[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial application field" The present invention relates to a quartz glass tube heater formed by housing a heating wire in a quartz glass tube, and in particular, the invention relates to a quartz glass tube heater that is formed by housing a heating wire in a quartz glass tube. This article relates to improvements in quartz glass tube heaters used for heating purposes.

"Conventional technology" In various semiconductor manufacturing processes that traditionally involve cleaning and wet etching of semiconductor wafers,
A heater for temperature adjustment is disposed in a processing tank in which the cleaning liquid or etching chemical solution is stored, and the heater is configured to perform efficient cleaning or chemical treatment while controlling the temperature of the cleaning liquid or the like to an appropriate temperature. There is.

Since the heaters used in such manufacturing processes are directly immersed in the cleaning liquid or chemical solution, they must be constructed to maintain chemical stability and prevent impurities from leaching into the chemical solution. A quartz glass tube heater is used in which a heater body made of a hot wire is housed in a quartz glass tube.

``The problem that the invention attempts to solve'' and the heating wires used in such heaters are generally
Ni-Cr-Fe wire or Fe-Cr-Al wire (hereinafter collectively referred to as resistance alloy wire) is used, which is wound into a coil shape. Because the heater is held hollow, the resistance alloy wire often comes into contact with or comes very close to the inner peripheral surface of the quartz glass tube due to swinging of the heater or bending of the quartz glass tube during heater manufacturing. be.

On the other hand, the operating temperature of the resistance alloy wire is 1000~1200℃
In order to reach this temperature, when the contact area is locally heated, distortion occurs in the contact area, and as a result, the quartz glass tube may crack or crack due to the temperature difference with the outer surrounding side. In addition, there were cases where the resistance alloy wire itself was damaged.

When a quartz glass tube breaks or cracks in this way, the cleaning liquid or chemical solution that has entered the glass tube through the cracks comes into contact with the resistance alloy wire, and impurities generated by this contact are eluted and diffused into the processing tank. Not only do these adhere to the wafer surface and cause product defects, but if flammable liquids are used in the cleaning liquid or chemicals, an explosion may occur, which may even lead to a major accident. be.

In order to eliminate this drawback, Utility Model Application No. 63-54294
No. 2, proposes a temperature regulating heater characterized by supplying an inert gas into the quartz glass tube and maintaining the inert gas at a predetermined positive pressure.

However, in this conventional technology, if the alloy wire simply comes into contact with the inner circumferential surface of the glass tube and a crack occurs, cleaning liquid or the like will enter the glass tube because a positive pressure inert gas is maintained inside the glass tube. Therefore, the structure in which the resistance alloy wire is held hollow against the quartz glass tube is completely unchanged from the conventional one, and it basically prevents cracks and cracks in the quartz glass tube. It cannot be prevented.

Therefore, in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, there is a method in which the alloy wire is directly cast into a solid quartz glass tube without being held hollow, and the two are integrally formed, and a heat-resistant ceramic material is used around the alloy wire. However, due to the difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between the quartz glass or heat-resistant ceramic material and the alloy wire, the quartz glass or ceramic material tends to crack or crack during heating or cooling. Incidentally, the above-mentioned drawbacks cannot be solved and it is not practical.

In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention is not a countermeasure for preventing liquid from entering when a quartz glass tube breaks, but a quartz glass that basically can significantly reduce cracks and cracks in the quartz glass tube. The purpose is to provide tube heaters.

Another object of the present invention is to integrally support the alloy wire using a predetermined member without holding the alloy wire hollow, and the support material may be damaged or cracked due to the difference in coefficient of thermal expansion with the alloy wire. The purpose is to provide a quartz glass tube heater that does not cause any problems.

"Means for Solving the Problem" In order to achieve the technical problem, the present invention provides a quartz glass tube heater that accommodates heating wires and is used to raise the temperature of various liquids used in semiconductor manufacturing processes. The quartz glass tube is filled with filler-like quartz glass powder, and the heating wire is supported by the quartz glass powder while maintaining a non-contact state between the inner peripheral surfaces of the quartz glass tube. We suggest a tube heater.

"Function" According to this technical means, the resistance alloy wire is supported by the silica body while maintaining a non-contact state between the inner peripheral surfaces of the quartz glass tube, but the filling of the quartz glass powder is not a rigid body. Rather, it functions as a buffer with a large number of finely interposed air layers, so even if the alloy wire expands and contracts due to heat, it can more effectively absorb and support it. Breakage of the quartz glass tube caused by the thermal expansion can be completely prevented.

又抵抗合金線は中空支持ではなく石英ガラス粉
を介して石英ガラス管と非接触の状態で対峙する
事になる為に、該抵抗合金線の局部加熱に起因す

来る。
In addition, since the resistance alloy wire faces the quartz glass tube in a non-contact state through the quartz glass powder instead of a hollow support, the quartz glass tube may break or crack due to local heating of the resistance alloy wire. Completely preventable.

Furthermore, quartz glass powder can be easily filled into a quartz glass tube, and the quartz glass tube can be arbitrarily bent while filled with the quartz glass powder.
In addition, granular quartz glass powder has a lower rate of adhesion to electrodeposited wires than fibrous ones, and even if some of it does, it will not have a negative effect on thermal efficiency or operability. ,preferable.

又結晶シリカでなくガラス質の石英ガラス粉を
用いる事は次の様な利点がある。
Furthermore, using vitreous quartz glass powder instead of crystalline silica has the following advantages.

即ち、石英ガラス粉は、結晶質シリカに比較し
て赤外線の透過がよく、充填物自体が熱を吸収す

加熱できる。
That is, quartz glass powder transmits infrared rays better than crystalline silica, and can efficiently heat the object outside the quartz glass tube without the filling itself absorbing heat.

特に結晶シリカ粉を用いてその充填物が加熱さ
れる事はその外周側に位置する石英ガラス管にも
熱が伝達して該ガラス管の破損の要因にもなる。
In particular, when the filling is heated using crystalline silica powder, heat is transferred to the quartz glass tube located on the outer peripheral side, which may cause breakage of the glass tube.

電熱線との接触を避ける充填密度を上げた場合に

にこの様な事がない。
In addition, when crystalline silica powder is used to increase the packing density to avoid contact with heating wires even when the quartz glass tube is bent, crystalline silica and quartz glass have different coefficients of thermal expansion. In other words, since crystalline silica has a larger coefficient of thermal expansion, the quartz glass tube will still be damaged, but quartz glass powder has the same coefficient of thermal expansion as quartz glass, so this does not occur.

In particular, the standard particle size of powder filler is 10 to 20 μm.
Because it is formed by flying and pulverizing quartz glass, its outer diameter is generally not spherical but star-shaped or wedge-shaped, so there is always an air layer on the contact surface between the fillers that come and go. As a result, the above effect is further promoted.
