordance with a processing recipe while running the processing recipe on a semiconductor substrate in a processing chamber. The method may further include measuring a pressure response in the processing chamber responsive to the changing of the at least one of the plurality of recipe parameters, and determining a response error based on the pressure response and a model pressure response calculated based on the processing recipe. The method may further include, in response to determining that the response error may be greater than a threshold value, calculating an adjustment to an operation of a valve downstream of the processing chamber when changing the at least one of the plurality of recipe parameters in accordance with the processing recipe in subsequent runs.
