A small footprint, ultra-pure PTFE Teflon sensor for the cleanroom environments and integrated process tools. Monitors real-time the chemical concentrations and provides an Ethernet output signal and immediate feedback to the control system. Connected to the process by a 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch or 1 inch pillar or flare fitting.
• Real-time the chemical concentrations and provides an Ethernet output
signal and immediate feedback, if the chemical is not within the specifications
• Fully digital instrument: No calibration drift and no adjustment or recalibration over time.
K-Patents Semicon Process Refractometer PR-33-S monitors real-time the consistency of liquid chemical concentrations in the ultra-clean semiconductor fabrication processes and integrated process tools. Typical uses of K-Patents PR-33-S include:
• Preventing wrong chemicals or wrong concentrations from entering the process tool or
the wet bench and thus helping to prevent expensive equipment damage and wafer scrap.
• Assisting in optimizing etch process and in increasing the bath life of the etch solution.
• Increasing wafer throughput typically by up to 20%, and reducing cleaning chemical
(e.g. EKC-265) consumption in the post etch polymer removal.
• Helping to achieve tight control of CMP slurries and better uniformity of the planarization process
