`

`Disputes with Respect to Independent Claims
`
`• All independent claims:
`
`‒ Whether Wang discloses “without forming an arc.”
`
`‒ Whether Wang in combination with Kudryavtsev discloses a voltage pulse
`with an amplitude and a rise time to increase an excitation rate of ground
`state atoms.
`
`• Claims 20 and 40: choosing amplitude and rise time
`
`‒ Whether a person of ordinary skill would have combined Wang with the
`teachings of Kudryavtsev.
`
`12
`
`

`

`Claim Constructions
`
`• Claim terms construed by the Board:
`
`‒ “weakly-ionized plasma”
`
`‒ “strongly-ionized plasma”
`
`‒ “multi-step ionization process”
`
`‒ “means for ionizing a feed gas to generate a weakly-ionized plasma proximate
`to a sputtering target”
`
`‒ “means for generating a magnetic field proximate to the weakly ionized plasma the
`magnetic field substantially trapping electrons in the weakly-ionized plasma proximate
`to a sputtering target”
`
`‒ “means for applying a voltage pulse to the weakly-ionized plasma, an amplitude and
`rise time of the voltage pulse being chosen to increase an excitation rate of ground state
`atoms that are present in the weakly-ionized plasma to create a multi-step ionization
`process comprising exciting the ground state atoms to generate excited atoms, and then
`ionizing the excited atoms within the weakly-ionized plasma without forming an arc
`discharge, to ions that sputter target material from the sputtering target”

`The Experts Agree Wang Discloses

`
`• Petitioner’s Declarant: Dr. Overzet
`
`• Zond’s Declarant: Dr. Hartsough
`
`Overzet Dec. at ¶ 75 (Ex. 1036)
`
`Q. But if impedance changes relatively little during the transition from a low-
`to high- density plasma, then it’s indicative of no short circuit or arcing, right? . . .
`
`A. That’s indicative of no- certainly no unipolar arc. . . .

`

`Zond’s Expert Concedes Wang Discloses
`“Without Forming an Arc”
`
`Q. So is it sufficient to meet the claim if one time you form the strongly-ionized
`plasma without forming an arc in a system such as Wang? …
`
`A. If one were doing discovery of that, one would look at the entire claim without, and
`with – without forming an arc would be one of the things that you would look at.
`
`Wang at 7:47-49
`
`Q. That’s the thing I’m looking at right now.
`
`A. You know, you’re very focused on one part of the entire claim. . . .
`
`Q. Sir, but tiny parts of claims matter, too; you understand that? …
`
`A. Let me -- I -- I think you are going back to -- I will go back to an earlier
`question. If Wang produces a pulse that doesn’t arc, then Wang meets the
`‘does not arc’ part of that claim. They match.”

`

`Kudryavstev’s Teachings are Not Limited to Any
`Specific Experiment
`
`Q. And Kudryavstev is essentially analogous to a flash tube; is that
`right?
`
`A. . . . Kudryavstev really consists of two parts. First, the
`description of a model, which as Kudryavstev states himself,
`should be applied whenever one faces a situation of a
`plasma being exposed to a pulse electric field. And then a
`part two which describes a particular experiment, one of
`many possible in which he chooses to verify this model with
`the understanding that he could have chosen a lot other
`implementations of this particular experiment.”

`

`Kudryavstev’s Teachings are Not Limited to Any

`
`Q. Would you consider equation (9b) to be a model?
`
`A. It would be my understanding, and I believe it to be the
`understanding of one of ordinary skill in the art, that to limit
`Kudryavstev’s paper to a -- and model to a single equation
`would be to do violence to this paper.

`

`Kudryavstev Teaches a Voltage Pulse Increases the
`Excitation Rate
`
`Q. What causes the increase in electron density?
`
`A. So according to Kudryavstev, which is a very insightful paper,
`in a pulse discharge electron density increases due to an increase
`in ionization, and this increase in ionization can be caused by an
`increase in stepwise ionization….
`
`The increase in stepwise ionization, according to Kudryavstev’s
`paper, is caused by an increase in the density of excited atoms.…
`
`The increase of the density of excited atoms is caused by an increase
`in the excitation rate of ground state atoms.
`
`Q. And what increases the excitation rate of ground state atoms?
`
`A. So the excitation rate of ground state atoms is mathematically
`defined as a rate coefficient, which depends on the electric field
`strength, so here the voltage pulse, and times the electron density
`times the density of ground state atoms.

