Abstract:
A pressure booster for amplifying a water pressure that is supplied by a water facility, the pressure booster is configured to be connected between the water facility and one or more semiconductor substrate cleaning systems, the pressure booster comprising:a pump having a pump input that connects to the water facility and a pump output that is configured to produce a fluctuating amplified water pressure that is greater than the water pressure that is supplied by the water facility; a pressure dampener having a dampener input for accepting the fluctuating amplified water pressure from the pump output, the pressure dampener being configured to partially reduce pressure fluctuations in the fluctuating amplified water pressure, the pressure dampener further having a dampener output; a pressure regulator having a regulator input for receiving the dampener output, the pressure regulator further having a regulator output that is configured to supply an amplified water pressure having a substantially reduced pressure fluctuation; and an adjustment control connected to the pressure regulator.
