Description
本發明係有關於氣體傳輸裝置與方法,特別是有關於在位於不同電壓之不同氣體容器之間傳輸氣體的裝置與方法。This invention relates to gas delivery devices and methods, and more particularly to devices and methods for transporting gases between different gas containers at different voltages.
半導體製造技術在近年來普遍被應用來製造許多現代產品的不少元件。除了傳統的積體電路製造之外,亦被應用在諸如太陽能電池、液晶面板、發光二極體等等的製造。Semiconductor manufacturing technology has been widely used in recent years to manufacture many components of many modern products. In addition to the conventional integrated circuit fabrication, it is also applied to the manufacture of such as solar cells, liquid crystal panels, light emitting diodes and the like.
半導體製造技術往往需要將某些材料直接形成在底材(substrate)的表面或是打入到底材的表層,也往往需要先讓某些材料相互反應然後將反應形成的新材料形成在某底材的表面或是打入到某底材的表層。舉例來說,離子佈值製程係先將某些材料予以解離,然後將需要的特定離子打入到底材的表層,其中解離與底材可以位於相同或不同的反應室(chamber)。舉例來說,化學氣相沉積製程係先將多種材料輸入到底材所在的反應室中,然後在這些材料進行化學反應產生新的材料之後讓新產生材料沉積在底材表面。Semiconductor manufacturing technology often needs to form certain materials directly on the surface of the substrate or into the surface layer of the substrate. It is also necessary to first react some materials to each other and then form new materials formed by the reaction on a substrate. The surface is either penetrated to the surface of a substrate. For example, the ion cloth value process first dissociates certain materials and then drives the specific ions required into the surface layer of the substrate, where the dissociation and the substrate can be in the same or different chambers. For example, a chemical vapor deposition process involves first feeding a plurality of materials into a reaction chamber in which the substrate is located, and then depositing new materials on the surface of the substrate after chemical reaction of the materials to produce new materials.
現有半導體技術把各種材料傳輸到反應室中的方式,大體有預先內置與外部輸入兩種方式。前者,多是應用在固態材料或液態材料,係先將材料安放在反應室內部某容器內,待需要使用材料時再加熱此容器使此材料昇華或氣化而進入到反應室內部。當然,少數應用也可以是直接將氣態材料放在反應室內某容器中,在有需要時打開容器直接讓氣態材料進入反應室內部。後者,多是應用在氣態材料,係先將氣態材料安放在位於反應室外部的容器中,再在反應室需要使用材料時,透過連接反應室與容器之管線將材料即時輸入到反應室內部。當然,少數應用也可以是將液體材料或固態材料安放在位於反應室外部的容器中,再在反應示需要材料時,加熱容器讓材料昇華或氣化,然後透過連接反應室與容器之管線將已昇華或已氣化之材料即時輸入到反應室內部。Existing semiconductor technologies transfer various materials into the reaction chamber in a manner that is generally pre-built and externally input. The former is mostly applied to solid materials or liquid materials. The materials are first placed in a container inside the reaction chamber. When the materials are needed, the container is heated to sublimate or vaporize the material into the reaction chamber. Of course, a few applications may also be to directly place the gaseous material in a container in the reaction chamber, and open the container directly to allow the gaseous material to enter the reaction chamber when necessary. The latter, mostly applied to gaseous materials, first places the gaseous material in a container located outside the reaction chamber, and when the reaction chamber needs to use materials, the material is immediately input into the reaction chamber through a pipeline connecting the reaction chamber and the container. Of course, a few applications may also be to place a liquid material or a solid material in a container located outside the reaction chamber, and when the reaction indicates that the material is needed, the container is heated to sublimate or vaporize the material, and then through the pipeline connecting the reaction chamber to the container. Sublimated or vaporized materials are instantly input into the reaction chamber.
一般來說,預先內置的方式需要在更換或補充材料時打開反應室,增加操作複雜度同時也降低整體的產出(throughput),而且位於反應室內部之材料容器也增加了反應室出現污染與故障的危險。因此,除非無法用外部輸入方式來有效地提供所需材料,一般半導體製程都是使用外部供應的方式來提供反應室所需要的種種材料。In general, the pre-built method requires opening the reaction chamber when replacing or replenishing materials, increasing the complexity of the operation while also reducing the overall throughput, and the material container inside the reaction chamber also increases the contamination of the reaction chamber. The danger of failure. Therefore, unless an external input method cannot be used to effectively provide the required material, a general semiconductor process uses an external supply to provide various materials required for the reaction chamber.
實務上,為了提昇反應室內製程的效率,許多材料都是以氣態材料的形式被提供到反應室內,不論是一開始就是以氣態的形式被儲存,會是先以固態或液態的形式來儲存再於需要時予以加熱或昇華成氣態形式。傳統作法多如第一A圖所示,這些氣態材料是放在與反應室14位於同一台製程設備10內之氣體容器12中,而氣體容器12透過管線16連接到反應室中。藉由控制管線16上閥18的開關程度,便可以控制氣態材料被傳輸到反應室內14的時間與流量等。當然,若需要多種氣態材料,製程設備10內便有由多個管線16分別連接至反應室14的多個氣體容器12。亦即,不同的氣態材料係存放在不同氣體容器中,再視製程設備中不同製程的需要,將適當的氣體容器放入製程設備並連接至管線。近來,隨著自動化設備與系統整合技術的進步,如第一B圖所示之作法亦不罕見,在一整個廠區中或至少一個生產區域中的多個製程設備,同一種氣態材料係由廠務端的中央氣體容器120統一供應,透過中央管線160與中央閥180統一控制此氣態材料被提供到各個製程設備101~109的時間與流量。各個製程設備101~109皆有其各自的反應室141~149,並有其各自的管線161~169與各自的閥181~189,藉以分別控制自中央管線160進入各個反應室141~149的氣態材料之時間與流量等。當然,第一B 圖所畫之九台製程設備101~109僅為示意實際數量係視實際需要而定,並且不同的氣態材料往往是由不同的中央管線160以及各機台101~109內部多個不同管線161~169來傳輸,藉以減少污染的發生。In practice, in order to improve the efficiency of the process in the reaction chamber, many materials are supplied to the reaction chamber in the form of gaseous materials. Whether they are stored in the form of a gaseous state at the beginning, they are first stored in solid or liquid form. Heat or sublime into a gaseous form as needed. Conventionally, as shown in Figure A, these gaseous materials are placed in a gas container 12 located in the same process apparatus 10 as the reaction chamber 14, and the gas container 12 is connected to the reaction chamber through a line 16. By controlling the degree of switching of the valve 18 on the line 16, it is possible to control the time and flow rate at which the gaseous material is delivered to the reaction chamber 14. Of course, if a plurality of gaseous materials are required, the process apparatus 10 has a plurality of gas containers 12 connected to the reaction chamber 14 by a plurality of lines 16 respectively. That is, different gaseous materials are stored in different gas containers, and appropriate gas containers are placed in the process equipment and connected to the pipelines, depending on the needs of different processes in the process equipment. Recently, with the advancement of automation equipment and system integration technology, the method shown in Figure B is not uncommon. Multiple process equipment in an entire plant area or in at least one production area, the same gaseous material system is used. The central gas container 120 is uniformly supplied through the central line 160 and the central valve 180 to control the time and flow rate of the gaseous material supplied to the respective process devices 101-109. Each of the process devices 101-109 has its own reaction chambers 141-149, and has its own pipelines 161-169 and respective valves 181-189, thereby controlling the gaseous state entering the reaction chambers 141-149 from the central pipeline 160, respectively. Material time and flow rate, etc. Of course, the nine process devices 101-109 drawn in the first B diagram are only for the actual number, depending on the actual needs, and different gaseous materials are often composed of different central pipelines 160 and internal machines 101-109. A different pipeline 161~169 is transmitted to reduce the occurrence of pollution.
