Description

本発明は、薬液弁を樹脂製流路ブロックに対して、シール部材を介して取り付けるときの取付方法に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an attachment method for attaching a chemical valve to a resin flow path block via a seal member.

半導体製造ラインには、高度に集積化されたガス供給ユニットが多数使用されている。ガス供給ユニットにおいては、所定量のガスを供給するためにマスフローコントローラが使用されている。マスフローコントローラは、非常に細い管を利用しており、また、半導体製造ラインで使用されるガスは腐食性の高いものが多いため、つまりが発生しやすく、マスフローコントローラを交換する頻度が多い。
マスフローコントローラは、狭い空間に取り付けられていたり、また、横向き等に取り付けられている場合もあり、交換時の作業性が悪い問題があり、本出願人は、特許文献1において、4本のネジ孔のうちの2本にガイドロッドを取り付けた状態で、マスフローコントローラを取り付ける方法を提案している。
Many highly integrated gas supply units are used in semiconductor manufacturing lines. In the gas supply unit, a mass flow controller is used to supply a predetermined amount of gas. The mass flow controller uses very thin tubes, and the gas used in the semiconductor production line is often highly corrosive, so that clogging is likely to occur and the mass flow controller is frequently replaced.
The mass flow controller may be mounted in a narrow space, or may be mounted sideways or the like, which has a problem of poor workability at the time of replacement. A method of attaching a mass flow controller with a guide rod attached to two of the holes has been proposed.

一方、半導体製造ラインでは、ガスの他に薬液を用いてエッチングを行う場合があり、その薬液を供給するための薬液弁も多く使用されている。薬液も、腐食性の強いものが多いので、薬液弁の材質としては、PTFE、PFA等のフッ素系樹脂が使用されている。
薬液弁も、故障時には交換が必要となるが、交換時の作業性が悪いという問題がある。
薬液弁10は、図1及び図3に示すように、ベースプレート40上に載置された樹脂製流路ブロック20と、この樹脂製流路ブロック20に形成された流路に連通する上面ポート25にガスケット50を装着した状態で下面ポート315と連通する樹脂製バルブ30とを備えたもので、ベースプレート40に4本の取付雄ネジ90で取り付けられている。
特開平11−159656号公報
On the other hand, in a semiconductor production line, etching may be performed using a chemical solution in addition to gas, and a chemical valve for supplying the chemical solution is often used. Since many chemical solutions are highly corrosive, fluorine-based resins such as PTFE and PFA are used as the material for the chemical solution valve.
The chemical valve also needs to be replaced in the event of a failure, but there is a problem that workability at the time of replacement is poor.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the chemical valve 10 includes a resin flow channel block 20 placed on the base plate 40 and an upper surface port 25 communicating with the flow channel formed in the resin flow channel block 20. And a resin valve 30 communicating with the lower surface port 315 in a state where the gasket 50 is attached to the base plate 40, and is attached to the base plate 40 with four mounting male screws 90.
JP 11-159656 A

樹脂製バルブ30を交換するために、新たな樹脂製バルブ30を樹脂製流路ブロック20にガスケット50を装着して連結する際に、取付雄ネジ90の推力によってガスケット50を徐々に潰していくことが行われている。ところが、図17に示すような径方向に圧入代を設けたガスケット50を使用する場合は、その圧入距離がシール性能に関係してくるため、高いシール力を持つガスケットは組立前に樹脂製流路ブロック20と樹脂製バルブ30との間に大きな隙間を生じることが多い。   In order to replace the resin valve 30, the gasket 50 is gradually crushed by the thrust of the mounting male screw 90 when the new resin valve 30 is connected to the resin flow path block 20 by attaching the gasket 50 thereto. Things have been done. However, when using a gasket 50 having a press-fitting allowance in the radial direction as shown in FIG. 17, the press-fitting distance is related to the sealing performance. In many cases, a large gap is generated between the road block 20 and the resin valve 30.

