The present invention relates to an atmospheric-pressure plasma head with uniform gas distribution and high input impedance, and more particularly to an atmospheric-pressure plasma head having a gas distribution flow path for gas injection and even distribution, The plasma processing apparatus according to any one of
2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a plasma generating apparatus is used for depositing or patterning a structure implemented in a semiconductor or a liquid crystal display (LCD).
Plasma refers to the state of an ionized gas consisting of ions, electrons, radicals and the like, which are generated by high temperature, strong electric fields or RF electromagnetic fields.
In particular, plasma generation by glow discharge is caused by free electrons excited by direct current or high frequency electromagnetic fields. Excited free electrons collide with gas molecules to generate active species such as ions, radicals, and electrons do. Such active groups act on the surface of a material physically or chemically to change the characteristics of the surface. Such surface treatment by intentionally changing the surface property of a substance by an active group is referred to as surface treatment. Normally, surface treatment by plasma refers to cleaning or etching of a surface of a substance using a reactive substance in a plasma state.
This plasma processing method can also classify the atmospheric pressure within the chamber in which the plasma state is formed. If a discharge plasma is generated under a pressure near the atmospheric pressure (atmospheric pressure) The apparatus for generating a plasma under a pressure near atmospheric pressure to perform surface treatment is called an atmospheric plasma generating apparatus or an atmospheric plasma processing apparatus.
The above-mentioned atmospheric plasma generating apparatus is divided into a direct plasma generating apparatus and a remote plasma generating apparatus in accordance with the position of a plate to which a high frequency is applied. In the dual direct plasma generating apparatus, This is a method in which the plates are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate requiring surface treatment, and is advantageously used in the industry because it has less damage to the metal wiring due to the gas in the plasma state.
1 is a perspective view of a conventional atmospheric plasma generating apparatus in which a high-
In the atmospheric plasma generator, a high frequency is transmitted from a high frequency output device, and a matcher is connected between the high frequency output device and the atmospheric plasma generating device. The matching device reverses the high frequency output from the high frequency output device, The impedance matching between the high-frequency output device and the atmospheric-pressure plasma generating device is matched to reduce the possibility of damaging the high-frequency output device due to the reduced efficiency or the deteriorated reflected wave power. It is possible to supply a high frequency wave of the optimum quality to the load by eliminating the reverse feedback of the reflected wave power.
In the structure of the head of the conventional atmospheric plasma generator, an atmospheric-pressure plasma working tube in which an electrode made of a round bar is completely inserted into a circular quartz tube or an electrode dielectric tube in the form of a ceramic tube is inserted into the inside of the atmospheric plasma head body It is a method of putting and assembling.
However, a capacitor capacitance value C between these areas and the electrode dielectric tube and between the area of the inside of the atmospheric plasma body and the electrode dielectric tube is calculated based on the following equation, The contact area between the inside of the body enclosing the working tube and the working tube increases as the worker's length increases.
(Equation 1)
C = ε. * K * S / d (ε = dielectric constant in vacuum, k = dielectric constant, S = contact area, d = contact distance)
Here, in order to increase the input impedance of the plasma head, the capacitance value (C) must be reduced.
This conventional atmospheric plasma has a problem that the longer the length of the atmospheric plasma head is, the more uniform distribution of the gas supplied to the head and the increase of the capacitance value of the internal input capacitors cause the lowering of the impedance, I had a problem.
Further, in the case of a high-frequency atmospheric pressure plasma generator, the impedance is remarkably low, so that a high temperature is extremely generated in the high frequency input cable connecting the output terminal of the matching device and the input terminal of the atmospheric plasma generator, A large amount of high frequency power has been lost.
This is because the large current flows into the atmospheric plasma generating apparatus, causing a problem. The larger the capacity is, the more serious it becomes and the plasma discharge becomes difficult. In order to solve such a problem, the input impedance of the atmospheric plasma head has been increased.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to overcome the above-mentioned conventional problems in the atmospheric pressure plasma head, and improves the impedance of the atmospheric pressure plasma head itself which produces uniform distribution of the gas and plasma.
