Holder for a substrate cassette and device provided with such a holder
InactiveUS7070178B2Easy and economical to manufactureEasy to manufactureSemiconductor/solid-state device manufacturingPositioning apparatusMechanical engineeringSemiconductor
A holder is disclosed for a cassette for substrates. The holder includes a base plate on which a guide member provided with at least two guides is secured. The cassette is to be positioned between the guides, which enable the cassette to be aligned with respect to the base plate, and the side of which facing the base plate tapers inwards and downwards. The application of such a holder in an apparatus for manufacturing semiconductor devices is still hampered as a result of incorrectly positioning the holder in the apparatus. This can lead to damage to the substrates and a lower yield of the manufacturing process. The side of the guide member tapers inwards and upwards. By virtue of this structure, the cassette can be positioned more accurately and reproducibly into the holder. In this way, damage to substrates is avoided and the yield is high. The guide member may be mirror symmetrical and can include two separate guide members, which are mirror symmetrical as well. As a result, the holder can be mounted, adjusted and manufactured in a simple and inexpensive manner.

Electrically reconfigurable optical devices
InactiveUS6903872B2Improve performanceEasy and economical to manufactureDiffraction gratingsElectricityVoltage
The invention refers to electrically reconfigurable optical devices based on the use of a layer of dielectric and transparent viscoelastic material (G) opposing at least a first electrode structure (ES1). According to the invention the arrangement of the individual electrode zones in the first electrode structure (ES1) in order to deform the viscoelastic layer (G) complies with one of the following alternatives. According to the first alternative, the electrode zones of the first electrode structure (ES1) are grouped into groups composed of two or more adjacent electrode zones and within each of said groups individual electrode zones are supplied each with a substantially different voltage. According to the second alternative, the electrode zones of the first electrode structure (ES1) are substantially annular, elliptical, rectangular or polygonal closed-loop electrodes. The invention allows, for example, for creating electrically reconfigurable blazed gratings (30) or Fresnel zone lenses (40).

The invention refers to electrically controlled optical switching devices which are based on the use of a layer of dielectric and transparent viscoelastic material (G) located between transparent first (ES1) and transparent second (ES2) electrode structures. According to the invention, the first (ES1) and second (ES2) electrode structures are arranged in a manner that the thickness of the layer of the viscoelastic material (G) can be electrically altered maintaining the thickness of said layer substantially equal. This makes it possible to realize a generic, electrically controlled variable thickness plate (30). The generic variable thickness plate (30) can be further used to create optical switching devices based on a Fabry Perot Interferometer or a Mach-Zehnder Interferometer.

InactiveUS20060265979A1BurdeningIncreased energy costShow cabinetsRailway roofsThermal insulationLow emissivity
The energy-free refrigeration door of the present application provides a way to control condensation when the door of a refrigeration unit is opened by providing thermal insulation to the door with glass panels which have a low emissivity coating. The door includes a door frame housing and an insulating glass unit comprising inner, middle and outer sheets of glass. A first sealant assembly disposed around the periphery of the inner and middle sheets of glass forms a first chamber between the inner and middle sheets of glass. A second sealant assembly disposed around the periphery of the middle and outer sheets of glass forms a second chamber between the middle and outer sheets of glass. A gas, such as krypton, air, or argon is held in the first and second chambers. The outer sheet of glass and inner sheet of glass each have an unexposed surface that faces the middle sheet of glass. A low emissivity coating is disposed on the unexposed surfaces of the inner and outer sheets of glass so that the glass door as a whole avoids formation of condensation on the outer surface of the outer sheet of the glass door, without the application of electricity to heat the door, while also providing the desired evaporation rate of condensation from the inner side of the inner sheet of the glass door. An anti-fog or anti-frost coating is included on a surface of one of the sheets of glass.