この隙間が大きいと、図18に示すように、取付雄ネジ90の先端がベースプレート40に設けた雌ネジ孔41に届かず、締め付けることができないという問題がある。無理やり樹脂製バルブ30を手などで押さえつけてガスケット50を潰そうとし、かつ、1本目の取付雄ネジ90を締め付けようとすると、図19に示すように、樹脂製流路ブロック20に対して樹脂製バルブ30が傾斜して、ガスケット50のシール面に傾きが発生する。   If this gap is large, the tip of the mounting male screw 90 does not reach the female screw hole 41 provided in the base plate 40 as shown in FIG. Forcibly pressing the resin valve 30 with a hand or the like to crush the gasket 50 and tightening the first mounting male screw 90, as shown in FIG. The manufactured valve 30 is inclined, and the sealing surface of the gasket 50 is inclined.

他の3本の取付雄ネジ90により、この傾斜を修正しながら締め付けても、ガスケット50のシール面に均一なシール力が得られず、薬液が漏れたりするという問題が生じる恐れがある。
このような問題が生じたまま半導体を製造してウエハーの最終工程で不具合が発見されると、工程をすべて遡って問題発生工程を探索することとなり、膨大な手間と工数が掛かるため、異常が発見されたならその場でその工程の薬液弁を交換する必要があった。
Even if the other three mounting male screws 90 are tightened while correcting the inclination, a uniform sealing force cannot be obtained on the sealing surface of the gasket 50, and there is a possibility that a chemical solution leaks.
If such a problem occurs and a semiconductor is manufactured and a defect is discovered in the final process of the wafer, the process will be traced all the way back to find the process where the problem occurred. If discovered, it was necessary to replace the chemical valve of the process on the spot.

また、薬液弁は、前記マスフローコントローラと同様に、狭い空間に上向きばかりではなく横向きや逆さ向きに取り付けられることが多く、薬液弁を交換する際に、作業者は一方の手で樹脂製バルブを樹脂製流路ブロックにあてがって押さえながら、他方の手で4本の取付雄ネジを差し込んで締め付けるという困難な作業を強いられていた。   Similarly to the mass flow controller, the chemical valve is often mounted not only in a narrow space but also horizontally or upside down, and when replacing the chemical valve, the operator must hold the resin valve with one hand. While holding the resin channel block and pressing it, the other hand was forced to insert and tighten the four mounting male screws.

そこで、本発明は、かかる課題を解決すべく、薬液弁を構成する樹脂製流路ブロックに対して樹脂製バルブを、ガスケットを装着して連結する際に、樹脂製流路ブロックに対する樹脂製バルブの姿勢を正常に保ちつつ、短時間で容易に取り付けることを可能にした薬液弁取付方法を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, in order to solve such problems, the present invention provides a resin valve for a resin flow path block when the resin valve is connected to a resin flow path block constituting a chemical valve and a gasket is attached. It is an object of the present invention to provide a chemical valve mounting method that can be easily mounted in a short time while maintaining the normal posture.

以上のように構成された第1の実施の形態の治具ネジ80と取付用ブラケット60ならびに押圧手段70を用いて、薬液弁10の樹脂製バルブ30を交換する際の取付方法について説明する。ただし、今まで取り付けられていた樹脂製バルブ30及びガスケット50はすでに取り外されているものとし、また、新たな樹脂製バルブ30の下面ポートには新たなガスケット50が仮付けされているものとする。   A mounting method when replacing the resin valve 30 of the chemical valve 10 using the jig screw 80, the mounting bracket 60, and the pressing means 70 of the first embodiment configured as described above will be described. However, it is assumed that the resin valve 30 and the gasket 50 that have been installed so far have already been removed, and that a new gasket 50 is temporarily attached to the lower surface port of the new resin valve 30. .

