Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is one of the main technologies used to smooth and polish the surface of silicon wafers. Typically, this process involves mixing deionized water, CMP slurry (colloidal silicon or alumina liquid dispersions), and hydrogen peroxide (a strong oxidizing agent) in specific concentrations and ratios. Since hydrogen peroxide degrades over time, it is necessary to continuously monitor its concentration online to efficiently repeat the CMP process. By ensuring that the CMP slurry is always within specifications and adjusting the mixture as needed, the yield of the product can be controlled.

Heavy metals, especially cadmium and lead, are extremely harmful to the human body. They can pass through the blood-brain barrier and cause significant damage to the brain and kidneys. Cases of chronic poisoning due to these heavy metals have been frequently reported. Therefore, it is crucial to control the levels of cadmium and lead in drinking water. In many countries (such as CH [1], EU [2], USA [3]), the maximum allowable concentration of cadmium in drinking water is set at 3–5 μg/L, while for lead, it ranges from 5 μg/L [4] to 15 μg/L [3]. The concentrations of these trace elements can be reliably measured using the methods described in this technical document.

This explains the chelate titration of metal ions and potentiometric titration. A copper ion-selective electrode is used to detect the endpoint of the titration. Since the electrode does not respond directly to the chelating agent, a corresponding copper complex is added to the solution.

Acid copper plating baths are mainly used for Cu film formation on semiconductor wafers. When a small amount of chloride is present, the film formation rate increases, and anode polarization is suppressed. However, if the concentration becomes too high, the quality of Cu film formation deteriorates, which is undesirable. Therefore, monitoring the concentration of chloride ions is extremely important for efficiently achieving high-quality Cu film formation. Plating bath, electroplating bath.

In ion chromatography with a conductivity detector and suppressor, it is often the case that the calibration curve is not actually linear. Particularly when the calibration curve needs to cover a wide concentration range, applying multiple calibration curves for different concentration ranges results in more accurate measurement results. By using MagIC Net software, multiple calibration curves can be created in a single measurement. This means that the optimal calibration curve for all ions is applied, improving the accuracy of the measurement results. This method can be applied to environmental waters such as tap water, seawater, and rainwater.
