Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus for generating electrolyzed ionic water is to provide a cleaning process not affected by metal ions inherent in the electrolyzed ionic water, by installing a detector for detecting the density of metal ions and a controller for preventing the electrolyzed ionic water from being supplied to a cleaning apparatus when the density of the metal ions exceeds a predetermined quantity. CONSTITUTION: The apparatus for generating electrolyzed ionic water individually generates and exhausts reductive electrolyzed ionic water and oxidative electrolyzed ionic water. A withdrawing part(210) withdraws a part of the electrolyzed ionic water exhausted from the electrolyzed ionic water generating apparatus and sends the electrolyzed ionic water to the detector(216). The detector detects the density of the metal ions inherent in the electrolyzed ionic water withdrawn from the withdrawing part. The controller(220) stops generation of the electrolyzed ionic water or prevents the electrolyzed ionic water from being supplied to the cleaning apparatus(214), connected to the detector.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A wet etch process for fabricating a semiconductor using anode water including an oxide or cathode water including a reductant and anode water and cathode water used for the same are provided to produce anode water including an oxide and cathode water including a reductant by using the small amount of electrolyte. CONSTITUTION: An electrolytic device(1) has an anode room(30), a cathode room(40), and an intermediate room(50). The anode room(30), the cathode room(40), and the intermediate room(50) are separated by ion-exchange films(10,20). The ion-exchange film(10) is installed in the anode room(30). The ion-exchange film(10) is formed with a negative ion-exchange film(10a) and a fluoric positive ion-exchange film(10b). The ion-exchange film(20) is installed in the cathode room(40). The ion-exchange film(20) is formed with a positive ion-exchange film(20a) and a negative ion-exchange film(20b). Pin holes are formed uniformly on the fluoric positive ion-exchange film(10b) and the negative ion-exchange film(20b). An anode electrode(60) and a cathode electrode(70) are installed in the cathode room(40). Ionized water is supplied to the anode room(30) and the cathode room(40) through the first and the second injection tubes(80,90). An electrolyte is supplied to the intermediate room(50) through the third injection tube(100). Anode water including an oxide is supplied to the first wet process device(150). Cathode water including a reductant is supplied to the second wet process device(160).
