If further specifically describe, then as shown in Figures 2 and 3, air adjustment part 11 is divided into warm-air supply parts 14, ventilating duct 17 and machine chamber 18 substantially.Warm-air supply parts 14 have: the heating function that air etc. is heated and the air of heating etc. is sent to air-supply function in the thermal chamber 12.In addition, the boundary member of warm-air supply parts 14 and thermal chamber 12 is provided with the filter 21 that is used to purify air etc.
Near warm-air supply parts 14,, has air interflow portion 16,16 in the front of thermal chamber 12 side and the back side one side. Air interflow portion 16,16 is communicated with ventilating duct 17 respectively.Air interflow portion 16 has the air that will import from outdoor gas introduction port (not shown) and the gas that flows into from ventilating duct 17 collaborate, as the function in the premixed space that is used to mix these gases.
Ventilating duct 17 is the spaces that form along the catalysis wall 40 of the most of downstream wall 20b that forms thermal chamber 12 (generating the gas Knock-Down Component) and spaced walls 41,43.Ventilating duct 17 is the air flow circuits that dispose in the mode on every side of surrounding thermal chamber 12,, formed and made the air flow circuit that turns back to air interflow portion 16 from the air of thermal chamber 12 discharges.
Thermal chamber 12 is by upstream wall 20a and downstream wall 20b, and in relative spaced walls 41,43 spaces that surrounded of the direction expansion of its intersection.Upstream wall 20a, downstream wall 20b and spaced walls 41,43 be the height of tool from the top board of processing substrate portion 5 to the bottom surface all.Thermal chamber 12 is communicated with warm-air supply parts 14 via the opening of the filter 21 that constitutes upstream wall 20a.In addition, part or all of downstream wall 20b is made of catalysis wall 40, is communicated with ventilating duct 17 via the through hole 47 that is provided with on catalysis wall 40.
Catalysis wall 40, shown in Fig. 4 (b), be formed with continuously a plurality of opening shapes through hole 47 (stream) triangular in shape substantially, so-called cellular plate body makes catalysis matrix 48.Through hole 47 is worked as the stream that generates gas, shown in Fig. 4 (c), disperses to inlay and be carried with a plurality of emboliform catalyst 49 on the surface of the internal face 47a that forms through hole 47.The material of catalysis matrix 48 preferably is the metal material of alloy based on stainless steel, even or also can keep stable material under the environment temperature in thermal chamber 12 as ceramic materials such as silica and aluminium oxide.In addition, for the oxidative decomposition that successfully begins to cause by forming the contained catalyst of holding 49 on the internal face 47a of through hole 47, preferred catalytic matrix 48 is made by the little material of heat conductivity height and thermal capacity.
Opening shape for catalysis matrix 48, consider that stream opposing and gas are with respect to the contact area of carrying the catalyst of holding 49 etc., replace triangle shown in present embodiment with polygonal, in addition, make curved shapes such as circular, oval, waveform and also be fine.If from the viewpoint of resisting with respect to the catalytic action and the ventilation of oxidative decomposition, the thickness of catalysis matrix 48 (suitable with the W of Fig. 4) is preferably the degree of 30~80mm.In present embodiment, the thickness of catalysis matrix 48 is about 50mm.Therefore, catalysis wall 40 shows sufficient catalytic action with respect to the generation gas that is produced in thermal chamber 12, and can not form very big stream opposing to the hot blast in the thermal chamber 12 of flowing through.
Be carried on the oxidative decomposition that catalyst 49 on the catalysis matrix 48 is used to promote the generation gas of discharging from thermal chamber 12.In the present embodiment, adopt material platinum (Pt) or palladium (Pd) noble metal of etc.ing or these precious metal alloys etc., that have a greater catalytic effect with respect to generation gas to be used as catalyst 49.Catalyst 49 is with respect to the generation gas that is produced in thermal chamber 12, under the temperature environment of about 150 ℃~200 ℃ of degree, demonstrate catalytic activity, under thermal chamber 12 reaches 230 ℃~250 ℃ state as heat treatment (burning till) temperature, demonstrate sufficient catalytic activity.
Spaced walls 41 has opening 50 on the position that is equivalent to be arranged on the mouth 6 that changes the outfit in the processing substrate portion 5.Opening 50 is made to the size and the shape of bottom line necessity for substrate W and automatic control mechanical arm are come in and gone out.Opening 50 is isolated with ventilating duct 17 by the protection walls 51 that is provided with in the mode around the encirclement opening 50, and simultaneously, mouth 6 is communicated with changing the outfit.Therefore, the gas that flows through in the ventilating duct 17 can not invade in the thermal chamber 12 via opening 50, and can not spill to the outside via changing the outfit mouth 6.On the other hand, spaced walls 43 is fixed on and is equivalent on door 7 the position, constitutes as required when keeping in repair etc. and can take out.
As shown in Figure 3, in the substantial middle portion of thermal chamber 12, dispose the mounting frame 55 that is used for the mounting substrate.Mounting frame 55 and known prior art that annealing device adopted was identical, have along above-below direction the structure that multilayer is used for the supporting layer 64 of horizontal mounting substrate W is set.
