Abstract:
An apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor device may include a mass flow controller configured to control a flow of a process gas supplied to a process chamber, the mass flow controller configured to adjust an outflow rate of the process gas exiting the mass flow controller in response to a correction signal, the correction signal generated based on a difference between an inflow rate of the process gas flowing into the mass flow controller and a reference flow rate, a sensor configured to measure a chamber pressure inside the process chamber, an exhaust valve configured to adjust an exhaust speed of an exhaust gas exhausted from the process chamber; and a monitoring apparatus configured to detect a defect of the mass flow controller based on the correction signal, the chamber pressure, and the exhaust speed of the exhaust valve.

Claim (Index 18):
The monitoring apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein the monitoring apparatus is configured to detect at least one of a defect of a flow sensor or a defect of a valve, the flow sensor provided to the mass flow controller to measure the inflow rate, and the valve provided to the mass flow controller to adjust an outflow rate of the process gas exiting the mass flow controller.