まず、図4に示すように、2本の治具ネジ80の下端の雄ネジ部811を、樹脂製流路ブロック20の対角線上にある取付用貫通孔23に差し込み、ベースプレート40の雌ネジ孔41に治具ネジ80の下部段付部81がベースプレート40の上面に当接して止まるまで螺合させる。したがって、この状態では、2本の治具ネジ80が樹脂製流路ブロック20から突出していることになる。   First, as shown in FIG. 4, the male screw portion 811 at the lower end of the two jig screws 80 is inserted into the mounting through hole 23 on the diagonal line of the resin flow channel block 20, and the female screw hole of the base plate 40 is inserted. 41 is screwed until the lower stepped portion 81 of the jig screw 80 comes into contact with the upper surface of the base plate 40 and stops. Therefore, in this state, the two jig screws 80 protrude from the resin flow path block 20.

つぎに、図5に示すように、樹脂製流路ブロック20から突出している2本の治具ネジ80に、上方から新たな樹脂製バルブ30を、そのバルブボディ31に設けられた取付用貫通孔313を貫通させて、治具ネジ80により案内されながらガスケット50が樹脂製バルブ30の上面ポート25に接触して止まるまで載置する。したがって、この状態では、2本の治具ネジ80の頭部87が樹脂製バルブ30の上端より上方にあることになる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 5, a new resin valve 30 is attached to the two jig screws 80 projecting from the resin channel block 20 from above, and the mounting through holes provided in the valve body 31 are installed. Through the hole 313, the gasket 50 is placed while being guided by the jig screw 80 until it comes into contact with the upper surface port 25 of the resin valve 30 and stops. Therefore, in this state, the heads 87 of the two jig screws 80 are above the upper end of the resin valve 30.

そして、図6、図7に示すように、取付用ブラケット60の雌ネジ孔631に押付けボルト71を螺合した状態で雄ネジ頭受け部61に設けた切欠き部611を、治具ネジ80の小径部85に、平面視で時計回りに回動させて係合させる(ここまでが特許請求の範囲の第1工程に相当)。
一方の手で取付用ブラケット60が治具ネジ80の小径部85に係合した状態を保持しながら、他方の手で押付けボルト71の下端が取付用ブラケット60から伸長する方向に押付けボルト71を回動させて、図8に示すように、該押付けボルト71の先端を樹脂製バルブ30のトップカバー35の上面に当接させる。
6 and 7, the notch portion 611 provided in the male screw head receiving portion 61 in a state where the pressing bolt 71 is screwed into the female screw hole 631 of the mounting bracket 60 is replaced with the jig screw 80. The small-diameter portion 85 is engaged with the small-diameter portion 85 by rotating clockwise in plan view (this corresponds to the first step in the claims).
While holding the state where the mounting bracket 60 is engaged with the small diameter portion 85 of the jig screw 80 with one hand, the pressing bolt 71 is moved in the direction in which the lower end of the pressing bolt 71 extends from the mounting bracket 60 with the other hand. As shown in FIG. 8, the tip end of the pressing bolt 71 is brought into contact with the upper surface of the top cover 35 of the resin valve 30.

さらに、押付けボルト71を回動させると、取付用ブラケット60が上方に移動させられて、雄ネジ頭受け部61の上面が切欠き部611で治具ネジ80の上部段付け部83に当接し、それ以上の上方移動が阻止される。
また、さらに、押付けボルト71を回動させると、押付けボルト71に押圧されて樹脂製バルブ30が治具ネジ80に案内されながら、徐々に樹脂製流路ブロック20に接触する。このとき、ガスケット50の凹部51、52にリング状の凸部251、3151がそれぞれ嵌入し、凹部51、52及び凸部251、3151が変形しながら上面ポート25および下面ポート315に装着され、気密が保持される(ここまでが特許請求の範囲の第2工程に相当)。
Further, when the pressing bolt 71 is rotated, the mounting bracket 60 is moved upward, and the upper surface of the male screw head receiving portion 61 comes into contact with the upper stepped portion 83 of the jig screw 80 at the notch portion 611. Further upward movement is prevented.
Further, when the pressing bolt 71 is further rotated, the resin valve 30 is pressed by the pressing bolt 71 and guided to the jig screw 80, and gradually contacts the resin flow path block 20. At this time, the ring-shaped convex portions 251 and 3151 are fitted into the concave portions 51 and 52 of the gasket 50, respectively, and the concave portions 51 and 52 and the convex portions 251 and 3151 are attached to the upper surface port 25 and the lower surface port 315 while being deformed. Is maintained (this corresponds to the second step in the claims).