In thermal chamber 12, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, be provided with the temperature sensor 68 that is used for measures ambient temperature.Temperature sensor 68 is configured to the below that its front end arrives upstream one side of thermal chamber 12.Annealing device 1 constitutes the action that makes not shown control device FEEDBACK CONTROL heater strip according to the detected temperatures of temperature sensor 68, the temperature in the thermal chamber 12 is adjusted into the temperature (being 230~250 ℃ in the present embodiment) of regulation.
For the annealing device 1 of present embodiment, the gas flow when heat treatment has feature.Below, in reference concept map shown in Figure 5, the gas stream during with heat treatment comes the work of annealing device 1 is illustrated as emphasis.
Before heat treatment began, the control device of annealing device 1 (not shown) made startups such as the not shown pressure fan that constitutes warm-air supply parts 14 or heater, and heated air is imported in the thermal chamber 12.Therefore, in annealing device 1, air flow through thermal chamber 12 and ventilating duct 17 and turn back to the circular flow of warm-air supply parts 14 have been formed.
As noted above, when make that air circulates in annealing device 1 during, in warm-air supply parts 14, little by little air is heated, make thermal chamber 12 interior environment temperatures reach the heat treatment temperature (being 230 ℃~250 ℃ in the present embodiment) of regulation.In addition, the catalysis wall 40 that is arranged on the downstream of thermal chamber 12 has been subjected to the influence of the air stream of circulation in annealing device 1 etc. and has formed high temperature gradually, when reaching the regulation heat treatment temperature in thermal chamber 12, the contained catalyst of holding 49 has also reached the temperature that can give full play to catalytic action on the internal face 47a of through hole 47 being formed with.
If the environment temperature of thermal chamber 12 has reached heat treatment temperature, then be configured on the shifting apparatus such as automatic control mechanical arm of outside of annealing device 1 and be equipped with the substrate W that will heat-treat.On the other hand, annealing device 1 makes cylinder 8 actions, thereby the shutter 10 that seals the mouth 6 that changes the outfit is opened.If shutter 10 is opened, then substrate W flatly inserts from the mouth 6 that changes the outfit by the automatic control mechanical arm, and is positioned on each supporting layer 64.If substrate W is positioned on each supporting layer 64 of mounting frame 55, then close shutter 10.
As noted above, carry the substrate W on the supporting layer 64 of mounting frame 55, be exposed to the hot blast that in thermal chamber 12, flows and heat-treat (burning till).If substrate W heat-treats, the vaporizer of coating in advance from the teeth outwards then, thus at high temperature produce the generation gas of organic property.Therefore, if heat treatment begins, then include downstream one side flow that generates gas and Air mixing gas heat treated chamber 12.
Arrive catalysis wall 40 if include the mist that generates gas, then flow in a plurality of through holes 47 that on catalysis matrix 48, are provided with.As noted above, because in thermal chamber 12, reached the heat treatment temperature of regulation, so the catalyst 49 that carries on the internal face 47a that is held in catalysis matrix 48 is in the state that can give full play to catalytic action with respect to generation gas.Therefore, if generate gas, then because by carrying the oxidative decomposition (C that the catalyst 49 that is held on the internal face 47a that is formed with through hole 47 promotes to generate gas by catalysis wall 40 mH n+ O 2→ CO 2+ H 2O), thus make and generate gas and resolve into carbon dioxide and moisture content.
Above-mentioned oxidative decomposition is accompanied by the generation of reaction heat and produces.Therefore, if in annealing device 1 beginning heat treatment, then the mist by catalysis wall 40 is because along with the reaction heat of the oxidative decomposition of generation gas, and is discharged in the ventilating duct 17 under heated state.The mist that is discharged to ventilating duct 17 is maintained the condition of high temperature, simultaneously mobile in the ventilating duct 17,17 that between the spaced walls 41,43 of perisporium 13b, the 13d of processing substrate portion 5 and thermal chamber 12, forms.
The mist that flows through ventilating duct 17,17 when keeping the condition of high temperature and flow into the air interflow portion 16 of the both sides that are formed at warm-air supply parts 14, outdoor gas pre-mixed the closing that imports with outside from annealing device 1.Therefore, outdoor gas by and mist between heat exchange be carried out to a certain degree heating.Outdoor gas and mist are heated to predetermined temperature in warm-air supply parts 14, and are directed in the thermal chamber 12.Annealing device 1 circulates heated mist according to said sequence in thermal chamber 12, and proceeds the heat treatment of substrate W.
