| 20100327181 | ION IMPLANTATION APPARATUS - A hydrogen ion implanter for the exfoliation of silicon from silicon wafers uses a large scan wheel carrying 50+ wafers around its periphery and rotating about an axis. In one embodiment, the axis of rotation of the wheel is fixed and the wheel is formed with tensioned spokes supporting a rim carrying the wafer supports. The spokes may be used for carrying cooling fluid to and from the wafer supports. In one embodiment, a ribbon beam of hydrogen ions is directed down on a peripheral edge of the wheel. The ribbon beam extends over the full radial width of wafers on the wheel. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20080224491 | Workpiece Gripping Device - A gripper for use with a robot includes a support body for removably attaching the gripper to a moveable arm and a workpiece contact body having a groove extending along at least a portion of the contact body for engaging a curved outer edge of the workpiece. A coupling member connects the support body to the workpiece contact member and includes a flexure component that flexes to allow radial and/or tangential relative movement of the workpiece contact body with respect to the support body to diminish slippage between the workpiece and the contact body as the gripper engages the workpiece. | 09-18-2008 |

| 20090273878 | GAS BEARING ELECTROSTATIC CHUCK - An electrostatic clamp is provided having a clamping plate, wherein the clamping plate has a central region and an annulus region. A plurality of gas supply orifices are defined in the central region of the clamping plate, wherein the plurality of gas supply orifices are in fluid communication with a pressurized gas supply, and wherein the pressurized gas supply is configured to provide a cushion of gas between the clamping surface and the workpiece in the central region of the clamping plate via the plurality of gas supply orifices. One or more gas return orifices defined in one or more of the central region and annulus region of the clamping plate, wherein the one or more gas return orifices are in fluid communication with a vacuum source, therein generally defining an exhaust path for the cushion of gas. A seal is disposed in the annulus region of the clamping plate, wherein the seal is configured to generally prevent a leakage of the cushion of gas from the central region to an environment external to the annulus region. One or more electrodes are further electrically connected to a first voltage potential to provide a first clamping force. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100327189 | ION IMPLANTATION APPARATUS AND A METHOD FOR FLUID COOLING - A hydrogen ion implanter for the exfoliation of silicon from silicon wafers uses a large scan wheel carrying 50+ wafers around its periphery and rotating about an axis. In one embodiment, the axis of rotation of the wheel is fixed and the wheel is formed with tensioned spokes supporting a rim carrying the wafer supports. The spokes may be used for carrying cooling fluid to and from the wafer supports. Detachable connections in the cooling fluid conduits in the vacuum chamber may comprise tandem seals with an intermediate chamber between them which can be vented outside the vacuum chamber, or independently vacuum pumped. In one embodiment, a ribbon beam of hydrogen ions is directed down on a peripheral edge of the wheel. The ribbon beam extends over the full radial width of wafers on the wheel. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110073779 | ION IMPLANTATION APPARATUS - An ion implanter has an implant wheel with a plurality of wafer carriers distributed about a periphery of the wheel. Each wafer carrier has a heat sink for removing heat from a wafer on the carrier during the implant process by thermal contact between the wafer and the heat sink. A respective wafer lift structure on each carrier is moveable between first and second positions, with the wafer supported spaced away from the heat sink and in thermal contact with the heat sink respectively. The lift structure is operated to move between the first and second positions wheel the implant is rotating. This allows control of wafer temperature during the implant process by adjusting the thermal contact between wafers and heat sinks. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110073781 | ION IMPLANTATION APPARATUS - An ion implanter has an implant wheel with a plurality of wafer carriers distributed about a periphery of the wheel. Each wafer carrier has a heat sink for removing heat from a wafer on the carrier during the implant process by thermal contact between the wafer and the heat sink. The wafer carriers have wafer retaining fences formed as cylindrical rollers with axes in the respective wafer support planes of the wafer carriers. The cylindrical surfaces of the rollers provide wafer abutment surfaces which can move transversely to the wafer support surfaces so that no transverse loading is applied by the fences to wafer edges as the wafer is pushed against the heat sink by centrifugal force. The wafer support surfaces comprise layers of elastomeric material and the movable abutment surfaces of the fences allow even thermal coupling with the heat sink over the whole area of the wafer. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20120095747 | IN-CONTEXT EXACT (ICE) MATCHING - Methods, systems and program product are disclosed for determining a matching level of a text lookup segment with a plurality of source texts in a translation memory in terms of context. In particular, the invention determines any exact matches for the lookup segment in the plurality of source texts, and determines, in the case that at least one exact match is determined, that a respective exact match is an in-context exact (ICE) match for the lookup segment in the case that a context of the lookup segment matches that of the respective exact match. The degree of context matching required can be predetermined, and results prioritized. The invention also includes methods, systems and program products for storing a translation pair of source text and target text in a translation memory including context, and the translation memory so formed. The invention ensures that content is translated the same as previously translated content and reduces translator intervention. | 04-19-2012 |

| 20090261869 | CLOCK DOMAIN DATA TRANSFER DEVICE AND METHODS THEREOF - Two clock domains of a data processing device are each synchronized with a different clock signal. The clock signals are generated by clock generation logic. The clock generation logic also generates a transfer enable signal based on the relative frequency of each clock signal to indicate when data can be transferred between the clock domains. Further, as the relative frequency of the clock signals change, the timing of the transfer enable signal also changes to ensure reliable data transfer. | 10-22-2009 |
