Embodiment
At first, with reference to the accompanying drawings the main composition in the embodiments of the present invention is described.
Fig. 1 represents the ultraviolet mornitoring system 4 in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention and is assembled with the formation of the ultraviolet lamp of this system.
In the ultraviolet lamp of present embodiment, possess the 1, the 2nd chamber 2, the 1st chamber, next door 3 and ultraviolet mornitoring system 4.Be provided with ultraviolet source 12 described later in the 1st chamber, its inside is retained as vacuum.The 2nd chamber 2 and the 1st chamber 1 are provided with continuously.The irradiation object thing 100 of the after-applied predetermined processing of illuminated ultraviolet ray is taken in the 2nd chamber 2.The material that next door 3 can be seen through by ultraviolet rays such as synthetic quartzs constitutes, owing to be arranged between the 1st chamber 1 and the 2nd chamber 2, thereby the space in space in the 1st chamber 1 and the 2nd chamber 2 is separated.And, seen through on the irradiation object thing 100 that shines behind the next door 3 in the 2nd chamber 2 by the ultraviolet ray of ultraviolet source described later 12 outputs in the 1st chamber 1.In addition, such next door 3 might not be leaveed no choice but be provided with, also ultraviolet source 12 and irradiation object thing 100 both sides can be in single cavity, taken in continuous inner space.
Ultraviolet mornitoring system 4 has supply unit 11, ultraviolet source 12, adamas vacuum ultraviolet line sensor 13 (hereinafter referred to as UV sensor 13) and control part 14.This ultraviolet mornitoring system 4 is the systems that the uitraviolet intensity of ultraviolet source 12 irradiations monitored and controlled its intensity.
Above-mentioned supply unit 11 is used for to ultraviolet source 12 supply electric power.In addition, ultraviolet source 12 is made of xenon excimer lamp or Cooper-Hewitt lamp etc., receives behind the electric power of supply unit 11 supplies, and ultraviolet source 12 irradiates about 1mW/cm 2~about 100mW/cm 2About ultraviolet ray.This ultraviolet source 12 is arranged in parallel with respect to above-mentioned irradiation object 100 by a plurality of with the predetermined distance configuration.
The ultraviolet intensity of 13 pairs of ultraviolet sources of UV sensor, 12 irradiations is measured.This UV sensor 13 constitutes the ultraviolet intensity that receives at from ultraviolet source 12, exports corresponding electric signal.Fig. 2 represents the concrete formation of UV sensor 13.UV sensor 13 has substrate 21, be formed on the substrate 21 and play ultraviolet test section effect diamond layer 22, be formed on a pair of surface electrode 23a and 23b and metal support 24 on the diamond layer 22.
Diamond layer 22 is formed on the substrate 21, keeps at a certain distance away to be formed with a pair of surface electrode 23a and 23b on the surface of this diamond layer 22.And the element that is made of substrate 21 and diamond layer 22 and surface electrode 23a and 23b is carried on metal support 24.Be provided with pair of terminal 24a and 24b on metal support 24, surface electrode 23a and terminal 24a electrically connect by wiring 26a, and another surface electrode 23b and terminal 24b electrically connect by wiring 26b simultaneously.
And UV sensor 13 is worked under the principle that is called as the light conduction type.Specifically, in UV sensor 13,, on diamond layer 22, generate electronics and positive hole because ultraviolet ray is injected on the diamond layer 22 by the field between surface electrode 23a and the 23b.At this moment, in diamond layer 22, produce the electric charge (electronics and positive hole) of the amount of the corresponding uitraviolet intensity of accepting.That is, the quantity of electric charge that generates when the uitraviolet intensity that is subjected to light is big increases, and the quantity of electric charge when the uitraviolet intensity that is subjected to light hour generation reduces on the contrary.Therefore, in UV sensor 13, when not shone by ultraviolet ray, the resistance of diamond layer 22 is very big, does not have electric current to pass through between surface electrode 23a and 23b, and is opposite, when by the ultraviolet ray irradiation, the resistance of diamond layer 22 reduces, and electric current is by between surface electrode 23a and the 23b and along with the increase of uitraviolet intensity, and the electric current of flowing through between surface electrode 23a and the 23b also increases thereupon.
