  • Patent number: 10510517
    Abstract: A cleaning apparatus of an exhaust path of a process reaction chamber used in a manufacturing of articles including a semiconductor or an LCD. The cleaning apparatus of the exhaust path includes a housing having an inflow pipe, connected to an upstream end of the exhaust path, an outflow pipe, connected to a downstream end of the exhaust path, and a connecting pipe disposed between the inflow pipe and the outflow pipe. A radio frequency generator in the housing applies radio frequency power to the inflow pipe and to the outflow pipe via respective coils. Plasma induced within the inflow and outflow pipes from RF power applied via the respective coils causes the generation of radicals from the exhaust gas flowing within. The radicals act to dislodge accumulated particulates within the exhaust path downstream of the cleaning apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20170316921
    Abstract: A VHF Z-coil semiconductor processing plasma source uses Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) and has a Z-shaped coil wound about a chamber in two interconnected turns. High frequency RF electric power of from 40 MHz to 120 MHz is supplied by a power source to the coil. A process gas introduced into the chamber is energized by the coil and generates plasma ions of high density suitable for semiconductor dry etching.

  • Publication number: 20170314132
    Abstract: A plasma reactor for generating a plasma for use in depositing a thin film on a large area wafer, such as in the manufacturing of solar cells. A plasma electrode unit in the plasma reactor is divided into a plurality of discrete electrodes, and RF electric power is sequentially applied to the divided plasma electrodes in accordance with a predefined sequence of temporal intervals as controlled by a sequence control unit. The sequential application of RF power across the divided plasma electrode unit resolves a standing wave problem in the plasma applied over a large area corresponding to a large area wafer.

  • Publication number: 20170314133
    Abstract: A plasma reactor for generating a plasma for use in depositing a thin film on a large area wafer, such as in the manufacturing of solar cells. A plasma electrode unit in the plasma reactor is divided into a plurality of discrete electrodes, and RF electric power is sequentially applied to the divided plasma electrodes in accordance with a phase angle detected by a phase control unit. The sequential application of high frequency RF power across the divided plasma electrode unit resolves a standing wave problem in the plasma applied over a large area corresponding to a large area wafer.

  • Publication number: 20130241322
    Abstract: A linear vibrator being used in a mobile phone is provided. The linear vibrator includes a ring-shape permanent magnet in the outside of a cylindrical coil, and the poles of the permanent magnet are divided into the inside of the permanent magnet facing the coil and the outside of the permanent magnet in a direction opposite to the inside of the permanent magnet. Accordingly, efficiency can be improved, a size can be reduced, and productivity and durability can be improved.
