Application: System for a chemical and/or electrolytic surface treatment of a substrate (Patent ID: US20240141535A1)
The present invention by Lam Research Corp. is directed towards a system of at least two distribution body elements for the chemical and/or electric surface treatment of a substrate. Each distribution body element has a plate shape with jet openings for distributing a process fluid and drain openings for distributing the fluid and an electric current. These elements can be connected to form a modular distribution body, with various connection methods specified in the claims.
The claims further detail the configuration and manufacturing methods for these distribution body elements. The system allows for a high density of openings in the distribution body elements, with specific requirements outlined. The modular distribution body can be chemically bonded, welded, or mechanically connected, with specific dimensions specified for the overall length. The manufacturing method involves providing plate-shaped distribution body elements with the necessary openings and arranging connecting areas for assembly, with options for 3D printing, drilling, injection molding, and cutting. The method also includes mounting the connected modular distribution body into a frame with specific features like a flow rectification zone and fluid supply line.
