- the tank pressurizing gas is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use an inert gas, nitrogen gas, which can be used relatively easily.
- an inert gas nitrogen gas
- the tank pressurizing gas should be avoided. For this reason, even when an inert gas such as nitrogen is used, it may be affected by oxygen contained as an impurity, so that it is necessary to sufficiently consider its purity.
- the second liquid is alternately supplied from the two tanks 12a and 12b to the first pipe 11 during the normal operation in which the diluent is manufactured.

The second liquid is supplied from. This switching operation will be described later.
- the supply of the second liquid to the first pipe 11 is performed through one of the plurality of second pipes 13, but the plurality of second pipes 13 are connected to the second pipe 13.
- the plurality of second pipes 13 have at least one of an inner diameter and a length that allow the second liquid to pass at different flow rates even when the pressure in each of the tanks 12a and 12b is constant, for example. Configured differently. The configuration of these second pipes 13 will also be described later.
- the diluent manufacturing apparatus 10 has a control unit 20 that controls various operation operations of the diluent manufacturing apparatus 10.
- the control unit 20 is based on at least the measurement results of the flow rate measurement unit 21 that measures the flow rate of the first liquid flowing in the first pipe 11 and the concentration measurement unit 22 that measures the concentration of the diluent.
- the amount of the second liquid added to the first liquid by the pressure adjusting unit 18 can be adjusted so that the concentration of the diluted liquid becomes a predetermined concentration.
- a method for adjusting the amount of addition of the second liquid by the control unit 20 will be described. Before that, Hagen-Poiseuille's law, which is the basis for adjusting the amount of addition, will be briefly described.
- Hagen-Poiseuille's law is a law related to the loss head of laminar flow in a circular pipe.
- the inner diameter of the pipe is D [m]
- the length of the pipe is L [m]
- the pressure gradient at both ends of the pipe is ⁇ P.
- [Pa] the viscosity coefficient of the liquid is ⁇ [Pa ⁇ s]
- the flow rate of the liquid flowing in the pipe is Q [m 3 / s]
- Q ( ⁇ ⁇ D 4 ⁇ ⁇ P) / (128 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ L) It is expressed by the relationship.
- the flow rate Q of the liquid flowing through the circular tube is proportional to the fourth power of the inner diameter D of the circular tube and the pressure gradient ⁇ P at both ends, and the length L of the circular tube and the viscosity of the liquid It is inversely proportional to the coefficient ⁇ .
- Hagen-Poiseuille's law is applied to the supply of the second liquid through each second pipe.
- the length L and the inner diameter D of each of the second pipes are fixed values. If the type of the second liquid is determined, the viscosity coefficient ⁇ is also a fixed value. Therefore, it is possible to proportionally control the flow rate Q in each second pipe only by controlling the pressure in the tank corresponding to the pressure gradient ⁇ P between both ends of each second pipe.
- the target value of the concentration of the diluted liquid to be manufactured is set, and the amount of the second liquid added is calculated with respect to the set target concentration.
- the flow rate of the first liquid is measured by the flow rate measuring means 21, and the target addition amount of the second liquid for achieving the target concentration is calculated.
- one second pipe 13 to be used is determined for the calculated target addition amount, and the target addition is performed on the determined second pipe 13.
- a target value of the pressure in the first tank 12a for realizing the amount (flow rate) is calculated.
- the pressure adjusting unit 18 adjusts the pressure in the first tank 12a to the calculated target pressure, so that the first tank 12a
- the second liquid is added to the first liquid in the first pipe 11 through the second pipe 13 in a predetermined addition amount.
- the flow rate Q of the second liquid flowing through the second pipe 13 is proportional to the pressure gradient ⁇ P at both ends of the second pipe 13. Therefore, for example, when the flow rate of the first liquid changes, the pressure in the first tank 12a is changed so that the pressure gradient ⁇ P is proportional to the change by a certain proportional constant.
- the pressure gradient ⁇ P is halved and the flow rate of the second liquid is also halved.
- the concentration of the second liquid itself may not be constant due to volatilization or decomposition of the second liquid in the first tank 12a.
- the concentration of the diluted solution to be manufactured is initially adjusted within a predetermined concentration range including the target concentration, there is a possibility that it gradually deviates from the concentration range. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the concentration of the diluent is measured by the concentration measuring means 22 and the measured concentration of the diluent is out of the predetermined concentration range, the concentration of the diluent falls within the predetermined concentration range.