そして、樹脂製バルブ30が樹脂製流路ブロック20に確実に接触したことを確認したなら、治具ネジ80が取り付けられていない他の対角線上の2カ所の取付用貫通孔313、23に取付雄ネジ90を挿入して、その先端をベースプレート40の雌ネジ孔41に螺合し、樹脂製バルブ30を樹脂製流路ブロック20ならびにベースプレート40に規定のトルクで締め付ける(ここまでが特許請求の範囲の第3工程に相当)。
その後、押付けボルト71を逆回転させて押圧状態を解除し、取付用ブラケット60を平面視で時計回りに回動させて雄ネジ頭受け部61の切欠き部611を治具ネジ80の小径部85から脱出させることにより、治具ネジ80から取付用ブラケット60を押圧手段70とともに取り外す。
Then, if it is confirmed that the resin valve 30 is securely in contact with the resin flow path block 20, the resin valve 30 is attached to two mounting through holes 313 and 23 on the other diagonal line to which the jig screw 80 is not attached. The male screw 90 is inserted, the tip of the male screw 90 is screwed into the female screw hole 41 of the base plate 40, and the resin valve 30 is tightened to the resin flow path block 20 and the base plate 40 with a prescribed torque (until the claims up to this point). Equivalent to the third step of the range).
Thereafter, the pressing bolt 71 is reversely rotated to release the pressed state, the mounting bracket 60 is rotated clockwise in plan view, and the cutout portion 611 of the male screw head receiving portion 61 is moved to the small diameter portion of the jig screw 80. By escaping from 85, the mounting bracket 60 is removed together with the pressing means 70 from the jig screw 80.

その後、2本の治具ネジ80を逆回転させることによりベースプレート40の雌ネジ孔41および取付用貫通孔23、313から外し、空いた2個の取付用貫通孔23、313に取付雄ネジ90を挿入して雌ネジ孔41に螺合させて締め付ける。これにより、新たな樹脂製バルブ30が樹脂製流路ブロック20を介してベースプレート40に取り付けられ、その交換が終了し、薬液弁が取り付けられたこととなる。   Thereafter, the two jig screws 80 are reversely rotated to be removed from the female screw hole 41 and the mounting through holes 23 and 313 of the base plate 40, and the mounting male screws 90 are inserted into the two empty mounting through holes 23 and 313. Is inserted into the female screw hole 41 and tightened. As a result, a new resin valve 30 is attached to the base plate 40 via the resin flow path block 20, the exchange is completed, and the chemical valve is attached.

よって、本第1の実施の形態の薬液弁取付方法は、棒状の治具ボルト80を予め樹脂製流路ブロック20ならびにベースプレート40に立設しておき、治具ボルト80により樹脂製バルブ30を案内でき、治具ボルト80の頭部に押圧手段70を含む取付用ブラケット60に設けた雄ネジ頭受け部61の切欠き部611をワンタッチで係合できるようにしたものである。   Therefore, in the chemical valve mounting method of the first embodiment, the rod-shaped jig bolt 80 is erected on the resin flow path block 20 and the base plate 40 in advance, and the resin valve 30 is moved by the jig bolt 80. The notch 611 of the male screw head receiving portion 61 provided on the mounting bracket 60 including the pressing means 70 on the head of the jig bolt 80 can be engaged with one touch.

