WET PROCESS CONTROL

Monitoring particles in your wet bench saves you money. Extend maintenance intervals, improve yield, and lower costs using compression sampling that eliminates erratic data problems due to bubbles and provides real-time information on the condition of your web process.

New Techniques Move InSitu Particle Monitoring Closer to the Wafer (1.7 MB)

This paper was written to outline the communication requirements as applied to a CLS-700T particle counter and LiQuilaz particle counter combination. Both particle counters must be communicated separately via different network addresses. The CLS-700 particle counter employs hardware lines to control when the LiQuilaz particle counter is actively sampling. Only the CLS-700T particle counter command/response sequence pairs are described in detail.
