Abstract:
A high purity fluid control valve includes a moveable control plate having a flow-through passage to enhance fluid sweep of the internal valve volume. The valve is of jet and seat type using nested orifice ridges to achieve high conductance with small actuator movement. The flow-through control plate is especially useful in fast acting proportional control applications such as gas delivery in semiconductor manufacturing.

Claim (Index 15):
The valve assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the at least one pair of adjacent orifice ridge segments includes four adjacent orifice ridge segments that are substantially circular in shape, the four adjacent orifice ridge segments including a largest orifice ridge segment, a first smaller orifice ridge segment surrounded by the largest orifice ridge segment, a second smaller orifice ridge segment surrounded by the first smaller orifice ridge segment, and a smallest orifice ridge segment surrounded by the second smaller orifice ridge segment, the four adjacent orifice ridge segments defining an outer valve chamber portion disposed outside the four adjacent orifice ridge segments, an inner valve chamber portion disposed inside the four adjacent orifice ridge segments, a first intermediate valve chamber portion disposed between the largest orifice ridge segment and the first smaller orifice ridge segment, a second intermediate valve chamber portion disposed between the first smaller orifice ridge segment and the second smaller orifice ridge segment, and a third intermediate valve chamber portion disposed between the second smaller orifice ridge segment and the smallest orifice ridge segment.