現有之氣態材料傳輸技術,仍有一些問題待克服。舉例來說,由於反應室14之電壓會隨著所進行製程之不同而變化,像是離子佈植機內部作為離子源之反應室往往會在一個機動調整的高電壓而位於離子佈植機內部之氣體容器12往往是位在一個固定的低電壓,因此不只氣態材料可能被管線16兩端電壓差給解離成電漿而損傷管線16,管線16兩端電壓差也可能直接損傷管線16進而導致氣體材料的外洩。進一步地,在諸如第一B圖所示的狀況中,不同製程設備101~109與中央氣體容器120各自的電壓也可能不一樣,導致中央管線160與各個管線161~169都可以被電壓差所損傷,進而導致氣態材料的外洩。除此之外,由於各製程設備於運作時難免會發出的震動,以及整個工廠偶而會遇到的諸如地震或是大型物體移動所引發的震動與碰撞等,中央管線160與各個管線161~169都有可能因此鬆脫或甚至出現裂縫等等損傷,甚至會因此出現氣體材料外洩的問題。由於半導體製程所使用的材料有不少是有毒的、有腐蝕性或是高化學活性的,氣體材料的外洩不僅會引起材料浪費以及反應室內製程不精確的問題,還有可能引起周遭硬體設備的損毀以及操作人員的傷亡。There are still some problems to be overcome in the existing gaseous material transmission technology. For example, since the voltage of the reaction chamber 14 varies with the process being performed, a reaction chamber such as an ion implanter as an ion source tends to be inside a ion implanter at a maneuverably adjusted high voltage. The gas container 12 is often located at a fixed low voltage, so that not only the gaseous material may be dissociated into a plasma by the voltage difference across the pipeline 16 to damage the pipeline 16, and the voltage difference across the pipeline 16 may directly damage the pipeline 16 and thereby cause The leakage of gaseous materials. Further, in a situation such as that shown in FIG. B, the voltages of the respective process devices 101-109 and the central gas container 120 may also be different, so that the central line 160 and each of the lines 161-169 may be subjected to a voltage difference. Damage, which in turn leads to the leakage of gaseous materials. In addition, the central pipeline 160 and the various pipelines 161~169 are inevitable due to the vibrations that will be inevitable during the operation of the various process equipments, as well as the vibrations and collisions caused by earthquakes or the movement of large objects that the entire factory occasionally encounters. There may be damage such as looseness or even cracks, and even the leakage of gaseous materials may occur. Since many materials used in semiconductor manufacturing processes are toxic, corrosive or highly chemically active, the leakage of gaseous materials not only causes material waste and inaccurate process in the reaction chamber, but also may cause surrounding hardware. Damage to the equipment and casualties of the operator.
有鑑於此,本發明提供一種氣體傳輸裝置及方法,藉以改進習知氣體傳輸裝置常見之上述問題。In view of the above, the present invention provides a gas transmission apparatus and method for improving the above-mentioned problems common to conventional gas transmission apparatuses.
本發明提出氣體傳輸裝置與氣體傳輸方法,用於在位於第一電壓之第一氣體容器與位於第二電壓之第二氣體容器之間傳輸氣體。The present invention provides a gas delivery device and a gas delivery method for transporting gas between a first gas container at a first voltage and a second gas container at a second voltage.
在一些實施例,這個氣體傳輸裝置至少包含相互機械性串聯的電性絕緣管線與波型管。電性絕緣管線係以電性絕緣材料所製成之管狀結構,氣體係在此管狀結構的內部流動,而電性絕緣材料可以隔絕其兩側的電壓差。通常,電性絕緣材料的重點在於高絕緣係數等電性性質而不在於彈性與延展性等機械性性質,因此整個氣體傳輸裝置所承受的震動與扭曲等,係透過波型管來吸收化解。 當然,若震動與扭曲等的影響不大或甚至可以忽略時,某些實施例並沒有波型管。In some embodiments, the gas delivery device comprises at least an electrically insulated line and a bellows mechanically coupled in series. The electrically insulated pipeline is a tubular structure made of an electrically insulating material in which the gas system flows, and the electrically insulating material can isolate the voltage difference between the two sides. Generally, the electrical insulating material focuses on the electrical properties such as high insulation coefficient and not on mechanical properties such as elasticity and ductility. Therefore, the vibration and distortion of the entire gas transmission device are absorbed and resolved by the wave tube. Of course, some embodiments do not have a wave tube if the effects of vibration and distortion are small or even negligible.
在不同實施例,氣體傳輸裝置所具有的電性絕緣管線之數目與波型管之數目,都沒有限定而是視實際需要而定。舉例來說,當此氣體傳輸裝置是應用在廠務端之中央氣體容器與廠區中某台製程設備內某個反應室之間傳輸氣體時,配合整個廠區的隔間設計、管線配置與不同機台之個別規格,整個氣體傳輸裝置可能會經過多次轉彎,也可能會經過多個震動來源。此時,可以在每個轉彎處與每個震動來源處都都安排一或多個波型管,來吸收可能的震動與扭曲。相對應地,可以在相鄰的波型管之間都安排電性絕緣管線,藉以在相鄰波型管之間都電性隔離掉其電壓差。但也可以只在直接與中央氣體容器以及製程設備內反應室接觸處安放電性絕緣管線,其它地方則視需要彈性地使用電性絕緣管線或是一般的氣體管線。In various embodiments, the number of electrically insulated pipelines and the number of corrugated tubes possessed by the gas transmission device are not limited but are determined according to actual needs. For example, when the gas transmission device is used to transfer gas between a central gas container at the factory end and a reaction chamber in a process equipment in the plant, the compartment design, pipeline configuration and different machines of the entire plant area are used. The individual gas transmission devices may undergo multiple turns and may pass through multiple sources of vibration. At this point, one or more corrugated tubes can be placed at each turn and at each source of vibration to absorb possible vibrations and distortions. Correspondingly, an electrically insulated pipeline can be arranged between adjacent corrugated tubes, so that the voltage difference between the adjacent corrugated tubes is electrically isolated. However, it is also possible to install a discharge insulated line only in direct contact with the central gas container and the reaction chamber in the process equipment. In other places, an electrically insulated line or a general gas line may be used elastically as needed.
在某些實施例,電性絕緣管線之長度係不短於一臨界長度,藉以確保傳輸通過電性管線之氣體不會在電性絕緣管線中被解離為電漿。此臨界長度係取決於電性絕緣管線兩側之兩個氣體容器之間的電壓差上限,以及電性絕緣管線內氣體之壓力下限。當然,當氣體傳輸裝置有多個電性絕緣管線時,任一電性絕緣管線之臨界長度則係取決於此電性絕緣管線二側所直接連接之電壓差上線,以及電性絕緣管線內氣體之壓力下限。In some embodiments, the length of the electrically insulated pipeline is not shorter than a critical length to ensure that the gas passing through the electrical conduit is not dissociated into plasma in the electrically insulated pipeline. This critical length depends on the upper limit of the voltage difference between the two gas containers on both sides of the electrically insulated pipeline and the lower pressure limit of the gas in the electrically insulated pipeline. Of course, when the gas transmission device has a plurality of electrically insulated pipelines, the critical length of any of the electrically insulated pipelines depends on the voltage difference directly connected to the two sides of the electrically insulated pipeline, and the gas in the electrically insulated pipeline. The lower pressure limit.
在某些實施例,為了處理電性絕緣管線若發生氣體外洩時的問題,係將電性絕緣管線所在之封閉空間連接到一抽氣裝置(如幫浦/pump),或甚至將抽氣裝置之進氣口直接安放在電性絕緣管線之附近,藉以將外洩氣體帶走,以減少附近其它硬體設備或甚至是操作人員受到影響之副作用。進一步地,在某些實施例,電性絕緣管線為由內部電性絕緣管線與外部電性絕緣管線所組成之雙層結構,內部電性絕緣管線係由電性絕緣材料所形成之管線,而外部電性絕緣管線圍繞此內部電性絕緣管線並也可由電性絕緣材料所形成。藉此,正常狀況下氣體係流經此內部電性絕緣管線而由位於第一電壓之第一氣體容器被傳輸至位於第二電壓之第二氣體容器。但若此內部電性絕緣管線發生氣體外洩的問題時,外部電性絕緣管線的存在可以阻止外洩氣體進一步地擴散以減少氣體外洩的副作用,特別是若介於內部電性絕緣管線與外部電性絕緣管線之間的空間係連接到一抽氣裝置時,更可以直接將外洩氣體給抽走。In some embodiments, in order to deal with the problem of gas leakage when the electrically insulated pipeline is leaked, the enclosed space in which the electrically insulated pipeline is located is connected to an air extracting device (such as a pump/pump), or even a pumping gas. The air inlet of the device is placed directly adjacent to the electrically insulated pipeline to carry the exhaust gas away to reduce the side effects of other nearby hardware devices or even operators. Further, in some embodiments, the electrically insulated pipeline is a two-layer structure composed of an internal electrically insulated pipeline and an external electrically insulated pipeline, and the internal electrically insulated pipeline is a pipeline formed of an electrically insulating material, and An external electrically insulated pipeline surrounds the internal electrically insulated pipeline and may also be formed of an electrically insulating material. Thereby, under normal conditions, the gas system flows through the internal electrically insulated pipeline and is transported by the first gas container at the first voltage to the second gas container at the second voltage. However, if the internal electrically insulated pipeline has a problem of gas leakage, the presence of the external electrically insulated pipeline can prevent the leakage gas from further diffusing to reduce the side effect of the gas leakage, especially if the internal electrically insulated pipeline is When the space between the external electrically insulated pipelines is connected to an air suction device, the leakage gas can be directly pumped away.