And, by terminal 24a and 24b, wiring 26a and 26b, surface electrode 23a and 23b,, can collect the electric charge of above-mentioned generation to diamond layer 22 seal biasings.And the electric charge of collection outputs to control part 14 (with reference to figure 1) as electric signal from UV sensor 13.Because the above-mentioned quantity of electric charge that the intensity correspondence of the electric signal of this output generates in UV sensor 13, in other words, the size of the corresponding exactly electric current between above-mentioned surface electrode 23a and the 23b of flowing through, and proportional with above-mentioned irradiated ultraviolet intensity, therefore can judge ultraviolet irradiation intensity from the intensity of this electric signal.In addition, diamond layer 22 has favorable durability for ultraviolet ray.And, diamond layer 22 only to wavelength greatly the ultraviolet ray below 227nm have sensitivity, the light of the wavelength beyond the ultraviolet rays such as visible light, infrared ray is not had sensitivity.
Above-mentioned UV sensor 13 can be arranged on the interior all places of ultraviolet lamp.Wherein, position A~D shown in Figure 1 is for typically being provided with the position.
Position A is arranged on position in the 1st chamber 1 that is provided with ultraviolet source 12 with UV sensor 13.Because on the A of this position, can near ultraviolet source 12, directly measure, so be applicable to the real-time monitoring that when measuring uitraviolet intensity, improves repeatability and ultraviolet ray is carried out by 13 pairs of ultraviolet rays of UV sensor.Therefore, by UV sensor 13 is arranged on position A, have can be easily not lighting a lamp and the advantage of lowly determining of exposure intensity to ultraviolet source 12.
But on the A of this position, owing to can liftoff directly being subjected to of low coverage have about 1mW/cm 2~about 100mW/cm 2The situation that the temperature of UV sensor 13 rises can appear in the ultraviolet irradiation of intensity.When the temperature of UV sensor 13 surpasses the temperature range of regulation, can cause the measuring accuracy of UV sensor 13 to descend, at this moment, viewpoint from the measuring accuracy of keeping UV sensor 13, be preferably by cooling devices 15 (temperature control device) such as air cooling device, water cooling plant are set UV sensor 13 is cooled off, the temperature of UV sensor 13 is remained in the temperature range of afore mentioned rules.
Position B is arranged on position in the 2nd chamber 2 of taking in irradiation object thing 100 with UV sensor 13.This UV sensor 13 is being configured under the situation of this position B, because almost with shine object 100 on the identical ultraviolet ray of ultraviolet condition be injected on the UV sensor 13, so grasp the actual ultraviolet intensity that shines on the object 100 easily, the process that is suitable for when imposing predetermined process by ultraviolet ray irradiation and to irradiation object 100 manages.Moreover, on the B of this position, owing to, therefore can grasp the variation of the ultraviolet ray transmissivity in next door 3 to measuring through the ultraviolet rays that next door 3 is injected in the 2nd chamber 2 from ultraviolet source 12.That is, can be by on the B of position, uitraviolet intensity being measured, can grasp the deterioration in the next door 3 that causes because of the ultraviolet ray irradiation and see through the situations such as decline tendency of the ultraviolet ray transmissivity in next door 3.
