In the wafer and liquid crystal substrate cleaning process, the high-purity medicine is hydraulically sent to the wafer and liquid crystal substrate cleaning device by pressurizing high-purity gas and flowing it into a pressurized container containing a high-purity chemical liquid. Wait. In such a chemical liquid supply device, it is necessary to stably transport the chemical liquid to the cleaning device. 10 [Prior art] Prior art 15 So far, in the medicinal solution supply device for transporting medicinal solution to the washing device, the medicinal solution is contained in the medicinal solution delivery pipe and pressure feeding connected to the medicinal solution and conveyed toward the washing device. Inside the container with gas piping. The chemical liquid delivery pipe is inserted below the liquid level of the chemical liquid in the device, and the gas delivery piping system is connected so that the gas can be ejected to the upper part of the container. In addition, by supplying the pressure-feed gas to the container, the medicinal solution can be extruded from the container to the medicinal-solution delivery pipe, and can be rotated to the cleaning device. High-purity nitrogen can be used as the pressure-feed gas. One is a general inspection and supply device, which is provided with a container that is thin enough to contain a medicinal solution, and the medicinal solution conveying piping system is connected to each container by an automatic opening and branching. In addition, the gas pipe for pressure feeding is divided between the supply destination and each container, and the gas is supplied to each container through automatic opening. 'Qiao Qiao Kai's automatic 20 1228434 on-off valve connected to the piping of the pressure delivery body and opened the automatic on-off valve of the medicinal-liquid delivery pipe connected to the container. Then, the chemical solution is transferred from a container to the washing device. At this time, the pressure feeding gas piping and the chemical liquid transporting piping connected to another container are closed. 5 — Once the medicinal solution in the container is consumed, the automatic opening and closing valves of the pressure feeding gas piping and the medicinal liquid delivery piping connected to the container will be closed, and the pressure feeding gas piping and medicinal liquid connected to another container will be opened at the same time. Automatic on-off valve for delivery piping. Therefore, the container can be switched and the chemical liquid can be continuously supplied to the cleaning device. In the above-mentioned switching operation of the container, in order to detect the consumption of the medicinal solution 10 in the container, a part of the medicinal solution delivery pipe is formed of a transparent or translucent fluororesin, and is optically detected and sensed. The device detects whether the medicinal solution flows in the pipe. In addition, the output signal of the sensor can be detected based on the medicinal solution, and the operation of the automatic opening and closing valve can be controlled by the control device. 15 The above-mentioned structure for detecting the presence or absence of a medicinal solution in a container with an optical medicinal liquid sensor is disclosed in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-237324). In addition, Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-15082) discloses a structure that calculates a gas flow rate from the atmospheric pressure to a predetermined chemical liquid transport pressure when the chemical liquid starts to be supplied, and calculates The initial volume of the container 20 and the amount of the medicinal solution in the container, and then, when the medicinal solution is supplied, the pressure and flow rate of the pressure-feed gas are accumulated to calculate the medicinal solution delivery amount, and the container is switched before the container is empty. The optical liquid detection sensor detects that the chemical liquid is consumed in the chemical liquid delivery pipe and then switches the container. The pressure delivery gas is mixed into the 1228434 chemical liquid delivery pipe, which changes the chemical liquid delivery pressure. Therefore, it is prone to uneven washing. Since the pressure-feed gas is mixed, the chemical solution is scattered at the chemical solution supply port of the cleaning device. Therefore, there is a risk of damage due to the scattered droplets 5 of the strong acid or strong test solution. To prevent such damage, a cover for preventing scattering must be provided. Furthermore, since a sensor that detects the medicinal solution optically is used, it is necessary to adjust the initial value of the inspection standard in the control device by combining the physical properties and characteristics of the medicated solution. In addition, since the piping of the fluororesin 10 located at the sensor installation position is degraded over time due to the chemical solution, the transparency is reduced, and the chemical solution cannot be detected stably. From the above, it can be seen that in the structure of the container that is switched based on the detection signal of the chemical liquid detection sensor, the chemical liquid cannot be stably supplied, and therefore there is a problem that a stable cleaning performance cannot be obtained in the cleaning device. 15 In the structure disclosed in Patent Document 2, there is no case where the pressure-feed gas is mixed into the medicinal-liquid delivery pipe, so the above-mentioned disadvantages do not occur. However, 'Because each container must have a gas flow detection device and a gas pressure detection device, and the amount of liquid medicine to be transported must be calculated based on the detection signals output from each detection device, the calculation program in the control device becomes Complex 20 miscellaneous. There are also individual differences between the "gas flow detection device and the gas pressure detection device", so there must be an operation to correct this difference, and the correction operation is quite complicated. In addition, 'When the gas pressure in the container where the supply of chemical liquid has stopped being returned to a large 1228434 milk pressure', the gasified chemical liquid remaining in the container will be equipped with a countercurrent main pressure feed gas e until the gas flow detection device and the gas pressure are reached. Until the device is detected, it can cause corrosion or even damage. From the above, it can be seen that in the structure described in Patent Document 2, since the milk flow detection device and the gas pressure detection device are separately installed at 5 ° to increase the cost, the cost of adjustment and maintenance management will also increase. Therefore, the semiconductor or liquid crystal display device manufactured by the liquid supply device has a problem of cost ν. [Summary of the invention] 10 Summary of the invention The object of the present invention is to provide a medicinal solution supply device that can stably supply a medicinal solution and reduce its initial cost and maintenance management cost. The chemical liquid supply device according to the aspect of the present invention is composed of a pressure feeding gas & supply and mouth [sending gas to a pressurized container, and a pre-pressurizing gas piping 15 The pressurized container is supplied with the pressurized gas to the pressurized container from the pressurized gas g after the pressurization, and the pressurization of the pressurized gas is switched according to the detection value of the gas flow meter. container.

