An apparatus for depositing a coating on a part comprises: a chamber; a source of the coating material, positioned to communicate the coating material to the part in the chamber; a plurality of thermal hoods; and means for moving a hood of the plurality of thermal hoods from an operative position and replacing the hood with another hood of the plurality of hoods.

A method performed by a film deposition apparatus including a process chamber and a rotary table that is disposed in the process chamber and includes a substrate-mounting surface on which a substrate is placeable. The method includes a first cleaning process of supplying a cleaning gas from above the substrate-mounting surface of the rotary table while rotating the rotary table in a first cleaning position, and a second cleaning process of supplying the cleaning gas from above the substrate-mounting surface of the rotary table while rotating the rotary table in a second cleaning position that is lower than the first cleaning position.

The present disclosure provides a loading apparatus and a physical vapor deposition (PVD) apparatus. The loading apparatus includes a pedestal configured to support a workpiece; and a first support member placed on the pedestal and configured to push up a cover ring when the pedestal is at an operation position to prevent an overlapping portion of a cover ring and the workpiece from contacting each other. In the loading apparatus and the PVD apparatus, the first support member supports the cover ring, such that the cover ring does not contact the workpiece, thereby reducing stress forces on the workpiece by external components.

An installation, a carrier, and a method for coating eyeglass lenses are proposed, wherein a carrier with eyeglass lenses held in a rotatable manner is conveyed in succession in different coating devices or coating lines, in order to coat in an alternating manner opposite sides of the eyeglass lenses and/or to apply different coatings. In particular, the carriers with the eyeglass lenses are conveyed from a coating device or coating line by means of an evacuated transfer chamber to another coating device or coating line.

A carrier, an apparatus for manufacturing a display apparatus and including the carrier, and a method of manufacturing a display apparatus are provided. The carrier includes a body portion; an electro permanent magnetic chuck arranged on a boundary portion of the body portion and configured to selectively fix a mask assembly; and a substrate fixing unit arranged in the body portion to selectively fix a display substrate.

A system for measuring a temperature of a rotating workpiece comprises a deposition chamber, a crucible within the deposition chamber, an energy source, a drive system, a temperature sensor, first and second sensor wires, a dynamic electrical connection, and a control system. The crucible is configured to hold a deposition feedstock material. The energy source is configured to evaporate the deposition feedstock material. The drive system is configured to rotate the workpiece such that the evaporated deposition feedstock material can impinge the rotating workpiece. The temperature sensor is configured to sense the temperature of the rotating workpiece. The first and second sensor wires are electrically connected to the temperature sensor. The dynamic electrical connection is configured to electrically communicate the signal indicative of the sensed temperature from the rotatable workpiece holder to the stationary portion. The control system is configured to measure the temperature of the workpiece during rotation.

A stage device includes a stage configured to hold a target substrate in a vacuum chamber, a cold heat transfer body fixedly disposed below a bottom surface of the stage with a gap between the stage and the cold heat transfer body and cooled to an extremely low temperature by a chiller disposed below the cold heat transfer body, and cooling fluid supplied to the gap to transfer cold heat of the cold heat transfer body to the stage. The stage device further includes a stage support configured to rotatably support the stage and formed in a cylindrical shape to surround an upper part of the cold heat transfer body wherein the stage support has a vacuum insulation structure, and a rotation part configured to support the stage support and rotated by a driving mechanism while being sealed with magnetic fluid.
