International Classification:

B65D 1/40
B65D 83/00
B65D 35/28
B67D 7/78

US Classification:

222 1, 220 6211, 222 95, 222105, 2224647

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to a blow-molded, rigid collapsible liner that can be suitable particularly for smaller storage and dispensing systems. The rigid collapsible liner may be a stand-alone liner, e.g., used without an outer container, and may be dispensed from a fixed pressure dispensing can. Folds in the rigid collapsible liner may be substantially eliminated, thereby substantially reducing or eliminating the problems associated with pinholes, weld tears, and overflow. The present disclosure also relates to flexible gusseted or non-gusseted liners, which is scalable in size and may be used for storage of up to 200 L or more. The flexible gusseted liner may be foldable, such that the liner can be introduced into a dispensing can. The liner can be made of thicker materials, substantially reducing or eliminating the problems associated pinholes, and may include more robust welds, substantially reducing or eliminating the problems associated weld tears.

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to a blow-molded, rigid collapsible liner that can be suitable particularly for smaller storage and dispensing systems. The rigid collapsible liner may be a stand-alone liner, e.g., used without an outer container, and may be dispensed from a fixed pressure dispensing can. Folds in the rigid collapsible liner may be substantially eliminated, thereby substantially reducing or eliminating the problems associated with pinholes, weld tears, and overflow. The present disclosure also relates to systems and liners, including the liners just mentioned, that may be used as alternatives to, or replacements for, simple rigid-wall containers, such as those made of glass. Such advantageous systems and liners may replace simple rigid-wall containers in a system for delivering a high purity material to a semiconductor process substantially without modification to an end user's existing pump dispense or pressure dispense systems.

Assignee:

POLAR SEMICONDUCTOR, INC. - Bloomington MN

International Classification:

H01L 23/58
H01L 21/283

US Classification:

257659, 438669, 257E23002, 257E21159

Abstract:

A metal shield structure is provided for an integrated circuit (IC) having at least a first metal contact coupled to a fixed potential and a second metal contact. A first passivation layer is located between the first and second metal contacts and on a first portion of the first metal contact and a first portion of the second metal contact, leaving a second portion of the first metal contact and a second portion of the second metal contact uncovered by the first passivation layer. A metal shield layer is provided on the second portion of the first metal contact and on the first passivation layer, and a second passivation layer is formed on the metal shield layer.

B65D 53/02
B65D 1/02
B65D 41/32

Abstract:

A breakseal providing desired compliance characteristics for a reliable seal between the fitment of a liquid dispenser and the breakseal. A compliant material is provided on the non-wetted face of the breakseal, enabling compliance of the breakseal on a wetted face for sealing between the breakseal and the mating component. The breakseal may also include raised features on segments that are separated after rupturing that prevent or mitigate scoring of O-ring seals upon probe insertion. A wiping feature that provides redundant sealing between the breakseal and a mating cap or other mating connection may also be incorporated into the breakseal. The breakseal can also include a flat on an outer perimeter that may serve as a gate for injection molding, so that any gate vestige from the molding process will not protrude beyond the outer diameter of the breakseal to cause unwanted interference between the breakseal and the mating connection.

International Classification:

B65D 1/02
B65D 53/02

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to an integrated liner-based system having an overpack and a liner provided within the overpack, the liner comprising a mouth and a liner wall forming an interior cavity of the liner and having a thickness such that the liner is substantially self-supporting in an expanded state, but is collapsible at a pressure of less than about 20 psi. The liner and overpack may be made by blow molding the liner and the overpack at the same time using nested preforms.

International Classification:

B29C 49/20

Abstract:

The present disclosure, in one embodiment, relates to a liner-based assembly having an overpack and a liner disposed within the overpack. The liner may be formed by blow molding a liner preform within the overpack to form a blow molded liner substantially conforming to the interior of the overpack and generally forming an interface with an interior of the overpack. The present disclosure, in another embodiment, relates to a liner-based assembly including a blow-molded overpack comprised of polyethylene terephthalate, a blow-molded liner disposed within the overpack, the liner comprised of a polymer material, wherein the overpack and liner have a combined wall thickness of about 0.3 mm or less, and a base cup configured to at least partially surround an exterior of the overpack. In some embodiments, the liner has a volume of up to about 4.7 liters and an empty weight of between about 260-265 grams.