- the proportionality constant described above is modified to fit.
- the proportionality constant can be automatically changed to an optimum value even when the apparatus is initially operated or when the target value of the concentration of the diluent is changed. As a result, a diluted solution adjusted to a predetermined concentration can be stably produced.
- the configuration of the flow rate measuring means 21 is not particularly limited, and for example, a Karman vortex flow meter or an ultrasonic flow meter can be used. Moreover, the flow rate measuring means 21 should just be installed in the position which can monitor the flow volume fluctuation
- the flow rate measuring means 21 is provided on the upstream side of the connection portion of the first pipe 11 with the plurality of second pipes 13, but on the downstream side of the connection portion. The flow rate of the diluent flowing through the first pipe 11 may be measured. This is because the supply amount (flow rate) of the second liquid is much smaller than the flow rate of the first liquid, and the flow rate of the diluent can be handled equivalently to the flow rate of the first liquid.
- the concentration measuring means 22 is not particularly limited as long as it can measure the concentration of the diluent as an electrochemical constant.
- an electric conductivity meter, a pH meter, a specific resistance meter, an ORP meter (an oxidation meter) Reduction electrometer) or an ion electrode meter can be used.
- an electric conductivity meter or a specific resistance meter as the concentration measuring means 22.
- the concentration measuring means 22 is installed on the downstream side of the connection portion of the first pipe 11 with the plurality of second pipes 13. At this installation position, the first pipe 11 is provided. It may be directly attached to, or may be attached to a bypass pipe provided in parallel with the first pipe 11.
- the accuracy of the second liquid supply amount (flow rate Q) is greatly influenced by the pressure gradient ⁇ P at both ends of the second pipe 13. Therefore, when the pressure at the connection portion between the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 13 fluctuates greatly, it becomes difficult to stably manufacture a diluent adjusted to a predetermined concentration.
- a pressure measuring means 23 for measuring the pressure in the first pipe 11 is provided. Therefore, the control unit 20 sets the target of the pressure in the first tank 12a for setting the concentration of the diluent to the target concentration based on the measurement results of the flow rate measuring unit 21, the concentration measuring unit 22, and the pressure measuring unit 23.
- the value is calculated and the amount of addition of the second liquid is adjusted.
- the configuration of the pressure measurement means 23 is not particularly limited, and in the illustrated embodiment, the installation position is also upstream of the connection portion with the plurality of second pipes 13. If it can be measured, it may be downstream from the connecting portion.
- the flow rate Q of the second liquid flowing in the second pipe 13 is proportional to the pressure gradient ⁇ P at both ends of the second pipe 13. Therefore, if this pressure gradient ⁇ P can be changed greatly, a wide supply amount (flow rate) of the second liquid can be realized and a wide concentration range can be dealt with.
- a wide supply amount (flow rate) of the second liquid can be realized and a wide concentration range can be dealt with.
- the pressure gradient ⁇ P since there is an upper limit to the pressure applied to each of the tanks 12a and 12b, it is difficult to greatly change the pressure gradient ⁇ P, and the adjustment range of the amount of addition of the second liquid is also limited.
- the flow rate Q of the second liquid is also proportional to the inner diameter D (the fourth power) of the second pipe 13 and inversely proportional to its length L.
- the plurality of second pipes 13 are configured such that at least one of the inner diameter and the length is different from each other. Has been. That is, the plurality of second pipes 13 are different from each other in at least one of the inner diameter and the length. For example, even if the pressure in each of the tanks 12a and 12b is constant, the second pipes 13 pass the second liquid at different flow rates. It is configured to let you. Thereby, it becomes possible to widen the adjustment range of the addition amount of the second liquid as the whole apparatus, and it becomes possible to manufacture a dilute solution having a wide concentration range.
- the inner diameters of the individual second pipes 13 are not limited to specific dimensions, but in order to more precisely control the concentration of the diluent to be produced, the inner diameters of the respective second pipes 13 are It is preferably more than 0.1 mm and 4 mm or less, more preferably more than 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm or less. This is because the flow of the second liquid in the second pipe 13 tends to be a laminar flow (regular and orderly flow). That is, when the flow in the pipe becomes a turbulent flow (irregular flow), the Hagen-Poiseuille law described above does not hold, and the flow rate Q of the second liquid flowing in the second pipe is changed to the both ends of the second pipe.
