    摘要: An auto bit check feature for pneumatic valve verification as coupled with a gas line that may be coupled with a semiconductor device process chamber. The gas line can be charged to keep a connected valve closed, where activation of a solenoid forces the gas to bleed out and open the valve. The pneumatic gas line may be is purged to keep a connected valve closed, where activation of the solenoid forces gas to flow in the line and apply a pressure to open the valve. One or more airlines may be coupled between solenoid and the valve, depending on the type of solenoid and/or valve. Described is a method to auto verify that a valve is correctly connected to a specific solenoid in a pneumatic bank. The method can enable verification that a particular solenoid opens a desired valve.
