Preferably, thesubstrate support comprises a vacuum chuck and the ?uiddelivery assembly comprises one or more noZZles.
Theinvention also provide a method for etching a substrate,comprising: rotating a substrate positioned on a rotatablesubstrate support; and delivering an etchant to a peripheralportion of the substrate. Preferably, the substrate is rotated atbetWeen about 100 rpm and about 1000 rpm, and the etchantis delivered in a direction that is substantially tangent to theperipheral portion of the substrate at an incident anglebetWeen about 0 degrees and about 45 degrees from asurface of substrate.HO1L/21/30650 Claims, 4 Drawing SheetsUS 6,516,815 B1Page 2U.S. PATENT DOCUMENTS3,990,462 A4,027,686 A4,092,176 A4,110,176 A4,113,492 A4,315,059 A4,326,940 A4,336,114 A4,376,685 A4,405,416 A4,429,983 A4,435,266 A4,439,243 A4,439,244 A4,489,740 A4,510,176 A4,518,678 A4,519,846 A4,633,804 A4,688,918 A4,693,805 A4,732,785 A4,788,994 A4,838,289 A5,039,381 A5,055,425 A5,092,975 A5,155,336 A5,162,260 A5,176,783 A5,222,310 A5,224,504 A5,230,743 AA5,252,807 A5,256,2745,259,407 A5,290,361 A5,316,974 A5,328,589 AA5,349,978 A5,351,3605,368,711 A5,377,708 A* 11/1976 El?mann 9t a1~6/1977 Shortcs er a15/1978K9191 9t a1~ ---- 134/1868/1978 CreutZ et a1.

Тип файла PDF
PDF-формат наиболее широко используется для просмотра любого типа файлов на любом устройстве. В него можно сохранить документ, таблицы, презентацию, текст, чертежи, вычисления, графики и всё остальное, что можно показать на экране любого устройства. Именно его лучше всего использовать для печати.
Например, если Вам нужно распечатать чертёж из автокада, Вы сохраните чертёж на флешку, но будет ли автокад в пункте печати? А если будет, то нужная версия с нужными библиотеками? Именно для этого и нужен формат PDF - в нём точно будет показано верно вне зависимости от того, в какой программе создали PDF-файл и есть ли нужная программа для его просмотра.
