  • Patent number: 12006589
    Abstract: A purification apparatus and a method of purifying hot zone parts are provided. The purification apparatus is configured to remove impurities attached on at least one hot zone part. The purification apparatus includes a crystal high temperature furnace, an enclosed box disposed in the crystal high temperature furnace, an outer tube connected to the crystal high temperature furnace and the enclosed box, an inner tube disposed in the outer tube, and a gas inlet cover connected to the outer tube. The crystal high temperature furnace includes a furnace body, a furnace cover, and a thermal field module disposed in the furnace body. The gas inlet cover is configured to input a noble gas into the enclosed box through the inner tube, and the thermal field module is configured to heat the noble gas so that the impurities are heated and vaporized through the noble gas.

  • Publication number: 20240181568
    Abstract: A method for producing graphene, configured for forming a graphene layer on a surface of an object. The method includes steps of: depositing a poly-p-xylene material layer on the surface: and converting the poly-p-xylene material layer into a graphene layer by using a laser sintering process or a plasma-assisted sintering process.

  • Patent number: 10373818
    Abstract: Methods are provided for recycling a dummy wafer so that the dummy wafer may be repeatedly used in a deposition process. The dummy wafer includes a substrate and an oxide layer on the substrate that is formed by the deposition process. A thickness of the oxide layer on the dummy wafer may be measured, and the dummy wafer may be subjected to recycling depending on whether the measured thickness of the oxide layer exceeds a threshold thickness. The dummy wafer is recycled by removing the oxide layer, which may be accomplished by performing an etching process. A mechanical polishing process may be performed to smooth the surface of the substrate. The dummy wafer may then be reused in a subsequent deposition process.
