Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily practice the invention. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. In the drawings, portions that are not related to the description are omitted for the sake of clarity, and like reference numerals and signs are used for like portions throughout the specification.
FIG. 1 is a drawing illustrating the overall topology of the online pollution monitoring system of the present invention.
An online pollution monitoring system of an embodiment of the present invention includes: a plurality of sampling units 100 arranged in a dispersed manner; a main system 200 radially connected to the plurality of sampling units 100 distributed via a transmission line 300; and a transmission line 300 connecting the sampling unit 100 and the main system 200.
The sampling unit 100 introduces a chemical through an introduction line (not shown) connected to a point where the chemical is used, stored, or supplied (mainly in a liquid state), i.e., a monitoring point, and generates a sample (hereinafter referred to as "transmission sample") transmitted through the transmission line 300.
The monitoring points include, for example, Wet process (Wet process) equipment, Chemical Supply devices, pipes, tanks (Tank) and the like in a factory floor (FAB Area), a Service Area (Service Area) or a Chemical Supply Area (Chemical Supply Area) of a semiconductor manufacturing plant, process equipment, pipes, tanks (Tank) and the like in a Chemical manufacturing plant, and the like.
The sampling unit 100 is located in the vicinity of the monitoring point, automatically takes a sample of the chemical used, stored or supplied, and transfers the sample in a quick time to the host system where the analyzer is located. The specific structure of the sampling unit 100 is described in fig. 3 and its description.
The host system 200 receives the transmission sample from the sampling unit 100 through the transmission line 300 to be analyzed by the analyzer. The main system 200 receives the samples transmitted from the plurality of sampling units 100, analyzes the samples, reports whether the analysis result is one or more of contamination, a kind of contamination, or a concentration/content of contamination, and gives an alarm to a user.
The transfer process from the monitoring point to the main system and the transfer process in the main system are all closed systems (closed systems) and are carried out by an on-line delivery (on-line delivery) structure.
In addition, in order to improve the efficiency of the online contamination monitoring system, more sampling units 100 need to be connected to one main system 200, and thus, the distance from the sampling unit 100 to the main system 200 is 100m to 300 m.
Methods for transporting samples of chemicals in the liquid state over long distances are known in two general categories.
The first method is a method of filling all the transfer lines and transferring them like short distance transportation. The above-described method has high reliability, but has a problem that the amount of sample to be sampled is proportional to the transport distance, which causes a very large problem, and the efficiency is reduced.
The second method is a method of vaporizing a chemical in a liquid state and transferring the vaporized sample, and the method has an advantage of improving efficiency as described above, but has a problem that contaminants (main metal components) contained in the chemical are adsorbed to the transfer line during the transfer.
Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a transmission line 300 and a transmission sample a transmitted through the transmission line 300 according to an embodiment of the invention.
According to the present invention, a sample is transferred to a transfer line, and a transfer sample a in a liquid state is transferred in a state where a high-pressure non-reactive gas G is enclosed in front and rear thereof in the transfer line 300. The non-reactive gas is N2 or Ar, etc. The transmission sample is pressurized by the high-pressure non-reactive gas at both sides, and the transmission sample is intermittently transmitted while maintaining a packaged state in the transmission line 300.
The inner diameter d of the transmission line is 0.5 mm-1.6 mm, when the inner diameter is too large, the problem that the packaged transmission sample is damaged exists, and when the inner diameter is too small, the problem that the transmission quantity is small and the transmission efficiency is reduced exists.
Fig. 3 is a structural diagram of the sampling unit 100 according to an embodiment of the invention.
The sampling unit 100 includes: DI Vessel (Vessel) 110, sample Vessel (Vessel) 120, injection valve 130, sensors S11, S12, S13 and medium pressure gate valves V11-V18.
The sampling unit performs a function of introducing a chemical on-line through a line connected to a monitoring point, maintaining the introduced chemical as it is or diluting the introduced chemical with deionized water, thereby reducing viscosity to generate a transmission sample, and transmitting the generated transmission sample through the transmission line 300. The sampling unit receives the test solution supplied from a test solution supply unit (260; see fig. 4 and 7) located near the sampling unit or the main system 200, and transmits the test solution through the transmission line 300.