在某些實施例,氣體傳輸裝置還擁有一個電阻分壓電路。這是由於波型管的電壓可能受到氣體傳輸裝置兩端兩個氣體容器之電壓差的影響,特別是直接電性連接某個氣體容器之波型管的電壓可能會隨著此氣體容器之電壓變化而有一個高電壓。然而,通常為金屬材料所製成的波型管在高電壓時可能會發生放電或是金屬電解等的問題。因此,電阻分壓電路被應用來調控波型管電壓的上限。在某些實施例,電阻分壓電路的兩端分別電性連接到氣體傳輸裝置兩端兩個氣體容器,而電阻分壓電路的中間係電性連接到某個波型管,藉以限制波型管之電壓係介於兩個氣體容器之電壓的中間。在某些實施例,電阻分壓電路的一端電性連接到氣體傳輸裝置兩端兩個氣體容器中電壓較高的一個而另一端係接地,電阻分壓電路的中間係電性連接到某個波型管,藉以降低鄰近此高電壓氣體容器之波型管的電壓。在某些實施例,電阻分壓電路所使用的電阻係為可變電阻,藉以能更有彈性地調整波型管之電壓。In some embodiments, the gas delivery device also has a resistor divider circuit. This is because the voltage of the corrugated tube may be affected by the voltage difference between the two gas containers at the two ends of the gas transmission device. In particular, the voltage of the corrugated tube directly connected to a gas container may vary with the voltage of the gas container. Change and have a high voltage. However, a wave tube which is usually made of a metal material may have problems such as discharge or metal electrolysis at a high voltage. Therefore, a resistor divider circuit is applied to regulate the upper limit of the mode tube voltage. In some embodiments, the two ends of the resistor divider circuit are electrically connected to two gas containers at both ends of the gas transmission device, and the middle portion of the resistor divider circuit is electrically connected to a certain wave tube to thereby limit The voltage of the corrugated tube is intermediate between the voltages of the two gas containers. In some embodiments, one end of the resistor divider circuit is electrically connected to one of the two gas containers at both ends of the gas transmission device and the other end is grounded, and the middle of the resistor divider circuit is electrically connected to A corrugated tube to reduce the voltage of the corrugated tube adjacent to the high voltage gas container. In some embodiments, the resistor used in the resistor divider circuit is a variable resistor to more flexibly adjust the voltage of the waveguide.
本發明將詳細描述如一些實施例如下。然而,除了所揭露之實施例外,本發明亦可以廣泛地運用在其他之實施例。本發明之範圍並不受該些實施例之限定,乃以其後之申請專利範圍為準。而為提供更清楚之描述及使熟悉該項技藝者能理解本發明之發明內容,圖示內各部分並沒有依照其相對之尺寸而繪圖,某些尺寸與其他相關尺度之比例會被突顯而顯得誇張,且不相關之細節部分亦未完全繪出,以求圖示之簡潔。The invention will be described in detail as some examples below. However, the invention may be applied to other embodiments in addition to the disclosed embodiments. The scope of the present invention is not limited by the embodiments, and the scope of the appended claims shall prevail. In order to provide a clearer description and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention, the various parts of the drawings are not drawn according to their relative sizes, and the ratio of certain dimensions to other related dimensions will be highlighted. Exaggerated, and irrelevant details are not completely drawn, in order to simplify the illustration.
本發明之一些實施例為一種氣體傳輸裝置。如第二A圖與第二B圖所示,此氣體傳輸裝置係用於在位於第一電壓之第一氣體容器201與位於第二電壓之第二氣體容器202之間傳輸氣體,並且此氣體傳輸裝置至少包含相互機械性串聯之電性絕緣管線203與波型管204。在此,電性絕緣管線203係由電性絕緣材料所製成,藉以隔絕電性絕緣管線203二側。在此,波型管204可以彎曲伸縮,藉以吸收整個氣體傳輸裝置所承受的震動與扭曲。在此,氣體通過電性絕緣管線203與波型管204二者,而在第一氣體容器201與第二氣體容器202之間流動。Some embodiments of the invention are a gas delivery device. As shown in the second A diagram and the second B diagram, the gas transmission device is for transmitting a gas between the first gas container 201 at the first voltage and the second gas container 202 at the second voltage, and the gas The transmission device includes at least an electrically insulated pipeline 203 and a bellows 204 that are mechanically connected in series. Here, the electrically insulated pipeline 203 is made of an electrically insulating material to isolate the two sides of the electrically insulating pipeline 203. Here, the bellows 204 can be flexibly stretched to absorb the shock and distortion experienced by the entire gas transmission device. Here, the gas flows between the first gas container 201 and the second gas container 202 through both the electrically insulating line 203 and the bellows 204.
在第一氣體容器201與第二氣體容器202之間,電性絕緣管線203與波型管204的數目都可以或是一個或是多個,同時電性絕緣管線203與波型管204的排列順序並沒有限制,或可以如第二A圖所示般電性絕緣管線203直接連接到這些氣體容器201/202,或可以如第二B 圖所示般波型管204直接連接到這些氣體容器201/201,或可以如其它並未圖示畫出的實施例般一或多個電性絕緣管線203與一或多個波型管204以各種順序排列。當然,電性絕緣管線203的長度、寬度、形式等幾何性質並沒有限制。在此,任一個波型管204可以直接連接到相鄰之一電性絕緣管線203,例如當波型管204為金屬波型管時可透過異質焊接法連接到由電性絕緣材料所形成之電性絕緣管線213。Between the first gas container 201 and the second gas container 202, the number of the electrically insulated pipeline 203 and the bellows 204 may be one or more, and the arrangement of the electrically insulated pipeline 203 and the bellows 204 The order is not limited, or the electrically insulating line 203 may be directly connected to the gas containers 201/202 as shown in FIG. 2A, or the wave tube 204 may be directly connected to the gas containers as shown in FIG. 201/201, or one or more electrically insulating lines 203 and one or more of the bellows 204 may be arranged in various orders as in other embodiments not shown. Of course, the geometric properties of the length, width, and form of the electrically insulated pipeline 203 are not limited. Here, any of the wave tube 204 may be directly connected to one of the adjacent electrically insulated pipelines 203. For example, when the corrugated tube 204 is a metal corrugated tube, it may be connected to the electrically insulating material by heterogeneous welding. Electrically insulated pipeline 213.
電性絕緣管線203為本發明的一大特徵。藉由使用電性結緣材料,像是陶瓷、玻璃、硼矽玻璃、鋁矽酸鹽玻璃、工程塑膠、石英或是橡膠與塑膠等等材料,可以讓電性絕緣管線203並不會出現電壓差,或是僅出現些微的電壓差。因此,並不會如習知技術之用以傳輸氣體的管線16般,受到兩側電壓差的影響而發生管壁破裂、管壁變薄、管壁變型、管壁材料被電解所損耗掉等等的問題,甚至出現氣體外洩的問題。The electrically insulated pipeline 203 is a major feature of the present invention. By using electrical bonding materials, such as ceramics, glass, borosilicate glass, aluminosilicate glass, engineering plastics, quartz or rubber and plastic materials, the electrical insulation pipeline 203 can be made without voltage difference. , or only a slight voltage difference. Therefore, it is not affected by the voltage difference between the two sides, such as the pipeline 16 for transmitting gas, which is affected by the voltage difference between the two sides, and the pipe wall is broken, the pipe wall is thinned, the pipe wall is deformed, and the pipe wall material is lost by electrolysis. Such problems, even the problem of gas leakage.
由於重點是要隔絕兩個氣體容器201與202之間的電壓差,藉以減少二個氣體容器201/201之間的電壓差對於在其間傳輸氣體之管線的影響。本發明或是可以使用絕緣係數(insulation coefficient)較高的電性絕緣材料來製造電性絕緣管線203,或是可以增加電性絕緣管線203的長度。前者,可以減短電性絕緣管線203的長度,適用於兩個氣體容器201與202之間空間不多時。後者,可以使用絕緣係數(insulation coefficient)較低的電性絕緣材料來製造電性絕緣管線203,亦即可以減少使用本發明時之材料成本,以及增加可以使用之電性材料種類的彈性。Since the emphasis is on isolating the voltage difference between the two gas containers 201 and 202, the influence of the voltage difference between the two gas containers 201/201 on the line through which the gas is transferred is reduced. In the present invention, the electrically insulating line 203 may be fabricated using an electrically insulating material having a high insulation coefficient, or the length of the electrically insulating line 203 may be increased. In the former, the length of the electrically insulated pipeline 203 can be shortened, and is suitable when there is not much space between the two gas containers 201 and 202. In the latter, the electrically insulating line 203 can be manufactured using an electrically insulating material having a lower insulation coefficient, that is, the material cost in the use of the present invention can be reduced, and the elasticity of the kind of the electrically usable material can be increased.