In addition, have oxygen in the 2nd chamber 2, the part of oxygen changes and generates ozone when ultraviolet ray is shone.Therefore, when UV sensor 13 being arranged on position B and going up, UV sensor 13 is subjected to comprising the influence of the atmosphere of ozone.Specifically, when ozone directly contact with the surface of UV sensor 13, under the effect of the ozone of high response, the envenomation of UV sensor 13, the result might cause the sensitivity of UV sensor 13 that variation significantly takes place.Therefore, when UV sensor 13 is arranged on position B, in order to get rid of the influence of ozone, with vacuum seal portion 16 (cover portion) covering on every side to UV sensor 13.Enclosing in this vacuum seal portion 16 has argon gas, can prevent from because of the above-mentioned oxygen ozone that produces that changes UV sensor 13 to be impacted.And, on the part of vacuum seal portion 16, being provided with and seeing through ultraviolet ultraviolet incident section 17, ultraviolet ray is injected on the diamond layer 22 of UV sensor 13 by this ultraviolet ray incident section 17.
In addition, in the 2nd chamber 2, follow ultraviolet ray to shine on the object 100, can produce the material of regulation and disperse, this material can adhere to and be deposited on the surface of ultraviolet incident section 17 simultaneously.When these materials are deposited on the ultraviolet incident section 17, interdicted from the ultraviolet ray that UV sensor 13 is injected on the diamond layer 22, cause being difficult to uitraviolet intensity is measured exactly.Therefore, when UV sensor 13 being arranged on position B and going up, shutter mechanism 18 can be set, be used for reducing above-mentioned substance and adhere to and be deposited on the ultraviolet incident section 17.
Specifically, on the side in the face of the space in the 2nd chamber 2 of ultraviolet incident section 17, shutter mechanism 18 is set.And in the side in the face of the space in the 2nd chamber 2 of this ultraviolet ray incident section 17, shutter mechanism 18 constitutes and can switch between shielding status that ultraviolet incident section 17 is covered and the open state that ultraviolet incident section 17 is not covered.Promptly, when ultraviolet ray is measured, shutter mechanism 18 is not covered ultraviolet incident section 17, ultraviolet ray is injected on the diamond layer 22 of UV sensor 13 by this ultraviolet ray incident section 17, on the contrary, when not carrying out ultraviolet measurement, shutter mechanism 18 is covered ultraviolet incident section 17, adheres to and is deposited on the ultraviolet incident section 17 thereby suppress above-mentioned substance.
Position C sees through member 19 (the 2nd ultraviolet ray sees through member) through ultraviolet ray, the position on the outside in the 2nd chamber 2 that UV sensor 13 is arranged on, and this ultraviolet ray sees through member 19 and is made of the material that ultraviolet ray can see through.In this case, the ultraviolet ray of peristome 2a and this peristome of covering 2a is set through member 19 on the established part of the wall portion that constitutes the 2nd chamber 2.And the opposite side in the inside with the 2nd chamber 2 that sees through member 19 in this ultraviolet ray is provided with UV sensor 13, and ultraviolet ray sees through ultraviolet ray and accepted by UV sensor 13 through member 19.In addition, in this case, the position of UV sensor 13 be not limited to that ultraviolet ray sees through member 19 with the 2nd chamber 2 in the positions of opposite sides, the outside that also can be positioned at the 2nd chamber 2 can hard to bear light transmission ultraviolet ray sees through the ultraviolet position of member 19.For example, also can be positioned at the horizontal side that ultraviolet ray sees through member 19.
So, compare, UV sensor 13 is arranged on the configuration degree of freedom height of the UV sensor 13 under the situation in the outside in the 2nd chamber 2 with the situation in UV sensor 13 being arranged on the 2nd chamber 2.Therefore, be applicable to the situation that a plurality of UV sensor 13 is arranged on the position of expectation and each locational ultraviolet intensity distributions is grasped.For example, corresponding 12 of each ultraviolet sources are not provided with UV sensor 13, and the result of the uitraviolet intensity that these UV sensor 13 are monitored, feed back to behind the supply unit 11 of each ultraviolet source 12 supply electric power and control, can make the ultraviolet irradiation amount of each ultraviolet source 12 become even.
