    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide a system, method and computer program product for reducing the hold-up volume of a pump. More particularly, embodiments of the invention can determine, prior to dispensing a fluid, a position for a diaphragm in a chamber to reduce a hold-up volume at a dispense pump and/or a feed pump. This variable home position of the diaphragm can be determined based on a set of factors affecting a dispense operation. Example factors may include a dispense volume and an error volume. The home position for the diaphragm can be selected such that the volume of the chamber at the dispense pump and/or feed pump contains sufficient fluid to perform the various steps of a dispense cycle while minimizing the hold-up volume. Additionally, the home position of the diaphragm can be selected to optimize the effective range of positive displacement.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention can include a flow control device comprising an inlet, an outlet, a pressure loss element between the inlet and outlet, a pressure sensor located upstream from the constriction configured to measure a first pressure of a fluid flowing through the flow control device, a pressure sensor located downstream from the constriction, configured to measure a second pressure of the fluid flowing through the flow control device; and a controller coupled to the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor to generate a valve drive signal. The controller can generate a valve control signal based on a differential between the first pressure and the second pressure during a first mode of operation. The controller can also generate a valve control signal based on a measured pressure at a particular pressure sensor during a second mode of operation. The mode of operation can automatically switch.

    摘要: Embodiments disclosed herein provide a pump or a multiple-pump system that can mix chemicals without dilution tanks and can dispense the mixture of chemicals in a precise and highly controllable manner, particularly useful in semiconductor manufacturing processes. In some embodiments, one or more piston pumps of similar displacement are used to mix and dispense the chemical directly. A first valve is opened to a first chemical source. A piston is moved in a first direction to a selected position in a chamber to draw the first chemical into the chamber. The first valve is closed and a second valve is opened to a second chemical source. The piston is moved in the first direction to a second position in the chamber to draw in the second chemical and mix the chemicals. The second valve is closed and the piston is moved to dispense the fluids through a dispense port.
