  • Publication number: 20220390840
    Abstract: A light-enhanced wafer processing system disclosed herein which includes a rotatable chuck configured to support and selectively rotate at least one wafer, at least one dispenser body configured to selectively flow at least one photolytic material onto a surface of the wafer, and at least one optical radiation source may be configured to provide optical radiation to at least a portion of the wafer having photolytic material applied thereto, wherein the optical radiation is configured to result in the formation of optically-induced radicals having enhanced reactivity with at least one material applied to the wafer.

  • Patent number: 8339607
    Abstract: An apparatus and method provide measurement of a constituent of a fluid, such as ozone in ozonated water. The apparatus includes a vessel to contain the fluid, a light source configured to direct a first band of light and a second band of light along a substantially shared path though the fluid, and a photosensor that senses the first band of light and the second band of light. The constituent has a greater absorption associated with the first band of light than with the second band of light. The method includes modification of a measured attribute of the component in response to the sensed second band of light to improve the accuracy of the measured attribute.

  • Patent number: 7622037
    Abstract: The invention features an apparatus and a method for supplying ozonated water to more than one process tool. Ozonated water of a first concentration received from an ozonated water generator and water received from a source are mixed to produce ozonated water of a second concentration. The ozonated water of a second concentration is supplied to a first process tool. Ozonated water from the ozonated water generator is supplied to a second process tool while supplying the ozonated water of the second concentration to the first process tool.
