Problems solved by technology

Therefore, since the functional water supply system in the prior art discharges the functional water to the outside until the gas concentration dissolved in the functional water reaches a set concentration range, the system causes a large waste of functional water
In addition, because the gas concentration is measured at a location near the functional water generator 12, the measured concentration may be higher than the actual gas concentration due to residual gas that is not completely dissolved, thereby causing process failure

Abstract

A supply system for supplying a functional water to a process unit which treats a substrate using the functional water is provided. In the system, the functional water generated in the functional water generator is supplied to a distributor through a functional water supply pipe. Thereafter, the functional water is supplied to the process unit while the process unit performs a process, and the functional water is returned to the functional water generator through a functional water returning pipe while the process unit does not perform a process. A buffer tank is installed in the functional water supply pipe and the concentration of the functional water is measured in a circulation line connected with the buffer tank. When the measured concentration of the functional water goes out of a set concentration range, the functional water is returned to the functional water generator through functional water returning pipe.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for manufacturing a substrate, and more particularly, to a system and method for supplying functional water to a substrate cleaning apparatus. Background technique [0002] During the various process steps in the manufacture of integrated circuits using semiconductor substrates, impurities such as residual chemicals, small particles, contaminants, etc. are generated. In order to remove these impurities, a process step of cleaning the semiconductor substrate is required. In particular, in the manufacture of highly integrated circuits, it is very important to remove fine contaminants attached to the surface of a semiconductor substrate. [0003] In recent years, a method of cleaning a substrate using functional water (for example, hydrogen water, oxygen water, or ozone water) has been used. FIG. 1 is a view schematically showing a commonly used functional water supply system. Referring to FIG. 1...
