Specifically, referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a reaction apparatus for a graphite cavity inner surface treatment method provided in the present application, since corrosive chemical substances are generated in an electrochemical reaction process, in order to increase a service life of an electrolytic cell 30, a high-purity graphite crucible with high corrosion resistance is selected as the electrolytic cell 30 for the electrochemical reaction.
Alternatively, the inert gas may be helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon, or the like, and in this embodiment, argon, which is most commonly used, is selected as the inert gas, so that the electrochemical reaction is performed in an argon atmosphere.
Optionally, a temperature measurement and control device is disposed in the electrolytic cell 30 for monitoring the real-time temperature in the electrolytic cell 30 and controlling the temperature in the electrolytic cell 30 to be about 900 ℃, and since the temperature in the electrolytic cell 30 is relatively high, a thermocouple may be selected to measure the temperature in the electrolytic cell 30, and preferably, a K-type thermocouple is selected to measure the temperature in the electrolytic cell 30 in this embodiment.
In some embodiments, a TaC layer is formed on the surface of the graphite sheet 10 by electrochemical reaction of Ta metal, but Ta may be formed due to reaction of Ta with C 2 C by-product and Ta metal is relatively high in cost, so that preferably, Nb metal is selected to replace Ta metal for electrochemical reaction, so as to generate an NbC layer 11 on the surface of the graphite sheet 10, and Nb is selected to replace Ta for reaction, so as to be difficult to generate by-product, so that the purity of the NbC layer can be improved, the melting point of the NbC layer 11 is 3500 ℃, which is lower than the melting point of 3880 ℃ of TaC, so that NbC is easier to prepare than TaC, and the preparation cost of the graphite sheet 10 is reduced by selecting Nb to replace Ta for preparing the protective layer.
In the method for processing the inner surface of the graphite cavity in the embodiment of the application, the graphite thin plate 10 is used as an anode, the Nb metal plate 20 is used as a cathode, and NaCl-NbCl is used 5 The mixed material 40 is put into the electrolytic cell 30 to assemble an electrochemical reaction device, 5V working voltage is added to the cathode and the anode, the graphite sheet 10 is heated to 900 ℃ in the inert gas atmosphere, so that the NbC layer 11 is generated on the surface of the graphite sheet 10, and because the metal Ta and the metal Nb are the same group metals and have similar properties, in the embodiment, the lower-cost Nb element is used for replacing the higher-cost Ta element, and the NbC layer 11 can be obtained through simple electrochemical reaction, the treatment process of the inner surface of the graphite cavity is simplified, the processing cost of the inner surface protection layer of the graphite cavity is reduced, meanwhile, the inner surface of the graphite cavity can be prevented from crystallizing and falling on the substrate, and the yield of the substrate is ensured.
In some preferred embodiments, step S2 is performed under the following conditions:
the electrolytic cell 30 was placed in a sealed stainless steel container 60 for reaction.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 2, in the present embodiment, since the electrolytic cell 30 is made of a graphite crucible with strong thermal conductivity and the electrochemical reaction needs to be performed at 900 ℃, the electrolytic cell 30 needs to be placed in a high temperature resistant container to perform the electrochemical reaction, alternatively, in some embodiments, a glass container, a ceramic container, a stainless steel container, or the like can be used as the container of the electrolytic cell 30, and preferably, in the present embodiment, a stainless steel container 60 with low cost is used as the container of the electrolytic cell 30.
Specifically, the stainless steel container 60 needs to be sealed, and an inert gas argon is introduced into the sealed stainless steel container 60 to enable the electrochemical reaction to be performed in an inert gas atmosphere, wherein the argon is used as a protective gas in the electrochemical reaction to prevent the oxidation reaction from generating byproducts in the electrochemical reaction process.
In some preferred embodiments, a layer of graphite felt 50 is disposed in the stainless steel container 60, with the graphite felt 50 disposed between the stainless steel container 60 and the electrolytic cell 30.

In some preferred embodiments, the graphite cavity inner surface treatment method further comprises the following steps:
s3, the uniformity, thickness and quality of the NbC layer 11 formed by the reaction on the graphite sheet 10 were examined by X-ray diffraction.
