Patents by Inventor Zachary Philip Lee

Zachary Philip Lee 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).

  • Patent number: 8916338
    Abstract: Processes associated apparatus and compositions useful for removing organic substances from substrates, for example, electronic device substrates such as microelectronic wafers or flat panel displays, are provided. Processes are presented that apply a minimum volume of a composition as a coating to the inorganic substrate whereby sufficient heat is added and the organic substances are completely removed by rinsing. The compositions and processes may be suitable for removing and, in some instances, completely dissolving photoresists of the positive and negative varieties as well as thermoset polymers from electronic devices.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 19, 2013
    Date of Patent: December 23, 2014
    Assignee: Eastman Chemical Company
    Inventors: Michael Wayne Quillen, Dale Edward O'Dell, Zachary Philip Lee, John Cleaon Moore, Edward Enns McEntire, Spencer Erich Hochstetler, Richard Dalton Peters, Rodney Scott Armentrout, Darryl W. Muck

  • Patent number: 8444768
    Abstract: Compositions and methods useful for the removal of organic substances from substrates, for example, electronic device substrates such as microelectronic wafers or flat panel displays, are provided. A method is presented which applies a minimum volume of the composition as a coating to the inorganic substrate whereby sufficient heat is added and immediately rinsed with water to achieve complete removal. These compositions and methods are particularly suitable for removing and completely dissolving photoresists of the positive and negative varieties as well as thermoset polymers from electronic devices.