In addition, in the conventional method, a plurality of gas distribution pipes or the like installed at regular intervals, which are protruded from the upper end, are filled in the inside of the atmospheric plasma head for uniform distribution of the gas.
The present invention also provides a configuration of an atmospheric pressure plasma head device in which a matching device is installed on the upper end of the atmospheric plasma to integrate the same with the plasma head, and an impedance booster is installed to further increase the input impedance of the plasma head.
The present invention for solving the above problems resides in that the gas flow path inside the atmospheric pressure plasma head is solved by increasing the input impedance by arranging the dual distribution flow path and changing the structure of the plasma working tube. And the input impedance of the atmospheric plasma head.
Further, in the gas-even distribution of the atmospheric-pressure plasma head having a long length, a double-distributing gas flow passage is disposed inside the atmospheric-pressure plasma head without providing additional gas- Is an arrangement of an atmospheric pressure plasma head which allows the devices such as the matching device to be attached.
At this time, since the large-area high frequency atmospheric pressure plasma head has a very long length, the even distribution of the gas corresponding to the long length is the key. To this end, the gas is supplied at the center of the high-frequency atmospheric pressure plasma head, the gas is divided and distributed at a constant interval by the pressure difference of the gas flow using the primary and secondary gas hole rows, and then flows into narrow and long passages And the plasma is uniformly distributed in the longitudinal direction of the high frequency atmospheric pressure plasma head.
In addition, a configuration of an atmospheric pressure plasma head is provided in which all of the gas flow paths are laid in the high-frequency atmospheric pressure plasma head, and a space for installing an impedance booster, an impedance matching device, and an analysis sensor can be secured.
A method of reducing the capacitance of a plasma electrode having an electrode dielectric and an electrode as a whole, includes the steps of removing a part of the electrode in a longitudinal direction of the electrode dielectric, The capacitance value C is reduced by the principle that the value of the dielectric constant in the air, which is much smaller than the dielectric of the electrode dielectric tube, is filled in the electrode dielectric tube by a part of the spaced apart space, A method for solving the above problems, and a method for removing a part of the inner wall of the atmospheric plasma head body surrounding the electrode dielectric tube into which the electrode conductor is inserted, in a longitudinal direction to separate a contact distance between the electrode conductor and the inner wall of the atmospheric pressure plasma head body A method for reducing the capacitance value (C) to solve the problem, And a part of the surface area of the electrode conductor enclosed by the electrode dielectric is both removed in the longitudinal direction so that the contact distance between the electrode conductor and the inner wall of the atmospheric pressure plasma head body Thereby reducing the capacitance value (C).
The portion having the spacing distance is located at the upper end as opposed to the lower end portion where the plasma discharge is performed, thereby increasing the high frequency current density in the plasma discharge portion, thereby increasing the plasma density and facilitating the discharge.
The atmospheric pressure plasma generator of the present invention having the above-described structure suppresses the heat generation of the high frequency input cable connecting the output terminal of the matching device and the high frequency input terminal of the head to prevent burnout of the high frequency input cable, It is possible to stably operate the generator and to make the high-frequency input cable available as a material with good flexibility, so that the operating line of the atmospheric plasma generator can be enlarged.
In addition, the atmospheric pressure plasma generating apparatus of the present invention is characterized in that the gas is supplied to the working tube through the respective flow paths of the upper block, the first lower block, and the second lower block so that gas is directly transferred to the working tube, The plasma is uniformly flowed in the vertical direction, and the plasma can be stably produced through the flow of the uniform gas.
The atmospheric pressure plasma head according to the present invention is characterized in that in order to obtain a uniformly distributed plasma discharge in the atmospheric pressure plasma head having a long length, it is preferable to distribute the gas evenly in the longitudinal direction thereof, to increase the input impedance of the atmospheric pressure plasma head having a long length, It is possible to secure a space for installing an impedance booster or an impedance matcher on the upper portion of the atmospheric plasma head.
