| 20110258163 | DYNAMICALLY CREATED TWO-STAGE SELF EXTRACTING ARCHIVES - A method of dynamically creating a two-stage self-extracting archives. During the archive creation process the executable code segments for inverse algorithms are selectively added to the self-extracting archive, but only for those algorithms applied during archive creation. This results in a considerably smaller size of the self-extracting archive. Additional space savings can be achieved by reprocessing the original data to eliminate the use of any algorithm applied in the archive creation which resulted in less savings than the additional size of the corresponding inverse algorithm. The selected inverse algorithms are themselves compressed. A compact inverse algorithm is provided as ready-to-execute code, which restores the selected inverse algorithms to an executable state, and then causes them to be executed on the compressed file data. | 10-20-2011 |

| 20080289574 | THERMOCOUPLE - A thermocouple having a support tube configured to receive a pair of wires of dissimilar metals. The pair of wires of the thermocouple connected at a junction adjacent to one end of the support tube. The thermocouple further including a cap attached to the opposing end of the support tube, wherein the cap receives the free ends of the pair of wires. The cap allowing the pair of wires to translate freely therethrough to accommodate the difference in thermal expansion and contraction of the pair of wires relative to the thermal expansion and contraction of the support tube. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090052498 | THERMOCOUPLE - A thermocouple for measuring temperature at a position adjacent to a substrate being processed in a chemical vapor deposition reactor is provided. The thermocouple includes a sheath having a measuring tip. The thermocouple also includes a support tube disposed within the sheath. The thermocouple further includes first and second wires supported by the support tube. The first and second wires are formed of different metals. A junction is formed between the first and second wires, wherein the junction is located adjacent to a distal end of the support tube. A spring is disposed about a portion of the support tube. The spring is compressed to exert a spring force on the support tube to bias the junction against the measuring tip to maintain the junction in continuous contact with the measuring tip. The spring force is small enough to prevent significant deformation of the junction as well as reducing variation of spring force or junction location from one thermocouple to another. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20100089314 | SUBSTRATE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR REDUCED AUTODOPING AND BACKSIDE DEPOSITION - A substrate support system comprises a substrate holder having a plurality of passages extending between top and bottom surfaces thereof. The substrate holder supports a peripheral portion of the substrate backside so that a thin gap is formed between the substrate and the substrate holder. A hollow support member provides support to an underside of, and is configured to convey gas upward into one or more of the passages of, the substrate holder. The upwardly conveyed gas flows into the gap between the substrate and the substrate holder. Depending upon the embodiment, the gas then flows either outward and upward around the substrate edge (to inhibit backside deposition of reactant gases above the substrate) or downward through passages of the substrate holder, if any, that do not lead back into the hollow support member (to inhibit autodoping by sweeping out-diffused dopant atoms away from the substrate backside). | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100107974 | SUBSTRATE HOLDER WITH VARYING DENSITY - A substrate support system comprises a substrate holder for supporting a substrate. The substrate holder comprises an interior portion sized and shaped to extend beneath most or all of a substrate supported on the substrate holder. The substrate holder has mass density that varies, preferably in order to compensate for variations in substrate temperature owing to surface geometry variations of the interior portion, so as to provide a more uniform thermal coupling between the substrate and substrate holder. The substrate holder is preferably configured to be spaced further apart from a substrate at the center than at the outer perimeter. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100145547 | THERMOCOUPLE - A thermocouple for use in a semiconductor processing reaction is described. The thermocouple includes a sheath having a measuring tip and an opening at the opposing end. A support member that receives a portion of a first wire and a second wire is received within the sheath. The first and second wires form a junction that contacts the inner surface of the sheath at the measuring tip. A spacing member is secured at the opening of the sheath and receives the support member. The spacing member allows the support member, first wire, and second wire to freely thermally expand relative to each other without introducing compression or tension stresses therein. | 06-10-2010 |