DI vessel 110 receives the supplied DI water through a medium pressure gate valve V15, and can temporarily store a fixed amount of DI water, and a non-reactive gas such as N2 pushes the DI water temporarily stored in DI vessel 110 through a medium pressure gate valve (V16). The sample vessel 120 and the DI vessel 110 are in the shape of a coil (coil) or a container (container), and have a fixed volume (volume).
Preferably, the DI vessel and the sample vessel are coil-shaped vessels, and particularly, the sample vessel is formed in a coil shape, and when temporarily stored chemicals are washed by deionized water supplied through the DI vessel, the washing can be rapidly performed.
The sample vessel 120 temporarily stores a quantitative chemical introduced from a monitoring point through the medium pressure gate valve V17.
The sensors S11, S12, S13 are optical sensors or proximity sensors capable of at least distinguishing one from another and detecting liquids such as deionized water, chemicals, or test solutions and non-reactive gases such as N2.
The injection valve 130 has, for example, six ports, and both ends of the transfer ring (Delivery Loop) 140 are connected to the two ports, and has a port for receiving the pressurized non-reactive gas such as N2 supplied thereto, a port connected to a Drain system (Drain), a port connected to the transfer line 300, and a port connected to the sample vessel 120 through a medium pressure gate valve V18.
The injection valve 130 is switched between two positions, a loading Position (LoadPosition) and a Delivery Position (Delivery Position), under the control of a control section 250 or the like located in the main system 200. Preferably, the volume of the transfer ring 140 is greater than the volume of the sample vessel 120 or the volume of the sample vessel 120 in combination with the DI vessel 110.
The DI vessel 110, sample vessel 120 and transfer ring 140 are connected in series by means of one or more medium pressure gate valves and injection valves (when the injection valves are in the loading position), in the order of the DI vessel, sample vessel and transfer ring. Thus, when the deionized water temporarily stored in the DI vessel 110 and the chemical temporarily stored in the sample vessel 120 are transferred to the transfer ring 140 and filled, the deionized water washes the chemical of the sample vessel 120, and the chemicals are not left and can be completely transferred to the transfer ring 140. When the chemicals are temporarily stored in the sample vessel 120, a set amount is stored, and Loss (Loss) occurs in the middle, which is not desirable, but is entirely transferred to the transfer ring 140 without residue according to the structure.
Next, the operation of the sampling unit 100 will be explained.
First, chemicals are introduced from a monitoring point through the medium pressure gate valve V17, and the medium pressure gate valves V11, V14, and V17 are opened. The introduction of the chemical is performed by applying a positive pressure to the chemical itself, or by using a pump (not shown) provided in a Drain system (Drain), or the like. The chemical introduced in the initial step of introduction passes through the sample vessel 120, is discharged from the drain system through the intermediate pressure gate valve V14 and the intermediate pressure gate valve V11, and after a certain amount of chemical is discharged, the intermediate pressure gate valve is closed to fill the sample vessel 120 by an amount corresponding to the volume thereof (precisely, by an amount corresponding to the space between the adjacent intermediate pressure gate valves, and in reality, the distance between the intermediate pressure gate valves adjacent to the sample vessel is designed to be very close to each other). The normal introduction of the chemical is confirmed by the sensor S12.
Before the chemical is filled into the sample vessel 120, the intermediate pressure gate valves V16, V12, V14, and V18 are opened, and the DI vessel 110 and the sample vessel 120 are emptied by a non-reactive gas such as N2 with the injection valve 130 set to the loading position.
In case dilution is required, the DI vessel 110 is filled with deionized water DI for use. The intermediate pressure gate valves V15, V12, V11 are opened, initially deionized water flows through the DI vessel 110 to the Drain system (Drain), and after a certain amount is drained, the intermediate pressure gate valves are closed to fill the DI vessel 110 with deionized water.