除此之外,為避免在電性絕緣管線203中的氣體因為受到二個氣體容器201/202之間的電壓差而發生被解離成電漿等的問題,電性絕緣管線203之長度至少不小於一臨界長度,此臨界長度係取決於至少下列因素: 第一氣體容器210與第二氣體容器202之間的電壓差上限,以及電性絕緣管線203中氣體的壓力下限。也就是說,氣體絕緣管線203的長度係取決於這二個氣體容器201/202預計的工作環境與預計的電壓差範圍,以及預計在電性絕緣管線203內傳輸通過之氣體的壓力範圍。舉例來說,當這二個氣體容器201/202分別是離子佈值機之離子源反應室(ion source chamber)與位於離子佈植機內之氣體儲存瓶時,由於氣體儲存瓶基本上都是接地的,因此電性絕緣管線203之實際長度須考量離子佈植機預計要提供的離子束之電壓/電流的大小,亦即須考量離子源反應室需要運作到的工作電壓上限。還有,需要考慮離子源反應室產生與維持電漿以持續輸出離子束時,需要經由電性絕緣管線203傳輸至離子源反應室內之氣體的數量與速率,藉以決定電性絕緣管線203內部的氣體壓力的上限與下限。舉例來說,當二個氣體容器201/202分別是整個半導體工廠之廠務端的氣體供應中心之氣體儲存槽與某段製程工作區間(如執行微影製程之安置多台微影機台之房間)的氣體儲存箱時,由於氣體儲存槽與氣體儲存箱都會接地以防治電位漂浮或甚至放電產生火花的危險,因此電性絕緣管線203的長度需考量廠務端氣體供應中心之接地點與此段製程工作區間之接地點此二者之間的電壓差。還有,需要考慮氣體儲存槽之氣體供應速率、氣體儲存箱之容量與此段製程工作區間的氣體消耗速率,藉以決定電性絕緣管線203內部的氣體壓力的上限與下限。In addition, in order to prevent the gas in the electrically insulated pipeline 203 from being dissociated into plasma or the like due to the voltage difference between the two gas containers 201/202, the length of the electrically insulated pipeline 203 is at least not Less than a critical length, the critical length depends on at least the following factors: an upper limit of the voltage difference between the first gas container 210 and the second gas container 202, and a lower pressure limit of the gas in the electrically insulated line 203. That is, the length of the gas insulated line 203 depends on the range of expected operating temperatures and expected voltage differences between the two gas containers 201/202, as well as the range of pressures that are expected to pass through the gas within the electrically insulated line 203. For example, when the two gas containers 201/202 are the ion source chamber of the ion value machine and the gas storage bottle located in the ion implanter, respectively, since the gas storage bottles are basically Grounded, so the actual length of the electrically insulated pipeline 203 must take into account the magnitude of the voltage/current of the ion beam that the ion implanter is expected to provide, that is, the upper limit of the operating voltage to which the ion source reaction chamber needs to operate. Further, it is necessary to consider the number and rate of gases that need to be transmitted to the ion source reaction chamber via the electrically insulated pipeline 203 when the ion source reaction chamber generates and maintains the plasma to continuously output the ion beam, thereby determining the interior of the electrically insulated pipeline 203. Upper and lower limits of gas pressure. For example, when the two gas containers 201/202 are the gas storage tanks of the gas supply center of the entire semiconductor factory and a certain process working area (such as the room where multiple lithography machines are placed in the lithography process) When the gas storage tank is used, since the gas storage tank and the gas storage tank are grounded to prevent the risk of potential floating or even sparking, the length of the electrically insulated pipeline 203 needs to consider the grounding point of the gas supply center of the factory side. The voltage difference between the grounding points of the segment process working area. Further, it is necessary to consider the gas supply rate of the gas storage tank, the capacity of the gas storage tank, and the gas consumption rate of the working section of the process, thereby determining the upper and lower limits of the gas pressure inside the electrically insulated pipeline 203.
當然,當氣體傳輸裝置有多個電性絕緣管線時,任一電性絕緣管線之臨界長度則係取決於此電性絕緣管線二側所直接連接之電壓差上線,以及電性絕緣管線內氣體之壓力下限。Of course, when the gas transmission device has a plurality of electrically insulated pipelines, the critical length of any of the electrically insulated pipelines depends on the voltage difference directly connected to the two sides of the electrically insulated pipeline, and the gas in the electrically insulated pipeline. The lower pressure limit.
由於電性絕緣材料的重點在於高絕緣係數等電性性質,而不在於彈性與延展性等機械性性質,加上大多數商業化產品之電性絕緣材料的彈性與延展性等不如金屬。因此,整個氣體傳輸裝置所承受的震動與扭曲等,係透過波型管204來吸收化解,特別是透過由金屬材料所製成的波型管204。當然,若震動與扭曲等的影響不大或甚至可以忽略時,在某些實施例可以沒有波型管204的存在。Since the electrical insulating material focuses on the electrical properties of high insulation coefficient, not the mechanical properties such as elasticity and ductility, and the electrical insulation of most commercial products is less elastic and ductile than metal. Therefore, the vibration, distortion, and the like which are received by the entire gas transmission device are absorbed and resolved by the wave tube 204, particularly through the wave tube 204 made of a metal material. Of course, if the effects of vibrations, distortions, etc. are not significant or even negligible, in some embodiments there may be no presence of the bellows 204.
舉例來說,當此氣體傳輸裝置是應用在廠務端之中央氣體容器與廠區中某台製程設備內某個反應室之間傳輸氣體時,配合整個廠區的隔間設計、管線配置與不同機台之個別規格,整個氣體傳輸裝置可能會經過多次轉彎,也可能會經過多個震動來源(例如馬達、電梯、或甚至是突發的地震或是重物落地)。此時,可以在每個轉彎處與每個震動來源處都都安排一或多個波型管204,來吸收可能的震動與扭曲。藉此,可以減少電性絕緣管線203受到損傷的機率與損傷的嚴重性。For example, when the gas transmission device is used to transfer gas between a central gas container at the factory end and a reaction chamber in a process equipment in the plant, the compartment design, pipeline configuration and different machines of the entire plant area are used. Individual specifications of the station, the entire gas transmission device may go through multiple turns, or may pass through multiple sources of vibration (such as motors, elevators, or even sudden earthquakes or heavy objects landing). At this point, one or more bellows 204 can be placed at each turn and at each source of vibration to absorb possible vibrations and distortions. Thereby, the probability of damage to the electrically insulated pipeline 203 and the severity of the damage can be reduced.
另一方面,在相鄰的波型管204之間,也可以安置電性絕緣管線203,藉以在相鄰波型管204之間都電性隔離掉電壓差。不論這個電壓差是來自這二個氣體容器201/202之間的電壓差或是來自波型管204週遭環境如相鄰金屬管線與金屬製機台等所引起的電壓差。當然,也可以只在直接與此二個氣體容器201/202接觸處安放電性絕緣管線203,其它地方則視需要彈性地使用電性絕緣管線203或是一般的氣體管線16。On the other hand, between the adjacent wave tubes 204, an electrically insulating line 203 can also be disposed, so that the voltage difference is electrically isolated between the adjacent wave tubes 204. This voltage difference is derived from the voltage difference between the two gas containers 201/202 or the voltage difference caused by the surrounding environment of the bellows 204 such as an adjacent metal line and a metal machine. Of course, it is also possible to install the discharge insulating line 203 only in direct contact with the two gas containers 201/202, and in other places, the electrically insulating line 203 or the general gas line 16 may be used elastically as needed.
進一步地,電性絕緣管線203或有可能因為意外的碰撞或是常期使用材料劣化或是其它因素而出現破損與裂痕,此時在電性絕緣管線203內傳輸的氣體將外洩至電性絕緣管線外部。Further, the electrically insulated pipeline 203 may be damaged or cracked due to accidental collision or material deterioration or other factors, and the gas transmitted in the electrically insulated pipeline 203 will be leaked to the electrical property. Insulated outside the pipeline.
在某些實施例,如第三A圖與第三B圖所示,或可將電性絕緣管線203所在之封閉空間205(如反應室或共同管線間)連接到抽氣裝置206(如幫浦/pump),或可以將抽氣裝置206之進氣口2065直接安放在電性絕緣管線203之附近。藉此,自電性絕緣管線203外洩之氣體可以被迅速帶走,進而減少在電性絕緣管線203附近之其它硬體設備或甚至是操作人員受到這些外洩氣體的影響。In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, the enclosed space 205 (such as the reaction chamber or the common pipeline) where the electrically insulated pipeline 203 is located may be connected to the air extracting device 206 (eg, Pump/pump), or the air inlet 2065 of the air extracting device 206 can be directly placed in the vicinity of the electrically insulated pipeline 203. Thereby, the gas leaked from the electrically insulated pipeline 203 can be quickly taken away, thereby reducing the influence of these external gases on other hardware devices or even operators in the vicinity of the electrically insulated pipeline 203.