つぎに、薬液弁10の樹脂製バルブ30を交換する際の取付方法の第2の実施の形態について説明する。この第2の実施の形態では、交換する樹脂製バルブ30や樹脂製流路ブロック20ならびにベースプレート40は第1の実施の形態のものと全く同一であり、交換作業に用いる治具のみが異なるので、この相違部分を説明する。
この第2の実施の形態では、治具は、図9に示すような取付用ブラケット260と、図10に示す治具ネジ280と、押圧手段70として第1の実施の形態と同一の押し付けボルト71とを使用する。
Next, a second embodiment of the mounting method when the resin valve 30 of the chemical liquid valve 10 is replaced will be described. In the second embodiment, the resin valve 30 to be replaced, the resin channel block 20 and the base plate 40 are exactly the same as those in the first embodiment, and only the jig used for the replacement work is different. This difference will be described.
In the second embodiment, the jig is a mounting bracket 260 as shown in FIG. 9, a jig screw 280 shown in FIG. 10, and the same pressing bolt as the first embodiment as the pressing means 70. 71 is used.

取付用ブラケット260は、形状は第1の実施の形態の取付用ブラケット60と同様に、平面視で中央が円形に膨らんだ中央円形部263と、該中央円形部263から対称に突出した雄ネジ頭受け部261とを備えた金属厚板で成形されたものである。
中央円形部263の中央には、第1の実施の形態と同一の押圧手段70としての大径の押付けボルト71が螺合される雌ネジ孔2631が設けられている。雄ネジ頭受け部261には、前記ベースプレート40に設けられた4個の雌ネジ孔41の対角線上の距離と同一の距離で、治具ネジ280の一般部の外径よりわずかに大きい内径の孔部2611が成形されている。
The mounting bracket 260 is similar in shape to the mounting bracket 60 of the first embodiment, and has a central circular portion 263 whose center swells circularly in plan view and a male screw that protrudes symmetrically from the central circular portion 263. It is formed of a thick metal plate having a head receiving portion 261.
In the center of the central circular portion 263, a female screw hole 2631 into which a large-diameter pressing bolt 71 as the pressing means 70 identical to that of the first embodiment is screwed is provided. The male screw head receiving portion 261 has an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the general portion of the jig screw 280 at the same distance as the diagonal distance of the four female screw holes 41 provided in the base plate 40. A hole 2611 is formed.

治具ネジ280は、一般外径部ならびに下端の雄ネジ部2811が第1の実施の形態の治具ネジ80と同一で、上端にボルト頭部287を備えるものである。一般外径部の下端と雄ネジ部2811の上端との間に下部段付部281が形成され、この下部段付部281とボルト頭部287の下面との距離L2が第1の実施の形態の治具ネジ80の同じ位置の距離L1と同一の長さに設定されている。   The jig screw 280 has a general outer diameter portion and a lower end male screw portion 2811 that are the same as the jig screw 80 of the first embodiment, and includes a bolt head 287 at the upper end. A lower stepped portion 281 is formed between the lower end of the general outer diameter portion and the upper end of the male screw portion 2811, and a distance L2 between the lower stepped portion 281 and the lower surface of the bolt head portion 287 is the first embodiment. The jig screw 80 is set to the same length as the distance L1 at the same position.

以上のように構成された第2の実施の形態の治具ネジ280と取付用ブラケット260ならびに押圧手段70を用いて、薬液弁10の樹脂製バルブ30を交換する際の取付方法について説明する。
予め、取付用ブラケット260の孔部2611に治具ネジ280を差し込み、その後、押付けボルト71を雌ネジ孔2631に螺合させておく。また、新たな樹脂製バルブ30の取付用貫通孔313に治具ネジ280の一般外径部を差し込んでおく。
そして、図11に示すように、2本の治具ネジ280の下端の雄ネジ部2811を、樹脂製バルブ30の対角線上にある取付用貫通孔313と樹脂製流路ブロック20の対角線上にある取付用貫通孔23に差し込み、樹脂製バルブ30の下面ポート315に仮付けされているガスケット50が樹脂製流路ブロック20の上面ポート25に接触して止まるまで載置してベースプレート40の雌ネジ孔41に治具ネジ280の下部段付部281がベースプレート40の上面に当接して止まるまで螺合させる(ここまでが特許請求の範囲の第1工程に相当)。
A mounting method when replacing the resin valve 30 of the chemical valve 10 using the jig screw 280, the mounting bracket 260, and the pressing means 70 of the second embodiment configured as described above will be described.
The jig screw 280 is inserted into the hole 2611 of the mounting bracket 260 in advance, and then the pressing bolt 71 is screwed into the female screw hole 2631. Further, the general outer diameter portion of the jig screw 280 is inserted into the mounting through-hole 313 of the new resin valve 30.

