  • Publication number: 20080168946
    Abstract: In a liquid supplying unit liquid is supplied from a buffer vessel to an external unit by pressurizing the liquid present in the buffer vessel using gas supplied to the buffer vessel. A pressure measuring member is provided to measure the pressure inside the buffer vessel, and when the pressure inside the buffer vessel is equal to or greater than a preset reference pressure during refilling of the buffer vessel, gas is discharged from the buffer vessel through a vent line.

  • Publication number: 20080020493
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are generally directed to a chemical supplying apparatus, a semiconductor manufacturing equipment having the same and a method for supplying chemicals. The apparatus includes a tank, a first sensor, and a second sensor. The tank is filled with a liquid chemical and includes an outlet for the liquid chemical. The first sensor transmits a signal to a surface of the liquid chemical to detect a level of the liquid chemical within the tank. The probe includes a gap within which the liquid chemical can flow and the second sensor detects whether the liquid chemical are present inside the gap.

  • Patent number: 6036781
    Abstract: An air current guiding apparatus includes a plurality of dampers installed on a filter unit on an inner wall of air supply unit for blowing clean air over wafers loaded in a boat for transfer to a reaction chamber for chemical vapor deposition. Each of the dampers has a certain length and angular orientation to force the air in a designated direction so that the air current in a wafer loading chamber maintains an appropriate velocity and is free from air turbulence, thereby minimizing the number of contaminating particles in the wafer loading chamber.