- each second pipe 13 has a laminar flow of the second liquid flowing in the pipe.
- each second pipe 13 is not limited to a specific dimension. However, if the length is too short, the flow rate in the pipe is likely to be affected, and the liquid flow rate is reduced at both ends of the pipe. Proportional control with a pressure gradient becomes difficult. If the length is too long, it is difficult to install the pipe, and the contact area between the pipe and the liquid is increased, which may increase the contamination of the liquid in the pipe. Therefore, the length of each second pipe 13 is preferably in the range of 0.01 m to 100 m, and more preferably in the range of 0.1 m to 10 m.
- the second pipe 13 having an inner diameter of 0.1 mm or less or a length exceeding 100 m depends on the combination, but the resistance when the second liquid flows through the pipe 13 is likely to increase. That is, the pressure in the tank tends to be high. Therefore, such an inner diameter and length are not preferable because it is difficult to select components (piping, valves, etc.) constituting the apparatus from the viewpoint of pressure resistance.
- the second pipe 13 having an inner diameter of more than 4 mm or a length of less than 0.01 m tends to reduce the resistance when the second liquid flows through the pipe 13 depending on the combination. That is, the flow rate of the second liquid is easily changed by a slight change in the pressure in the tank. Therefore, such an inner diameter and length are not preferable because it is difficult to control the pressure in the tank.
- the material and shape of the second pipe 13 are not particularly limited, but a resin-made flexible tube is preferably used.
- resins include fluororesins such as PFA and ETFE, polyethylene resins, polypropylene resins, and the like, and when the diluted solution produced is used for cleaning or rinsing semiconductor wafers, there is little elution. A fluororesin is particularly preferred.
- the second liquid is a volatile liquid
- the second pipe 13 has gas permeability in order to suppress the concentration fluctuation of the liquid due to the liquid in the tube volatilizing and diffusing outside. It is preferable to use a low one.
- oxygen contained in the diluent may have an adverse effect depending on the intended use of the diluent to be produced. Therefore, oxygen in the air moves from the outside of the second pipe 13 to the inside. It is also preferable in that it can suppress diffusion and suppress an increase in dissolved oxygen concentration in the second liquid.
- the method of connecting the second pipe 13 to the first pipe 11 is not particularly limited as long as the first liquid and the second liquid are appropriately mixed.
- the second pipe 13 is preferably connected to the first pipe 11 such that the tip thereof is located at the center of the first pipe 11, thereby efficiently connecting the first liquid and the first pipe 11.
- the second liquid can be mixed.
- the plurality of second pipes 13 are preferably individually connected to the first pipe 11 in that the structure is simple and the liquid pool is small.
- the four second pipes 13 are provided, but the number of the second pipes 13 is not limited to four, depending on the required concentration range of the diluent, For example, it can be appropriately changed to two, three, or five or more. Accordingly, the combination of the inner diameter and the length is not limited to a specific combination and can be appropriately changed. As a combination of the inner diameter and the length, only one of them may be different. In this case, as described above, since there is an upper limit to the pressure applied to each of the tanks 12a and 12b, the inner diameters are different from each other in that the adjustment range of the amount of addition of the second liquid can be further expanded. A combination is preferred.
- the length L affects the flow rate Q of the second liquid flowing through the second pipe 13, while the inner diameter D affects the fourth power. It is clear from what to do.
- the second liquid is supplied to the first pipe 11 through one of the plurality of second pipes 13, but depending on the required concentration range of the diluent, a plurality of the second liquids may be supplied. Of these second pipes 13, two or more second pipes 13 may be used.
- the first supply mode in which the second liquid is supplied from the first tank 12a to the first pipe 11 during the normal operation in which the dilution liquid is manufactured, and the second Switching to the second supply mode in which the second liquid is supplied from the tank 12b to the first pipe 11 is performed.
- this switching operation will be described by taking as an example a case where switching from the first supply mode to the second supply mode is performed.
- the valve 19a for connecting the tank pressurizing gas supply line 18a and the first tank 12a is opened, so that the tank pressurizing gas is supplied to the first tank 12a through the tank pressurizing gas supply line 18a.

