Referring to fig. 1 to 6, a specific embodiment of a mixed steam generating system according to the present application is shown.
Referring to fig. 1, 4 and 5, the hybrid steam generation system 100 includes: a steam generator 1, a concentration compensation device 2, and a delivery pipe 3 for communicating the steam generator 1 and the concentration compensation device 2; wherein the steam generating device 1 and the concentration compensating device 2 each comprise a liquid supply device (i.e., a liquid supply device 11 and a liquid supply device 21), and a heat retaining device (i.e., a heat retaining device 14 and a heat retaining device 24).
The liquid supply device 11 includes a liquid storage tank 111 for containing a solution 114 and a liquid inlet pipe 112 communicating with the liquid storage tank 111, the liquid inlet pipe 112 being provided with a first throttle valve 113, the flow rate of the solution 114 entering the liquid storage tank 111 from the liquid inlet pipe 112 being controlled by controlling the first throttle valve 113; a liquid level sensor 115 for monitoring the liquid level of the solution 114 is provided in the liquid storage tank 111. The first throttle valve 113 and the liquid level sensor 115 are electrically connected to a control circuit (not shown). Note that, the solution 114 is not completely filled in the liquid storage tank 111, and a proper space needs to be left above the liquid storage tank for containing the vapor of the solution 114.
In this embodiment, the solution 114 is isopropyl alcohol (IPA), and isopropyl alcohol vapor is supplied through the vapor generating device 1 for a wafer drying process after wet etching or cleaning. Solution 114 includes, but is not limited to, isopropyl alcohol, and in other embodiments of the present application, solution 114 may be other solutions that require conversion to steam for processing. One end of the liquid inlet pipe 112 communicates with a solution source (not shown), and the other end communicates with the liquid reservoir 111, and is capable of supplying a solution 114 into the liquid reservoir 111. It should be noted that to reduce the disturbance to the system caused by the liquid supply process, one end of the liquid inlet line 112 extends below the liquid level of the solution 114.
A level sensor 115 is provided on a side wall of the reservoir 111 to monitor the level of the solution 114 in the reservoir 111. In the present embodiment, the liquid level sensor 115 includes a first liquid level sensor 115a, a second liquid level sensor 115b, and a third liquid level sensor 115c. The first liquid level sensor 115a is located at the highest allowable liquid level position, the third liquid level sensor 115c is located at the lowest allowable liquid level position, and the second liquid level sensor 115b is located at the most appropriate set liquid level position. Note that, the height positional relationship of the first liquid level sensor 115a, the second liquid level sensor 115b, and the third liquid level sensor 115c is only schematically shown in fig. 1, 4, and 5. Because of the influence of the remaining space in the liquid storage tank 111 on the vapor pressure of isopropyl alcohol, the liquid level position of isopropyl alcohol needs to be strictly controlled according to the application, namely, the first liquid level sensor 115a, the second liquid level sensor 115b and the third liquid level sensor 115c are positioned near the set liquid level position, and the height difference between the first liquid level sensor and the second liquid level sensor is controlled within the preset range. In order to ensure normal process and continuous and stable formation of isopropyl alcohol vapor, a first throttle valve 113 is disposed on the liquid inlet pipe 112 to control the content of the solution 114 in the liquid storage tank 111. When the first liquid level sensor 115a detects that the liquid level of the solution 114 in the liquid storage tank 111 is higher than the position where the first liquid level sensor is located, the control circuit closes the first throttle valve 113, and the liquid inlet pipeline 112 stops supplying liquid into the liquid storage tank 111; when the liquid level of the solution 114 is lower than the position of the first liquid level sensor 115a, the first throttle valve 113 is controlled by the control circuit to control the flow rate of the injected solution 114, so that the content of the solution 114 in the liquid storage tank 111 is controlled within a certain range.
It should be further noted that, the liquid level sensor 115 includes, but is not limited to, an optical liquid level sensor, a floating ball type liquid level sensor, a capacitive liquid level sensor, etc., and the relevant arrangement of the liquid level sensor 115 can be adjusted accordingly according to different types.
The liquid storage tank 111 is placed in the heat insulating device 14, and a heat conductive medium 141 having a constant temperature is filled between the heat insulating device 14 and the liquid storage tank 111. In this embodiment, the heat conducting medium 141 is deionized water, and the application does not limit the initial temperature of the heat conducting medium 141, and the temperature of the solution 114 can be adjusted by using the temperature of the heat conducting medium 141 as a process adjustable parameter, so as to control the concentration of the solution 114 in the generated steam. Compared with the existing electric heating method and the like, the heat transfer process of water bath heat preservation is stable, isopropanol steam can be formed without heating under normal temperature conditions for isopropanol, the temperature of the heat conducting medium 141 can be set to be room temperature, and potential safety hazards caused by directly heating flammable and explosive chemicals such as isopropanol can be avoided. In addition, since the temperature of the solution 114 is controlled by the heat conductive medium 141, the temperature of the heat conductive medium 141 is an important parameter for maintaining the stability of the steam supply. The heat conducting medium 141 is filled around the liquid storage tank 111, so that the temperature of the solution 114 in the liquid storage tank 111 is relatively stable, and the rate and concentration of generated steam are relatively stable.
