  • Publication number: 20250069906
    Abstract: A fitting for an upper brush in a double brush scrubbing chamber of a wafer cleaning system is disclosed. The fitting includes a base plate, a flanged pipe, and a threaded connector. The base plate includes a threaded hole with a stop surface therein and a channel extending from the stop surface through a lower surface of the base plate. The flanged pipe is inserted into the base plate such that the flange at the top end of a hollow tube rests on the stop surface and the hollow tube passes through the channel of the base plate. The threaded connector has a passage therethrough, and engages the threaded hole of the base plate to fix the flanged pipe in place. This structure is able to provide fluid while minimizing particle generation.

  • Patent number: 9193032
    Abstract: A supplying system of adding gas into the polishing slurry and method thereof are described. The supplying system includes a slurry container, a gas-mixed container, an adjusting device, a first flow controller, and a second flow controller. The supplying system utilizes the adjusting device to mix the polishing slurry with gas for forming the gas-mixed polishing slurry. The supplying system of adding the gas into the polishing slurry and method thereof are capable of increasing the material removal rate of the surface of the substrate in order to improve the processing quality of the substrate.