在此,電性絕緣管線203係為一單層結構,內部為一空間而外殼之材料為電性絕緣材料。藉此,當氣體流經該空間時,此外殼既可以隔絕電性絕緣管線203二側之電壓差並也可以隔絕氣體與電性絕緣管線23之外界的電壓差。Here, the electrically insulated pipeline 203 is a single-layer structure, the interior is a space and the material of the outer casing is an electrically insulating material. Thereby, when the gas flows through the space, the outer casing can both isolate the voltage difference on both sides of the electrically insulated pipeline 203 and can also isolate the voltage difference between the gas and the outer boundary of the electrically insulated pipeline 23.
在某些實施例,如第三C圖所示,電性絕緣管線203為由內部電性絕緣管線2033(其通常為單層結構)與外部電性絕緣管線2036(其通常為單層結構)所組成之雙層結構,內部電性絕緣管線係由電性絕緣材料所形成內部電性絕緣管線,而外部電性絕緣管線圍繞此內部電性絕緣管線或可以是由電性絕緣材料所形成之外部電性絕緣管線或可以是由其它材料所形成之外部電性絕緣管線。正常狀況下氣體係僅僅流經此內部電性絕緣管線而由位於第一電壓之第一氣體容器201被傳輸至位於第二電壓之第二氣體容器202,亦即內部電性絕緣管線2033與外部電性絕緣管線2036之間的空間在正常狀況中並不會有氣體流經此而自第一氣體容器201被傳輸至第二氣體容器202。但在內部電性絕緣管線203發生氣體外洩時,外部電性絕緣管線206的存在可以阻止自內部電性絕緣管線203外洩的氣體進一步地擴散至整個電性絕緣管線203之週圍,以減少氣體外洩對電性絕緣管線203附近之其它硬體設備或甚至是操作人員的影響。In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3C, the electrically insulated pipeline 203 is comprised of an internally electrically insulated pipeline 2033 (which is typically a single layer structure) and an external electrically insulated pipeline 2036 (which is typically a single layer structure). The two-layer structure is composed of an internal electrically insulating pipeline formed by an electrically insulating material, and an external electrically insulating pipeline surrounding the internal electrically insulating pipeline or may be formed of an electrically insulating material. The external electrically insulated pipeline may be an external electrically insulated pipeline formed of other materials. Under normal conditions, the gas system only flows through the internal electrically insulated pipeline and is transported by the first gas container 201 at the first voltage to the second gas container 202 at the second voltage, that is, the internal electrically insulated pipeline 2033 and the outside. The space between the electrically insulated lines 2036 does not have gas flowing through the first gas container 201 to the second gas container 202 under normal conditions. However, when gas leakage occurs in the internal electrically insulated pipeline 203, the presence of the external electrically insulating pipeline 206 can prevent the gas leaked from the internal electrically insulating pipeline 203 from further diffusing around the entire electrically insulated pipeline 203 to reduce The effect of gas leakage on other hardware devices or even operators in the vicinity of the electrically insulated pipeline 203.
在某些實施例,如第四D圖所示,還可以將介於內部電性絕緣管線2033與外部電性絕緣管線2036之間的空間連接到抽氣裝置206時,藉以直接將自內部電性絕緣管線2033外洩之氣體經由位於此空間之進氣口2065被抽氣裝置206所抽走。In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4D, the space between the internal electrically insulated pipeline 2033 and the external electrically insulated pipeline 2036 can also be connected to the air extracting device 206, thereby directly charging the internal electricity. The gas leaking from the insulated pipeline 2033 is evacuated by the air extracting device 206 via the air inlet 2065 located in this space.
除了使用抽氣裝置206將外洩氣體抽走,或是使用外部電性絕緣管線2036來阻擋氣體外洩之外,本發明之其它實施例還可以用非活性氣體來沖淡減緩外洩氣體之影響。In addition to using the evacuation device 206 to evacuate the blow-off gas, or using an external electrically insulated line 2036 to block gas leakage, other embodiments of the present invention may also use an inert gas to dilute the effect of the escape gas. .
如第三E圖所示,在電性絕緣管線203周圍,還可以配置抽氣裝置206、氣體壓力監測裝置207以及氣體供應管線208。氣體壓力監測裝置207係用以偵測電性絕緣管線203之鄰近外圍的壓力,氣體供應管線208係用以供應一非活性氣體至電性絕緣管線203之鄰近外圍,而抽氣裝置206係用以將電性絕緣管線之鄰近外圍的非活性氣體抽走。藉此,電性絕緣管線203之鄰近外圍一直有非活性氣體存在,因此若有氣體自電性絕緣管線外洩,外洩之氣體也會被非活性氣體所稀釋沖淡,而較不會影響到電性絕緣管線203外側之硬體與操作人員等,特別是當還有抽氣裝置206可以將位於電性絕緣管線203周圍外側的氣體給抽走時。特別是,當氣體自電性絕緣管線203外洩時,氣體壓力監測裝置207可以偵測到氣體外洩所引起的電性絕緣管線203之鄰近外圍的壓力變化,此時氣體供應管線208與抽氣裝置206的運作可以相對應調整,藉以將電性絕緣管線203之外部周遭的非活性氣體與此外洩氣體的淨壓力保持在適當的範圍。在此,電性絕緣管線之外部周遭的壓力可以保持在1托耳至760托耳之間,或是保持在760托耳之上,或是保持在1拖耳之下。具體的氣體壓力,係取決於電性絕緣管線203周圍的環境。例如當電性絕緣管線203是連接位於一半導體機台內部之一氣體儲存瓶與一反應室時,為避免氣體外洩至半導體機台之外,可以將電性絕緣管線203周圍之氣體壓力維持在小於760托耳(半導體機台之外通常是一大氣壓的環境)與大於1托耳(簡化抽氣裝置206的硬體要求並減少電性絕緣管線203周圍之氣體發生解離成電漿的機率)。此外,為避免非活性氣體影響到電性絕緣管線203外界周圍的硬體,非活性氣體通常是氮氣、惰性氣體及其組合。As shown in the third E diagram, an air suction device 206, a gas pressure monitoring device 207, and a gas supply line 208 may be disposed around the electrically insulated pipeline 203. The gas pressure monitoring device 207 is for detecting the pressure of the adjacent periphery of the electrically insulated pipeline 203, and the gas supply line 208 is for supplying an inert gas to the adjacent periphery of the electrically insulated pipeline 203, and the air extracting device 206 is used. The inert gas adjacent to the periphery of the electrically insulated pipeline is evacuated. Thereby, there is always an inert gas existing in the adjacent periphery of the electrically insulated pipeline 203. Therefore, if the gas is leaked from the electrically insulated pipeline, the leaked gas will be diluted by the inert gas, and will not be affected. The hard body outside the electrically insulated pipeline 203 and the operator, etc., especially when the air extracting device 206 can evacuate the gas outside the electrically insulated pipeline 203. In particular, when the gas leaks from the electrically insulated pipeline 203, the gas pressure monitoring device 207 can detect a pressure change in the vicinity of the electrically insulated pipeline 203 caused by the gas leakage, and at this time, the gas supply pipeline 208 and the pumping The operation of the gas device 206 can be adjusted accordingly to maintain the net pressure of the inert gas and the additional gas outside the electrically insulated line 203 in an appropriate range. Here, the pressure around the outside of the electrically insulated pipeline can be maintained between 1 Torr and 760 Torr, or above 760 Torr, or under 1 Torr. The specific gas pressure depends on the environment surrounding the electrically insulated pipeline 203. For example, when the electrically insulated pipeline 203 is connected to a gas storage bottle and a reaction chamber inside a semiconductor machine, the gas pressure around the electrically insulated pipeline 203 can be maintained to prevent gas from leaking out to the semiconductor machine. At less than 760 Torr (usually an atmosphere of atmospheric pressure outside the semiconductor machine) and greater than 1 Torr (simplifies the hardware requirements of the venting device 206 and reduces the probability of gas dissociation into electrical plasma around the electrically insulating line 203 ). Further, in order to prevent the inert gas from affecting the hard body around the outside of the electrically insulating line 203, the inert gas is usually nitrogen gas, an inert gas, and a combination thereof.