- the second liquid in the first tank 12 a is added to the first liquid in the first pipe 11 in a predetermined addition amount through the designated second pipe 13.
- valve 19b for connecting the tank pressurization gas supply line 18a and the second tank 12b, a valve 16a for the chemical supply line 16, and the chemical supply line 16 and the first tank 12a 15b, the valve 15b between the chemical solution supply line 16 and the second tank 12b, the atmosphere release valve 17a of the first tank 12a, and the atmosphere release valve 17b of the second tank 12b are all closed. It is in the state that was done. Further, the second tank 12b is in a standby state in which a small amount of the second liquid is stored.
- the valve 16a of the chemical liquid supply line 16 is The air release valve 17b of the second tank 12b is opened. Subsequently, the valve 15b between the chemical liquid supply line 16 and the second tank 12b is opened, and the second liquid is supplied to the second tank 12b through the chemical liquid supply line 16 and stored.
- the valve 16a of the chemical liquid supply line 16, the air release valve 17b of the second tank 12b, and the chemical liquid supply line 16 and the second tank Valve 15b between 12b is closed.
- the valve 19b connecting the tank pressurization gas supply line 18a and the second tank 12b is opened, and the tank pressurization gas is introduced into the second tank 12b through the tank pressurization gas supply line 18a.
- the measured value by the pressure gauge 19c is adjusted to the target pressure by the air supply / exhaust mechanism 18b. That is, the pressure in the second tank 12b is adjusted to the target pressure while maintaining the state in which the pressure in the first tank 12a is adjusted to the target pressure.
- the valve 14b connecting the second tank 12b and the second pipe 13 is opened, and then the first tank 12a and the second pipe are connected. 13 is closed.
- the supply mode is changed from the first supply mode in which the second liquid is supplied from the first tank 12a to the second supply mode in which the supply of the second liquid is supplied from the second tank 12b.

- the atmosphere release valve 17b when the second tank 12b is in a standby state, the atmosphere release valve 17b is closed. This is to suppress the entry of oxygen into the second tank 12b and to suppress the dissolution of oxygen into the second liquid when the second liquid is replenished to the second tank 12b thereafter. However, if the dissolution of oxygen into the second liquid in the second tank 12b is not a problem, the atmosphere release valve 17b may not be closed. In addition, when replenishing the second liquid to the second tank 12b to the extent that the gas component in the tank is exhausted, the air in the tank is exhausted from the atmosphere release valve 17b, whereby the second liquid is discharged. Since the dissolution of oxygen into the liquid can be reduced, the atmosphere release valve 17b may be in either an open state or a closed state.
- the replenishment of the second liquid to the second tank 12b is performed just before the end of the first supply mode, but the replenishment timing is not limited to this.
- the second liquid can be replenished at an arbitrary timing in the first supply mode, such as immediately after switching to the first supply mode.
- the atmosphere release valve 17b is preferably kept closed after the second liquid is replenished in order to suppress volatilization of the second liquid.
- the switching from the first supply mode to the second supply mode is preferably started before the first tank 12a is emptied, as described above.

- a transition to a standby mode in which the production of the diluted solution is temporarily stopped may occur.
- the pressure in the first tank 12a that has been adjusted to the target pressure is preferably returned to the atmospheric pressure in consideration of safety. Conceivable.
- depressurization to atmospheric pressure is actually not preferable in the following points.
- the pressure in the first tank 12a is maintained and adjusted to a pressure exceeding the atmospheric pressure.
- the atmospheric pressure Preferably it is.
- the pressure in the first tank 12a in the standby mode is large in order to suppress the volatilization of the second liquid and suppress the concentration fluctuation. It is preferably higher than atmospheric pressure and higher than the saturated vapor pressure of the second liquid.
- the tank pressurizing gas may be dissolved in the second liquid during normal operation. Therefore, in such a case, the pressure in the first tank 12a in the standby mode takes into account the solubility of the tank pressurizing gas in the second liquid in addition to the saturated vapor pressure of the second liquid. Preferably it is determined. On the other hand, since the good addition amount adjustment can be resumed more quickly after the normal operation is resumed, the pressure in the first tank 12a is adjusted to the target pressure as in the first supply mode even in the standby mode. May be maintained. Such adjustment is particularly suitable when the second liquid is water in which an electrolyte or gas such as carbonated water or hydrogen water is dissolved. *