The dilution ratio is set by the volume ratio of the sample vessel to the DI vessel, and the filled chemical moves with the deionized water to fill the transfer ring 140 connected to the injection valve 130 at one end. As shown in the drawing, the position of the injection valve 130 must be a loading position (loading position) by using a gas pressure such as N2, a pump, or the like, and the state where the sample is filled in the transfer ring 140 is detected by a sensor S13. As described above, the chemicals temporarily stored in the sample vessel 120 and the DI water temporarily stored in the DI vessel 110 are moved from the loading position of the injection valve 130 and filled into the transfer ring 140 to become a transfer sample.
One feature of the present invention is the delivery of a sample of a selectively diluted chemical. The sampling unit 100 selectively dilutes the introduced chemicals with deionized water to produce a reduced viscosity transport sample for transport. Since chemicals such as sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid have high viscosity, they cannot be smoothly transported by the encapsulation method of the present invention, and thus, a large amount of time is consumed in transportation and Loss (Loss) is caused in transportation. According to a feature of the present invention, when the sample is transferred by the encapsulation method, the sample of chemicals such as sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid is diluted and transferred, which has an effect of transferring the sample more smoothly, efficiently and reliably.
And, the transmission sample filled into the transfer ring 140 is rapidly transmitted mostly long distance by the transmission line 300, thereby being transmitted to the main system 200. For this, first, the injection valve 130 is switched to a transfer Position (Delivery Position) in which the transfer sample at the transfer ring is transferred through the transfer line 300 when a non-reactive gas such as N2 or Ar is pressurized by high pressure as shown in the lower side of the drawing. The transfer sample filled into the transfer ring 140 is pushed by the non-reactive gas at the transfer position of the injection valve 130 and transferred through the transfer line 300. At this time, the sample a is transferred in the transfer line 300 as illustrated in fig. 2.
In addition, for the inspection, the sampling unit 100 fills the inspection solution from the inspection solution supply part 260 located near or at the master system 200 to the transfer ring 140 through the medium pressure gate valve V13, and at this time, opens the medium pressure gate valves V13, V14, and V18, and fills the inspection solution to the transfer ring 140 with the injection valve 130 being at the loading position. The test solution is, for example, a standard solution that introduces a contaminant into a specific chemical, and the type and concentration of the contaminant are known in advance.
And, after the transmission of the transmission sample, the internal channel of the sampling unit 100 is washed by deionized water or chemicals. For example, when the intermediate pressure gate valves V16, V12, V14, and V18 are opened, deionized water DI is flowed to a Drain system (Drain) and cleaned with the injection valve 130 being in the loading position.
After the transfer of the transfer sample is performed, the transfer line 300 is cleaned with deionized water or chemicals. For example, after deionized water is loaded into the transfer ring 140, a process of transferring the deionized water is performed several times. One sampling unit 100 takes samples from a plurality of monitoring points and transfers the samples, and a plurality of structures as shown in fig. 3 are formed.
Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing the structure of a main system 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The host system 200 includes: a sample receiving part 210, a pretreatment part 220, an introduction part 230, an analyzer 240, a control part 250, and a test solution supply part 260.
The sample receiving part 210 receives transmission samples from the connected plurality of sampling units 100 through the transmission line 300. For example, one end of the transfer line 300 of the sample receiving portion 210 or a line extending therefrom includes a line or the like for transferring a transferred sample received by a cylinder-shaped vessel (not shown below) and a vessel hanging from the inside to the preprocessing portion 220 to be described later, and has a number of vessels corresponding to the number of transfer lines, or the number of vessels corresponding to each group of transfer lines.
The pretreatment unit 220 is connected to the sample receiving unit 210, and in a state where the specimen to be transferred from the sample receiving unit 210 is received and accommodated in a pretreatment dish, the liquid for transferring the specimen is evaporated to leave the contaminant, and the recovered specimen (hereinafter, referred to as "recovered specimen") is generated using the remaining contaminant as a recovery solution.
The introduction part 230 is located at the rear end of the pretreatment part 220 and introduces a quantitative recovered sample into the analyzer 240, and performs functions of supplying a standard solution for calibration of the other analyzer 240 and selectively diluting the recovered sample with deionized water.
