Patents by Inventor Zefang WANG

Zefang WANG 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).

  • Publication number: 20240379469
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for determining the endpoint of an etch operation used for forming high aspect ratio features and/or over low open area (<1%) on a substrate in a processing chamber. The method begins by obtaining a reference emission curve. An etch operation is performed on a patterned substrate. A plasma optical emission intensity is measured for each of the etch cycles. A differential curve between the reference emission and the plasma optical emissions is calculated. And endpoint is determined for the etch operation on the first substrate based on an inflection point detection or other unique features through pattern recognition in the differential curve for stopping the etch of the first substrate.

  • Patent number: 11402325
    Abstract: Provided is a method for identifying authenticity and origin of Panax quinquefolius based on terahertz spectroscopy. The time domain spectral information of the Panax quinquefolius sample is obtained, and converted into the frequency domain spectral information by Fourier transform to calculate a terahertz absorption spectrum. The identification is performed by observing whether there are characteristic absorption peaks of pseudoginsenoside F11 in the terahertz absorption spectrum.
