A method for continuous measurement of particle and particle precursor material in high purity liquids using aerosolization and condensation particle courting (A+CPC) is presented. A process for correlating wafter defects with the concentration values measured using A+CPC using Sequential Spin Coating + Surface Enhanced Particle Sizing (SSC + SEPS) is described. The method was applied to monitor the rinsate of an ion exchange resin following the SEMI C93 guide. The results showed correlation between the methods and the concentration values were used to calculate a deposition factor (liquid concentration/surface concentration) on the order of 1E5 (#/ml)/(#/cm 2 ).
