    Abstract: An oblong diaphragm valve has curved surfaces carved into faces of a body and a plate. The curved surfaces have an oblong shape and define an oval or egg-shaped valve chamber when the body and the plate are joined and secured to each other, with a diaphragm sandwiched there-between. An inlet and an outlet are defined in the curved surface of the body at opposite ends defined by a length of the valve chamber. A flow passage is defined in the curved surface of the plate and has an opening centrally located relative to the valve chamber for actuation of the diaphragm to close or open the oblong diaphragm valve with minimal or no stress, ensuring durability and longevity of the oblong diaphragm valve with increased precision, while reducing fluid waste and pressure spikes in pumping operations.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the systems and methods disclosed herein utilize a brushless DC motor (BLDCM) to drive a single-stage or a multi-stage pump in a pumping system for real time, smooth motion, and extremely precise and repeatable position control over fluid movements and dispense amounts, useful in semiconductor manufacturing. The BLDCM may employ a position sensor for real time position feedback to a processor executing a custom field-oriented control scheme. Embodiments of the invention can reduce heat generation without undesirably compromising the precise position control of the dispense pump by increasing and decreasing, via a custom control scheme, the operating frequency of the BLDCM according to the criticality of the underlying function(s). The control scheme can run the BLDCM at very low speeds while maintaining a constant velocity, which enables the pumping system to operate in a wide range of speeds with minimal variation, substantially increasing dispense performance and operation capabilities.

    Abstract: A fluid valve incorporates a plunger with a fluid channel. The plunger is connected to a boss coupled to a diaphragm, this boss also includes a fluid channel and the plunger and boss fluid channels are in fluid communication. The boss fluid channel opens to the backside of the diaphragm in the valve cavity and permits substantially complete pressurization or evacuation of the volume behind the diaphragm in the valve. The substantially complete pressurization of the volume behind the diaphragm enables full closure of the diaphragm and improves contact of the diaphragm with the valve seat thereby improving performance of the valve.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a system, method and computer program product for reducing the hold-up volume of a pump. More particularly, embodiments of the invention can determine, prior to dispensing a fluid, a position for a diaphragm in a chamber to reduce a hold-up volume at a dispense pump and/or a feed pump. This variable home position of the diaphragm can be determined based on a set of factors affecting a dispense operation. Example factors may include a dispense volume and an error volume. The home position for the diaphragm can be selected such that the volume of the chamber at the dispense pump and/or feed pump contains sufficient fluid to perform the various steps of a dispense cycle while minimizing the hold-up volume. Additionally, the home position of the diaphragm can be selected to optimize the effective range of positive displacement.
