  • Publication number: 20200381276
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provided herein generally provide a substrate processing system that includes at least one processing module that includes a plurality of process stations coupled thereto and a substrate transferring device disposed within a transfer region of the processing module for transferring a plurality of substrates to two or more of the plurality of process stations. The methods and apparatuses disclosed herein are useful for performing vacuum processing on substrates wherein one or more substrates are transferred within the transfer region of processing module that is in direct communication with at least a portion of a processing region of a plurality of separately isolatable process stations during the process of transferring the one or more substrates.

  • Patent number: 10847971
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include a fault current limiter having a first current splitting device including a primary winding and secondary winding wound around a first core, and a second current splitting device including a primary winding and a secondary winding wound around a second core. The fault current limiter may further include a fault current limiter module (e.g., a switching module) electrically connected in series between the secondary winding of the first current splitting device and the secondary winding of the second current splitting device. The fault current limiter may further include a second fault current limiter module electrically connected in series with the secondary winding of the second current splitting device. By splitting the fault current limiter into parts with fault current limiter modules interspersed between the windings, the fault current limiter may be to be built with less insulation between the windings.
