Michael Pickering 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).

  • Publication number: 20080000851
    Abstract: A wafer holding apparatus including a plurality of rods joined at opposite ends to endplates by joints having flanges with a fillet radius. The joints which join the component parts of the apparatus provide a stable wafer holding apparatus for manual handling as well as for the harsh processing conditions of semiconductor wafer processing chambers.

  • Publication number: 20070128837
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for providing reduced particle generating silicon carbide. The silicon carbide articles may be used as component parts in apparatus used to process semiconductor wafers. The reduced particle generation during semiconductor processing reduces contamination on semiconductor wafers thus increasing their yield.

  • Publication number: 20050000412
    Abstract: A chemical vapor deposited, ? phase polycrystalline silicon carbide having a high thermal conductivity and reduced stacking faults. The silicon carbide is synthesized under specific conditions using hydrogen gas and methyltrichlorosilane gas as reactants. The thermal conductivity of the silicon carbide is sufficiently high such that it can be employed as parts of apparatus and components of electrical devices where a high heat load is generated. Such components may include active thermoelectric coolers, heat sinks and fans.

  • Patent number: 5150507
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for fabricating lightweight honeycomb type structures out of material such as silicon carbide (SiC) and silicon (S). The lightweight structure consists of a core to define the shape and size of the structure. The core is coated with an appropriate deposit such as SiC or Si to give the lightweight structure strength and stiffness and for bonding the lightweight structure to another surface. The core is fabricated from extremely thin ribs of appropriately stiff and strong material such as graphite. First, a graphite core consisting of an outer hexagonal cell with six inner triangular cells is constructed from the graphite ribs. The graphite core may be placed on the back-up side of a SiC faceplate and then coated with SiC to produce a monolithic structure without the use of any bonding agent. Cores and methods for the fabrication thereof in which the six inner triangular cells are further divided into a plurality of cells are also disclosed.
