Abstract: Liquid material is precisely dispensed to a semiconductor processing tool utilizing closed loop control. In one embodiment, CMP slurry material of known density is supplied from a reservoir/mixing vessel to a dispense module. The dispense module also receives a flow of an inert gas through a gas supply valve. Positive pressure arising within the dispense module due to the inert gas flow causes an outflow of slurry from the dispense module to the CMP platen.

In a similar manner, variation in the rate of flow of slurry over time may be detected by monitoring variation in changes in weight of the filled dispense module over time. A regulator structure in electronic communication with the dispense module and with the gas supply valve receives first signals at different time points indicating the weight change of the dispense module.

Abstract: The present invention provides a packaging device which allows for expulsion or delivery of its contents by means of the user's breath. The contents to be expelled are either pre-packaged, or else loaded from the front end (i.e., chewing gum, sugar sprinkles and other candy, confetti, beads, as well as fine powdered incense/fragrances and the like). The objects or contents may be launched into the air by blowing into the back of the tube, much like a pea-shooter. There are three primary features that distinguish it from a traditional pea-shooter. First, the objects are loaded from the front. Second, there is a barrier built in that prevents the contents from going the wrong way. Third, perforated sections are created at the “mouth” end, whereby the used end piece can be easily torn away by the previous user in order to create a fresh mouthpiece for the next user.
