Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a regeneration shield 22 for a vacuum system, typically used in the processing of integrated circuits. The regeneration shield protects fragile arrays 13, having a dislocatable material 16, such as charcoal, in a high vacuum pump 4 from volatile regeneration gases, which impinge the fragile material on the array and dislocate that material to cause pumping inefficiencies and scrap. The shield may be planar, concave, or convex and may have sides. The shield may also have inwardly and outwardly extending flanges.
