Title: Regeneration method for tantalum coil for sputtering and tantlum coil obtained by regeneration method
Inventor: TSUKAMOTO SHIRO
IPC: H01J37/34
Filed: 2012-09-14
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for recycling a tantalum coil for sputtering that is disposed between a substrate and a sputtering target. The method for recycling a tantalum coil for sputtering is characterized in that the whole or partial surface of a spent tantalum coil is subject to cutting (cutting is performed until a re-deposited film and knurling traces are eliminated) so as to eliminate the re-deposited film that was formed during sputtering, and knurling is newly performed to the cut portion. While sputtered grains are accumulated (re-deposited) on the surface of the tantalum coil disposed between the substrate and the sputtering target during sputtering, by eliminating the sputtered grains accumulated on the spent coil by way of cutting after the sputtering is complete, the tantalum coil can be efficiently recycled. Thus, provided is technology capable of lean manufacturing of new coils, improving productivity, and stably providing such coils.

Abstract: Technologies are presented for enabling a relatively low power, limited range communications system (or, alternatively, a terminal in a directional, point-to-point communications link), using native data communications services provided by an overlying wireless network, to automatically (or semi-automatically) negotiate with that network for use of specific portions of the frequency band or bands that are used in common by the low power device and the overlying network. Frequency management capabilities inherent to the wireless network may be utilized to automatically execute the resulting frequency use coordination. Through the coordination, the low power (or point-to-point) communications system may be protected from potentially excessive interference from the overlying network and/or user devices operating on that network (and vice-versa) while minimizing any impact on performance and capacity of the overlying network.
