X, Y, and N are integers greater than 1, and N is less than or equal to X*Y. Each of the N resistive heaters have a first terminal and a second terminal. The ceramic plate includes Y conductors arranged in a first layer of the ceramic plate, and X conductors arranged in a second layer of the ceramic plate.

Publication number: 20220277928Abstract: Systems and methods of the disclosure perform in situ sensing and real time compensation of various non-uniformities in substrate processing systems. A plasma non-uniformity is sensed by determining a temperature distribution across a matrix of a plurality of micro-heaters disposed in the substrate support. Alternatively, the plasma non-uniformity is sensed by determining heat flux through the substrate support using the matrix heaters and one or more heaters used to heat one or more zones of the substrate support. The plasma non-uniformity is compensated by adjusting one or more parameters such as power supplied to the matrix heaters, RF power supplied to generate plasma, chemistry and/or flow rate of gas or gases used to generate plasma, settings of thermal control units or chillers, and so on. Additionally, non-uniformities inherent in the substrate support are sensed using the zone and matrix heaters and are compensated by adjusting the one or more parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2020Publication date: September 1, 2022Inventors: Changyou JING, Benny WU, Oleksandr MIKHNENKO, Slobodan MITROVIC

Patent number: 10598644Abstract: Various samples are generated on a substrate. The samples each includes or consists of one or more analytes. In some instances, the samples are generated through the use of gels or through vapor deposition techniques. The samples are used in an instrument for screening large numbers of analytes by locating the samples between a working electrode and a counter electrode assembly. The instrument also includes one or more light sources for illuminating each of the samples. The instrument is configured to measure the photocurrent formed through a sample as a result of the illumination of the sample.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2017Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignees: California Institute of Technology, The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: John M. Gregoire, Jian Jin, Kevin S. Kan, Martin R. Marcin, Slobodan Mitrovic, Paul F. Newhouse, Santosh K. Suram, Chengxiang Xiang, Lan Zhou

Publication number: 20190367745Abstract: Production of a passivation layer from at least one mass, the mass forming a tearable protective layer for a first side surface of an adhesive roll after drying and/or after a chemical reaction. Performing the passivation of a side surface of an adhesive roll more quickly and also in a simpler manner is provided by a method having the following steps: a) applying at least one first layer of the mass to a surface or to both surfaces of a production base for the passivation element, the layer adhering to the production base; b) at least partially drying and/or curing the layer to form a passivation layer. Production of a passivation element by a passivation layer is achieved by at least one of the following steps: cutting the passivation layer to size with or without the production base and/or removing part of the passivation layer from the production base as the passivation element.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2018Publication date: December 5, 2019Inventor: Slobodan MITROVIC

Patent number: 9645109Abstract: Electrochemical or electrochemical and photochemical experiments are performed on a collection of samples by suspending a drop of electrolyte solution between an electrochemical experiment probe and one of the samples that serves as a test sample. During the electrochemical experiment, the electrolyte solution is added to the drop and an output solution is removed from the drop. The probe and collection of samples can be moved relative to one another so the probe can be scanned across the samples.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2015Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignees: California Institute of Technology, Lawrence Berkeley National LaboratoryInventors: Jian Jin, Chengxiang Xiang, John M.
