(b) Background of the Technology Chemical reaction devices such as low pressure CVD, plasma CVD, plasma etching, and reactive ion etching are usually used as devices for chemically forming thin films or circuit patterns on integrated circuit substrates, etc. In this type of apparatus, a reaction chamber is kept in a vacuum state, and a reaction gas is continuously introduced into one side of the reaction chamber and exhausted from the other side. For this reason, an exhaust device is provided for sucking out the gas in the reaction processing chamber to keep the inside of the processing chamber in a vacuum state and for exhausting the reaction gas. Since some reaction gases are corrosive, a water ring vacuum pump is used, and an exhaust system is used which is constructed by combining this with an air ejector. When exhausting reactive gases that react with moisture and easily decompose, examples include tungsten fluoride (WF 6 ), titanium chloride (Ticl 4 ), boron chloride (Bcl 3 ), silicon chloride (Sicl 4 ),
Solids produced by the reaction of moisture with reaction gases such as germanium chloride (Gecl 4 ) and aluminum chloride (Alcl 3 ) adhere to the inner wall of the air ejector and obstruct the flow of the reaction gas to be discharged. An exhaust system is provided that includes a cleaning water supply mechanism for removal.

(c) Prior art and problems Figure 1 is a block diagram of a conventional chemical reaction gas exhaust system with a cleaning water supply mechanism, and Figure 2 shows the main parts of the air ejector and water ring vacuum pump shown in Figure 1. FIG. In FIG. 1, one end of a first exhaust conduit 3 equipped with an on-off valve 3a is connected to an exhaust port 2 of a reaction processing chamber 1, and the other end is connected to a suction port of a first vacuum pump 4. is connected to a second vacuum pump 5 via a second exhaust conduit 6, and the second vacuum pump 5 is further connected to an air ejector 7 via a third exhaust conduit 8 provided with an on-off valve 8a. The connection part is provided with an O-ring 16 for blocking outside air. The air ejector 7 is connected to a water ring vacuum pump 9. A Roots-type blower (also known as a mechanical booster) is generally used for the first vacuum pump 4 and the second vacuum pump 5. The second vacuum pump 5 and the first vacuum pump 4 sequentially reduce the pressure in a multistage manner, but the water ring type vacuum pump 9 cannot reduce the pressure below the vapor pressure of the sealed water, and its ultimate pressure (achieved vacuum degree) is When the water is 15℃
It is about 20 Torr. For example, the ultimate pressure of each vacuum pump in the exhaust system shown in Fig. 1 is approximately 20 Torr for the water ring vacuum pump 9, approximately 6 Torr for the air ejector,
The pressure in the second vacuum pump is approximately 0.5 Torr, and the pressure in the first vacuum pump is approximately 0.03 Torr. Therefore, the inside of the reaction processing chamber 1 is approximately
It will be maintained at a vacuum level of 0.03 Torr. A branch conduit 11 for supplying cleaning water is branched to an air supply conduit 10 disposed above the air ejector 7, and a first on-off valve 13 is further provided in the upstream direction of the branch part 12 as shown in the figure.
A wash water supply mechanism including a second on-off valve 14 is provided. The cleaning water supply mechanism is operated by opening and closing valves 8a, 13, and 14, as shown in FIG. First, open the on-off valves 8a and 13, and then open the on-off valve 14.
By closing the reactor gas, the reaction gas is exhausted. The air sucked into the air supply conduit 10 flows from the jet nozzle 15 through the throat part 7a of the air ejector 7 at supersonic speed, and then flows through the diffuser part 7b while expanding adiabatically, sucking the discharged reaction gas and flowing into the diffuser part 7b. It flows toward the water ring type vacuum pump 9 together with the water vapor of the seal water. In this case, a portion of the water vapor flows back and enters the inner walls of the diffuser section and the throat section, where it chemically reacts with the discharged reaction gas to produce solid matter, which adheres and accumulates within the inner walls. For example , when exhausting the reactive gas of Bcl 3 (boron chloride), this gas reacts with water vapor, resulting in B 2 O 3 ( oxidized (Boron) and HCl (Hydrogen Chloride) are produced, and since this HCl is a gas, it is emitted.
B 2 O 3 is deposited as a solid. In order to remove this solid matter, the on-off valves 8a and 13 are closed while the water ring vacuum pump 9 is operated, and the second on-off valve 14 is closed.
By opening the air ejector 7, cleaning water is injected from the branch conduit 11 and ejected from the ejection nozzle 15, and solid matter adhering to the inner wall of the air ejector 7 is gradually removed in about 1 to 2 minutes by this ejected flow. Then, by closing the second on-off valve 14 and opening the first on-off valve 13, air is ejected from the ejection nozzle 15 to dry the air ejector section. However, this method is not effective in removing solid matter adhering to the vicinity of the jet nozzle 15. When the processing device is used continuously, solid matter is generated in the diffuser section 7b and the float section 7a.
Furthermore, an effective means is required for removing the solid matter that is sequentially deposited up to the vicinity of the jet nozzle 15 and generated in the vicinity of the jet nozzle 15.