藉此,電性絕緣管線203之鄰近外圍一直有非活性氣體存在,因此若有氣體自電性絕緣管線外洩,外洩之氣體也會被非活性氣體所稀釋沖淡,而較不會影響到電性絕緣管線203外側之硬體與操作人員等,特別是當還有抽氣裝置206可以將位於電性絕緣管線203周圍外側的氣體給抽走時。特別是,當氣體自電性絕緣管線203外洩時,氣體壓力監測裝置207可以偵測到氣體外洩所引起的電性絕緣管線203之鄰近外圍的壓力變化,此時氣體供應管線208與抽氣裝置206的運作可以相對應調整,藉以將電性絕緣管線203之外部周遭的非活性氣體與此外洩氣體的淨壓力保持在適當的範圍。Thereby, there is always an inert gas existing in the adjacent periphery of the electrically insulated pipeline 203. Therefore, if the gas is leaked from the electrically insulated pipeline, the leaked gas will be diluted by the inert gas, and will not be affected. The hard body outside the electrically insulated pipeline 203 and the operator, etc., especially when the air extracting device 206 can evacuate the gas outside the electrically insulated pipeline 203. In particular, when the gas leaks from the electrically insulated pipeline 203, the gas pressure monitoring device 207 can detect a pressure change in the vicinity of the electrically insulated pipeline 203 caused by the gas leakage, and at this time, the gas supply pipeline 208 and the pumping The operation of the gas device 206 can be adjusted accordingly to maintain the net pressure of the inert gas and the additional gas outside the electrically insulated line 203 in an appropriate range.
此外,如第三F圖所示,在由內部電性絕緣管線2033與外部電性絕緣管線2036所組成之電性絕緣管線203周圍,還可以配置抽氣裝置206、氣體壓力監測裝置207以及氣體供應管線208。氣體壓力監測裝置207係用以偵測外部電性絕緣管線2036與內部電性絕緣管線2033之間的壓力,氣體供應管線208係用以供應非活性氣體至外部電性絕緣管線2036與外部電性絕緣管線2033之間,而抽氣裝置206係用以將外部電性絕緣管線2036與內部電性絕緣管線2033之間的非活性氣體抽走,甚至可以將自內部電性絕緣管線2033外洩之氣體抽走。藉此,如第三E圖與相關的討論,非活性氣體的存在可以沖淡減緩氣體外洩的影響,而且抽氣裝置206、氣體壓力監測裝置207以及氣體供應管線208可以彈性調整運作以將外洩氣體帶走並保持外部電性絕緣管線2036與內部電性絕緣管線2033之間的壓力在適當的範圍。In addition, as shown in the third F diagram, the air suction device 206, the gas pressure monitoring device 207, and the gas may be disposed around the electrically insulated pipeline 203 composed of the internal electrically insulated pipeline 2033 and the external electrically insulated pipeline 2036. Supply line 208. The gas pressure monitoring device 207 is configured to detect the pressure between the external electrically insulated pipeline 2036 and the internal electrically insulated pipeline 2033, and the gas supply pipeline 208 is used to supply the inert gas to the external electrically insulated pipeline 2036 and external electrical properties. The insulating device 206 is used to evacuate the inert gas between the external electrically insulated pipeline 2036 and the internal electrically insulated pipeline 2033, and even the internal electrically insulated pipeline 2033 can be drained. The gas is pumped away. Thereby, as shown in the third E diagram and related discussion, the presence of the inert gas can dilute the effect of mitigating the gas leakage, and the air extracting device 206, the gas pressure monitoring device 207, and the gas supply line 208 can be flexibly adjusted to operate outside. The bleed air is carried away and maintains the pressure between the external electrically insulated pipeline 2036 and the internal electrically insulated pipeline 2033 in an appropriate range.
附帶一提,為凸顯本發明也可以在沒有多少震動或多少扭曲需要處理以保護電性絕緣管線203時不使用任何的波型管204,第三A圖、第三C圖與第三E圖所顯示的實施例有波型管204,但是第三B圖、第三D圖與第三F圖所顯示的實施例則沒有波型管204。當然,是否使用波型管204係取決於是否有震動或扭曲需要處理,而與怎樣處理氣體外洩問題之硬體設計無關。在此,僅是在不同圖示不同實施例分別有波型管204或是沒有波型管204,藉以強調在本發明中波型管204是可以視需要選擇的。Incidentally, in order to highlight the present invention, it is also possible to use no corrugated tube 204 without any vibration or some distortion to be treated to protect the electrically insulated pipeline 203, the third A diagram, the third C diagram and the third E diagram. The illustrated embodiment has a bellows 204, but the embodiment shown in the third B, third D, and third F views does not have a bellows 204. Of course, the use of the bellows 204 depends on whether there is vibration or distortion that needs to be handled, regardless of the hardware design of how to handle the gas leakage problem. Here, only the different embodiments of the different embodiments have a wave tube 204 or no wave tube 204, thereby emphasizing that the wave tube 204 can be selected as desired in the present invention.
附帶一提,在某些未圖示之實施例,還可以更包含一附加氣體壓力監測裝置,其係位於內部電性絕緣管線2033與波型管204所環繞的空間之內,藉以監測此空間內之氣體壓力並進而調整自第一氣體容器201將氣體傳輸到第二氣體容器202之操作。Incidentally, in some embodiments not shown, an additional gas pressure monitoring device may be further included in the space surrounded by the internal electrically insulated pipeline 2033 and the bellows 204 to monitor the space. The internal gas pressure and thus the operation of transferring gas from the first gas container 201 to the second gas container 202.
在某些實施例,氣體傳輸裝置還擁有一個分壓電路,像是電阻分壓電路。這是由於波型管204,特別是金屬材料之波型管204,或是可能受到氣體傳輸裝置兩端兩個氣體容器201/202之電壓差的影響,特別是直接電性連接到某個氣體容器201/202之波型管204可能會隨著氣體容器201/202之電壓變化,或著是受到周圍硬體設備之電壓的影響,或著是受到在二個氣體容器201/202之間流動之氣體所帶的電荷的影響,或是因為其它因素,而具有一個高電壓或是具有一個浮動的電壓(floating voltage)。然而,出現在波型管上的高電壓或浮動電壓可能會引發放電現像或是導致破損與耗損(如金屬電解)等等的問題。因此,在某些實施例,分壓電路被應用來調控波型管電壓的上限。In some embodiments, the gas delivery device also has a voltage divider circuit, such as a resistor divider circuit. This is due to the fact that the corrugated tube 204, in particular the corrugated tube 204 of metallic material, may be affected by the voltage difference between the two gas containers 201/202 at both ends of the gas delivery device, in particular directly electrically connected to a gas. The bellows 204 of the container 201/202 may vary with the voltage of the gas container 201/202, or be affected by the voltage of the surrounding hardware, or be flowed between the two gas containers 201/202. The effect of the charge carried by the gas, or because of other factors, has a high voltage or has a floating voltage. However, high voltages or floating voltages appearing on the corrugated tube may cause problems with discharge or damage and loss (such as metal electrolysis). Thus, in some embodiments, a voltage divider circuit is applied to regulate the upper limit of the mode tube voltage.
如第四A圖所示,在某些實施例,使用之分壓電路係為電阻分壓電路。其包含相互串聯之第一電阻401與第二電阻402所形成之電阻組合,此電阻組合之一端係電性連接至第一氣體容器201而電阻組合之另一端係電性接地,而波型管204係電性連接到位於第一電阻401與第二電阻402之間之一點。藉此,波型管204之電壓可以被降低或說調整到第一氣體容器201之電壓的一半。當然,為充份發揮分壓電路的作用,第一電阻401所連接至之第一氣體容器201之電壓係高於第二氣體容器202的電壓。或是說,當第一氣體容器201之電壓大於第二氣體容器202之電壓時,較適合將分壓電路連接到第一氣體容器201。As shown in FIG. 4A, in some embodiments, the voltage dividing circuit used is a resistor divider circuit. The resistor includes a resistor formed by a first resistor 401 and a second resistor 402 connected in series. One end of the resistor combination is electrically connected to the first gas container 201, and the other end of the resistor combination is electrically grounded, and the waveguide is electrically connected. The 204 series is electrically connected to a point between the first resistor 401 and the second resistor 402. Thereby, the voltage of the wave tube 204 can be lowered or adjusted to half the voltage of the first gas container 201. Of course, in order to fully exert the function of the voltage dividing circuit, the voltage of the first gas container 201 to which the first resistor 401 is connected is higher than the voltage of the second gas container 202. In other words, when the voltage of the first gas container 201 is greater than the voltage of the second gas container 202, it is preferable to connect the voltage dividing circuit to the first gas container 201.
