Abstract(in English) Metal organic (MO) gases are used in electronic device manufacturing processes such as semiconductors, power devices, LEDs, displays. It is usually controlled by in-line gas concentration sensor in the concentration control of the supply gas. However, due to the advancement of manufacturing process, a gas concentration sensor capable of monitoring a wide range of concentration measurements in real time with high sensitivity and high accuracy is required. Until now, gas concentration sensor of the ultrasonic method and the near infrared absorption method have been used, but there are some issues with versatility and sensitivity. In our research, based on the light absorption characteristics of MO gases in the ultraviolet light region of 400 nm or less in wavelength, we investigated concentration measurement by ultraviolet absorbance measurement method. A prototype compact unit that adopts a high seal gas cell was manufactured, and a detection circuit section was made by adopting a charge amplifier method that can measure high sensitivity, rather than a transimpedance amplifier method that is usually used for the detection circuit section. In the evaluation by the commonly used metal organic gas material. Compared to the ultrasonic method and the near infrared absorbance measurement method, it was demonstrated that the developed sensor is compact, and it has high sensitivity and real-time concentration measurement capability with response time of less than 1 sec.
