A kind of cooling means for art and craft door in vertical oxidation wet oxygen technique and device
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of cooling means and cooling device of semiconductor vertical oxidation art and craft door, more specifically, a kind of cooling means that vertical oxidation furnace art and craft door takes cooling water flow differentiation to control in wet oxygen technique and corresponding cooling controller is related to.
Background technology
What the gas delivery system of semiconductor vertical oxidation adopted is top air inlet, the gas supply of lower exhaust, discharge mode.Wherein, gas exhaust piping is positioned at boiler tube bottom, close to art and craft door.
Refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, Fig. 1 is slide glass in a kind of semiconductor vertical oxidation and sealing mechanism structural representation; Fig. 2 is the art and craft door sealing mechanism top view in Fig. 1.As shown in Figure 1, in technique, in order to ensure good thermal field, on the top of art and craft door, heat-preserving container 4 is housed.The effect one of heat-preserving container is that two is to prevent hyperthermia radiation from causing damage to art and craft door and neighbouring each components and parts in order to prevent scattering and disappearing of furnace interior heat.Quartz boat 6 is equipped with on heat-preserving container top, is used for carrying technique sheet (silicon chip) 5.
Meanwhile, in order to realize the sealing of art and craft door better, material art and craft door aqueous cold plate 3 is equipped with as shown in Figure 2 is the O-ring seal 7 of macromolecular material, and the magnetic fluid 1 of magnetic suspension liquid is equipped with in inside as shown in Figure 1.These two parts have certain resistance to extreme temperature, and temperature is too high all can cause damage to parts.Therefore, as shown in Figure 1, during design, bottom art and craft door and process duct, be all provided with cooling water pipeline 2, the recirculated cooling water of firm discharge during technique, can be passed into.
In the wet oxygen technique that oxidation furnace carries out, main course of reaction is:
H
2+O
2→H
20
Si+H
2O→SiO
2+H
2
In course of reaction, steam that is unnecessary or that have neither part nor lot in reaction can be discharged from gas exhaust piping with air-flow.But, if gas exhaust piping is neighbouring, established technology door place temperature is lower, just may causes water vapor accumulation, produce the globule.If the globule produces too much, fall in boat process after technique terminates, the globule will flow down from art and craft door, easily cause art and craft door subjacent cable and each component damage; In addition on the one hand, if technological temperature is higher, art and craft door place temperature is too high, just may cause art and craft door sealing each parts thermal radiation and damage.
In wet oxygen technique, the cooling of existing vertical oxidation furnace art and craft door, the mode being the recirculated cooling water passing into firm discharge is carried out.Technological temperature due to wet oxygen technique comprises high, medium and low different temperature range, and the circulating cooling water system of firm discharge is difficult to be suitable for the difference of the cooling effect that the difference variation under larger thermograde is brought.Often in the high-temperature technology stage, art and craft door, because can not get good cooling, causes the seal member on art and craft door be subject to violent heat radiation and damage; And in the low temperature process stage, art and craft door is cooled excessively, cause water vapour to condense in a large number, the globule of generation flows down from art and craft door, easily causes art and craft door subjacent cable and each component damage.
In existing production, in order to improve the cooling performance of art and craft door in wet oxygen technique, from the angle of adjusting process door environment temperature, there are the following two kinds of methods of adopting:
One is change heat-preserving container thermal capacitance, and heat-preserving container bottom temp can change with thermal capacitance change;
Two is change technological temperature.
The defect of above-mentioned two kinds of methods is: change heat-preserving container thermal capacitance, need to carry out hardware modifications, heat-preserving container belongs to quartzy material, and general heat-preserving container is integral type structure, can not break, and processing cost is larger again; And technological temperature is fixed according to Production requirement, arbitrarily can not change, adjusting process temperature, last production capacity will certainly be had influence on.