In the state where the pressurized containers 2a and 2b are filled with the medicinal solution, first, the automatic opening and closing valve 9a 'is opened and the pressurized gas is supplied to the pressurized container 2a through the preliminary pressurizing gas pipes 8a and 8b, and the pressurized container 2a is Pre-pressurization, at this time, all other 20 automatic on-off valves are closed. After the automatic on-off valve 9a is opened for a predetermined time and the pressurized container 2a is pre-pressurized, the automatic on-off valve 9a is closed, and the automatic on-off valve 7a of the second pressure feeding gas pipe 6b is opened, and then the liquid medicine delivery is started The automatic opening and closing valve 13a of the piping 12a. In this way, the medicinal solution of the pressurized container 2a can be sent to the washing device through the medicinal solution delivery pipe 10 1228434. At this time, the flow rate of the pressure-feed gas supplied to the pressurized container 2a is detected by the gas flow meter 3, and the detected value is output by the control unit 15. The control unit 15 calculates the volume value of the gas that has been pressure-fed to the pressurized container 2a by accumulating the detected value of the gas flow meter 3. This volume value 5 is approximately the same as the amount of the chemical solution fed from the pressurized container 2a to the cleaning device. Simultaneously with the above operation, the automatic on-off valve% of the third preliminary pressurizing gas pipe 8c is opened, and the preliminary pressurizing container 2b is opened. When the volume value that has been pressure-fed into the pressurized container 2a exceeds a preset value, that is, when the amount of the medicinal solution in the pressurized container 2a has fallen below a predetermined amount, 10 the automatic opening and closing valve of the medicinal-solution delivery pipe 12a 13a and the automatic on-off valve of the second pressure feed gas pipe 6b are closed. In addition, 'the automatic on-off valve 7b of the third pressure-feed gas pipe 6c is opened, and the automatic on-off valve 13b of the chemical liquid delivery pipe 12b is opened. In this way, the delivery of the chemical liquid from the pressurized container 2b can be stopped, and then the delivery of the medical liquid from the pressurized container 2b 15 to the washing device can be started. At this time, the automatic opening / closing valve 11a of the atmosphere release pipe 10a is opened, and the pressure in the pressurized container 2a is reduced to atmospheric pressure. Moreover, when the cumulative value detected by the gas flow meter 3 exceeds a predetermined value, the automatic on-off valve 7b of the first pressure-feed gas piping 6c is closed, and the automatic on-off valve 13b of the medicinal fluid delivery 笞 12b is also closed. To stop the delivery of the medicinal solution from the pressurized container 202b to the washing device. At this time, is the automatic on-off valve lib 'of the atmosphere opening pipe 10b opened to reduce the pressure in the pressurized volume II 2b to the atmosphere. With this reverse valve 5a, the vaporized chemical liquid does not flow back to the gas purification filters 4a, 4b and the gas flow meter 3. In the structure formed as described above, the following effects can be obtained: 11 1228434 Fruit 0 (1) Before switching the pressurized containers 2a and 2b, the pressurized gas can be switched from Container 2 & switches to pressurized container 21). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the pressurized gas from being mixed into the medicinal solution supply pipe 14, so that it is possible to prevent the medicinal solution from being scattered in the cleaning device and uneven washing. (2) Since no sensor for optically detecting the medicinal solution is used, it is not necessary to match the physical properties and characteristics of the medicinal solution being conveyed to adjust the initial value of the detection standard of the control unit 15. (3) The amount of chemical liquid supplied to the cleaning device can be detected only by the gas flow meter 3 by pre-pressurizing the pressure vessels 10 2a and 2b. Therefore, the program for calculating the amount of the medicinal solution to be transported in the control unit 15 can be simplified. (4) Since only one gas flow meter 3 is used, there is almost no need to correct the detection value of the gas flow meter 3. (5) With the check valves 5a and 5b, the gaseous chemical liquid in the pressurized containers 2a and 2b can be prevented from flowing back to the gas purification filters 4a and 4b or the gas flow meter 3. Therefore, it is possible to prevent deterioration of the gas purification filters 4a, 4b or the gas flow meter 3. (6) The above-mentioned effects (3), (4), and (5) can reduce the initial cost and maintenance cost of the chemical liquid supply device. 20 The above implementation modes can be changed in the following ways. The same can be applied even if there are three or more pressurized containers. Effects of the Invention As described in detail above, the present invention can provide a medicinal solution supply device that can stably supply a medicinal solution 'and reduce its initial cost and maintenance management cost. 12 1228434 c Brief description of the diagram 3 Figure 1 shows the structure of the medicinal solution supply device.
