Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ion analysis technology, and specifically relates to an intermittent optical ion detection architecture for line edges. Background Technology
[0002] The "line edge" typically refers to the material storage area next to the production line. Ionic contamination can lead to problems such as electrochemical migration, short circuits, and poor solder joints in materials near the production line, directly affecting product reliability and lifespan. Regular testing can promptly identify and resolve ion residue issues, preventing defective products from entering the market. Test results can guide production process improvements, such as adjusting welding process parameters and optimizing cleaning procedures, thereby reducing the risk of ion contamination and improving production efficiency.
[0003] Currently available ion analysis devices rely on a main equipment-side reagent pump to provide pressure for sampling and analysis (such as nickel and copper ion monitoring devices). If an anomaly causes sampling failure, the device cannot detect it and will send incorrect analysis results. If there is a linked concentration control device, it can lead to serious reagent abnormalities, increasing the testing cost. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the intermittent optical ion detection architecture for line edges provided by the present invention achieves at least the following beneficial effects: This invention can sample automatically without relying on external pressure; through basic pipeline layout and sensors, it can determine whether sampling is successful, reducing the probability of system misjudgment; in terms of inspection and maintenance, it can visually determine whether the solution is flowing normally through quartz flow cell one and quartz flow cell two; by sensing the time difference through sensor one and sensor two, it can determine whether the performance of the drug pump has deteriorated; it can perform sampling detection and has the function of external standard solution calibration; the analysis cycle is short and the architecture is compact, which reduces the detection cost and facilitates maintenance.

Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.
[0021] See the attached instruction manual. Figure 1-4An intermittent optical ion detection architecture for line edge includes a peristaltic pump 1, which is connected to a three-way solenoid valve 6 via an input pipe 4. The three-way solenoid valve 6 has a left port 7, a middle port 10, and a right port 12. The left port 7 is connected to a chemical tank 9, and the right port 12 is connected to a calibration pipe 11. The peristaltic pump 1 is connected to a quartz flow cell 13 via an input pipe 25. The quartz flow cell 13 is connected to an ion detection sensor 16 via an input pipe 35. The ion detection sensor 16 is connected to the quartz flow cell 28 via an input pipe 47. Quartz flow cell 2 18 is connected to three-way solenoid valve 2 21 through input pipe 5 20. Three-way solenoid valve 2 21 has a left port 2 23, a middle port 2 22 and a right port 2 24. Left port 2 23 is connected to medicine tank 2 32. Right port 2 24 is connected to the middle port 3 29 of three-way solenoid valve 3 26. Three-way solenoid valve 3 26 has a left port 3 30 and a right port 3 27. Right port 3 27 is connected to waste discharge pipe 34 through normally closed solenoid valve 33. Left port 3 30 is connected to air pipe 31. Quartz flow cell 1 13 and quartz flow cell 2 18 are arranged vertically.
[0022] Quartz flow cell 13 is equipped with sensor 14, and quartz flow cell 28 is equipped with sensor 29. Sensor 14 is an optical sensor or a capacitive sensor, and sensor 29 is an optical sensor or a capacitive sensor, both of which can perform non-contact measurement. A medicine pipe 8 is provided between left port 17 and medicine tank 19, and a medicine pipe 25 is provided between left port 23 and medicine tank 22. A pipe connector 2 is provided between peristaltic pump 1 and input pipe 14. A pipe connector 23 is provided between peristaltic pump 1 and input pipe 25. Right port 24 is connected to intermediate port 39 through intermediate pipe 125. An intermediate pipe 28 is provided between right port 37 and normally closed solenoid valve 33. The normally closed solenoid valve 33 remains closed when de-energized, which can effectively block fluid flow and avoid the risk of media leakage.
[0023] When the three-way solenoid valve 16 is de-energized, the left port 17 is connected to the middle port 10, and the right port 12 is disconnected from the middle port 10. When the three-way solenoid valve 16 is energized, the left port 17 is disconnected from the middle port 10, and the right port 12 is connected to the middle port 10. When the three-way solenoid valve 21 is de-energized, the left port 23 is connected to the middle port 22, and the right port 24 is disconnected from the middle port 22. When the three-way solenoid valve 21 is energized, the left port 23 is disconnected from the middle port 22, and the right port 24 is connected to the middle port 22. When the three-way solenoid valve 26 is de-energized, the left port 30 is connected to the middle port 29, and the right port 27 is disconnected from the middle port 29. When the three-way solenoid valve 26 is energized, the left port 30 is disconnected from the middle port 29, and the right port 27 is connected to the middle port 29.
[0024] The steps for ion detection are as follows: Step 11: The three-way solenoid valve 21 is energized to cut off the air, the peristaltic pump 1 reverses, and after the sensor 14 and sensor 29 detect no liquid, the peristaltic pump 1 stops after a delay of T1 seconds (the user sets the time T1 to empty the detection pipeline), and the three-way solenoid valve 21 is de-energized. Step 12: Peristaltic pump 1 rotates forward to draw out the medicine. After sensor 14 and sensor 29 detect the presence of liquid, the peristaltic pump 1 stops pumping after a delay of T2 seconds (the user sets the time T2 to ensure successful sampling and fresh medicine). Step 13: Ion detection sensor 16 measures ion concentration; Step 14: End analysis.
[0025] If sensor 14 or sensor 29 in step 11 continuously detects the presence of liquid, check whether peristaltic pump 1 or three-way solenoid valve 21, three-way solenoid valve 26, or normally closed solenoid valve 33 has failed.
[0026] If sensor 14 or sensor 29 in step 12 continues to detect the absence of liquid, check whether peristaltic pump 1 or three-way solenoid valve 6 has failed.
[0027] The calibration steps are as follows: Step 21: Wipe the calibration tube 11 clean and insert it into the standard concentration solution; Step 22: Continuing from the previous state, keep the three-way solenoid valve 1 6 and the three-way solenoid valve 21 energized, and energize the three-way solenoid valve 26 and the normally closed solenoid valve 33 to cut off waste discharge. The peristaltic pump 1 rotates forward to draw out the medicine. After the sensor 1 14 or the sensor 2 19 detects the presence of liquid, delay for T2 seconds and stop the P1 pump (the user sets the time T2 to ensure successful sampling and fresh medicine). De-energize the three-way solenoid valve 26 and the normally closed solenoid valve 33. Step 23: Ion detection sensor 16 measures ion concentration, and the system records the sensor value for calibration. Step 24: Peristaltic pump 1 reverses, sensor 14 or sensor 219 detects no liquid draining from the detection line and peristaltic pump P1 stops, three-way solenoid valve 6 and three-way solenoid valve 21 are de-energized and the standard solution is removed.
[0028] If sensor 14 or sensor 29 in step 22 continuously detects the presence of liquid, check whether peristaltic pump 1 or three-way solenoid valve 21, solenoid valve 26, or normally closed solenoid valve 33 has failed.
[0029] If sensor 14 or sensor 29 in step 24 continuously detects the absence of liquid, check whether peristaltic pump 1 or three-way solenoid valve 21, solenoid valve 26, or normally closed solenoid valve 33 has failed.
