Patent number: 6722665Abstract: A sealing assembly is provided for sealing retractable opposing planar surfaces of processing modules each having sealable cavities for the fabrication of semiconductor wafers. The sealing assembly may include an inner frame adapted to be concentrically positioned within a central opening of an outer frame. The outer frame may include lifting tabs attached to an upper portion such that the lifting tabs are graspable to removably position the sealing assembly between the opposing planar surfaces of the processing modules. An O-ring, which may include an elastomeric material, is adapted to fit about a circumference of the inner frame. The opposing surfaces of the processing modules define an opening therebetween which accepts the sealing assembly. The opposing surfaces of the modules are retractably movable towards one another thereby coupling the O-ring between the opposing planar surfaces to provide a seal.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2002Date of Patent: April 20, 2004Assignee: Novellus Systems, Inc.Inventors: Christopher W. Burkhart, Keith Wood

Patent number: 6669205Abstract: A gasket for interposition between a first and an opposing second interface surface of a sealing assembly. The gasket includes a retainer and a generally annular seal element received in a groove formed into at least one side of the retainer. Such retainer side further is formed as having one or more channels extending extend radially through the groove and the inner or outer perimeter of the retainer. Each such channel defines a vent for relieving hydrostatic fluid pressure as the gasket is compressed between the interface surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2002Date of Patent: December 30, 2003Assignee: Parker-Hannifin CorporationInventor: Douglas C.
