Title: Innovations of Randy Grilley
Introduction
Randy Grilley is an accomplished inventor based in Pierce, Colorado. He has made significant contributions to the field of plasma technology, holding a total of 5 patents. His work focuses on systems and methods for generating and utilizing plasma in various applications.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is the "Projected Plasma Source." This invention describes systems, methods, and apparatuses for generating an ionizing electromagnetic field via a remote plasma source. The field controllably extends through a field projection portion where it attenuates, to a plasma processing portion where it remains strong enough to sustain a plasma. This plasma operates at low voltage and RF energy, making it suitable for semiconductor and thin film processing operations, including chamber cleaning, etching, and deposition.
Another notable patent is the "Electrostatic Remote Plasma Source System and Method." This disclosure outlines systems, methods, and apparatus for capacitively coupling energy into a plasma to ignite and sustain it within a remote plasma source. The power is provided by a first electrode that is at least partially surrounded by a second electrode, which can be grounded or floating. First and second dielectric components are arranged to separate one or both electrodes from the plasma, thereby DC isolating the plasma from the electrodes.
