20100122654 | THERMALLY CONTROLLED FLUIDIC SELF-ASSEMBLY - Methods and apparatuses are provided for assembling a structure on a support having a pattern of binding sites. In accordance with the method, a first fluid is provided on the surface of the support with the first fluid being of a type that that increases viscosity when cooled, the first fluid having first micro-components suspended therein each adapted to engage the binding sites. First fluid proximate to selected binding sites is cooled to increase the viscosity of the responsive fluid proximate to the selected binding sites so that the first micro-components suspended in the first fluid are inhibited from engaging the selected binding sites. | 05-20-2010 |
20100192844 | Apparatus and method for treating substrate - An apparatus and method for treating a substrate are provided. The apparatus includes a load port, an index module, a first buffer module, a coating/developing module, a second buffer module, a pre/post-exposure treatment module, and an interface module, which are sequentially arranged in a direction. The coating/developing module includes a coating module and a developing module, which are arranged in different layers. The pre/post-exposure treatment module includes a pre-treatment module and a post-treatment module, which are disposed at different layers. The pre-treatment module coats a protective layer on the wafer before an exposure process. The post-treatment module performs a wafer cleaning process and a post-exposure bake process after the exposure process. A robot for transferring the wafer is disposed in each of the pre-treatment and post-treatment modules. | 08-05-2010 |
20100206222 | Mask adhesion unit and deposition apparatus using the same - A mask adhesion unit for a deposition apparatus includes a magnetic assembly, a cap plate spaced apart from the magnetic assembly, and a magnetic control unit between edges of the magnetic assembly, and the cap plate. A deposition apparatus using the same is capable of adhering a substrate and a mask assembly together using the mask adhesion unit to improve deposition precision, while preventing deformation of a slit of the mask assembly. | 08-19-2010 |
20100326351 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR HEATING SUBSTRATE AND COATING AND DEVELOPING SYSTEM - A substrate heating apparatus includes a top plate arranged above a hot plate so that a vertical space is formed between the hot plate and the top plate. The top plate has an evacuated internal chamber serving as a vacuum insulating layer that suppresses heat transfer from a first surface of the top plate facing the hot plate to a second surface of the top plate opposite to the first surface. When heating the substrate, a gas flow flowing through the space between the hot plate and the top plate is generated. | 12-30-2010 |
20110094440 | APPARATUSES USEFUL IN PRINTING, FIXING DEVICES AND METHODS OF PREHEATING SUBSTRATES IN APPARATUSES USEFUL IN PRINTING - Apparatuses useful in printing, fixing devices and methods of preheating substrates in apparatuses useful in printing are provided. An exemplary embodiment of the apparatuses useful in printing includes a first member including a first surface; a second member including a second surface forming a nip with the first surface; a substrate cooler disposed downstream from the nip to receive a first substrate exiting the nip, the substrate cooler removing heat from the first substrate by conduction; a substrate pre-heater disposed upstream from the nip; and a first heat transfer system for transferring heat from the substrate cooler to the substrate pre-heater. The substrate pre-heater applies the heat to conductively pre-heat a second substrate before the second substrate enters the nip. | 04-28-2011 |
