摘要:
A liquid chemical supply system that performs accurate pressure feedback control and controls the discharge flow rate of liquid chemical with high precision, even when the pressure setting value of the operation pressure differs due to changes in the type of liquid chemical, includes a pump having a pump chamber and an operation chamber separated by a diaphragm comprised of a flexible membrane. The intake and discharge of liquid chemical is performed in accordance with the change in pressure inside the operation chamber. An electro-pneumatic regulator supplies operation gas pressure to the operation chamber. A plurality of pressure sensors having different pressure detection ranges is provided for detecting the operation gas pressure. A controller selectively employs any of the detection results of the plurality of sensors in accordance with the pressure setting value of the operation air that is set for each use, and performs pressure feedback control.

[Problem] To always perform accurate pressure feedback control, and control the discharge flow rate of liquid chemical with high precision, even in situations in which the pressure setting value of the operation pressure differs due to changes in the type of liquid chemical, etc. [Means of solution] A pump 11 has a pump chamber 13 and an operation chamber 14 separated by a diaphragm 12 comprised of a flexible membrane, and performs the intake and discharge of liquid chemical in accordance with the change in pressure inside the operation chamber 14. An electro-pneumatic regulator 32 supplies operation air to the operation chamber 14. In addition, in the present system, a plurality of pressure sensors 51, 63 having different pressure detection ranges is provided as pressure detection means for detecting the operation air pressure. A controller 40 selectively employs any of the detection results of the plurality of sensors 51, 63 in accordance with the pressure setting value of the operation air that is set for each use, and performs pressure feedback control.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a spin coating apparatus for feeding a clean liquid at a fixed rate. In any of the feeding apparatus in the prior art, no constituent other than a filter has the function of eliminating foreign matter, and the operation of feeding a liquid under precise control is not attained. This results in the problem of the mixing of the foreign matter (and air bubbles) in the feed liquid, and the problem of nonuniformity in a feed speed as well as a feed amount. As expedients for solving these problems, the present invention provides the functions of automatically sensing and excluding factors for the appearances of the foreign matters, and devices for automatically and precisely controlling feed control elements such as a pump, thereby feeding the clean liquid in a constant amount and at a constant speed.
