    Abstract: Plasma deposition in which properties of a discharge plasma are controlled by modifying the grounding path of the plasma is potentially applicable in any plasma deposition environment, but finds particular use in ionized physical vapor deposition (iPVD) gapfill applications. Plasma flux ion energy and E/D ratio can be controlled by modifying the grounding path (grounding surface's location, shape and/or area). Control of plasma properties in this way can reduce or eliminate reliance on conventional costly and complicated RF systems for plasma control. For a high density plasma source, the ionization fraction and ion energy can be high enough that self-sputtering may occur even without any RF bias. And unlike RF induced sputtering, self-sputtering has narrow ion energy distribution, which provides better process controllability and larger process window for integration.

  • Publication number: 20140127949
    Abstract: An electrical connector mountable on a printed circuit board and adapted for mating with a complementary connector, comprises an insulative housing and pairs of power contacts. The housing defines a plurality of passageways each having inside walls. Each pair of power contacts includes two separate, opposed power contacts. Each power contact has a contacting portion, a tail portion and an intermediate portion interconnecting the contacting portion and the tail portion. The tail portions of the pair of power contacts are arranged into two rows. One tail portion of one row of tail portions is formed with a protrusion therealong and one tail portion of the other row of tail portions is also formed with a protrusion. The distance between the two tail portions with protrusions located at different rows is larger than any other two tail portions.

  • Publication number: 20140127950
    Abstract: An electrical connector comprises an insulative housing and a plurality of conductive terminals fixed to the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a pair of longer walls and a pair of short walls bounding a plug-receiving cavity with an insertion direction. The conductive terminals include plate portions partly embedded in inner surfaces of the longer walls and welded portions extending out of the insulative housing. The inner surface of the longer walls define Positioning grooves between every adjacent terminals. Each of the plate portion of the conductive terminal defines a contacting surface faced to the plug-receiving cavity and two side edges intersecting with the opening edge of corresponding Positioning groove. The structure of the connector contributes to an insert molding of the connector. It is convenient not only to terminal implant and but also to a precise positioning of two directions of the terminals during the insert molding process.

    Abstract: This two-layer weave for non-woven fabric fulfills the required characteristics of weaves for unwoven fabrics such as stiffness while increasing the effect of preventing adhesion of fibers, etc., and maintains the antifouling effect despite surface wear occasioned by long-term use in industrial processes involving nonwoven fabric. In this weave for a nonwoven fabric, a top weave constituted from top warp threads and top weft threads and a bottom weave constituted from bottom warp threads and bottom weft threads are bonded by means of weft-binding threads. The weft-binding threads are woven together so as to bond internally, and the top warp threads and the top weft threads are characterized by being formed from a fluororesin.
