Abstract: Systems and methods are described to determine whether a sample transmitted through a transfer line from a remote sampling system contains a suitable sample to analyze by an analysis system. A system embodiment includes, but is not limited to, a sample receiving line configured to receive a liquid segment a first detector configured to detect the liquid segment at a first location in the sample receiving line; a second detector configured to detect the liquid segment at a second location in the sample receiving line downstream from the first location; and a controller configured to register a continuous liquid segment in the sample receiving line when the first detector and the second detector match detection states prior to the controller registering a change of state of the first detector.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating organic solvent scan solutions and calibration standards inline for semiconductor wafer analysis. A method embodiment includes, but is not limited to, drawing, via a pump system, a first organic solvent from a first organic chemical source; drawing, via the pump system, a second organic solvent from a second organic chemical source; mixing, inline, the first organic solvent and the second organic solvent to form an organic scan solution; and introducing the organic scan solution to a scan nozzle for introduction to one or more surfaces of a semiconducting wafer to remove one or more organic contaminants from the semiconducting wafer.

Abstract: A dual spray chamber apparatus is described. In one or more implementations, the dual spray chamber apparatus includes a first cyclonic spray chamber for receiving an aerosol and conditioning the aerosol to separate a first conditioned portion of the aerosol from a second portion of the aerosol. The first cyclonic spray chamber defines a first chamber interior and comprises an input port in fluid communication with the first chamber interior. The dual spray chamber apparatus also includes a second spray chamber coupled with the first cyclonic spray chamber for receiving the first conditioned portion of the aerosol and further conditioning the first conditioned portion of the aerosol. The second spray chamber defines a second chamber interior and comprises an output port for expelling a first further conditioned portion of the first conditioned portion of the aerosol from the second chamber interior.
