- Irradiation device for coupling infrared radiation into a vacuum process chamber with a single-ended infrared radiator Description
- the present invention relates to an irradiation device for coupling infrared radiation in a vacuum processing chamber, with a single-ended infrared radiator comprising a radiator shroud in the form of a round tube made of glass, of which a closed end protrudes into the vacuum processing chamber, and with a Vacuum feedthrough for holding and gas-tight implementation of the Strahlerhüllrohres through an opening of the vacuum process chamber, wherein in the Strahlerhüllrohr as a Schufilament
- heating filament of a conductive material with high melting temperature
- Such heating filaments take the form of straight wires or sheets, or the shape of a meander, one
- Heating filament is applied a voltage so that a current can flow while heat is generated.
- An infrared radiator therefore has two electrical connection elements, one of which is connected to the Bankfilament and the other to the current feedback.
- the connection elements are called via seals, also called current feedthroughs, from the
- infrared radiators in vacuum or in vacuum processes with reactive atmospheres in which a considerable amount of heat is to be introduced into a substrate to be processed in a short time, presents a particular challenge to the components and materials used.
- the emitter tube typically consists of a high-siliceous glass, such as quartz glass, which is characterized by a very low thermal expansion coefficient and very high temperature resistance.
- a high-siliceous glass such as quartz glass
- quartz glass which is characterized by a very low thermal expansion coefficient and very high temperature resistance.
- Gas-tight current feed-throughs comprise a so-called "pinch” in which a thin molybdenum foil as a conductive electrical contact and intermediate element between inner and outer terminal elements, usually in the form of pins, is melted into the crimped end of the quartz glass emitter tube
- the infrared radiators are mounted in the chamber wall of a vacuum process chamber, it should also be noted that it is at the transition from
- the holder of the radiator in the process chamber wall is possible by attaching flanges on the radiator tube or on the process chamber wall, which form part of a vacuum feedthrough.
- flanges must be movably mounted in the direction of the radiator axis against the process chamber wall in order not to convert small thermal expansions destructive tensile stress for the radiator tube: Since the thermal expansion of the quartz glass is about an order of magnitude lower than that of the metallic chamber wall, already small Variations of the
- the IR radiator is arranged in a circular tube closed on one side of quartz glass, wherein the infrared radiation source is connectable to a not further disclosed energy source in the vacuum process chamber.
- a cooling device is provided by means of air cooling within the radiator tube. The cooling acts on the entire radiator cladding tube and also reduces the heat at the radiator tube end that is open to the outside in the area of the vacuum feedthrough. The establishment of a corresponding cooling, however, is expensive, prone to failure and rather contradicts the
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide an irradiation device for coupling infrared radiation in vacuum process chambers, in which the disadvantages of the prior art are avoided and safe operation, in particular of long IR radiators, even at high heat output in a simple manner, is guaranteed without additional components or cooling.
- connection element of the heat conductor is guided by a piece of pipe and that the return conductor in the surrounded by the vacuum passage portion of the radiator cladding has a means for compensating the thermal expansion.
- a safe operation of the introduced into the vacuum process chamber, one-sided socketed IR emitter is ensured by a plurality of complementary features: In the area of the vacuum feedthrough, the heat transfer to the
- Vacuum seal reduced by the connecting element of the heating element is performed in this section of the Strahlerhüllrohres in a heat-insulating pipe section.
- Such, relatively short pipe section can be pushed in the production process without great effort on the connection element.
- Connection element is formed from a straight piece of wire, wherein a material for the connection element is preferred, which has a lower thermal conductivity compared to the heating conductor.
- the pipe section also prevents the risk that the connecting element of the heating element comes into contact with the return conductor.
- the return conductor in the part of the radiator cladding tube surrounded by the vacuum feedthrough has a means for compensating the
- Interference function also lead to locally particularly strong heat development.
- a centric guidance of the return conductor in a small space is made possible in this way.
- the infrared radiator according to the invention is also suitable for withstanding vibrations during operation, provided they do not exceed a deflection of 0.7 mm from the entire radiator in the range from 2 Hz to 10 Hz.
- an acceleration of 20 m / s 2 can act harmlessly on the radiator.
- Connecting element of the heating element is formed from a wire made of molybdenum or a molybdenum compound.
