The invention includes a method of bonding a perfluoroelastomer material to first surface that includes: (a) contacting a first surface with a bonding agent comprising a curable perfluoropolymer and a curing agent; (b) curing the bonding agent to form a perfluoroelastomer material that is bonded to the first surface. In the practice of such method, the bonding agent may be a solution prepared by dissolving the curable perfluoroelastomer and the curing agent in a solvent. In an embodiment of the invention, the perfluoroelastomer material formed in step (b) is a coating layer or, alternatively, the first surface is a surface of a perfluoroelastomer member and the perfluoroelastomer material formed is a perfluoroelastomer weld.

Compositions including at least one curable fluoropolymer are disclosed which include at least one functional group for crosslinking the fluoropolymer, a curative capable of crosslinking the at least one fluoropolymer selected from the group consisting of functionalized biphenyl-based compounds, various monoamidine and monoamidoxime compounds as well as bisamidine compounds and combinations thereof; and at least one cure accelerator which may be an organic peroxide or an organic peroxide in combination with a colorant. Adhesive fluoroelastomeric compositions comprising colorants are also provided. The compositions described provide beneficial physical properties, increased plasma resistance, unique adhesive properties and/or reduced contamination associated with use of external adhesives. Methods for forming articles which incorporate fluoroelastomers bonded to metallic surfaces are also provided.

A self contained sensing apparatus includes a housing establishing an interior compartment, the housing having a maximum thickness which is less than the size of a gate opening of a semiconductor wafer processing chamber for inserting the housing into the semiconductor wafer processing chamber for sensing a parameter. The housing includes a window extending through a principal housing surface. A sensor is provided within the housing and generally aligned with the window for sensing at least one parameter. A transmitter is provided within the housing and coupled with the sensor for receiving signals representative of the sensed parameter and transmitting the signals out of the housing.

Self contained sensing apparatus and system

A self contained sensing apparatus includes a housing establishing an interior compartment, the housing having a maximum thickness which is less than the size of an access portal for inserting the housing into an area for sensing. The housing includes a window extending through a principal housing surface. A sensor is provided within the housing and generally aligned with the window for sensing at least one parameter. In a preferred embodiment, the sensor is an optical sensor for sensing images through the window. A transmitter is provided within the housing and coupled with the sensor for receiving signals representative of the sensed parameter and transmitting the signals out of the housing.
