An automated analysis equipment for high-purity liquids

Impurities in the process liquids can introduce defects on the semiconductor chips reducing the fabrication yield. Semiconductors industry urgently needs a better metrology system to monitor critical impurities on all of the process liquids such as ultrapure water (UPW), high-purity acids and solvents on a number of locations on the liquid filtration and distribution systems.

UNISERS is developing a fully-automated equipment to identify and quantify a number of critical impurities on the target liquids with required sensitivity levels. A better impurity metrology will help the industry improve the process, reducing chip defects. Lower defect density improves the manufacturing yield as well as the reliability of the fabricated chips.