- Quartz glass is a particularly suitable material due to its heat-insulating effect. Furthermore, quartz glass has a very high temperature resistance, so that no deformation of this pipe section occurs even in the event of heat accumulation occurring in the area of the vacuum feedthrough. Basically, as an alternative to quartz glass and pipe sections made of ceramic high-temperature materials come into question. From a manufacturing point of view, however, a small variety of materials is preferred, so that quartz glass, which is also generally used for the radiator cladding tube, also represents the preferred material for the tube piece in question. Furthermore, the connecting element of the heat conductor consists of a wire made of molybdenum or of a molybdenum compound.
- Molybdenum has lower thermal conductivity compared with tungsten, which is commonly used as a material for the heating filament, so that the use of molybdenum or a molybdenum alloy as a material for the terminal of the heating conductor contributes to a reduction in the temperature load in the area of the vacuum feedthrough.
- the spring element of the return conductor in the subsection of the radiator cladding tube surrounded by the vacuum feedthrough is capable of significant
- the spring element therefore contributes to the safe operation of the IR radiator.
- the spring element is designed in the form of a wire winding, which is wound around the pipe section of the connecting element of the heating element.
- the means for compensating the thermal expansion and the return conductor itself in one piece as a wire of molybdenum or a molybdenum compound form.
- the return conductor has no welds, but consists throughout as a wire made of molybdenum or of a molybdenum alloy, which also serves as a connection element for the return conductor and is led out of the Strahlerhüllrohr.
- the means for compensating the spring element As an alternative to the spring element, the means for compensating the spring element
- Thermal expansion of the return conductor is formed as a sliding bearing made of carbon, which has at least two electrically conductive sliding bearing elements which are slidably in contact, wherein one of the sliding bearing elements is designed as a sliding rod and the other of the sliding bearing elements as sliding bushing.
- the sliding bearing forms an electrically conductive component, which allows a powerless compensation of the length expansion of the return conductor.
- the length compensation takes place without spring action alone by a
- Carbon, especially graphite, is particularly suitable as a bearing material, since its abrasion acts self-lubricating. It also has good electrical conductivity.
- a support element is guided in the closed end of the radiator cladding tube, which is connected to the heating conductor.
- the support element is fixed on the one hand in the glass wall of the cladding tube
- the support element is formed as a rod of molybdenum or of a molybdenum compound, which is guided in the closed end of the radiator cladding tube in alignment with the Schufilament.
- the rod made of molybdenum or of a molybdenum compound is positively or materially connected to the Schufilament and the leadership in the closed end of the radiator cladding tube by means of a
- the material molybdenum (or a molybdenum alloy) has proven itself because of its temperature resistance for use in IR emitters.
- the rod is positioned so that it runs as a support element in alignment with the Schufilament and is thereby fixed in the glass wall of the cladding tube by means of a pinch.
- connection to the heating filament is positive or cohesive, for example, a positive connection is made by a round rod is inserted into the turns of a coiled Bankfilaments and is covered by the windings.
- a cohesive connection is possible by welding the support element to the Schufilament.
- crimping machines are used which, for example, have two burners rotating about the radiator cladding tube to be squeezed and two crimping jaws located opposite one another.
- Crimping jaws are moved past the burners against the tube and compress it to enclose the support element (rods) inserted therein in the pinch.
- Quartz glass tube is guided.
- the return conductor is insulated from the heating conductor so that no electrical arcing can occur.
- the radiation emanating from the heating filament is only slightly shadowed by the quartz glass tube surrounding the return conductor, so that practically no substantial loss of the radiant power results from this measure, but an improvement with regard to the safe operation of the IR radiator.
- the spacer may be in the form of a tantalum disc formed by recesses or slots to hold the heating filament and the quartz glass tube leading the return conduit at a safe distance from each other and from the inner wall of the radiator sheath tube.
- tantalum and niobium as a material for the spacer in question.
- Advantageous in this context is the relatively low thermal conductivity and a high specific electrical resistance of tantalum and niobium compared to tungsten or molybdenum, as materials that come for the heating element or the return conductor in question.
- the spacer can be kept in a particular position along the longitudinal axis of the radiator, in particular in the vertical use of the IR radiator by small elevations of glass are attached to the inner wall of the radiator cladding tube.
- spacers of Advantage to ensure an orderly leadership in particular of the heat conductor over the length of the radiator, so that the risk of short circuits is excluded by twisting or sagging of the heating element.
