Abstract

A heater (11) for heating processing gases used in semiconductor processing equipment; the heater (11) including a chamber (14) whose walls (17 and 18) are heated by a strip heater (29) whereby gases flowing through the chamber (14) are heated by said heated walls.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS [received by the International Bureau on 20 May 1994 (20.05.94); original claims 1, 4, 5, 7 and 8 amended; remaining claims unchanged (2 pages)]
1. A gas heater comprising
a chamber defined by chamber walls having a gas inlet and a gas outlet;
a diversion plate in said chamber for increasing the heat exchange between said chamber walls and the gas flowing from said inlet to said outlet, said diversion plate separating said inlet and said outlet and having a solid portion directly opposite said inlet for diverting the gas flow entering said chamber toward said chamber wall between said inlet and said diversion plate and a perforated portion remote from said inlet for the flow of gas through said diversion piare from said inlet to said outlet; and
a heater adjacent the exterior of the wails of said chamber for heating the walls of said chamber to thereby heat gas flowing in the chamber between the inlet and the outlet.
2. A gas heater as in Claim 1 in which said chamber comprises two cup-shaped metal portions joined to said diversion plate.
3. A gas heater as in Claim 1 in which said gas inlet and outlet are connected to fittings, whereby the heater can be installed in a processing gas line.
4. A gas heater as in Claim 1 including a well shaped to receive a thermocouple extending into said gas outlet.
5. A gas heater as in Claim 1 including a housing formed of a thermally insulating material enclosing said heater.
6. A gas heater as in Claim 5 in which said housing includes two portions which are removable from said heater.
7. A gas heater comprising
a chamber including two cup-shaped metal walls and a diversion plate with the rims of the cup-shaped walls welded to the diversion plate, said diversion plate having a solid portion and a perforated portion,
a strip heater surrounding the chamber to heat the chamber walls, and a fitting welded to each of said cup-shaped metal walls for connecting the chamber in series with a processing gas line to cause the gas to flow through and be heated by the chamber walls,
said diversion plate separating said fittings, said solid portion of said diversion plate being positioned directly opposite one of said fittings for diverting the gas flow entering said chamber through said one of said fittings and saidperf orated portion being positioned remote from said one of said fittings for flow of the diverted gas through said diversion plate toward the other of said fittings.
8. A gas heater as in Claim 7 including a housing formed of a thermally insulating material enclosing said chamber and said heater.
