摘要:
In metalizing apparatus employing wire as a source of metalizing material, wire with rectangular cross-section is employed and is fed toward the heated boat of the metalizing apparatus in a specific orientation. This cross-section tends to avoid kinking of the wire, clogging the guide tube which feeds the wire toward the boat, and reduces the criticalility of the hardness of the wire used in the metalizing process.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a containment vessel which is particularly useful in melting aluminum. The vessel of the present invention is a multilayered vessel characterized by being electrically conductive, essentially nonwettable by and nonreactive with molten aluminum. The vessel is formed by coating a tantalum substrate of a suitable configuration with a mixture of yttria and particulate metal borides. The yttria in the coating inhibits the wetting of the coating while the boride particulate material provides the electrical conductivity through the vessel. The vessel of the present invention is particularly suitable for use in melting aluminum by ion bombardment.

This invention relates more particularly to an electron-gun metal evaporation system for solder (lead/tin, lead/indium) deposition upon integrated circuit chips. This system utilizes a crucible comprised of a tantalum bent-cone V-shaped liner or cup seated in spaced relationship in a recess of a copper hearth.

A vapor deposition apparatus including a vacuum chamber, a vacuum pump for evacuating the chamber, and a mounting assembly disposed within the chamber and adapted to support and electrically isolate a plurality of substrate electrode units to be coated. Electrical couplings connect the electrode units to a power supply that establishes therebetween potential gradients that produce a glow discharge and resultant heating thereof. Also disposed within the vacuum chamber is a source of evaporative coating for deposition on the glow discharge heated electrode units.

For the loading of evaporators in vapor coating plants with shaped pieces made of vapor coating materials there is used an apparatus which is characterized by rolls having indentations for receiving the shaped pieces, centered on a rotatable shaft and surrounded by a closely fitting housing by a moving part having gradual feed fastened on the shaft and by a swivelable shaft moveable into a resting position and into a loading position, on which there is mounted the shaft having rolls via fastening elements. Thereby the housing of the rolls is provided with a recess corresponding to the shaped pieces, which is located in the loading position directly above the evaporator. Because there is only a short time loading process there is no need to cool and there is avoided influencing of the vaporization by the action of moving.
摘要:
A nozzle beam source for use in the vapor deposition of electrode materials such as gold, during the fabrication of precision quartz-crystal resonators, or the like. The nozzle beam source includes a graphite crucible and source tube, a tungsten wick within the source tube, and graphite-to-graphite mechanical seals.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for using emitting, ionizing, accelerating and collecting elements in a high vacuum to implant a hard film on a plastic substrate or the like. In preparation, a slug of a selected material to be deposited as a film is placed in the emitter. The specimens or articles to be implanted are placed on supports in the vicinity of the collector. A cover enclosure is then placed in position and the region enclosed by the cover is exhausted to a high vacuum. Selected potentials are applied to various elements of the apparatus and an accelerating/directing field which may be developed electrostatically, magnetically or by a combination of both, is developed in the acceleration structure. The electrostatic field causes electron emission from the ionizing elements to develop an increased charge on the emitted ionized particles. When implantation is to begin, a shutter control is moved out of beam blocking position and ionized particles from the emitter pick up additional charge from the ionizing elements and are accelerated to high velocity for bombarding the specimens. The collector is provided near the end of the enclosure beyond the specimen support region. The specimens are discharged regularly to eliminate the build-up of surface charge from the stream of bombarding ions.
摘要:
Thermochemical Treatment System and Process for the treatment of steel or steel alloys by ionic bombardment. Two successive stages of operation are involved in which during the first stage, a DC voltage is applied across the electrodes of a furnace so that the furnace operates at a point far enough away from the arc formation zone to prevent formation of an arc and lies in the zone of abnormal discharge. During the second stage, a succession of pulses of voltage pulses of high voltage but of limited energy is applied to the furnace electrodes, and the operating point of the furnace moves along the voltage-intensity curve to a limit point far enough away from the arc formation zone, so that no arc formation takes place.
摘要:
A method of and apparatus for growing films composed of low-melting-point materials from a feed material whose constituents have large differences in vapor pressure. In the system disclosed, the feed material is contained within an ampoule whose only outlet is a downwardly directed capillary tube and delivered in the form of a melt to a heated environment whose temperature is higher than the temperature of vaporization of the constituent of the feed material having the highest vaporization temperature, thereby to effect flash vaporization of the liquid and thus avoid changes in composition or phase separation.
