NOVELTY - The source (400) has an elongated housing (405) with cross-sectional profile consisting of a back wall, two sidewalls and two extensions (407). An elongated heat sink (410) is configured to freely move towards and away from extensions. An elongated magnetic pole (415) is configured for scanning motion between the sidewalls. A pneumatic inlet (425) is provided at back wall, and configured for delivering pneumatic pressure to urge elongated heat sink towards the extensions. An elongated target is comprised of extruded copper or extruded aluminum.    USE - Sputtering source for sputtering chamber used for depositing target material on substrate (all claimed), for use with multi-substrate processing system for processing single large substrate such as glass substrate for flat panel display, semiconductor integrated circuit (IC), solar cell and touch screen for pad or cell phone.    ADVANTAGE - The sputtering source is easy and to chap to manufacture. The sputtering source utilizes a very simple and inexpensive target. The sputtering source and target are easy to service and provides high utilization. The target replacement can be obtained easily and quickly, while reducing the time when system is off line for service.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a sputtering chamber for depositing target material on substrate.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a cross sectional view of the sputtering source.    Sputtering source (400)    Elongated housing (405)    Extensions (407)    Heat sink (410)    Elongated magnetic pole (415)    Pneumatic inlet (425)
NOVELTY - A gallium, indium and germanium recycling method involves crushing a waste thin film solar energy battery into powder, treating with sulfuric acid and nitric acid mixed solution, performing solid-liquid separation, collecting first separation liquid containing metal ions of gallium, indium, germanium, cadmium, copper, tin and zinc, adjusting pH value to 0.5-2.0, reacting with soluble sulfide salt, obtaining separation liquid, recycling gallium metal, indium metal and germanium metal, washing at 300-500 degrees C, and reacting at 600-700 degrees C under reducing gas to obtain recycled product.    USE - Method for recycling gallium, indium and germanium.    ADVANTAGE - The method enables recycling gallium, indium and germanium with high purity in an efficient manner.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A gallium, indium and germanium recycling method involves crushing waste thin film solar energy battery into powder, treating with sulfuric acid and nitric acid mixed solution at 60-99 degrees C for 3 minutes to 10 hours, performing solid-liquid separation, collecting first separation liquid containing metal ions of gallium, indium, germanium, cadmium, copper, tin and zinc, adjusting pH value to 0.5-2.0, treating at 40-60 degrees C, reacting with soluble sulfide salt and/or hydrogen sulfide, obtaining separation liquid-II, separation liquid-III and separation liquid-IV, recycling gallium metal, indium metal and germanium metal, washing at 300-500 degrees C, and reacting at 600-700 degrees C under reducing gas to obtain recycled product.
