Method and apparatus for automatically measuring the concentration of TOC in a fluid used in a semiconductor manufacturing process

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for automatically measuring the concentration of total organic carbon (TOC) in chemicals and ultra-pure water that are used in a wet etch process. The apparatus includes a sampling line extending from a processing bath, and a pump, for extracting a fluid sample from the processing bath, a buffer for filtering foreign material or air bubbles from the fluid, and an analyzer for analyzing the concentration of TOC in the fluid.
