    Abstract: An open apparatus is described for the processing of planar thin semiconductor substrates, particularly for the processing of solar cells. The apparatus includes a first zone for the drying and burn-out of organic components from solid or liquid based dopant sources pre-applied to the substrates. The zone is isolated from the remaining zones of the apparatus by an isolating section to prevent cross-contamination between burn-out zone and the remaining processing zones. All the zones of the apparatus may be formed from a quartz tube around which heaters are placed for raising the temperature inside the quartz tube. Each zone may be purged with a suitable mixture of gases, e.g. inert gases such as argon, as well as oxygen and nitrogen. The zones may also be provided with gaseous dopants such as POCl.sub.3 and the present invention includes the sequential diffusion of more than one dopant into the substrates. Some of the zones may be used for driving-in the dopants alternatively, for other processes, e.g. oxidation. The present invention also includes a method of operating the apparatus and the use of the apparatus in processing solar cells.

    Abstract: Green coffee either whole, flaked or ground is subjected to heat and a mechanical force preferably containing a shearing component sufficient to roast the coffee. The roasting produces a roasted coffee product having higher soluble solids whether atmospherically or pressure extracted compared to a conventional hot air roasts. The increased soluble solids content provides regular coffee wherein substantial reductions in the amount of coffee employed to prepare a brew are possible and in addition provides a soluble percolate of higher concentrations and at better yield in the manufacture of soluble coffee. The mechanical pressure roasting further provides improved controllable acidity but not in the order of that obtained by pressure roasting in the presence of large excesses of steam. The mechanical pressure roasting of coffee has been found to upgrade the flavor of Robusta-type coffees by removing typically tarry notes.

    Abstract: Undesirable aroma components and gases can be removed from coffee beans during roasting by intermittent additions of moisture to the coffee during roasting, in amounts ranging from 3 percent to 40 percent by weight of the beans, thereby driving out the volatiles and unexpectedly improving the flavor. This process of upgrading coffee and changing its flavor characteristics occurs within the same roaster.

    Abstract: COFFEE IS PREDRIED TO A MOISTURE CONTENT BELOW ABOUT 7% BY WEIGHT UNDER CONDITIONS WHEREBY ROASTING DOES NOT OCCUR. THE PREDRIED COFFEE IS THEN ROASTED AT A TEMPERATURE BELOW THE CRITICAL BURNING TEMPERATURE UNTIL A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF THE ROASTING IS COMPLETED. THE COFFEE IS NEXT FURTHER HEATED TO BRING ITS TEMPERATURE TO THE CRITICAL BURNING TEMPERATURE FOR A BRIEF PERIOD, THEN RAPIDLY QUENCHED.

    Abstract: An apparatus for opening/closing a process chamber door of an oven for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes a boss formed at one side of an opening of the process chamber, a shaft which passes freely through the center of the boss, bearings attached to the process chamber and rotatably supporting the ends of the shaft, a driver for rotating the shaft in opposite directions over a predetermined angle, and a door that seals the opening, one side of the door being attached to the shaft so as to be moved when the shaft rotates. Alternatively, the present invention provides a pair of bearings disposed beside one side of an opening of the process chamber, a shaft whose ends are rotatably supported by the bearings, a bracket having one end fixed to the shaft, and another end fixed to the door. A driver also rotates the shaft over a predetermined angle that opens and closes the door.

    Abstract: A CONTINUOUS PROCESS FOR ROASTING COFFE INVOLVING (1) THE CONTINUOUS AND PROGRESSIVE PREHEATING OF GREEN COFFEE BEANS IN THE PRESENCE OF STEAM AT 60 TO 200 P.S.I. FOR 5 TO 15 MINUTES TO EFFECT HYDROLYSIS AND PARTIAL ROASTING OF THE BEANS, PREHEATING DEVELOPING A CHARACTERISTIC FLAVOR AND AROMA PROFILE (AS DETERMINED BY GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY) WHICH, HOWEVER, IS NOT FULLY DEVELOPED (AS DETERMINED ORGANOLEPTICALLY FOLLOWING AQUEOUS EXTRACTION) (2) THE CONTINUOUS AND PROGRESSIVE DISCHARGE OF THE PREHEATED BEANS TO THE ATMOSPHERE AND (3) THE IMMEDIATE CONTINUOUS AND PROGRESSIVE ROASTING OF THE PREHEATED BEANS IN HIGH VELOCITY ROASTING GASES AT 450* TO 575*F. FOR 1/2 TO 15 MINUTES WHICH EFFECT FLUIDIZATION OF THE BEANS TOGETHER WITH FURTHER HYDROLYSIS AND CONTROLLED HEATING AND DRYING OF THE SAME, SUCH FLUIDIZED ROASTING COMPLETING THE ROASTING PROCESS BY FULLY DEVELOPING THE CHARACTERISTIC FLAVOR AND AROMA PROFILE DEVELOPED DURING THE PREHEATING (AS DETERMINED BOTH BY GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY AND ORGANOLEPTICALLY). FOLLOWING THE DESCRIBED PREHEATING AND ROASTING, THE ROASTED BEANS CAN BE (4) CONTINUOUSLY AND PROGRESSIVELY COOLED IN HIGH VELOCITY COOLING GASES WHICH EFFECT FLUIDIZATION OF THE ROASTED BEANS.