The analyzer 240 is a well-known device for analyzing a substance present in a sample, analyzes whether or not contamination occurs, a kind of the contamination, a concentration or a content of the contamination, and the like, and is HPIC, ICPMS, ICP-AES, AAS, HPLC, CE, UV-vis, fluoroscience, and the like, and is preferably ICP-MS.
The control section 250 controls the respective sections of the main system 200 and the sampling unit 100, for example, receives a sensing signal from a sensor, connects the signal to an analyzer, and controls a medium pressure gate valve, an injection valve, and the like. The test solution supply part 260 performs a function of supplying a test solution (standard solution) to the sampling unit 100 for testing.
Fig. 5 is a diagram showing a structure of the preprocessing section 220 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The pretreatment section 220 evaporates the liquid of the transmission sample and leaves contaminants in a state where the transmission sample is accommodated in the pretreatment vessel 221, and generates a sample ("recovered sample") in which the left contaminants are recovered by the recovery solution. The pretreatment section 220 heats a sample of the chemical, evaporates to remove the liquid, and leaves only the contaminants of the metal components, recovered and analyzed.
The preprocessing section 220 includes: the preprocessor dish 221, the external dish (Outer Vessel) 222, the Heater (Heater) 223, the Cooler (Cooler) 224, the first injection valve 225, the second injection valve 226, and a plurality of medium-pressure gate valves (V21, V22, V23, etc.) have a heating and cooling function, a function of quantitatively supplying a recovery solution, a function of introducing a quantitative sample, and a function of transferring and washing a preprocessed sample.
The preprocessor vessel 221 is made of quartz, PTFE, PFA, or PEEK, has infrared transmittance, transmits at least infrared rays from the heater 223, and is preferably made of a chemical resistant and heat resistant material. Further, the lower portion of the pre-processor dish 221 is U-shaped or V-shaped, so that a small amount of the collected sample can be easily introduced into the analyzer.
The exterior of the preconditioner vessel 221 is surrounded by an outer vessel 222 and contains liquid that overflows from the preconditioner vessel 221.
The heater 223 evaporates and concentrates the liquid of the sample contained in the pre-processor dish 222, preferably evaporating all the liquid and leaving only contaminants such as metals.
The heater 223 uses a lamp type heater such as infrared IR or Halogen (Halogen). The chemical-resistant plastic material is deformed at about 250 to 300 degrees, but when the lamp heater applies radiant heat, only the sample located inside the preconditioner vessel 221 is heated without a large increase in the temperature of the preconditioner vessel 221 made of plastic having excellent chemical resistance. Further, the problem that cooling is necessary when the temperature of the preprocessor dish becomes high, but generally, the cooling time takes longer than the temperature rise, and thus, the online (On-line) sample processing is not suitable, can be solved.
According to one feature of the present invention, the preprocessor dish is formed of an infrared ray transmitting material, and the heater for heating the preprocessor dish is manufactured in a lamp type, thereby having an effect that the temperature of the preprocessor dish is not greatly increased, thereby enabling rapid cooling, and thus enabling rapid contamination analysis of a sample.
In addition to the lamp type heater 223, a total heat heater, a carbon heater, a Peltier (Peltier), a microwave (microwave), a hot n2, or the like can be generally used.
The first injection valve 225 is used to introduce a sample (transfer sample) into the preconditioner vessel 221, and the second injection valve 226 is used to introduce a recovery solution into the preconditioner vessel 221.
The recovery solution is used to melt the dried sample (contaminants) and a set volume of recovery solution is supplied to the preconditioner dish 221. When the recovered solution is a metal contaminant, an acid series such as nitric acid or hydrofluoric acid + hydrogen peroxide can be used.
Next, the operation of the preprocessing unit 220 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
First, the transferred sample is transferred from the vessel of the sample receiving part 210 to the pre-processor vessel 221, and at this time, a first injection valve (injection valve) 225, a quantitative pump system, or the like is used to introduce a quantitative sample. For example, the sample is loaded to the sample loop of the injection valve at the loading position of the first injection valve 225, and the loaded sample is transferred to the pre-processor dish 221 at the injection position by means of the structure 227 pressurized by the non-reactive gas, or the like.
