    • 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. The rate of flow of the slurry to the CMP platen over time is determined by monitoring the change (decline) in weight of the filled dispense module. 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. In response, the regulator structure communicates a second signal to the gas supply valve, reflecting an appropriate change in the rate of flow of CMP slurry material to the platen. This second signal causes the gas supply valve to vary the flow of inert gas to the dispense module in order to control changes in the flow rate of the slurry.
    • 利用闭环控制将液体材料精确地分配到半导体加工工具中。 在一个实施例中,已知密度的CMP浆料材料从储存器/混合容器供应到分配模块。 分配模块还通过气体供给阀接收惰性气体流。 在分配模块中由于惰性气体流动引起的正压力导致浆料从分配模块流出到CMP压板。 通过监测填充的分配模块的重量变化(下降)来确定浆料在一段时间内流向CMP压板的速率。 以类似的方式,可以通过监测填充的分配模块的重量变化随时间的变化来检测浆料随着时间的流动速率的变化。 与分配模块和供气阀电子通信的调节器结构在不同的时间点接收指示分配模块的重量变化的第一信号。 作为响应,调节器结构将第二信号传递到气体供应阀,反映了CMP浆料材料流向压板的适当变化。 该第二信号使气体供应阀改变与分配模块的惰性气体的流量,以便控制浆料流速的变化。
