Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to pressure regulator systems, and more particularly, to electronic controlled pressure regulator systems for highly accurate control of pressure in fluid delivery systems.
  • MFC mass flow controller
  • a number of MFCs are often used to control the gas delivery to the process chamber.
  • Such a system includes a plurality of gas delivery lines.
  • Pressure regulators are designed to control the pressures supplied to a number of MFCs.
  • one pressure regulator is used to control the pressure supplied to a number of MFCs.
  • a problem associated with this type of pressure control is that the process gases downstream from one MFC may at times shut off pressure or change pressure in that particular line. When that happens, pressure increases in the other lines and often causes the other MFCs flow to fluctuate and to shutdown.
  • liquefied gases pose a special problem due to the fact that they often go through a phase change while flowing through small orificed devices such as MFCs.
  • MFC small orificed devices
  • Inside an MFC is a bypass tube that a portion of the gas flows through. The temperature of the gas is measured as it flows through the bypass tube, thereby providing a measurement of flow.
  • liquefied gases flash back to a liquid state while traveling through the bypass tube, sending false readings to the controller of the MFC.
  • the conventional pressure regulators used by the industry have been mechanical pressure regulators, for example, spring-loading pressure regulators, dome-loading, air actuated pressure regulators, or combination of spring-loading and dome-loading pressure regulators.
  • the mechanical pressure regulators with a spring-loading mechanism are susceptible to the effects of shock, vibration and temperature. Further, the spring forces vary with compression and thus the load is not uniform.
  • the mechanical pressure regulators with a dome-loading mechanism usually require two regulators, one is a dome regulator at the site, and the other one is a pilot regulator at the remote site. Further, the load pressure of a dome-loading pressure regulator can vary with sensor displacement. Furthermore, the greatest concern of the mechanical pressure regulators is the accuracy of the pressure control.
  • the performance of a MFC is highly affected by the stability of the pressure supplied by the regulator. Due to the open loop characteristics, the mechanical pressure regulators generally fail to deliver a stable pressure to the MFC when flow requirements or conditions vary. This severely degrades the ability of the MFC to maintain a constant output or flow to a process line, e.g. a process chamber in semiconductor industry.
  • regulators are large in size.
  • the regulators used in certain industries such as the semiconductor industry are required to be small and compact preventing adequate valve orifice to diaphragm ratios, which provides good mechanical regulator performance.
  • internal parts of regulators are required to be microscopically smooth and produce minimum in particle generation or entrapment, i.e. high purity, along the flow path. Accordingly, there is a need for an improved pressure regulator system which provides highly accurate pressure control in a fluid delivery system that supplies a fluid flow to a number of MFCs. Also, there is a need for a miniature, compact pressure regulator system.
  • the present invention provides a solution to the above and other problems and offers advantages over the prior solutions to the above and other problems. Summary of the Invention

  • the pressure regulator of the present invention allows highly accurate pressure control in a fluid delivery system which supplies a fluid flow to a number of mass flow controllers (MFCs).
  • MFCs mass flow controllers
  • the present invention provides a closed loop electronic pressure control system. Pressure fluctuations caused by variations are constantly monitored and adjusted.
  • a digital controller may be used to maintain a constant pressure supply to the plurality of MFCs. Accordingly, the delivery system performance is enhanced and process variations are minimized.
  • the present invention provides a system which includes a shut-off pressure regulator having a digital controller to monitor and regulate pressure downstream continuously with precision regardless of changes in system conditions.
  • the pressure regulator continuously adjusts or corrects its outlet pressure when the pressure and/or flow fluctuates, allowing the other MFCs to continue operation without incident. Accordingly, the present invention minimizes pressure cross-talk in multi-fluid line applications.
  • an electronic controlled regulator system is placed upstream of a plurality of MFCs.
  • the system includes a pressure regulator, the pressure regulator having a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, and a valve for controlling pressure of the fluid passing from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet, the valve being opened/closed such that the pressure of a fluid flowing from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet is continuously adjusted; a digital controller coupled to the pressure regulator, the digital controller controlling opening/closing of the valve; and a transducer coupled to the fluid outlet of the pressure regulator, the transducer continuously sensing pressure conditions at the fluid outlet and sending feedback signals to the digital controller such that the digital controller is capable of monitoring a deviation of the pressure conditions and adjusting the valve of the pressure regulator.
  • One advantage of the present invention is that when used with a downstream orifice, the present invention holds a precise pressure to that orifice, thereby controlling flow.
  • the present invention can also be used to replace the MFC, eliminating the liquefied gas phase change problem.
  • One aspect of one embodiment of the present invention is that settling time is reduced substantially.
  • Settling time is the time required for the pressure to go back to the desired value after it has deviated.

  • the cause of deviation may also be that the MFC shuts off its flow in its corresponding flow line.
  • One advantage of the present invention is that it allows rapid response to flow condition fluctuation thereby reducing the settling time, increasing process throughput, and decreasing fluid usage.
  • the regulator includes a pneumatic mechanism, a valve and a diaphragm.
  • the pneumatic mechanism provides a load to the regulator and adjusts opening/closing of the valve.
  • the pneumatic mechanism is pre-set and adjusted by the digital controller.
  • the valve is normally closed whereby the diaphragm is flattened.
  • the valve is opened by the pneumatic mechanism whereby the diaphragm is flexed.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is that it significantly enhances performance of the MFCs by providing a highly accurate and constant pressure to downstream fluid lines.
  • a further aspect of the present invention is that the digital controller and the pressure regulator are enclosed in a miniature and compact housing. Accordingly, it significantly reduces the size of the regulator system.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système (20) compact et miniaturisé de régulation de pression à commande électronique permettant de commander de manière très précise la pression dans un système d'administration de fluides. Le système est conçu de manière à fournir une condition de pression constante à un nombre de lignes (34 a-d) fluides qui fournissent un débit de fluide à un certain nombre de régulateurs (22 a-d) de flux massique (MFC). Le système est un système de régulation de pression électronique à boucle fermée. Des fluctuations de pression causées par des variations sont régulées et ajustées en continu par un régulateur numérique (24) de manière qu'un régulateur (26) de pression ajuste sa vanne d'arrêt de manière à maintenir sa pression de sortie. Lorsqu'il est utilisé avec un orifice d'aval, le système conserve une pression précise à cet orifice, régulant ainsi le débit. Le système peut également être utilisé pour remplacer un régulateur de flux massique, éliminant le problème de changement de phase du gaz liquéfié.
