Description
本发明涉及半导体生产技术领域,尤其涉及一种混气装置、方法及半导体工艺系统。
在半导体生产工艺中,一般会用到混合气体,例如20PPM~200PPM的PH3/H2、B2H6/H2等、3%~5%的H2/N2等等不同比例的混合气体。对于外延设备而言,其会用到很多低浓度的PH3/H2、B2H6/H2。半导体工艺在使用这些气体时,对气体浓度的稳定性有很高的要求,一般气体的供应方式是40L或47L的成品混气钢瓶。
在每次钢瓶使用完后,都需要对管路重新进行吹扫置换,以清除管路内残存的混合气体,然后进行钢瓶更换。然而,一旦用气量增大,若无法使用大钢瓶进行供气,则更换钢瓶的频率就会增加,不仅增加工艺成本,还会影响到工艺的效率。
此外,由于部分混合气体有保质期。若长时间不使用混合气体,混合气体会分解,进而影响气体浓度,无法保证气体浓度的精确性,从而影响工艺效率。
为了解决上述问题,现有技术中采用现场混气的方式。一般地,将两种不同的气源通入混气罐进行混合,然后再输送至工艺腔室。但是,这种混气方式无法保证浓度的均一性,进而工艺效率、降低产品良率。
目前针对相关技术中存在的在用气量大的情况下换瓶频率过高、工艺效率较低、现场混气无法保证浓度均一性等问题,尚未提出有效的解决方案。

本实施例的使用方法如下:
(一)分别对第一供气模块的管路、第二供气模块的管路、混气模块进行排气吹扫泄压
吹扫前:
MV1N、MV1H、MV2NA、MV2HA、MV3S、MV1P、VGO1、VGI1、MV3M、VAU处于打开状态,TV2V处于关闭状态,PRV1N、PRV1H、PRV1M、BPR1V处于打开状态,AV2NA、AV2HA、AV3NA、AV3HA为打开状态,PGV、A-PP1、A-PP2、BKV、PVS为关闭状态,A-PP3为通向Buffer Vessel状态,MCV为关闭状态;
排气吹扫泄压:
关闭MV1N、MV1H,A-PP3转变为通向Vacuum;
再打开气动隔膜阀PVS,将管路排空气体;
系统判断PT1N、PT1H、PT2N、PT2H数值低于-10psi,随后同时关闭AV2NA、AV2HA、AV3NA、AV3HA;
接着打开PGV,1S后打开A-PP1、APP-2,使管路充满PN2;
系统判断PT1N、PT1H、PT2N、PT2H数值高于100psi,接着关闭A-PP1、APP-2;
同时打开气动隔膜阀AV2NA、AV2HA、AV3NA、AV3HA排出气体,如此充入排出若干次,即视为管路吹扫干净;
随后保持气动隔膜阀开启状态,打开TV2V,观察PT3M数值,将Buffer Vessel抽为负压;
完毕后管路连同Buffer Vessel为负压状态后,关闭PVS,通过Vacuum将整体再次抽为负压;
吹扫后:
MV1N、MV1H、TV2V处于关闭状态,MV2NA、MV2HA、MV3S、VAU、MV1P、VGO1、VGI1处于打开状态,PRV1N、PRV1H、PRV1M处于打开状态,AV2NA、AV2HA、AV3NA、AV3HA、
PGV、A-PP1、A-PP2、BKV、PVS为关闭状态,A-PP3为通向Buffer Vessel状态。
一般地,在系统上线时混气前,采用上述步骤。
(二)同时对第一供气模块的管路、第二供气模块的管路、混气模块进行排气吹扫泄压
吹扫前:
MV1N、MV1H、MV2NA、MV2HA、MV3S、MV3M、TV2V、VGO1、VGI1、MV1P处于打开状态,PRV1N、PRV1H、PRV1M处于打开状态,AV2NA、AV2HA、AV3NA、AV3HA、PVS、PGV、A-PP1、A-PP2为关闭状态,A-PP3为通向Buffer Vessel状态;
排气吹扫泄压:
关闭MV1N、MV1H,打开PVS,随后5S同时打开AV2NA、AV2HA、AV3NA、AV3HA;
系统判断PT1N、PT1H、PT2N、PT2H、PT2M、PT3M数值低于-10psi后,关闭PVS;
接着打开PGV,1S后打开A-PP1、APP-2,使管路充满PN2;
系统判断PT1N、PT1H、PT2N、PT2H、PT2M、PT3M数值高于100psi,接着关闭A-PP1、APP-2;
打开PVS排出气体,如此充入排出若干次,达到标准后,即视为管路与Buffer Vessel吹扫干净;
同上进行一次Vacuum进行抽气,吹扫后管路与Buffer Vessel为负压状态;
吹扫后:
MV1N、MV1H、MV2NA、MV2HA、MV3S、MV3M、TV2V、VGO1、VGI1、MV1P处于打开状态,PRV1N、PRV1H、PRV1M处于打开状态,AV2NA、AV2HA、AV3NA、AV3HA、PVS、PGV、A-PP1、A-PP2为关闭状态,A-PP3为通向Buffer Vessel状态。
一般地,在系统下线时采用上述步骤。
(三)置换泄压
在混气一段时间后,需要对Buffer Vessel进行置换,具体地:
通过MV3M将混气送至PRV1M前端;
调节PRV1M后,通过三通管路将气送至BKV,混气流过BKV后,流向MCV,经过设定调节的BPR1V后,将需要置换的混气通过VAU排向Vacuum。
其中,调节BPR1V的方法包括:
先关闭VAU,将BPR1V调节压力为最大;
当气体通过BKV与MCV时,缓慢调节BPR1V,并且观察PT1L显示数值;
调节至低于PT2M数值后,打开VAU,通过Vacuum将气体排出;
在上线状态下,MCV、VAU均为开启状态,系统通过判断PRV1M前端的PT2M数值;
在1小时内没有发生改变,机台设备处于休息状态,系统先关闭AV2NA、AV2HA、AV3NA、AV3HA;
随后打开BKV,将Buffer Vessel内的混气通过真空管路排出,Buffer Vessel通过第四气源充入新的混气,完成Buffer Vessel内的混气置换。
