The partition wall surface 34 is supported by a sliding support member 42, for example, including a 0-ring and a piston ring. In this manner, the wall surface can slide along the inner surface of the container 32. In other words, the partition wall surface 34 can continuously equalize the pressure in the feed compartment 36 and the pressure in the recovery compartment 38. The feed compartment 36 is connected to the lower nozzle 22 of the manifold 2 through a feed conduit 44 equipped with a valve vii.

Description of the invention) Connected to the pipe fittings corresponding to the purification device 30. A flange F13 is installed at the end of the gas introduction duct 52, resulting in a flange that is detachably engaged with the outlet nozzle 56. An exhaust duct 62 is connected to the return duct 46 between the valve V12 and the flange F12 to complete the vacuum exhaust. This exhaust duct 62 is connected to a sucUon nozzle 66 of a vacuum exhaust source 64, which includes a vacuum pump and is mounted on one side of the unit equipment, which includes a semiconductor processing system. A flange-equipped valve V22 is mounted on the suction nozzle 66, so that the purification device 30 is detachably engaged with the corresponding pipe. A flange F14 is installed at the end of the exhaust duct 62 and is detachably connected to the flange of the suction nozzle 66. As will be explained below, the exhaust duct 62 may be connected to the feed duct 44 between the valve VII and the flange F11 instead of the return duct 46. A ventilation mechanism 72 includes a ventilation duct 74 equipped with a valve V13, which is connected to the top of the container 32, that is, to the recovery compartment 38. If necessary, this ventilation duct 74 is connected to a suitable solvent recovery element (not shown). In addition, the ventilation mechanism 72 may be connected to the recovery duct 46 located between the recovery compartment 38 and the flange F12, instead of being connected to the recovery compartment 38 °. An embodiment of the method for purifying the interior of the manifold 12 The explanation is as follows; this embodiment is performed using the purification device depicted in FIG. 1. Figure 7 contains a series of flowcharts for this purification method. During the operation of the semiconductor processing system including the manifold 12, the purification device 30 may be disconnected from the manifold 12 or may be connected to the manifold 12 (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) · Order · • Line. This paper is suitable for Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 521006 B7 5. The description of the invention (| 〇) is sad, but it is in an idle mode. The operation of the semiconductor programming system is stopped when subsequent maintenance or reagent replacement or modification is required to purify the inside of the manifold 12. In other words, the feeding of chemical reagents (programming liquid) from the storage tank 16 is stopped in the programming compartment. The program in 20 is terminated, and then the purification device 30 is used. When the purification device 30 starts to be used, essentially only the new purification fluid, that is, the solvent is contained in the container 32. The feed compartment 36 is therefore full and the return compartment 38 is empty. The slidable partition wall surface 34 is thus raised to its uppermost position Tp, as shown by the dashed line in FIG. 1 (Bp represents the bottommost position of the partition wall surface 34 in FIG. 1). This state is indicated as the start state, and the purification process according to the following results is explained. In the explanation, it is assumed that all the valves VI to V22 are set in the ~ closed position to start in accordance with its operation. The manifold 12 is first cleared (procedure S1). This procedure is achieved by cutting valves VI, V3, and V21 into their open positions (valve V2 closed). In this architecture, pressurized gas is introduced into the manifold 12 from a pressurized gas source 54 through a gas introduction duct 52 and a feed duct 44. Utilizing the pressure of the pressurized gas, the chemical reagent (treatment liquid) in the manifold 12 is thus returned to the tank 16 or transferred to an appropriate processing liquid recovery element (not shown) through a drain pipe located near the storage tank 16. Once the manifold 12 is closed by the vacuum valve VI, the back-tr * anSport of the processing liquid is then completed. The inside of the container 32 is then pressurized (procedure S2). This procedure cuts the valves V3, V4, V12, and V21 into their open positions.