`

`Summary of Zond’s Arguments against Combining
`Wang and Kudryavtsev
`
`Zond identifies only physical differences between Wang and Kudryavtsev
`in support of its arguments that they would not be combined:
`
`• Kudryavtsev uses a “flash tube” rather than a “magnetron sputter reactor”
`
`• “Kudryavtsev’s flash tube uses very different pressures than the sputtering
`devices of Wang…”
`
`• “Kudryavtsev’s system does not use magnets” while “Wang’s system includes
`a magnetron”
`
`•
`
`“Wang and Kudryavtsev have very different reactor dimensions” in
`particular the gap size between electrodes
`
`• Location of voltage pulses are different
`
`See, e.g., Patent Owner Response at 22-32
`
`35
`
`

`

`Zond’s Reliance on Physical Differences as Reasons
`Not To Combine Prior Art are Without Merit
`
`• Such alleged differences are inconsequential
`

`

`Disputes with Respect to Dependent Claims
`
`• Claims 2 and 3:
`‒ Whether Wang discloses a power supply that generates “a constant
`power” or “a constant voltage.”
`
`• Claim 6:
`‒ Whether Wang discloses choosing the rise time of a voltage pulse “to
`increase the ionization rate.”
`
`• Claims 44 and 49:
`‒ Whether Mozgrin thesis teaches a “rise time of a voltage pulse
`approximately between 0.01 and 100V/sec.”
`
`• Claims 9, 26, and 31:
`‒ Whether Wang teaches a “strongly ionized plasma is substantially
`uniform proximate to the sputtering target.”
`
`• Claim 22:
`‒ Whether Wang teaches “a substantially uniform electric field.”
`
`37
`
`

`

`Disputes with Respect to Dependent Claims
`
`• Claim 30:
`‒ Whether Wang teaches “the strongly ionized plasma impacts the surface of
`the sputtering target in a substantially uniform manner.”
`
`• Claim 13:
`‒ Whether Wang in view of Kudryavtsev teaches choosing the volume between
`the cathode assembly and the anode “to increase the ionization rate.”
`
`• Claim 11:
`‒ Whether Li teaches “a temperature controller that controls the temperature
`of the substrate support.”
`
`• Claims 17 and 39:
`‒ Whether Müller-Horsche teaches an “ionization source comprising a UV source.”
`
`• Claims 38:
`‒ Whether Yamaguchi teaches “ionizing the feed gas comprises exposing the
`feed gas to an electrode that is adapted to emit electrons.”

`

`Rise Time “between 0.01 and 100V/µsec”
`Claims 44 and 49
`
`Mozgrin Thesis at p. 42
`
`• Assuming fastest rise time (5µs) = 72V/µs;
`
`• Assuming slowest rise time (60µs) = 1.2V/µs
`
`See Kortshagen Dec. ¶ 100 (Ex. 1002)
`
`“Mozgrin’s rise time of 1.2V/µs to 72V/µs is for the
`
`purpose of transitioning from a low-density plasma
`
`to a high-density plasma, just like in Wang.”

`

`Impacting the Target in a Substantially Uniform Manner
`Claim 30
`
`Wang at 4:49-51
`
`Q. And the rotation of the magnet is performed to make a
`more uniform plasma near the target; right?
`
`A. … It makes a more uniform erosion of the target over
`time.

`

`Choosing the Volume Between the Cathode and Anode
`Claim 13
`
`• “A person of ordinary skill
`in the art reading Wang in
`light of Kudryavstev would
`not look to implement
`Kudryavstev’s anode and
`cathode geometry in
`Wang’s system”
`
`• “[I]t would have been
`obvious to a person of
`ordinary skill in the art to
`adjust Wang’s anode and
`cathode assembly to
`achieve the explosive
`ionization increase as
`taught by Kudryavstev.”

`

`Controlling the Temperature of the Substrate Support
`Claim 11
`
`Q. Well, it was known in the
`art as of 2002 that you
`could control the
`temperature of a substrate
`holder in order to control
`the temperature of the
`substrate itself; right?
`
`A. Yes.

`UV Ionization Source
`Claims 17 and 39
`
`Muller-Horsche at 1:34-36 (Ex. 1021)
`
`“Muller-Horsche is very similar to Wang, in that it teaches a two-
`stage ionization process”
`
`Overzet Dec. ¶ 105 (Ex. 1036)
`
`Q. And using a UV source to ionize gas was well known in the art
`prior to 2002; correct?
`
`A. Yes.

`

`Ionizing the Feed Gas with an Electrode That
`Emits Electrons
`Claim 38
`
`Q. Nonetheless, he’s teaching an electrode
`that’s adapted to emit electrons; correct?
`
`A. That is correct.
`
`* * *
`
`Q. Yeah, it’s the feed gas? …
`
`A. Yeah.
`
`Q. And this gas is exposed to this electrode;
`correct?
`
`A. Well, it’s – yes, it’s exposed to the
`electrode, yeah.
`
`* * *
`
`Q. So it’s ionizing the feed gas; right?
`
`A. It’s producing ions of the feed gas.
