`
`
`
`Mozgrin Teaches a “Feed Gas”
`Independent Claims 1, 21, 34, and 40
`
`• Patent Owner argues that “feed gas” requires continuous flow of gas:
`
`• Board previously rejected such a narrow reading of “feed gas”:

`
`
`
`Mozgrin Teaches a “Feed Gas”
`Independent Claims 1, 21, 34, and 40
`
`• One skilled in the art would have understood Mozgrin to teach
`providing a constant flow of gas
`
`Q. Just point me to where in the Mozgrin reference he’s talking about
`using a constant flow of gas.
`
`A. … I think he teaches it because … he’s applying these pulses over
`many periods. He’s getting these very high deposition rates. And
`you know, just the body of the work suggests to me that this is a
`constant flow of gas going on. He mentions about the pressure.
`So … in order for the pressure to stay constant, you’d have to
`keep applying this flow of gas and pumping it out.

`
`
`
`Mozgrin Teaches a “Feed Gas”
`Independent Claims 1, 21, 34, and 40
`
`• Patent Owner refers to Mozgrin’s Thesis (Ex. 1015), which
`explicitly details use of a “needle valve,” as allegedly
`teaching a static gas
`
`Patent Owner Response at pp. 39 and 56, IPR2014-00580
`
`• Needle valves provide a continuous flow of gas
`
`Ehrenberg, p. 81, IPR2014-580, Ex. 1026
`
`20
`
`
`
`Controlling the Flow of a Feed Gas was Well-Known
`
`Q. Controlling the flow of a feed gas to a magnetron chamber
`was well known before the alleged ’773 invention; correct?
`
`A. Yes.
`
`* * * *
`
`Q. Using a flow controller --?
`
`A. Yeah.
`
`-- to supply a continuous feed gas to a magnetron
`Q.
`chamber was known before the alleged ’773 invention;
`right?
`
`A. Yes.

`
`
`
`Mozgrin Teaches “Proximate”
`Independent Claims 1 and 34
`
`Q. Mozgrin does not teach how far the cathode is separated
`from the anode in the planar magnetron structure, correct?
`
`A. It does not, in a text, call out in similar fashion a
`numeric value. It has illustration in Figure 1(a) that
`shows the gap to be less than the diameter by a
`significant degree which comports with a worker of
`skill’s understanding of generally how these devices
`would be built. But, as I said, does not call out
`numerically, again.

`
`Issues Raised by Patent Owner Related to
`Independent Claims
`
`• Whether Mozgrin teaches a “feed gas” (claims 1, 21, 34 and 40)
`
`• Whether Mozgrin teaches “a feed gas proximate to the anode
`and the cathode assembly” (claims 1 and 34)
`
`• Whether Mozgrin or Fortov individually teach “an amplitude and
`a rise time of the voltage pulse being chosen to increase a density
`of ions in the strongly ionized plasma enough to generate sufficient
`thermal energy in the sputtering target to cause a sputtering yield to
`be non-linearly related to a temperature of the sputtering target” or
`corresponding limitations in the other independent claims (claims
`1, 21, 34, and 40)
`
`26
`
`
`
`“amplitude and a rise time… to be non-linearly related
`to a temperature of sputtering target” Well Known
`Independent Claims 1, 21, 34, and 40
`
`• Mozgrin teaches applying a voltage pulse having an amplitude
`and rise time to generate a strongly-ionized plasma
`
`Q. And Mozgrin delivers a voltage pulse
`to that weakly-ionized plasma; correct?
`
`A. Yes. … It has an amplitude … Has a
`rise time. …
`
`Q. And looking at Mozgrin, it would be a
`rapid increase form the weakly-ionized
`plasma; right?
`
`A. Yes.
`
`Q. Now, this voltage pulse in Mozgrin will
`cause a rapid increase in the density of
`the weakly-ionized plasma; correct?
`
`Q. So this is a strongly-ionized plasma
`generated in the sputtering regime of
`Mozgrin; correct?
`
`A.
`
`It says that the plasma density grows.
`…

`Independent Claims 1, 21, 34, and 40
`
`• Copper targets described in both Mozgrin and Fortov would
`behave according to the non-linear relationship with temperature
`of the sputtering target
`
`Q. Now, Fortov describes using a copper
`target; right?
`
`A. Yes.
`
`Q. Mozgrin describes using a copper
`target; right?
`
`A. Yes.
`
`Q. So for copper target, being described
`here, we can expect the nonlinear
`relationship to begin somewhere
`around .7 TM, the melting point of
`copper?
`
`A. Yeah.

`
`• Dr. Hartsough admitted that one skilled in the art would have
`been motivated to increase sputtering yield in a sputtering
`application
`
`Q. So a person of ordinary skill would have been
`motivated to increase the sputtering yield in a
`sputtering application; correct?
`
`A. Yes.

`
`Mozgrin and Fortov: Both Teach Sputtering
`Independent Claims 1, 21, 34, and 40
`
`• Patent Owner argues Mozgrin has no sputtering in “region 3” so
`one skilled in the art would not have combined with Fortov
`
`• Mozgrin does teach sputtering in regime 2
`
`Q. So this is a strongly-ionized
`plasma generated in the
`sputtering regime of
`Mozgrin; correct?
`
`A. It’s in the regime 2, where –
`where sputtering occurs.

