Embodiment Construction

[0024] Embodiments of the present invention present methods and chemical management systems for controlling various aspects of fluid delivery and / or recovery.

[0025] System Overview

[0026] figure 1 One embodiment of a processing system 100 is shown. Generally, the processing system 100 includes a processing chamber 102 and a chemical management system 103 . According to one embodiment, the chemical management system 103 includes an input subsystem 104 and an output subsystem 106 . It is contemplated that any number of components of the subsystems 104 , 106 may be onboard or off-board with respect to the processing chamber 102 . As used herein, "on-board" means that the subsystem (or components thereof) is integrated with the processing chamber 102 in a Fab (clean room environment), or more generally with the processing tool of which the processing chamber 102 is a part; and "Off-board" means that the subsystem (or components thereof) are located separately from the p...

Abstract

The invention relates to methods and systems for chemical management. In one embodiment, a blender is coupled to a processing system and configured to supply an appropriate solution or solutions to the system. Solutions provided by the blender are then reclaimed from the system and subsequently reintroduced for reuse. The blender may be operated to control the concentrations of various constituents in the solution prior to the solution being reintroduced to the system for reuse. Some chemicals introduced to the system may be temperature controlled. A back end vacuum pump subsystem separates gases from liquids as part of a waste management system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and systems for managing chemicals in processing environments, such as semiconductor manufacturing environments. Background technique [0002] In various industries, chemical delivery systems are used to supply chemicals to processing equipment. Example industries include the semiconductor industry, the pharmaceutical industry, the biomedical industry, the food processing industry, the household products industry, the personal care products industry, the petroleum industry, and the like. [0003] Of course depending on the specific process performed, the chemicals are delivered by a given chemical delivery system. Thus, the specific chemicals supplied to the semiconductor processing equipment depend on the processes performed on the wafers in the equipment. Exemplary semiconductor processes include etching, cleaning, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), and wet deposition (eg, chemical vapor deposition, electr...
