  • Publication number: 20230062852
    Abstract: A reticle carrier described herein is configured to quickly discharge the residual charge on a reticle so as to reduce, minimize, and/or prevent particles in the reticle carrier from being attracted to and/or transferred to the reticle. In particular, the reticle carrier may be configured to provide reduced capacitance between an inner baseplate of the reticle carrier and the reticle. The reduction in capacitance may reduce the resistance-capacitance (RC) time constant for discharging the residual charge on the reticle, which may increase the discharge speed for discharging the residual charge through support pins of the reticle carrier. The increase in discharge speed may reduce the likelihood that an electrostatic force in the reticle carrier may attract particles in the reticle carrier to the reticle.

  • Publication number: 20230060598
    Abstract: An EUV photolithography system utilizes a baseplate of an EUV pod to unload an EUV reticle from a chuck within an EUV scanner. The baseplate includes a top surface and support pins extending from the top surface. The when the reticle is unloaded onto the baseplate, the support pins hold the reticle at relatively large distance from the top surface of the baseplate. The support pins have a relatively low resistance. The large distance and low resistance help ensure that particles do not travel from the baseplate to the reticle during unloading.

  • Patent number: 11512333
    Abstract: A method for producing ectoine by fermenting recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum. The recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum is obtained by overexpressing, in Corynebacterium glutamicum, an aspartokinase gene lysC of which feedback inhibition is relieved, then replacing the promoter of the dihydrodipicolinate synthase in the recombinant bacterium to attenuate the activity of the dihydropyrimidine dicarboxylic acid synthase, and then transforming the recombinant bacterium with the ectoine synthetic path related gene ectABC. The recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum can be fermented using different cheap raw materials under a low salt condition to produce ectoine, and use cheap corn slurry instead of expensive yeast powder as a nutritional component, so as to further reduce the costs of the raw materials. In addition, the recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum solves the biosafety problem, simplifies the post-extraction process, and has a good market application prospect.