It should be further noted that the heat conducting medium 141 includes, but is not limited to, deionized water, and may be a liquid such as oil. Since the temperature of the solution 114 is controlled by the heat conducting medium 141, the temperature of the heat conducting medium 141 may be maintained by providing a cooling fin 143 or other temperature adjusting device with a temperature raising or lowering function on the heat preservation device 14, and a medium circulation pipe 142 connected to the temperature adjusting device, and adjusting the temperature of the heat conducting medium 141 flowing circularly by the cooling fin 143 (i.e., a lower concept of the temperature adjusting device), so that the liquid filled between the liquid storage tank 111 and the heat preservation device 14 controls the temperature, and the temperature of the solution 114 in the liquid storage tank 111 is adjusted to be kept constant. The structures of the liquid supply device 12 and the heat preservation device 14 in the steam generating device 1 are the same as those of the liquid supply device 11 and the heat preservation device 24 in the concentration compensation device 2, and will not be described again here.
Referring to fig. 1, the vapor generating device 1 further includes an external carrier gas source (not shown) for providing a carrier gas, and a carrier gas supply line 121 communicating with the external carrier gas source; the carrier gas supply line 121 includes an inlet end (not identified) where a second throttle valve 123 is configured to control the flow rate of the carrier gas, and an outlet end (not identified) where the outlet end extends into the solution 114 and is installed with a carrier gas distribution unit 122 for distributing the carrier gas into bubbles, and a plurality of uniformly sized outlet holes 1222 are annularly arranged on a sidewall 1221 of the carrier gas distribution unit 122 so that the generated bubbles are uniform and maintain a set distance from the liquid surface of the solution 114. The second throttle valve 123 is electrically connected with the control circuit
In this embodiment, the carrier gas is nitrogen, in order to ensure that the ratio of the carrier gas in the liquid storage tank 111 to the solution 114 is always stable and that the isopropyl alcohol vapor is stably supplied, a second throttle valve 123 is disposed at the air inlet end of the carrier gas supply pipe 121, the second throttle valve 123 is controlled by the control circuit to further control the content of the carrier gas entering the liquid storage tank 111 from the carrier gas supply pipe 121, and the carrier gas in the carrier gas supply pipe 121 is not reversed. The carrier gas is introduced into the solution 114, a carrier gas distribution unit 122 is installed at the gas outlet end of the carrier gas supply pipeline 121, and in order to ensure that the generated bubbles keep a set distance from the liquid surface of the solution 114, a plurality of gas outlet holes 1222 with uniform sizes are annularly arranged on the side wall 1221 of the carrier gas distribution unit 122, so that the carrier gas is distributed into bubbles with uniform sizes to overflow from the solution 114, and the vapor component of the solution 114 is carried under the normal temperature condition, thereby forming a carrier gas flow containing the vapor component of the solution 114.
The carrier gas includes, but is not limited to, nitrogen, but may be other inert gases or other gases required by the process.
Referring to fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the carrier gas distribution unit 122 is cylindrical, an air inlet hole 1223 with an equal aperture is disposed on the top surface of the carrier gas distribution unit, and the air inlet hole 1223 is communicated with the air outlet holes 1222 annularly disposed on the side wall 1221 to form a first channel 1224 through which the carrier gas flows and the flow paths are equal, and in this case, the carrier gas flow path is 1000. Since the air flow into the first passage 1224 is the same as the air bubbles formed at the air outlet 1222, and a constant temperature environment is provided by the heat preservation device 14, the concentration of the mixed vapor formed when the air bubbles collapse (i.e., the mixed vapor of isopropyl alcohol and nitrogen) is also the same. In addition, by controlling the first throttle valve 113 and the second throttle valve 123, it is ensured that the ratio of the carrier gas in the liquid storage tank 111 to the solution 114 is always stable, and further, the concentration stability of the mixed vapor generated in the vapor generating device 1 is ensured.
Referring to fig. 3, in another embodiment, the carrier gas distribution unit 122 has a hollow cavity 1225, the bottom of the hollow cavity 1225 is concaved to form a plurality of equal-sized flow guide grooves 1226 with central scattering distribution, and the flow guide grooves 1226 are mutually communicated with the air outlet holes 1222 annularly arranged on the side wall 1221 to form a second channel 1227 for the carrier gas to circulate and have equal circulation paths, and at this time, the carrier gas circulation path is 2000.