Specifically, during the electrochemical reaction, since the current is unstable or impurities are introduced into the electrolytic cell 30, the thickness, uniformity and quality of the NbC layer 11 are affected, and the effect of the NbC layer 11 on preventing the crystal from dropping is affected, so that the NbC layer 11 on the graphite sheet 10 needs to be inspected, specifically, in this embodiment, the NbC layer 11 is inspected by using an X-ray diffraction method, when the thickness, uniformity and quality of the NbC layer 11 meet the process requirements, the graphite sheet 10 is qualified, and if at least one of the thickness, uniformity and quality of the NbC layer 11 does not meet the process requirements, the graphite sheet 10 is not qualified.
Specifically, the principle of the X-ray diffraction method is that when a monochromatic X-ray is incident on a crystal, the crystal is composed of unit cells formed by regularly arranged atoms, the distance between the regularly arranged atoms has the same order of magnitude as the wavelength of the incident X-ray, so that the X-rays scattered by different atoms interfere with each other to generate strong X-ray diffraction in certain special directions, the orientation and intensity of the diffraction lines in spatial distribution are closely related to the crystal structure, and the uniformity and thickness of the NbC layer 11 and the quality or purity of the NbC layer 11 can be analyzed according to the diffraction pattern obtained by the X-ray diffraction method.
In a second aspect, referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a graphite chamber thin plate provided in the present application, and the graphite chamber thin plate shown in fig. 3 includes a thin plate body, which is a graphite thin plate 10, and a bottom surface of the thin plate body has an NbC layer 11.
In this embodiment, a graphite sheet 10 is mounted on the inner top surface of the graphite chamber 1.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the graphite chamber 1 for performing the epitaxial process may be manufactured by the following steps:
a1, in the existing graphite cavity 1, processing an installation groove for installing the graphite thin plate 10 on the inner top surface of the graphite cavity 1;
a2, processing the Nb metal plate into a graphite thin plate 10 with the size matched with the inner top surface of the graphite cavity 1 according to the size of the inner top surface of the graphite cavity 1, and processing a fixture block 14 matched with the installation groove on the inner top surface of the graphite thin plate 10;
a3, forming NbC layers 11 on the surfaces of the graphite sheets 10 by electrochemical reaction (this step A3 can be specifically realized by the above-mentioned method for treating the top surfaces in the graphite cavities);
a4, a graphite sheet 10 with NbC layers 11 was mounted on the top inner surface of the graphite chamber 1.
The graphite chamber 1 is manufactured through the steps, the detachable graphite sheet 10 is installed on the inner top surface of the graphite chamber 1, and the NbC layer 11 is plated on the surface of the graphite sheet 10 and used for preventing the reaction gas from crystallizing on the inner top surface of the graphite chamber 1 and falling on the substrate 2 when the epitaxial process is carried out.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the reaction performed in the embodiment is SiC epitaxial reaction, since the reaction gas needs to be continuously introduced during the reaction process of the substrate 2, and the reaction process needs to be performed at 1700 ℃, when the high-temperature reaction gas is introduced into the graphite chamber 1 for a long time, Si droplets or SiC particles are generated on the inner top surface of the graphite chamber 1, and in order to reduce impurities generated on the inner top surface of the graphite chamber, the graphite sheet 10 having the NbC layer 11 needs to be installed on the inner top surface of the graphite chamber 1, specifically, the NbC layer 11 faces the substrate 2 in the graphite chamber 1.
In the examples of the present application, a graphite sheet 10 was used as an anode, a Nb plate 20 was used as a cathode, and NaCl-NbCl was used 5 The mixed material 40 is put into an electrolytic bath 30 to form an electrochemical reaction device, 5V working voltage is added to a cathode and an anode, the graphite sheet 10 is heated to 900 ℃ in an inert gas atmosphere, so that an NbC layer 11 is generated on the surface of the graphite sheet 10, the graphite sheet 10 is arranged on the inner top surface of a graphite cavity 1, so that when a substrate 2 reacts in the graphite cavity 1, the reaction gas is contacted with the NbC layer 11 on the graphite sheet 10 and is not directly contacted with the inner top surface of the graphite cavity 1, thereby reducing the generation of impurities on the inner surface of the graphite cavity 1 and dropping on the substrate, the application uses Nb element with lower cost to replace Ta element with higher cost, and can obtain the NbC layer 11 through simple electrochemical reaction, simplify the processing technology of the inner surface of the graphite cavity, simultaneously reduce the processing cost of a protective layer on the inner surface of the graphite cavity, and simultaneously can prevent the inner top surface of the graphite cavity from crystallizing and dropping on the substrate, the yield of the substrate is ensured.
