Valve assembly for a fluid dispensing gun
In a gun for dispensing a fluid component, a valve assembly controls the dispensing of the fluid component. The valve assembly includes a needle or valve member and a cup assembly having a passage for receiving the needle assembly. A channel system allows flow of the component through the passage past a seal. An actuator assembly may be provided for providing relative movement between the cup assembly and the needle assembly from a valve-closed position to a valve-open position in which the seal is located upstream from a downstream end of the channel system to permit flow of the component through the passage.
1. A method of forming an imager cell, the method comprising the steps of:
forming a first layer of material;
forming a second layer of material on the first layer of material, the second layer of material having a first conductivity type;
doping a top portion of the second layer of material to have a second conductivity type;
forming a third layer of material on the second layer of material;
forming a fourth layer of material of the first conductivity type on the third layer of material;
doping a top portion of the fourth layer of material to have the second conductivity type;
forming a top layer of material of the first conductivity type over the fourth layer of material; and
doping a top portion of the top layer of material to have the second conductivity type, the top layer of material having a band gap that is larger than a band gap of at least one of the underlying layers of material.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the second layer of material is doped with a blanket implant.
3. The method of claim 1 and further comprising the step of forming a sinker of the second conductivity type through the third, fourth, and top layers of material to contact the second layer of material.
4. The method of claim 1 and further comprising the step of forming an isolation trench in the fourth and top layers of material to isolate the second region of the second conductivity type from the sinker.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the fourth and top layers of material are different.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the second layer of material has a band gap that is less than a band gap of silicon.