Thereafter, the pressing bolt 71 is reversely rotated to release the pressed state, and the bolt head 287 of the jig screw 280 is reversely rotated to be removed from the female screw hole 41 of the base plate 40, and the resin flow path block 20 is attached. The mounting bracket 60 is removed together with the pressing means 70 by letting it escape from the through hole 23 for mounting and the mounting through hole 313 for the resin valve 30.

そして、空いた2個の取付用貫通孔23、313に取付雄ネジ90を挿入して雌ネジ孔41に螺合させて締め付ける。これにより、新たな樹脂製バルブ30が樹脂製流路ブロック20およびベースプレート40に取り付けられ、その交換が終了する。   Then, the mounting male screw 90 is inserted into the two open mounting through holes 23, 313, screwed into the female screw hole 41, and tightened. Thus, a new resin valve 30 is attached to the resin flow path block 20 and the base plate 40, and the exchange is completed.

よって、本第2の実施の形態の薬液弁取付方法は、ボルト状の治具ネジ280を予め取付用ブラケット260の孔部2611に挿通して、これに押圧手段70としての押付けボルト71を螺合しておくので、治具の持ち込みを一度にできるようにしたものである。   Therefore, in the chemical valve mounting method of the second embodiment, a bolt-shaped jig screw 280 is inserted into the hole 2611 of the mounting bracket 260 in advance, and the pressing bolt 71 as the pressing means 70 is screwed into this. Since they are combined, the jig can be brought in at once.

つぎに、薬液弁10の樹脂製バルブ30を交換する際の取付方法の第3の実施の形態について説明する。この第3の実施の形態に用いる治具は、治具ネジ380と、該治具ネジ380の頭部に螺合される雄ネジボルト387と、押圧手段70としての押付けボルト71を備えた取付用ブラケット360とからなる。

The distance L3 between the lower stepped portion 381 and the upper surface of the jig screw 380 is the same as that of the first embodiment. It is set shorter than the distance L1 at the same position of the jig screw 80 by the thickness of the mounting bracket 360.

雄ネジボルト387は、ボルト頭部3871と、その下部に雄ネジ部3873とを有する金属製ボルトである。
取付用ブラケット360は、第2の実施の形態の取付用ブラケット260に設けられた孔部2611の径をわずかに小さくして孔部3611としたもので、その他の構成は第2の実施の形態の取付用ブラケット260と同一である。
The male screw bolt 387 is a metal bolt having a bolt head portion 3871 and a male screw portion 3873 at a lower portion thereof.
The mounting bracket 360 is obtained by slightly reducing the diameter of the hole 2611 provided in the mounting bracket 260 of the second embodiment to form a hole 3611. Other configurations are the same as those of the second embodiment. The mounting bracket 260 is the same.

以上のように構成された第3の実施の形態の治具ネジ380と雄ネジボルト387と取付用ブラケット360ならびに押圧手段70とを用いて、薬液弁10の樹脂製バルブ30を交換する際の取付方法について説明する。
まず、図13に示すように、2本の治具ネジ380の下端の雄ネジ部3811を、樹脂製流路ブロック20の対角線上にある取付用貫通孔23に差し込み、ベースプレート40の雌ネジ孔41に治具ネジ380の下部段付部381がベースプレート40の上面に当接して止まるまで螺合させる。したがって、この状態では、2本の治具ネジ380が樹脂製流路ブロック20から突出していることになる。
Using the jig screw 380, the male screw bolt 387, the mounting bracket 360, and the pressing means 70 of the third embodiment configured as described above, mounting when the resin valve 30 of the chemical valve 10 is replaced A method will be described.
