Automatic grinding apparatus to control uniform specimen thicknesses

Patent Bryner, J S

This invention is directed to a new and improved grinding apparatus comprisng: (1) a movable grinding surface; (2) a specimen holder; (3) a dislacing means for moving the holder and/or grinding surface toward one another; and (4) at least three means for limiting displacement of the holder to the grinding surface.
Apparatus and method for controlling plating uniformity

Patent Hachman Jr., John T.; Kelly, James J.; West, Alan C.

The use of an insulating shield for improving the current distribution in an electrochemical plating bath is disclosed. Numerical analysis is used to evaluate the influence of shield shape and position on plating uniformity. Simulation results are compared to experimental data for nickel deposition from a nickel--sulfamate bath. The shield is shown to improve the average current density at a plating surface.

Automatic control of oscillatory penetration apparatus

Patent Lucon, Peter A

A system and method for controlling an oscillatory penetration apparatus. An embodiment is a system and method for controlling a sonic drill having a displacement and an operating range and operating at a phase difference, said sonic drill comprising a push-pull piston and eccentrics, said method comprising: operating the push-pull piston at an initial push-pull force while the eccentrics are operated at a plurality of different operating frequencies within the operating range of the sonic drill and measuring the displacement at each operating frequency; determining an efficient operating frequency for the material being drilled and operating the eccentrics at saidmore » « less

Method and system for producing sputtered thin films with sub-angstrom thickness uniformity or custom thickness gradients

Patent Folta, James A [2262 Hampton Rd., Livermore, CA 94550]; Montcalm, Claude [14 Jami St., Livermore, CA 94550]; Walton, Christopher [2927 Lorina St., #2, Berkeley, CA 94705-1852]

A method and system for producing a thin film with highly uniform (or highly accurate custom graded) thickness on a flat or graded substrate (such as concave or convex optics), by sweeping the substrate across a vapor deposition source with controlled (and generally, time-varying) velocity. In preferred embodiments, the method includes the steps of measuring the source flux distribution (using a test piece that is held stationary while exposed to the source), calculating a set of predicted film thickness profiles, each film thickness profile assuming the measured flux distribution and a different one of a set of sweep velocity modulationmore » « less