`Mozgrin and Lantsman:
`Person of Ordinary Skill Would Be Able to Combine
`Lantsman’s Gas Flow Controller with Mozgrin
`
`Q. So it’s not your position that a person of ordinary skill would not be
`able to combine a constant DC supply with a pulsed DC supply; right?
`
`A. . . . It wouldn’t be – it – it wouldn’t be beyond the skill of a
`person of – of ordinary skill in the art.

`
`
`Issues Raised by Patent Owner Related to
`Dependent Claims
`
`• Issues already addressed by independent claims equally
`applicable to the following dependent claims
`
`‒ Whether one skilled in the art would have combined Mozgrin with
`Lantsman because Mozgrin does not teach a “feed gas”
`(claims 3, 4, 24, 25, 28, and 35)
`
`‒ Whether one skilled in the art would have combined Kudryavtsev because
`in Mozgrin, “sputtering does not occur in region 3” (claim 23)
`
`33
`
`
`
`Additional Issues Raised by Patent Owner Related to
`Dependent Claims
`
`• Additional issues related to following dependent claims
`
`‒ Whether Mozgrin Thesis is prior art (claim 2)
`
`‒ Whether Kawamata does not substantially increase the average
`temperature of the sputtering target (claims 5 and 36)
`
`‒ Whether Mozgrin teaches a single power supply (claim 18)
`
`‒ Whether Mozgrin’s annular plasma discharge is uniform (claim 13)
`
`‒ Whether claim 10 requires a third electrode
`
`‒ Whether “evaporation” is taught by the prior art (claim 29)
`
`‒ Whether Mozgrin teaches “increase an ionization rate” and whether
`Mozgrin teaches choosing experimental variables for a particular
`intended purpose (claims 11 and 14)
`
`34
`
`
`
`Mozgrin Thesis is Prior Art
`Dependent Claim 2
`
`US Patent 6,896,773, Ex. 1001
`
`Ex. 1014
`
`35
`
`
`
`Kawamata Teaches Holding the Temperature of the
`Target Substantially Constant
`Dependent Claims 5 and 36
`
`• Patent Owner’s own expert agrees Kawamata teaches using cooling water to
`maintain the temperature of the sputtering target
`
`• “Cooling water (8) for holding the temperature of the magnetron cathode (5)
`constant flows against a lower face of the magnetron cathode (5)”
`Kawamata at Abstract, Ex. 1009
`
`• “The MgF2 granules 3 were heated by the plasma with their temperature
`maintained by a balance between plasma heating and cooling by cooling water 8
`flowing on the lower face of the magnetron cathode 5 and thus sputtered.”
`Kawamata at 7:36-40, Ex. 1009
`
`Q.
`
`[Kawamata] says, “cooling water aid for holding the temperature of the magnetron
`cathode constant.”
`
`A. Okay.
`
`Q. So we can agree that Kawamata maintains the cathode temperature constant; right?
`
`A.
`
`It – it says, for holding constant. Okay.

`
`
`Mozgrin Teaches a Single Power Supply
`Dependent Claim 18
`
`Mozgrin, p. 401 and Fig. 2, IPR2014-580, Ex. 1002
`
`Q. And the way that Mozgrin chose to deliver the energy is through one
`interconnected circuit where you couldn’t simply remove the high-
`voltage supply unit and have it operate the same; right?
`
`A. Yes.

`
`
`
`Mozgrin’s Plasma Discharge is Uniform Adjacent to the Cathode
`Dependent Claim 13
`
`Q. Yeah, it talks about applying
`a magnetic field to more
`uniformly distribute the plasma,
`but so does Mozgrin; right?
`
`A.
`
`It talks about the – in figures,
`you know, 7A, B, C, it talks
`about how – and D – how the
`magnetic field is affected by
`the circulating currents to –
`to spread more uniformly.
`
`Q. And those same effects would
`occur in Mozgrin; correct?
`
`A. They would tend to occur.

`
`
`
`Claim 10 Does Not Require a Third Electrode
`
`• Zond argues “the ionization source [that generates a weakly-
`ionized plasma]” requires a component other than the cathode
`assembly or the anode recited in claim 1
`
`• ’773 teaches embodiment where the ionization source can be
`either the anode, cathode assembly or a third electrode

`
`Mozgrin and Fortov Teach Evaporation of the Target Surface
`Dependent Claim 29
`
`Fortov, p. 16 of 23, IPR2014-580, Ex. 1004
`
`A. Well, I mean, one of skill in the art who had these references in front of him
`would have said, look … Mozgrin is trying to do higher sputter yield with this
`technique. Fortov has a recipe for getting to a certain temperature, increase
`sputtering yield. I’m pretty sure that I can modify these powers and rise times
`to get to this temperature. Let me put these together and make it happen.

`
`
`
`Mozgrin Chose Experimental Variables to Increase
`Ionization Rate
`Dependent Claims 11 and 14
`
`• Patent Owner’s expert admits high plasma density indicates an increased
`ionization rate
`
`• Mozgrin teaches choosing experimental conditions that lead to increased
`plasma density
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`. . . When the voltage -- when the increased
`voltage is applied to the weakly-ionized
`plasma, if you have a quick increase in the
`plasma density, does that indicate a quick
`increase in the rate of ionization?
`
`It indicates an increase -- an -- it indicates a
`different rate of ionization between the two
`states. So increase -- increase from the rate of
`ionization in the low-density state, the rate
`would increase.

`
`Mozgrin Discloses Controlling Voltage
`
`Q. And the controlled variable in Morzgrin’s control system would be
`voltage because that’s what he’s applying; right?
`
`A. It - - it’s a little difficult to determine what he means - - what - -
`when - - how a controlled variable would be, but it could be.
