Conditions of measurement
1) Measurement interval: approx. 8 sec.
2) Moving average time :10 times
3) Atmospheric temperature, chemical temperature fluctuation: within +/- 1 degree C (period of time: 1hour). Sudden temperature change should be avoided
4) Condition of sample temperature: 20 to 30 degree C

  • Repeatability is the maximum deviation from average measured value over a 1 hour continuous measurement period.
  • The values in the above table are assigned analog output values between 4 - 20 mA. (makimum resistance of 500Ω)

Industrial In-line and Multi Component Monitor Using Absorption Spectroscopy and Its Application (1.6MB)

Abstract
"Chemical concentration monitor, HORIBA CS series, is widely used in semiconductor wet process. Its measurement principle, Ultra Violet (UV) and Near Infrared (NIR) absorption spectroscopy, enables in-line and real-time monitoring for multiple component chemistry. Measuring various kinds of samples is achieved, such as Fe ion concentration in HCl, more than 5 component chemistry including by-product from etching, to H2O2 in CMP slurry. In this paper, measurement results for those samples are introduced."