As noted above, in the annealing device 1 of present embodiment, the major part that produces owing to the hot blast heated substrates W that supplies with in warm-air supply parts heat treated chambers 12 14 generates gas, is carried catalyst 49 oxidation Decomposition that are held on the catalysis wall 40.Here, in the annealing device 1 of present embodiment, formed part or all of the downstream wall 20b that constitutes thermal chamber 12 by catalysis wall 40, simultaneously, adopted to be carried with catalytic activity and to be used as catalysis wall 40 with respect to noble metal such as high platinum of organic gas or palladium and precious metal alloys.And catalysis wall 40 forms: adopt to have being of a plurality of through holes 47 cellular parts as catalysis matrix 48, be formed with the structure that is carried with catalyst 49 on the internal face 47a of each through hole 47.Therefore, the major part generation gas that flows into catalysis wall 40 is the mist of main component by the carbon dioxide that the decomposition that generates gas becomes to produce, so it is extremely low to generate the concentration of gas.
In addition, in annealing device 1, generate the reaction heat that is produced when gas cyaniding decomposes by making in catalysis wall 40, coming what decomposed by catalysis wall 40 is that the mist of main component heats with the carbon dioxide, and forms high temperature.Therefore, in annealing device 1, the temperature of mist that flows through ventilating duct 17 in heat treatment work is higher, is not decomposed in generating gas decomposition portion and left behind even for example generate the part of gas, also can produce sublimate hardly.
In annealing device 1, the mist that carries out oxidation Decomposition and form high temperature in catalysis wall 40 flows through ventilating duct 17, in warm-air supply parts 14 with the new outdoor gas that imports mixes from the outside.In addition, annealing device 1 be make by thermal chamber 12 and in catalysis wall 40 decomposition gas of oxidation Decomposition heated once more and be used, most in device, the circulating of mist.Therefore, annealing device 1 is heated to set point of temperature in order to make the mist that supplies to thermal chamber 12, only needs the electric power of necessity seldom to get final product, and can contribute to some extent aspect the saving energy.In addition, in annealing device 1, because in air interflow portion 16, be directed to warm-air supply parts 14 after outdoor gas and the mist premixed, there is the uneven temperature situation hardly so import to the hot blast of thermal chamber 12 from warm-air supply parts 14, can not exist deviation ground that substrate W is heated.
As noted above, mist is because of by the 40 oxidized decomposition of catalysis wall and be heated.Therefore, by the mist after the catalysis wall 40 because of the CONCENTRATION DISTRIBUTION of mist or might produce the Temperature Distribution of regulation by principal elements such as catalysis wall 40 certain positions.According to such understanding, in the annealing device 1 of present embodiment, made catalysis wall 40 has been configured in the structure of downstream one side that mounting has the mounting frame 55 of substrate W.That is,, in the zone of downstream one side of the flow direction of the mist in the place of heat-treating, dispose catalysis wall 40, carry out oxidative decomposition in this zone for annealing device 1.Therefore, in the annealing device 1 of present embodiment, the Temperature Distribution that is exposed to the hot blast of substrate W is uniformly substantially, can heat substrate W to zero deflection.
As noted above, for annealing device 1, because generating gas, the major part that produces in thermal chamber 12 in catalysis wall 40, is decomposed, so produce sublimate hardly.Therefore, for annealing device 1, even proceed heat treatment work also can the maintaining heat treating apparatus peace and quiet in 1, simultaneously, can prevent the external leaks of sublimate heat treated device 1 when shutter 10 or door 7 are opened and pollute clean room etc.In addition, for above-mentioned annealing device 1, formed part or all of the downstream wall 20b that is located at generation gas flow direction downstream one side that substrate W go up to produce by catalysis wall 40, structure is very simple.
Annealing device 1 for above-mentioned embodiment, on the downstream wall 20b of the wall of downstream one side that constitutes thermal chamber 12, dispose catalysis wall 40, yet the present invention is not limited thereto, for example, as shown in Figure 6, also can constitute in the way of ventilating duct 17 the generation gas Knock-Down Component 70 that has with the 40 identical catalytic action of catalysis wall is set.In this case, can be arranged on any place in ventilating duct 17 ways though generate gas Knock-Down Component 70,, compare with the position that outdoor gas such as door 7 might flow into, preferably be arranged on upstream one side of the flow direction of mist.
In addition, for the catalysis wall 40 that is adopted in the above-described embodiment, though be in the through hole 47 of cellular catalysis matrix 48, to be carried with catalyst 49, yet the present invention is not limited thereto, for example also can adopt the catalyst at or ball shape granular by the inner filling of the box of the raw material made with air permeabilities such as wire nettings.Forming under this structure situation, also can make the heat treatment that is accompanied by substrate W reliably and the generation gas cyaniding that produces decomposition.In the above-described embodiment, because adopting in heat treatment (burning till) temperature is to demonstrate the high price raw material of the platinum (Pt) of sufficient catalytic activity or palladium (Pd) noble metal of etc.ing or these precious metal alloys as catalyst 49, so catalysis wall 40 has the tendency at high price that becomes to generating gas under 230 ℃~250 ℃ the environment temperature.Therefore, to carry the loading amount of urging outer agent 49 that is held on the catalysis wall 40 be optimization if the generation gas concentration that generates during according to heat treatment makes, and then can reduce the loading amount of catalyst 49, thereby can further reduce the manufacturing cost of annealing device 1.
