Closed loop residual gas analyzer process control technique

A technique for use in fabricating an integrated circuit are disclosed. The method generally begins by performing an operation on a wafer using a fabrication tool. Next, volatiles are desorbed from the wafer. The desorbed volatiles are sampled and raw spectral data indicating the content of the desorbed volatiles is generated. The raw spectral data is subjected to a spectroscopic analysis. An operational parameter of the fabrication tool is then modified responsive to the result of the results of the spectroscopic analysis. In one particular aspect of the invention, a controller receives the raw spectral data and processes the raw spectral data to determine the presence of a residual material on the wafer. The controller then controls the process flow operation to reduce the amount of the residual material on the wafer responsive to the results of processing the raw spectral data. Other aspects of the invention include the apparatus implementing the process flow and the controller itself.

System, method and apparatus for mud-gas extraction, detection and analysis thereof

The application of a gas analyzer for gas mud logging is presented to measure gases in the return mud flow used in drilling processes. A supported membrane extraction probe from the analyzer is inserted into the mud flow. The probe extracts target gases from the mud through the membrane. Extracted gases are transported by an internal pump to an internal gas sensor unit. The infrared sensor unit is utilized to subject the gases to infrared emitted energy to excite the gasses at a molecular level for sensing and detection. The sensor then transfers sensed values electronically to a digital conditioning board. As the data is digitized in the conditioning board it is encoded with information to enable a means of correlating the derived sensor data. The data is then sent to a digital wireless transceiver for transport to a remote receiving transceiver connected to a microprocessor for data logging.