如第四B圖所示,在某些實施例,使用之分壓電路係為電阻分壓電路。其包含相互串聯之第一電阻401與第二電阻402所形成之電阻組合,此電阻組合之一端係電性連接至第一氣體容器201而電阻組合之另一端係電性連接至第二氣體容器202,並且位於電性絕緣管線203與第一氣體容器201間之波型管204係電性連接到位於第一電阻401與第二電阻402之間之一點,藉以使得波型管204之電壓介於第一電壓與第二電壓之間。As shown in FIG. 4B, in some embodiments, the voltage dividing circuit used is a resistor divider circuit. The resistor includes a resistor formed by a first resistor 401 and a second resistor 402 connected in series. One end of the resistor combination is electrically connected to the first gas container 201, and the other end of the resistor combination is electrically connected to the second gas container. 202, and the wave tube 204 located between the electrically insulated pipeline 203 and the first gas container 201 is electrically connected to a point between the first resistor 401 and the second resistor 402, so that the voltage of the wave tube 204 is introduced. Between the first voltage and the second voltage.
如第四C圖所示,在某些實施例,使用之分壓電路係為電阻分壓電路。其包含由相互串聯之第一電阻401與第二電阻402所形成之電阻組合,此電阻組合之一端係電性連接至第一氣體容器201而電阻組合之另一端係電性連接至第二氣體容器202。當第一氣體容器201之第一電壓高於第二氣體容器402之第二電壓時,直接連接到第一氣體容器201之一波型管204係電性連接到位於第一電阻401與第二電阻402之間之一點,藉以使此波型管204之電壓介於第一電壓與第二電壓之間。As shown in the fourth C diagram, in some embodiments, the voltage dividing circuit used is a resistor divider circuit. The resistor includes a resistor formed by a first resistor 401 and a second resistor 402 connected in series. One end of the resistor combination is electrically connected to the first gas container 201, and the other end of the resistor combination is electrically connected to the second gas. Container 202. When the first voltage of the first gas container 201 is higher than the second voltage of the second gas container 402, one of the wave tubes 204 directly connected to the first gas container 201 is electrically connected to the first resistor 401 and the second A point between the resistors 402 is such that the voltage of the mode tube 204 is between the first voltage and the second voltage.
如第四D圖所示,在某些實施例,使用之分壓電路係為電阻分壓電路。其包含由相互串聯之第一電阻401、第二電阻402與第三電阻403所形成之一電阻組合,此電阻組合之一端係電性連接至第一氣體容器201而電阻組合之另一端係電性連接至第二氣體容器202。在此,第一波型管2043係電性連接到第一電阻201與第二電阻之402間之第一點,而第二波型管2046係電性連接到第二電阻402與第三電阻403間之第二點,藉以分別降低第一波型管2043與第二波型管2046之電壓。必須強調地是,第四D圖之概念可以擴展到有多於三個電阻與多於二個波型管204之其它未圖示之實施例。As shown in the fourth D diagram, in some embodiments, the voltage dividing circuit used is a resistor divider circuit. The resistor comprises a resistor formed by a first resistor 401, a second resistor 402 and a third resistor 403 connected in series. One end of the resistor combination is electrically connected to the first gas container 201 and the other end of the resistor combination is electrically connected. Optionally connected to the second gas container 202. Here, the first wave tube 2043 is electrically connected to the first point between the first resistor 201 and the second resistor 402, and the second wave tube 2046 is electrically connected to the second resistor 402 and the third resistor. The second point of 403 is used to reduce the voltage of the first wave tube 2043 and the second wave tube 2046, respectively. It must be emphasized that the concept of the fourth D diagram can be extended to other unillustrated embodiments having more than three resistors and more than two wave tubes 204.
在使用電阻分壓電路的各個實施例,所使用之各個電阻的電阻值並沒有任何特殊的限制,而是視各個實施例中各個波型管204之可能的電壓值變化,視各個波型管204之材料與尺寸,視每個波型管兩側可能的電壓差,等等參數而定。並且,在所有實施例中,電阻分壓電路所使用之各個電阻的電阻值,都是可以視需要調整的,甚至都是可以使用可變電阻。進一步地,本發明的重點在於使用分壓電路,而電阻分壓電路為一個常用的作法,但是本發明也是可以應用其它的分壓電路,只要對波型管204之電壓的調整方式如同上述各實施例之調整方式即可。In the various embodiments in which the resistor divider circuit is used, the resistance values of the respective resistors used are not subject to any particular limitation, but depending on the possible voltage values of the respective waveform tubes 204 in the respective embodiments, depending on the respective waveforms. The material and dimensions of the tube 204 depend on the possible voltage differences across each of the wave tubes, and the like. Moreover, in all of the embodiments, the resistance values of the respective resistors used in the resistor divider circuit can be adjusted as needed, and even variable resistors can be used. Further, the focus of the present invention is on the use of a voltage dividing circuit, and the resistor voltage dividing circuit is a common practice, but the present invention can also be applied to other voltage dividing circuits as long as the voltage of the wave tube 204 is adjusted. The adjustment method of each of the above embodiments may be used.
除此之外,在本發明之其它未圖示之實施例,還可以包含徑向球狀滑動軸承(Radical spherical plain bearing)。其通常為一個中空結構,並位於電性絕緣管線203以及波型管204之間並與此二者機械性串聯,藉以吸收側向移動之偏移量及扭力。由於徑向球狀滑動軸承與波型管,都是已經普遍被應用的商業化產品,在此將不再多描述徑向球狀滑動軸承與波型管二者的細節。特別是,由於徑向球狀滑動軸承與波型管二者通常都是由金屬所製成,因此徑向球狀滑動軸承與波型管二者都有可能發生高電壓或電壓浮動的現像。也就是說,在第四A圖到第四D圖所討論的實施例與相關實施例,不只可以應用在波型管,也可以應用在徑向球狀滑動軸承,或是混合應用在徑向球狀滑動軸承與波型管二者。In addition to this, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, a radial spherical plain bearing may be included. It is usually a hollow structure and is located between the electrically insulated pipeline 203 and the bellows 204 and mechanically connected in series to absorb the offset and torque of the lateral movement. Since radial spherical plain bearings and corrugated tubes are commercial products that have been commonly used, the details of both radial spherical plain bearings and corrugated tubes will not be described here. In particular, since both the radial spherical plain bearing and the corrugated tube are usually made of metal, both the radial spherical plain bearing and the corrugated tube may have a high voltage or voltage floating phenomenon. That is to say, the embodiments and related embodiments discussed in the fourth to fourth figures D can be applied not only to the wave tube but also to the radial spherical plain bearing or the hybrid application in the radial direction. Both spherical plain bearings and corrugated tubes.
附帶地,由於徑向球狀滑動軸承與波型管二者都是用來處理與吸收各種的扭曲、變型與偏移等等的機械性變化,藉以彌補電性絕緣管線203較易因外力而損耗破裂等的缺點,因此在不同實施例係可以使用不同數量的電性絕緣導線203、波型管204與徑向球狀滑動軸承,並且可以用不同的順序在第一氣體容器201與第二氣體容器202之間排列組合成需要的氣體傳輸管線。Incidentally, since both the radial spherical sliding bearing and the corrugated tube are used to process and absorb various mechanical changes of distortion, deformation and offset, etc., the electrical insulating line 203 is compensated for by external force. Disadvantages such as loss of cracks, etc., therefore different numbers of electrically insulated wires 203, bellows 204 and radial spherical plain bearings can be used in different embodiments, and can be used in the first gas container 201 and the second in different orders. The gas containers 202 are arranged in an array to form a desired gas transfer line.
附帶地,在實際設計上,可能還會有O型環(O-ring)、閥(valve)、框架(frame)、托座(bracket)與金屬管線等等的零件。在此,將不再一一詳述。如有需要,這些零件也都可以接到分壓電路以改善可能之高電壓或電壓漂浮的問題,也都可以接到抽氣裝置等等來將萬一外洩之氣體給抽走,也都可以再外加一外殼以阻止萬一外洩氣體之四散。Incidentally, in actual design, there may be parts such as an O-ring, a valve, a frame, a bracket, a metal pipe, and the like. Here, it will not be detailed one by one. If necessary, these parts can also be connected to the voltage divider circuit to improve the possible high voltage or voltage floating problem. They can also be connected to the air pump and so on to pump out the leaked gas. An outer casing can be added to prevent the leakage of gas in the event of a leak.
綜上討論,可以發現本發明並沒有限制第一氣體容器201與第二氣體容器202之細節,而只要求此二者皆具有電壓以及氣體可在此二者之間傳輸。因此,本發明之應用彈性甚大。In summary, it can be seen that the present invention does not limit the details of the first gas container 201 and the second gas container 202, but only requires that both have a voltage and that gas can be transported therebetween. Therefore, the application of the present invention is very flexible.