And, the sample of the pre-processor dish 221 is heated by the energy of the heater 223, evaporating the liquid and leaving only the contaminants to be analyzed. When the liquid of the sample is evaporated, only the contaminants within the sample remain at the bottom of the pre-processor dish 221, and when the remaining contaminants are recovered by the recovery solution of less amount than the transferred sample, a concentration effect can be obtained. Examples of the liquid (chemical) to be evaporated are sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrofluoric acid, ammonium hydroxide, IPA, and the like.
And, the pre-processor dish 221 is cooled by the cooler 224, and the pre-processor dish 221 heated for drying the sample must be cooled for the accuracy of the recovery. As described above, the lamp type is easily cooled, and is also easily cooled by the dispersion of a gas such as N2. As another cooling method, a method using cooling water, a method using a Peltier element, or the like can be used.
And, in order to analyze the contaminants remaining in the preprocessor dish 221, the contaminants are recovered as a recovery solution. Before supplying the recovery solution, the pretreater dish 221 must be cooled to room temperature, and a second injection valve 226, a constant-volume pump system, or the like is used as shown in the figure to introduce a constant-volume recovery solution. For example, the recovery solution is loaded on the sample loop of the injection valve at the loading position of the second injection valve 226, and the loaded recovery solution is transferred to the pre-processor dish 221 by means of a structure 228 pressurized by a non-reactive gas, or the like at the injection position. A set volume of the recovery solution, nitric acid or hydrofluoric acid + hydrogen peroxide, etc., is supplied to the preconditioner dish to melt the dried sample.
The collected sample (collected sample) is transferred to an analyzer through an introduction portion and analyzed. In a state where the medium pressure gate valve V23 is opened, the collected sample in the cuvette 221 is loaded on a sample loop coupled to a third injection valve 231 of an introduction part 230 (see fig. 6) described below, and then transferred to the analyzer 240. For loading the sample ring, gas pressurization or pumping or the like is used.
After the pretreatment and transfer of the sample, the moving path and the pretreatment vessel are cleaned to achieve initialization. In order to improve washing efficiency, the vessel is formed in an overflow type structure (over flow type) with an outer vessel 222 so as to surround the pre-processor vessel 221. The heater 223 is formed outside or inside the external vessel 224, and in the case of being formed outside, the external vessel 224 is also made of an infrared ray transmitting material. The preconditioner dish can be occasionally rinsed with deionized water or a rinse solution to maintain a clean condition.
According to a feature of the invention, a pre-treatment function for the sample is added. The chemical sample components are present in various properties such as organic, acidic, and basic properties. When pollutants with the same concentration have different characters, the analysis results are different. The main components of the chemical product differ from each other in the matrix, and thus, differences occur in the sample introduction process, differences in the interference influence during analysis, and the like. Even if the same properties are obtained, the above-described effects occur due to density and component differences. Further, sometimes the concentration of the contaminant in the sample is too low, and the analysis by the analyzer may not be easily performed.
According to one feature of the present invention, evaporation of a solution using a sample and recovery of a recovered solution are performed, whereby the matrix is equal in composition, density, and the like, and the process is automatically performed not in an open state but in a closed state, thereby achieving the accuracy of analysis and obtaining stability.
Fig. 6 is a diagram showing a structure of the introduction part 230 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The introduction part 230 is located at the rear end of the pretreatment part 220, introduces a quantitative recovery sample into the analyzer 240, performs the functions of supplying a standard solution for the scale of the other analyzer 240 and selectively diluting the recovery sample as deionized water.
The recycle sample is loaded from the pre-processor dish of the pre-processing part 220 to the sample ring at the loading position of the third injection valve 231, and the recycle sample loaded to the sample ring is moved to the analyzer 240 side by pushing deionized water at the injection position by the quantitative pump P22.
