Methods and systems for delivering an ultra-pure gas to a point of use

摘要

Methods and systems of delivering ultra-high purity gas to a point of use are claimed and described. The methods include providing a source of ultra-high purity liquid (the source preferably at a pressure and temperature sufficient to maintain the liquid in substantially the liquid phase); transporting (preferably via pressure in the source alone) the ultra-high purity liquid from the source to one or more means to effect a phase change of the ultra-high purity liquid to an ultra-high purity gas; effecting a phase change (preferably at or near equilibrium vaporization conditions) of the ultra-high purity liquid to form an ultra-high purity gas in the one or more means to effect the phase change; and routing the ultra-high purity gas from the means to effect the phase change to a point of use (preferably with no intermediate, potentially impurity-generating media between the means to effect the phase change and the point of use other than ultra-clean conduit).
