Latest Patents
Garrett holds a patent for an "Apparatus and method for controlling functions of automated gas cabinets." This invention provides means for adjustably setting and determining the time duration of flow of a purge gas through process gas supply conduits. These conduits supply process gases to semiconductor manufacturing operations. The features of this invention facilitate the changing of certain components of the system, such as a tank of toxic process gas or a filter. A plurality of gas storage and distribution cabinets can be controlled from a single remote personal computer, or each unit can be managed by its own control system. Setpoints defining time intervals and pressures can be selected and entered through a front panel or a remote terminal. The terminal also provides a print-out of the selected setpoints for improved record keeping of safety procedures. This invention increases the safety of operation of the gas distribution system and reduces the time and cost of component changing procedures.