It should be further noted that the structure of the carrier gas distribution unit 122 includes, but is not limited to, the two types of structures provided that the cross-section of the flow channels (such as the first channel 1224 and the second channel 1227) along any one of the extending directions thereof is ensured to be equal, so that the air flows in the flow channels are equal and the size of the air bubbles formed at the air outlet holes 1222 is uniform, and the specific size of the air bubbles can be adjusted according to the requirement. By setting the flow passage, the carrier gas introduced into the carrier gas supply pipeline 121 is split and distributed into bubbles with uniform size, and when the bubbles overflow from the solution 114 and break, the concentration of mixed steam formed by the bubbles and the steam component of the solution 114 carried by the bubbles is stable, thereby avoiding the technical problem of unstable mixed steam concentration caused by uneven size of the bubbles split and distributed by the carrier gas distribution unit 122.
Referring to fig. 1, 4 and 5, the steam generating device 1 further includes a first steam output channel 13, the first steam output channel 13 includes a second pipe 131 and a first pipe 132, a flow path control element 133 is disposed between the second pipe 131 and the first pipe 132 and connected to one end of the delivery pipe 3, and a first concentration monitor 134 is disposed on the second pipe 131. The concentration compensation device 2 comprises a carrier gas compensation pipeline 221, a second steam output channel 23 which is arranged above the liquid storage tank 211 and communicated with the outside, and a second concentration monitor 231 and a second one-way valve 232 which are arranged on the second steam output channel 23. The flow channel control element 133, the first concentration monitor 134, the first check valve 31, the second concentration monitor 231, and the second check valve 232 are all electrically connected to the control circuit.
When the first concentration monitor 134 monitors that the concentration of the mixed vapor generated in the vapor generating device 1 is less than the preset concentration threshold, the control circuit controls the flow passage control element 133 to close the first pipeline 132, so that the second pipeline 131 is communicated with the conveying pipeline 3, and the mixed vapor enters the carrier gas compensation pipeline 221 from the second pipeline 131 through the conveying pipeline 3, as shown in the gas path 102 in fig. 1. At this time, the mixed vapor generated in the vapor generating device 1 (i.e., the mixed vapor of IPA and nitrogen) serves as the carrier gas source of the carrier gas compensation line 221 in the concentration compensation device 2, and the secondary reaction is performed in the concentration compensation device 2. When the first concentration monitor 134 monitors that the concentration of the mixed steam generated in the steam generating device 1 reaches the preset concentration threshold, the control circuit controls the flow passage control element 133 to close the conveying pipeline 3, and the second pipeline 131 and the first pipeline 132 are communicated, so that the mixed steam generated in the steam generating device 1 is conveyed from the first steam output channel 13 to the receiving device 4, as shown in the gas path 101 in fig. 1. The first check valve 31 is provided on the delivery pipe 3, so that the interference of the reverse flow of the gas in the concentration compensation device 2 can be avoided. The flow control element 133 may be a T-ball three-way valve or other type of element as long as gas flow control is enabled.
In the present embodiment, since only one concentration compensating device 2 is provided, the second check valve 232 is provided on the second steam output passage 23. The mixed steam generated in the steam generating device 1 is used as a carrier gas source to perform secondary reaction in the concentration compensating device 2, and likewise, a second concentration monitor 231 arranged in the second steam output channel 23 monitors the mixed steam generated in the concentration compensating device 2, if the second concentration monitor 231 monitors that the concentration of the generated mixed steam reaches a preset concentration threshold value, a control circuit opens a second one-way valve 232, and the output path of the mixed steam is shown as a gas path 103 in fig. 1; and otherwise, the second check valve 232 is closed to stop outputting the mixed steam.
It should be noted that, the working principles of the carrier gas compensation pipeline 221 and the second concentration monitor 231 in the concentration compensation device 2 are the same as the working principles of the carrier gas supply pipeline 121 and the first concentration monitor 134 in the vapor generating device 1, and the same technical scheme is referred to the above, and will not be repeated herein. In the present embodiment, the receiving device 4 is a wafer drying device to dry the wafer by the generated mixed vapor. The receiving device 4 includes, but is not limited to, a wafer drying device, and can be adjusted according to actual requirements.
In a variant embodiment, as shown with reference to fig. 4, the first steam output channel 13 and the second steam output channel 23 may be connected first and then to the receiving means 4. In this embodiment, it should be noted that a third check valve 135 needs to be added to the first steam output channel 13 to avoid interference of the mixed steam in the first steam output channel 13 and the second steam output channel 23.
In another variant embodiment, referring to fig. 5, a plurality of concentration compensation devices 2 may be sequentially connected after the steam generating device 1, and the concentration of the mixed steam entering the receiving device 4 may be more accurate and more stable.
Please refer to the first embodiment for the same technical scheme in the above two embodiments, and the description thereof is omitted herein.
