Emission-control equipment
Technical field
The utility model relates to technical field of manufacturing semiconductors, the emission-control equipment in the particularly a kind of semiconductor manufacturing enterprise production process.
Background technology
In semiconductor fabrication, can produce a large amount of waste gas, for example, when utilizing chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process deposits polysilicon or silicon dioxide layer, will utilize a large amount of silane (SiH
4) gas or other silicon-containing gas, also need to use a large amount of silane gas during with the various non-crystalline silicons of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process deposits, microcrystal silicon and Nano thin film, in addition, arts demands such as doping and ion injection are used borine (B
2H
6) and phosphine (PH
3) wait gas.Because silane can spontaneous combustion in air, borine and phosphine also are toxic gases, and therefore for the consideration of safety and environmental protection, these technical process finish a large amount of residue reacting gas in back and can not directly be discharged in the atmosphere.
Generally speaking, the residue reacting gas that contains silane in the depositing device must be handled through exhaust scrubber, in order to avoid atmosphere is polluted.Therefore, be indispensable pith with the supporting exhaust processor of depositing device.Gases such as silane must after filtration or change into can be by the material of safe disposal.Normally silane being burnt in the combustion chamber, generally is fuel, at this moment silane SiH with the natural gas
4Change into silica (SiO through reaction
2).But with the natural gas is fuel, if system breaks down suddenly, for example the air inlet of combustion chamber breaks down, residual SiH
4Will assemble in the combustion chamber, probably cause uncontrollable subsequently burning, the combustion chamber just might become explosive source.Wet cleaner and other treatment facility also have been applied to the processing of silicone hydride waste gas.United States Patent (USP) 6174349 provides a kind of moist washer in conjunction with combustion box.United States Patent (USP) 5955037 provides a kind of processing method of oxidation.United States Patent (USP) 5320817 uses a kind of slaine that generates the hydrogen aluminium compound to remove silane.The wet washing device of other type is based on wet chemical reaction, allows silane and such as the reaction of the spray of NaOH (NaOH), this method efficient height, and treating capacity is big, but process and equipment are very complicated, are out of order easily.Another technology of handling silane is to be applied in the exhaust-gas mixture that contains silane by so-called " dry-cure device " high-density plasma with low pressure, silane is decomposed and is deposited on above the very big multi-layered electrode of surface area, and electrode is changed termly and cleared up.Yet this method is because the existence of the synthetic of the continuous variation of gas pipeline pressure and mix waste gas often causes the disappearance of plasma.In addition, the treatment effeciency of 95%-99% can not reach safety and the environmental protection regulations and the requirement of the strictness of current government organs formulation.
Existing waste gas treatment equipment all exists cost and operating cost costliness to some extent, maintenance and maintenance require high, produce the liquid or solid pollutant, there is operational hazards, problems such as it is bigger perhaps to take up space, in addition, the performance of traditional waste gas treatment equipment depends on the type of gas in the mix waste gas to a great extent, each exhaust-gas mixture all needs a kind of specific chemical method to handle, can not dispose all waste gas simultaneously, not be suitable for needs low-cost and the production in enormous quantities semiconductor devices.