The T-pipe 233 is provided on the route leading to the analyzer, and when the collected sample is led to the analyzer 240, deionized water is selectively led to the T-pipe 233 by the quantitative pumps P21 to dilute the collected sample, and the dilution ratio is determined according to the amount (flow rate) of deionized water pushed by each quantitative pump.
The standard solution is loaded to the sample ring of the fourth injection valve 232 at the loading position of the fourth injection valve 232, and the standard solution loaded as deionized water is pushed by the metering pump at the injection position, supplied to the analyzer 240 and calibrated to the analyzer 240.
The sensors S21 and S22 are disposed near the sample loop, and detect the sample or standard solution filled in the sample loop.
Fig. 7 is a diagram showing the structure of the test solution supply part 260 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The test solution supply part 260 is a device that supplies a test solution to the sampling unit 100, and when the result of analyzing the transmission sample by the analyzer is detected as contamination, the sampling unit 100 transmits the test solution again through the transmission line 300 and performs a test by the analyzer.
As an embodiment, the test solution supply part 260 is included in the main system 200, and the system can be more efficiently formed by supplying the test solution from the test solution supply part 260 to each sampling unit 100 through the supply line 310.
The test solution (standard solution) is filled into the test solution tank 261 by a pump P shown by opening medium-pressure gate valves V24, V27 or by pressurization or depressurization, and the filling of the test solution is confirmed by a sensor (optical sensor, proximity sensor, etc.) S23.
And, the test solution filled into the test solution tank 261 opens the medium pressure gate valves V26, V29 and is transferred through the transfer line 300 by pressurizing the non-reactive gas such as N2 for supply to the sampling unit 100. The transferred test solution is finally stored to a delivery loop (delivery loop) of the sampling unit 100 through a valve, and then transferred to the main system again through the transfer line 300 and analyzed. The test solution transferred to the main system is analyzed and the result is judged through a general analysis sequence.
In describing the main operation process around the inspection process, as shown below, the control of the main process is performed by the control section 250 of the main system 200.
Generally, when each sampling unit 100 transmits a sample to the host system 200, the host system 200 receives the transmitted sample for analysis.
However, when contamination is detected based on the analysis result, the control part 250 of the main system 200 gives a first alarm to the user, so that the test solution supply part 260 located at the main system 200 or the like supplies the test solution (standard solution) to the corresponding sampling unit 100, the sampling unit 100 transmits the test solution through the same transmission line 300 for the test, and the main system 200 analyzes the received test solution. That is, a standard solution containing a contaminant of known kind and concentration is transferred from the sampling unit to the main system through the same path, and analyzed by the same analysis method as the previous analysis.
And when the analysis result of the transmitted test solution is different from the prediction of the test solution, judging that the pollution monitoring system is abnormal. And when the analysis result is the same as the prediction of the test solution, judging that the pollution monitoring system is normal. For example, when a contaminant different from the contaminant contained in the test solution or the same type of contaminant is detected but the concentration of the contaminant contained in the test solution indicates that a difference exceeding a predetermined range is present, it is determined that an abnormality is present in the contamination monitoring system.
And when the pollution monitoring system is judged to be normal, the sample of the chemical product is analyzed again, and when the analysis result is confirmed to be pollution again, a second alarm is sent out, and the generation is stopped. And when the pollution monitoring system is judged to be abnormal, the abnormal condition of the pollution monitoring system is sent to a user for alarming.
In the production line, the pollution problem is closely related to the yield and productivity, and must be managed with great importance. If contamination is detected, the production process must be interrupted to prevent a number of undesirable phenomena from occurring. However, when the contamination analysis result is not reliable, a large loss is caused by production interruption due to an erroneous analysis result.
According to one feature of the present invention, there is an effect that a test solution supply portion is provided which supplies a test solution to a sampling unit, and when a result of analyzing a transmission sample by an analyzer is detected as contamination, the sampling unit transmits the test solution through the same transmission line and is inspected by the analyzer, and a problem of production interruption due to transmission of an erroneous contamination alarm can be prevented from occurring.
