Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for delivering a process gas to a processing chamber are provided. A mass flow controller includes a first flow line for introducing a process fluid and an inlet valve disposed along the first flow line for controlling a flow rate of the process fluid. The mass flow controller includes a second flow line for introducing a carrier fluid into the mass flow controller and a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) Coriolis sensor for providing a density signal and a mass flow rate signal for a mixture of the process fluid and the carrier fluid. The mass flow controller provided includes an outlet valve for controlling a mass flow rate of the mixture that is output by the mass flow controller as well as a controller for operating the inlet valve based on the density signal and for operating the outlet valve based on the mass flow rate signal.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein said adjusting the flow rate of the process fluid reduces the flow rate of the process fluid when the fluid mix ratio indicates that a ratio of process fluid to carrier fluid is greater than a desired ratio, and wherein said adjusting the flow rate of the process fluid increases the flow rate of the process fluid when the fluid mix ratio indicates that the ratio of process fluid to carrier fluid is less than the desired ratio.