舉例來說,第一氣體容器201可以為工廠之氣體傳輸系統的一部分而第二氣體容器202可以為位於一製程設備的一氣體儲存瓶,在此氣體儲存瓶係連接到製程設備的反應室。亦即,類同第一B圖所示之狀況,本發明可以改善直接將氣體自廠務端傳輸至位於某製程設備內之氣體儲存瓶的氣體傳輸裝置。For example, the first gas container 201 can be part of a factory gas delivery system and the second gas container 202 can be a gas storage bottle located in a process unit where the gas storage bottle is connected to the reaction chamber of the process equipment. That is, similar to the situation shown in Figure B, the present invention can improve the gas transfer device that directly transfers gas from the factory side to a gas storage bottle located in a process equipment.
舉例來說,第一氣體容器201可以為工廠之氣體傳輸系統的一部分而第二氣體容器202可以為位於一製程設備內的一反應室。亦即,本發明可以改善直接將氣體自廠務端傳輸至位於某製程設備內之反應室的氣體傳輸裝置。For example, the first gas container 201 can be part of a factory gas delivery system and the second gas container 202 can be a reaction chamber located within a process unit. That is, the present invention can improve the gas transfer device that directly transfers gas from the factory side to a reaction chamber located in a process equipment.
舉例來說,第一氣體容器201可以為位於某製程設備中的氣體儲存瓶而第二氣體容器202可以為位於此製程設備中的反應室。亦即,類同第一A圖所示之狀況,本發明可以改善用來將氣體自某製程設備內之氣體儲存瓶傳輸到到此製程設備內之反應室的氣體傳輸裝置。For example, the first gas container 201 can be a gas storage bottle located in a process device and the second gas container 202 can be a reaction chamber located in the process device. That is, similar to the condition shown in Figure A, the present invention can improve the gas delivery means for transporting gas from a gas storage bottle within a process equipment to a reaction chamber within the process equipment.
顯然地,本發明並不需要限制所傳輸之氣體的種類,不同的應用實施例各有各較適用的氣體。舉例來說,由於本發明可以省略掉位於製程設備內之氣體儲存瓶,而直接自廠務端將氣體傳輸至製程設備內之反應室,因此本發明對於某些在使用氣體儲存瓶較容易發生腐蝕或毒性等等缺點的氣體,特別有利。舉例來說,當第一氣體容器201為工廠之氣體傳輸系統的一部分而第二氣體容器202係位於一離子佈植機時,此氣體傳輸裝置適於用來傳輸BF3(三氟化硼)、AsH3(氫化砷 )、PH3(磷化氫 )等等活性較大或毒性較大的氣體。Obviously, the invention does not need to limit the type of gas being transported, and different application embodiments each have a respective suitable gas. For example, since the present invention can omit the gas storage bottle located in the process equipment and directly transfer the gas from the factory end to the reaction chamber in the process equipment, the present invention is more likely to occur for some gas storage bottles. Gases with disadvantages such as corrosion or toxicity are particularly advantageous. For example, when the first gas container 201 is part of a factory gas delivery system and the second gas container 202 is located in an ion implanter, the gas delivery device is adapted to transport BF3 (boron trifluoride), AsH3 ( arsenic hydride ), PH3 ( phosphine ) and the like are more active or more toxic gases.
本發明之某些實施例為種氣體傳輸方法,用於在位於第一電壓之第一氣體容器與位於第二電壓之第二氣體容器之間傳輸一氣體。如第五圖所示,首先在步驟501,開啟閥門(valve),使得氣體自第一氣體容器經由電性絕緣管線而流向第二氣體容器。接著在步驟502,啟動連接到電性絕緣管線外側之監測裝置,藉以監測電性絕緣管線臨近周遭之壓力。Some embodiments of the invention are a method of gas transport for transporting a gas between a first gas container at a first voltage and a second gas container at a second voltage. As shown in the fifth figure, first in step 501, a valve is opened to allow gas to flow from the first gas container to the second gas container via the electrically insulated line. Next, in step 502, a monitoring device connected to the outside of the electrically insulated pipeline is activated to monitor the pressure of the electrically insulated pipeline adjacent to the surrounding.
顯然地,開啟閥門是讓氣體傳輸裝置調整傳輸氣體與否及流量的必要條件,否則不是氣體傳輸裝置完全不能傳輸氣體,便是氣體傳輸裝置只能以固定的開口大小來讓氣體傳輸通過。而啟動監測裝置之後,便可以如第三D圖至第三F圖所示般,視需要調控,特別是視有無氣體外洩與氣體外洩時之狀況來調控,氣體傳輸裝置之運作狀況。Obviously, opening the valve is a necessary condition for the gas transmission device to adjust the transmission gas flow and flow rate. Otherwise, the gas transmission device cannot transmit the gas at all, that is, the gas transmission device can only transmit the gas through the fixed opening size. After the monitoring device is activated, it can be adjusted as needed, as shown in the third D to the third F, in particular, depending on the condition of the presence or absence of gas leakage and gas leakage, and the operation state of the gas transmission device.
舉例來說,在步驟502之後,可以視需要如步骤503所示般,啟動氣體供應管線以供應非活性氣體到電性絕緣管線之臨近周遭,以及啟動抽氣裝置將該活性氣體抽離電性絕緣管線之臨近周遭。藉以將電性絕緣管線臨近周遭之壓力保持在1托耳至760托耳之間,在此非活性氣體可以是氮氣、惰性氣體或是其組合。For example, after step 502, as shown in step 503, the gas supply line may be activated to supply the inert gas to the vicinity of the electrically insulated pipeline, and the aspirating device is activated to evacuate the reactive gas. The insulated pipeline is close to it. The pressure of the electrically insulated pipeline adjacent to the surrounding is maintained between 1 Torr and 760 Torr, where the inert gas may be nitrogen, an inert gas or a combination thereof.
舉例來說,在步驟502之後,可以視需要如步驟504所示般,在電性絕緣管線發生氣體外洩時調整氣體供應管線與抽氣裝置的運作,藉以將電性絕緣管線臨近周遭之氣體與非活性氣體的淨壓力保持在1托耳至760托耳之間。For example, after step 502, as shown in step 504, the gas supply line and the operation of the air extraction device are adjusted when gas leakage occurs in the electrically insulated pipeline, thereby electrically connecting the electrically insulated pipeline to the surrounding gas. The net pressure with the inert gas is maintained between 1 Torr and 760 Torr.
舉例來說,在步驟502之後,可以視需要如步驟505所示般,在電性絕緣管線發生氣體外洩時,或是關閉閥門以停止氣體通過電性絕緣管線之流,或是調整閥門以改變氣體通過電性絕緣管線之流動速率。For example, after step 502, as shown in step 505, when gas leakage occurs in the electrically insulated pipeline, or the valve is closed to stop the flow of gas through the electrically insulated pipeline, or the valve is adjusted. The flow rate of the gas through the electrically insulated pipeline is varied.
在此,由於氣體傳輸管線、監測裝置、氣體供應管線與抽氣裝置等硬體之細節與變化,已經先前各圖示或未圖示之實施例與相關討論中呈現,在此不再重覆。Here, due to the details and changes of the hardware such as the gas transmission line, the monitoring device, the gas supply line, and the air suction device, the previous embodiments or the related embodiments have not been repeated, and are not repeated here. .
簡短結論,本發明提出用以在具有第一電壓之第一氣體容器以及具有第二電壓之第二氣體容器之間傳輸氣體的氣體傳輸裝置與方法。本發明使用電性絕緣管線來傳輸氣體,藉以改善以往技術中氣體管線因為出現在其上的電壓或電壓差而被損耗或發生破裂等的缺失。本發明也可以再使用與電性絕緣管線機械性串聯並可以彎曲伸縮之波型管或甚至是徑向球狀滑動軸承,來吸收氣體傳輸裝置所承受的震動與扭曲,藉以保護電性絕緣管線。此外,本發明還可以透過在電性絕緣管線外側安置抽氣裝置,藉以減少萬一發生氣體外洩時的損害。In brief conclusion, the present invention provides a gas delivery apparatus and method for transporting gas between a first gas container having a first voltage and a second gas container having a second voltage. The present invention uses an electrically insulated pipeline to transport gas, thereby improving the loss of the gas pipeline in the prior art due to the voltage or voltage difference appearing thereon or the occurrence of cracking or the like. The invention can also use the wave tube or the radial spherical sliding bearing which is mechanically connected in series with the electrically insulating pipeline and can be bent and expanded to absorb the vibration and distortion of the gas transmission device, thereby protecting the electrically insulated pipeline. . In addition, the present invention can also reduce the damage in the event of gas leakage by placing an air suction device outside the electrically insulated pipeline.