Description of the invention ((丨) (valve VII closed) to achieve. In this architecture, the pressurized gas system from the pressurized gas source 54 through the gas introduction conduit 52, into The feed conduit 44, the manifold 12, and the return conduit 46 are introduced into the return compartment 38. This action pressurizes the inside of the container 32 from the side of the return compartment 38 using the pressure of a pressurized gas. Once the inside of the container 32 is raised to After the desired target pressure, the valves V12 and V21 are closed, so the internal pressure of the container 32 is stopped. Since the partition wall 34 can slide in response to the pressure, the pressure in the feed compartment 36 and the recovery compartment during the pressurization process The pressure in the chamber 38 is equal. Since the pressure of the container 32 is achieved through the manifold 12, the pressure in the manifold 12 is also equal to the pressure in the pressure container 32. The inside of the manifold 12 is then decompressed (procedure S3). The program is to cut in the valves V3, V4, and V22. The open position (valves VII and V12 are closed) is achieved. In this architecture, the inside of the manifold 12 is evacuated by a vacuum exhaust source 64 through an exhaust duct 62 and a return duct 46. This action is used to reduce The pressure in the manifold 12 'The manifold was previously equal to the pressure in the container 32, and a sufficient pressure difference was generated between the inside of the container 32 and the inside of the manifold 12. Once the inside of the manifold 12 was cleared to reach the target After pressure is applied, valves V4 and V22 are closed, thus depressurizing the internal pressure of manifold 12. New solvent is then introduced into manifold 12 (procedure S4). This procedure cuts valves V3 and VII into their open positions (valve V4 is closed ), Thus creating a connection between the interior of the feed compartment 36 and the interior of the manifold I2. Based on the pressure difference between the interior of the container 32 and the interior of the manifold 12, a new solvent is thus passed from the feed compartment 36 through the feed conduit 44 was transmitted to the ambiguity (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Order --------- line | This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) A7 521006 B7_; __ 5.

The inside of the manifold 12 is then used to represent the period when the solvent is full in order to allow the solvent to decompose the manifold Residues in 12. In other words, after the solvent recovery process, it does not start until a prescribed processing time has elapsed. The inside of the container 32 is then decompressed (procedure S5). In this process, the valve V13 in the ventilation mechanism 72 is opened. (Valves VII and V12 are closed), and the pressure in the container 32 is released through the ventilation duct 74. This action is used to reduce the pressure inside the container 32 'at this time, and the pressure inside the container is still quite high, thereby improving the operation efficiency in the subsequent solvent recovery process. Once the inside of the container 32 is depressurized to a prescribed target pressure, the valve V13 may also be closed or may remain open during the next procedure of solvent recovery. The pressure of the container 32 may also be released during the time period when the inside of the manifold 12 is filled with the solvent. On the other hand, a vacuum exhaust source 64 may be used to release the pressure of the container 32 instead of using the ventilation mechanism 72. In another option, 'if the pressure in the container 32 is low enough to complete the feed of the solvent to the manifold 12,' there is no need to release the pressure in the container 32. The waste solvent is then returned to the container 32 (procedure S6). In this procedure, the valves V3, V4, V12, and V2 are switched into their open positions (valve VII is closed), thereby communicating between the interior of the compartment 38 and the interior of the manifold 12. In this architecture, a pressurized gas system is introduced from a pressurized gas source 54 into a permeate gas introduction conduit 52 and a feed conduit 44 into the manifold 12. This action uses the pressure of pressurized gas to pass through the inside of the manifold 12 _15 __---- This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the note on the back first Please fill in this page again for matters) Order: —line. 521006 A7 ~ ~ ----------—--------——___ V.

When the valve bucket vl3 on the ventilation mechanism 72 remains open, excess pressurized gas can be discharged through the ventilation duct 74. Once the interior of the manifold 12 is emptied, the solvent is returned to the container 32. It is then decided whether to repeat the purification (procedure S7). When the inside of the manifold 12 is not re-purified, once the inside of the manifold 12 is cleared, the valves V3, V4, V12, and V21 are closed, and the purification process in the manifold 12 is stopped. In contrast, when the inside of the manifold π needs to be purified again, the operation returns to the routine S2. To repeat the purification, when the waste solvent recovery program S6 is stopped, the valves V3, V4, V12, and V21 are not closed; instead, these valves remain open (valve VII is closed) and continue to introduce pressurized gas. However, the valve V13 in the ventilation mechanism 72 must be closed at this time. This architecture uses the pressure of the pressurized gas from the side of the recovery compartment 38 to cause pressure inside the container 32. According to the procedures S2 to S7 already explained above, the operation is continued. By repeating the sequence of the procedures S2 to S7 any number of times, the purification process in the manifold 12 can be performed as many times as necessary.
