Title: Controlling deposition and etching in a chamber with fine time control of parameters and gas flow
Inventor: MCNIE MARK EDWARD
IPC: B81C1/00
Filed: 2012-02-29
Abstract: Deposition of material onto and/or etching of material from a substrate 30 in a surface processing tool having a processing chamber 2 uses a defined set of process parameters that the one or more control devices are instructed to implement. The processing may include a plasma process and may include passivation and etching steps and may be a bosch-type process. The control method uses control steps each defining constant parameters of gasses in the chamber. Preferably, the duration that a control step is applied for is less than the corresponding gas residence time (Tgr) of the processing chamber for the step. The time duration of a control step may range from 0.05 to 1.0 seconds and the gas residency time may range from 0.1 to 5 seconds. The parameters that may be controlled on this time scale can include input gas flows, (6a,b) chamber pressure, exhaust rate, (8a,8) backside wafer pressure, plasma source frequency and/or power (9, 10, 11) and substrate bias power and/or frequency 14, 16, 12). Where two control steps define two sets of process parameters, the control system may produce one or many more intermediate control steps to gradually change between the two sets of parameters (figures 6 and 9 show such intermediate steps). Features may be etched with controlled side wall shapes as figures 4a-h, 8a-b show.

Title: Internal line-up clamps for welding pipes
Inventor: ATIN CESAR
IPC: B23K101/10
Filed: 2013-05-30
Abstract: An internal line-up clamp 10 for welding pipe lengths 12 end-to-end comprises a clamp ring 16 made up of a plurality of clamp ring elements 18A, 18B that are angularly distributed around the circumference of the clamp ring. The clamp ring elements 18A, 18B are divided into mutually opposed groups that are interdigitated such that the clamp ring elements alternate from one group to the other around the circumference of the clamp ring. A longitudinally-acting actuator system (22, figures 2 and 3) drives relative longitudinal movement of the groups of clamp ring elements 18A, 18B to effect clamping expansion of the clamp ring 16 by wedging interaction between the circumferentially-alternating clamp ring elements of the groups. By expanding the clamp ring 16 in alignment with a weld plane (14, figure 1) between the abutting ends, the same clamp ring may be used to align the pipe lengths and to back a weld between them. Preferably, the individual clamp ring elements 18A, 18B have a trapezoid shape, and are chamfered to taper inwardly and interconnected along their neighbouring edges 46. Also disclosed is an internal line-up clamp including a brake and a clamp support structure which supports a clamp system, the brake being pivotally mounted to the support structure, the pivot permitting limited angular movement between the brake and the support structure (figures 10 and 11).
