ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for monitoring process fluids used in the manufacture of semiconductor components and other microelectronic devices relies upon detection of the phase shift of a pair of optical energy beams encountering a bubble or particle in the fluid. The system distinguishes between bubbles and particles having indices of refraction greater than the surrounding fluid and between different types and sizes of particles.
