Protective Layer For Quartz Crucibles Used For Silicon Crystallization

View page
US Patent:
6479108, Nov 12, 2002
Filed:
Aug 31, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/944790
Inventors:
Alleppey V. Hariharan - Nashua NH
Mohan Chandra - Merrimack NH
Michael Costantini - Hudson NH
Yuepeng Wan - Nashua NH
Assignee:
G.T. Equipment Technologies, Inc. - Nashua NH
International Classification:
C23C 410
US Classification:
427453, 427446
Abstract:
A thermodynamically stable, protective coating layer is applied by thermal spray technique to the inner and outer surfaces of a quartz crucible used for mono or polycrystalline silicon crystallization processing, inhibiting fusion between the silicon melt and the vitreous silica of the crucible, contamination of the silicon melt by contaminants released from the crucible by devitrification, and any chemical reaction occurring between the crucible and any supporting graphite structure. A powdered form of a suitable protective coating material compatible with high temperature plasma spray techniques, such as magnesium zirconate, barium zirconate, or stabilized zirconium oxide, is fed into a high temperature and high speed plasma jet directed at the crucible. The powder particles are softened or melted in the jet and deposited on the surfaces of the quartz crucible, and allowed to cool and harden into a protective coating.

Keith Matthei - Nashua NH
Alleppey V. Hariharan - Nashua NH
Assignee:
G.T. Equipment Technologies, Inc - Nashua NH
International Classification:
B05D 302
US Classification:
427133, 427226, 427236, 427387, 4273936, 4273977, 427427, 106 3822, 10628711, 10628713
Abstract:
A method for preparing a release coating and applying it to crucibles used to contain molten material while it solidifies, by mixing a release coating power with a dry organic binder into a powder and binder dry mixture, mixing a defoamer with a liquid into a liquid and defoamer mixture, mixing the dry mixture with the liquid and defoamer mixture into a wet release coating, sieving to remove lumps and particles, checking the viscosity, wet-spraying onto a crucible, evaporating the liquid from the wet release coating so as to leave a dry release coating on the crucible, and separating the binder from the dry release coating by thermal decomposition.

International Classification:
B23P 1900
B23P 2100
H01P 1100
H01L 3118
US Classification:
136244, 136256, 136293, 438 80, 438 64, 438 66, 438 98, 29729, 29730, 29711, 29714, 29564, 295641, 295642, 1983461
Abstract:
A machine for the automated assembly of wafers such as solar cells into strings, comprising a control system, a cell loader with wafer inspection station, a cell tab loader, a string assembly station, and a platen with adjacent pairs of individual cell, opposing edge grippers having multiple sets of vertically operable pincer action fingers for holding cells in string alignment during soldering. The string assembly station has a cooperating cell support and tab tail support mechanism providing for a tab tail hand off from one to the other with a platen indexing movements of cell pitch distance. The platen moves from the string assembly station through a soldering station consisting of a preheat, soldering, and cooling zones spaced a cell pitch distance apart. A string unloader moves completed strings through a string inspection station placing strings in a good or bad string holding area.

Dielectric Barrier Discharge Process For Depositing Silicon Nitride Film On Substrates

View page
US Patent:
20030104141, Jun 5, 2003
Filed:
Aug 27, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/229309
Inventors:
Carmela Amato-Wierda - Durham NH, US
Mohan Chandra - Merrimack NH, US
Keith Matthei - Hollis NH, US
Alleppey Hariharan - Nashua NH, US
International Classification:
C23C016/00
B05D005/12
US Classification:
427/580000, 118/72300E, 118/718000, 427/058000
Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present invention is a method of coating at least one wafer with silicon nitride. The first step in the method is assembling at least one electrode set, wherein each electrode set includes at least one dielectric barrier between a top electrode and a bottom electrode. The second step is flowing at least one purge gas and at least one reactant at least partially between the electrodes, of at least one electrode set, substantially at atmospheric pressure. The next step in the inventive method is placing a wafer between the electrodes of at least one electrode set, wherein the wafer is substantially encompassed by the flowing gas. The last step in this embodiment of the inventive method is supplying AC power to at least one electrode set thereby causing a dielectric barrier discharge.
