The present invention relates to chemical delivery systems and methods for delivery of liquid chemicals. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to systems having multi-reservoir load cell assemblies for delivering chemicals used in the semiconductor industry. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a multi-reservoir load cell assembly, including a controller, a buffer reservoir, a main reservoir, one or more load cells, coupled to the assembly and to the controller, operable to weigh the liquid in the reservoir(s), a plurality of supply lines, each supply line having a valve and connecting one of the supply containers to the main reservoir, and a gas and vacuum sources for withdrawing the liquid from the assembly when demanded by the controller and for refilling the assembly from the supply containers.
A method of liquid chemical delivery in a system comprising a multi-reservoir load cell assembly, including a main reservoir, a buffer reservoir, at least one load cell, and a logic device which triggers a refill sequence, comprising:
A method of mixing a first liquid chemical with a second liquid chemical and delivering the mixture in a system comprising a multi-reservoir load cell assembly, including a main reservoir, a buffer reservoir, and a load cell, comprising:
A method of precise non-pulsed liquid chemical delivery in a system comprising a multi-reservoir load cell assembly, including a main reservoir, a buffer reservoir, a load cell, comprising:
