  • Embodiments relate to a thermal plasma torch abatement apparatus for treating an effluent stream from a processing tool.
  • Thermal plasma torches are known and are typically used for treating an effluent gas stream from a manufacturing process tool used in, for example, the semiconductor or flat panel display manufacturing industry. During such manufacturing, residual fluorinated or perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) and other compounds exist in the effluent gas stream pumped from the process tool. These compounds are difficult to remove from the effluent gas stream and their release into the environment is undesirable because they are known to have relatively high greenhouse activity.
  • PFCs perfluorinated compounds
  • One approach to remove the PFCs and other compounds from the effluent gas stream is to use a radiant burner as described, for example, in

  • the first aspect recognizes that the abatement efficiency of existing plasma torch devices is suboptimal.
  • existing arrangements generate a plasma stream which is emitted by the plasma torch device and this plasma stream then intersects the effluent stream to be treated.
  • the effluent stream may flow through a conduit and the existing plasma torch device may be placed circumferentially on the conduit such that the plasma stream intersects the flow of the effluent stream by from the plasma torch device radially across the flow of the effluent stream.

In this way, rather than intersecting the effluent stream, the plasma stream instead flows with the effluent stream. This helps to prolong the reaction time of the effluent stream in the plasma phase and reduces the risk of any of the effluent stream bypassing the plasma stream completely. This significantly improves the abatement effectiveness of the plasma torch.
  • the anode, the cathode and the effluent stream conduit are arranged to generate the plasma stream with a direction of flow and to convey the effluent stream to flow in the direction of flow with the plasma stream.

  • the anode and the cathode are configured to generate the plasma stream as a double cone, each nappe of the double cone being coupled by a throat and the effluent stream conduit is arranged to convey the effluent stream to flow within the plasma stream along an axis of the double cone and the throat.
  • the anode and the cathode are configured to impart a rotational component to the plasma gas flow to rotate the plasma about the direction of flow.
  • the plasma gas is stabilized by generating a spiral flow or vortex.
  • one of the anode and the cathode comprises a swirl structure located in a gap between the anode and the cathode and configured to impart the rotational component to the plasma gas flow.

  • the ceramic liner 62 has a tapering portion at the downstream end which reduces the thickness of the ceramic liner 62 in the vicinity of the annular ring 32.
  • the ceramic liner 62 may be made of the similar material to the ceramic liner 50. Although the ceramic liner 62 in this embodiment is concentric and coaxially aligned within the cathode 1 2, it will be appreciated that this need not be the case and also that multiple conduits may also be provided.

  • the provision of the rotating plasma source gas provides for a boundary layer which acts as a barrier to prevent the effluent stream and abatement by-products from contacting the anode 14 or the cathode 1 2.
  • the key to efficient plasma abatement of an effluent stream such as a process gas flow is to ensure rapid and thorough mixing of the effluent stream with the thermal (hot) plasma, whilst preventing corrosion and blockage of the apparatus.
  • Embodiments provide for the effluent gas stream to be mixed with the plasma within the plasma torch, thereby providing fewer opportunities for the effluent stream to bypass the plasma.
  • Embodiments utilize the plasma as a barrier to protect the components of the plasma torch from the reaction by-products.
  • a cool boundary layer of the plasma source gas stays close to the surface of the components of the plasma torch, thus reducing the extent to which reaction by-products will corrode these.
  • Embodiments provide a vortex stabilised DC arc plasma torch having a tubular cathode 12 through which the effluent stream is injected.
  • vortex stabilization generates a cone of nitrogen plasma which acts as a barrier preventing the effluent stream and effluent stream abatement by-products from contacting the anode 14 and the cathode 1 2, whilst also capturing the effluent stream flow so that it is forced to pass through the central core of the plasma rotating arc (which is the most hot and reactive part of the plasma). This can dramatically improve CF 4 abatement, a compound requiring particularly high temperatures for its destruction.
  • the cathode 12 is cooled by nitrogen gas instead of water (which is used in existing techniques) which permits a higher running temperature of the cathode 1 2 which reduces deposition and prevents corrosion due to effluent stream by-products from poly and metal etch processes. Additionally, this stream of nitrogen, preheated by the cathode 1 2, is then used as the plasma supply, effectively transferring heat lost from the cathode 1 2 back into the plasma torch. This can typically help to save around 5% of the power loss. Due to the shape and characteristics of the anode 14 and the cathode 1 2, the running voltage will be higher and this also improves the efficiency by reducing the electrical current. Reducing the electrical current also helps to reduce the erosion rate of both the cathode 1 2 and the anode 14 since the arc erosion rate is mainly dependent on the arc current.
  • the thoriated tungsten annular ring 32 provides a substantial surface from which to seed the plasma arc during ignition and is exceptionally heat resistant.
  • the size and shape of the swirl element 40 helps to cool the cathode 1 2 sufficiently for the materials of construction but maintains a temperature of around 200 °C to prevent condensation of metal etch process gases and by-products.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une torche à plasma thermique et un procédé. L'appareil de réduction de torche à plasma permettant le traitement d'un flux d'effluent provenant d'un outil de traitement comprend : une anode et une cathode agencées pour générer, dans une région de décharge de plasma, un flux de plasma à partir d'un gaz plasma ; et un conduit de flux d'effluent agencé de façon à amener le flux d'effluent à s'écouler de manière coaxiale avec le flux de plasma. De cette manière, plutôt que de croiser le flux d'effluent, le flux de plasma, au contraire, s'écoule avec le flux d'effluent. Cela permet de prolonger le temps de réaction du flux d'effluent dans la phase plasma et réduit le risque qu'une quelconque partie du flux d'effluent ne contourne le flux de plasma complètement. Cela permet d'améliorer considérablement l'efficacité de réduction de la torche à plasma. (Figure 1)
