Abstract

A turbo molecular pump which can prevent the lowering in vacuum property while maintaining the increased throughput of the gas to be discharged during a normal operation. An axial interval between a rotor vane and a stator vane provided close to a inlet port is set so that the gas can be dealt as molecular flow under a condition that the pressure in the inlet port during the normal operation is not less than 10 mTorr. Since whether or not the gas can be dealt as the molecular flow is delimited by a mean free path of gas molecular, the above axial interval is set based on the mean free path. With this arrangement, the gas can be dealt as the molecular flow under the condition of pressure not less than 10 mTorr during the normal operation, and thus sufficient discharge performance can be obtained. Consequently, even if the throughput of the gas supplied to a vacuum chamber during the normal operation is increased, it is possible to ensure the required pressure (vacuum property) while maintaining the increased throughput.

Explanation of the Invention (i) Background of the Invention Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a booster molecular pump, such as a vacuum device suitable for semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Relevant technical description In the design of the booster molecular pump, the rotor impeller is connected to the rotor shaft rotating at high speed and the stator impeller fixed by the casing, so a pair of rotor impellers and stator impellers are arranged in multiple steps in the axial direction of the rotor axis. The rotor impeller contains a plurality of blades' each inclined at a certain angle. The stator impeller includes most blades similar to the rotor impeller, and the inclination direction of each blade is opposite to that of the rotor impeller. The wheelbase between the rotor impeller and the stator impeller is determined by design factors. For example, the wheelbase between the rotor impeller and the stator impeller near the entrance is about 5 mm. In such a turbocharged molecular pump structure, the rotor impeller is rotated by the rotor shaft, and the gas molecules are struck by the steering. Therefore, the blades of the rotor impeller move axially to exhaust the gas. This type of booster molecular pump is used for exhausting the vacuum chamber of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. When semiconductor processing is performed in a vacuum chamber, gas must always be supplied to the vacuum chamber, and the supplied gas must be discharged by a pressurized molecular pump. The recent trend is to increase the amount of gas supplied to the vacuum chamber, so the amount of gas discharged by the booster molecular pump also increases during normal operation. A flow characteristic test was conducted to determine whether the booster molecular pump can provide sufficient vacuum (exhaust performance) if the amount of exhaust gas is increased. The paper size is in accordance with China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X 297 mm). (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) • Binding and Binding -4- 479110 A7 B7 5. Description of the invention (2). The test results are shown in the single-dot chain line in Figure 4. The gas discharged here is N2, with a dry pump of 1300 (l / min) as an auxiliary pump. It is found from the results that if the amount of exhaust gas is small, the vacuum is good (for example, if the pressure is not greater than 10-2 Torr, 10 millitorr is obtained), but when the amount of exhaust gas is large, the vacuum is poor (for example, the pressure is greater than 10 millitor). Thor). Therefore, the inventors wanted to find out the reason why good vacuum cannot be obtained when the displacement is large, and initially found that the decrease in exhaust performance was due to the lack of exhaust gas in the axial space between the rotor impeller and the stator impeller near the inlet of the booster molecular pump Formation of molecular flow. In other words, the inventors initially discovered that the vacuum caused by increasing the gas flow rate is closely related to the wheelbase between the rotor impeller and the stator impeller. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is based on the above viewpoints, and its object is to provide a pressurized molecular pump, which can ensure sufficient vacuum and increase the gas flow rate, even during normal operation, to increase the flow rate of exhaust gas. In order to achieve the above object, the booster molecular pump of the present invention is characterized by: a rotor shaft; a bearing rotatably supporting the rotor shaft; a motor rotating the rotor shaft supported by the bearing; providing a multi-stage rotor impeller to the rotor shaft ; And multi-stage rotor impellers are provided between the multi-stage rotor impellers, and at least one of the rotor impellers and the corresponding shaft distance between the stator sub-impellers is set according to the gas that can be processed under normal operating pressure of not less than 10 millitorr This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) Α4 specification (210 × 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)

If the booster molecular pump is used to discharge the gas supplied to the vacuum chamber during normal operation, the flow rate of the exhaust gas is predetermined.