In some preferred embodiments, the bottom surface of the graphite chamber sheet has a downwardly convex curved surface.
Specifically, according to the crystallization principle, the larger the radian of the convex arc-shaped curved surface on the surface is, the more the number of atoms required for crystallization on the surface is, and therefore, the bottom surface of the graphite cavity thin plate is set to be the arc-shaped curved surface which protrudes downward, and SiC can be prevented from crystallizing and dripping onto the substrate 2 on the inner top surface of the graphite cavity 1.
In some preferred embodiments, the curved surfaces include a first curved surface 12 and a second curved surface 13 with smooth transitions, and the radius of the first curved surface 12 is larger than the radius of the second curved surface 13.
Specifically, the first curved arc surface 12 and the second curved arc surface 13 should be arranged along the air feeding direction of the graphite chamber 1 when being installed, the starting point of the first curved arc surface 12 is arranged above the air inlet 15 of the graphite chamber 1 and is about 0-10mm away from the air inlet 15, in this embodiment, the starting point of the first curved arc surface 12 is arranged about 10mm above the air inlet 15, and the end point of the second curved arc surface 13 is arranged at a side close to the air outlet 16, preferably, in this embodiment, the first curved arc surface 12 is arranged above a substrate tray for supporting the substrate 2, so that when the thin plate on the top surface in the graphite chamber 1 is crystallized, SiC is concentrated at the end point of the first curved arc surface 12, that is, the lowest point of the first curved arc surface 12, and when the SiC crystal falls, the SiC crystal cannot fall on the substrate 2, thereby ensuring the growth yield of the substrate 2.
Specifically, the starting point of the second arc-shaped curved surface 13 is smoothly connected with the end point of the first arc-shaped curved surface 12, the end point of the second arc-shaped curved surface 13 is located at the exhaust port 16, and in addition, the distance between the connecting part of the first arc-shaped curved surface 12 and the second arc-shaped curved surface 13 and the inner top surface of the graphite cavity cannot be greater than the distance between the inner top surface and the inner bottom surface of the graphite cavity, so that the reaction gas cannot circulate in the graphite cavity 1.
Alternatively, in some embodiments, the graphite sheet 10 is in a regular cube shape, the NbC layer 11 is generated at the bottom of the graphite sheet 10 through an electrochemical reaction, so that the NbC layer 11 has a downwardly convex curved surface, and the electrochemical reaction is difficult to accurately generate the NbC layer 11 with the curved surface having the above shape requirement, and the generated NbC layer 11 has a non-uniform thickness, so that it is difficult to ensure that the thickness of the NbC layer 11 meets the process requirement, therefore, preferably, the bottom of the graphite sheet 10 is processed into a downwardly convex curved surface, the processing of the curved surface is convenient, and the thickness of the NbC layer 11 generated on the curved surface is convenient to measure, which not only saves the processing cost, but also improves the yield of the NbC layer 11.
In some preferred embodiments, the tangential direction of the junction of the first curved surface 12 and the second curved surface 13 is parallel to the horizontal plane.
Specifically, in order to make the gas flow more smoothly and stably in the graphite chamber 1, it is preferable that the tangential direction of the junction of the first curved surface 12 and the second curved surface 13 is parallel to the horizontal plane.
In some preferred embodiments, the top surface of the thin plate body has a plurality of latches 14, and the thin plate body is detachably mounted on the top surface in the graphite chamber 1 through the latches 14.
Specifically, in this embodiment, refer to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a structural side view of the graphite sheet provided by this application, the two sides of the fixture block 14 on the top surface of the sheet body have hooks, the inner top surface of the graphite cavity 1 is provided with a mounting groove for mounting the fixture block 14, when the graphite sheet 10 is mounted on the inner top surface of the graphite cavity 1 through the cooperation of the fixture block 14 and the mounting groove, the hooks are embedded into the mounting groove, thereby fixing the graphite sheet 10, the maintenance cost of the graphite cavity 1 is reduced by detachably mounting the graphite sheet 10 on the inner top surface of the graphite cavity 1, when the NbC layer 11 on the graphite sheet 10 is damaged or loses the protection function, the repair and maintenance can be completed only by replacing the graphite sheet 10, and the maintenance of the whole graphite cavity 1 is not needed.
