Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of chemical coatings, and in particular to a coating heating deposition device. Background Art

[0002] Hot-wall chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) forms various CVD coatings and infiltrates on substrates through a chemical reaction between mixed gases within a container at a specific temperature and pressure. This process can significantly improve the service life and performance of mechanical equipment. CVD coatings offer low stress, excellent adhesion, high load-bearing capacity, and outstanding coating uniformity, unaffected by part geometry. They are suitable for coating interior surfaces and complex geometries.

[0003] Common coating preparation methods include slag coating, spraying, and magnetron sputtering. These methods suffer from low control accuracy, poor coating quality, low bonding strength, and high costs, which restrict the application of coating processes and limit the improvement of overall workpiece performance.

[0004] Existing deposition equipment often uses static bottom-injection gas supply systems, relying on the molecular motion of the reactant gas itself for diffusion. This leads to uneven concentration distribution of the reactant gas vertically and radially around the substrate, resulting in incomplete reaction. This makes it difficult to ensure uniform coating results across the substrate. Furthermore, existing equipment struggles to meet the demands of high-temperature metal (Hf, Zr, Mo, V, Ta) composite coatings.

[0005] Korean Patent Publication No. KR100267520B1, published on October 16, 2000, discloses a flow CVD apparatus and method comprising a high-temperature wall reactor tube, one or more reactor gas preheaters, a reactor gas outlet, and a substantially anti-vortex reactor flow control device for conveying the reactor gas from the preheater to the outlet in a substantially laminar flow. The flow control device comprises a tube flange positioned relative to the end of the wafer boat region so as to substantially prevent vortex flow. The flange maintains the reactor gas outside the reactor region or simultaneously maintains the reactor gas in a substantially laminar flow state. To this end, the flange includes a bend extending from the end of the wafer boat region to the outer tube. Each reactor gas preheater includes a first heating tube having a removable baffle having a predetermined surface area to transfer a predetermined amount of heat to the reactor gas passing through the baffle surface. A second reactor gas preheater includes a double-walled cylindrical heater having an inner surface deformation portion. The inner surface deformation portion provides a predetermined surface area to transfer a predetermined amount of heat to the reactor gas passing through the inner surface deformation portion. The double-walled cylindrical heater and heating tube each have multiple gas inlets with central axes positioned to immediately mix the gases injected from the inlets. An optional reaction gas preheater includes a channel formed by a coaxial vacuum chamber and a reaction chamber tube. The method includes preheating the reaction gases, preferably in a separate heating chamber, mixing the heated reaction gases, and passing the mixed reaction gases to the coated wafer in a laminar flow. Any backflow in the reaction zone is eliminated. The reaction gas can also be introduced at the downstream end of the reaction zone to avoid reactant depletion. However, this patent does not achieve uniform gas supply, which affects the deposition effect. Summary of the Invention

A workpiece carrier 400 is provided within the reaction deposition chamber 500 for loading the workpiece to be deposited. A preheating chamber 300 is also provided within the reaction deposition chamber 500, located at the bottom of the workpiece carrier 400. The rotary gas supply mechanism 800 includes a rotary gas supply shaft 802, a gas supply pipe 801, and a rotary drive member connected to the rotary gas supply shaft 802 for driving the rotary gas supply shaft to rotate. The rotary gas supply shaft 802 axially penetrates the reaction deposition chamber 500 and rotates in conjunction with the reaction deposition chamber 500. The upper end of the rotary gas supply shaft 802 is connected to the preheating chamber 300 to supply deposition gas into the preheating chamber 300 for preheating. The gas supply pipe 801 is axially disposed on the workpiece carrier 400 and rotates with the workpiece carrier 400. The lower section of the gas supply pipe 801 is connected to the preheating chamber 300 and communicates with it, allowing the preheated deposition gas to enter the workpiece carrier 400. The lower end of the rotating gas supply shaft 802 is connected to the output shaft of the rotating drive member, and the upper end of the rotating gas supply shaft 802 is connected to the gas supply pipe 801 through the preheating chamber 300. The rotating drive member drives the rotating gas supply shaft 802, the preheating chamber 300, and the gas supply pipe 801 to rotate and supply gas, making the gas supply more uniform.

[0023] The workpiece carrier 400 is provided with multiple layers of deposition spaces for placing multiple layers of workpieces to be deposited. The multiple layers of deposition spaces are interconnected, allowing deposition gas to flow between the multiple layers of deposition spaces.

[0024] Furthermore, if Figure 13 As shown, the reaction deposition chamber 500 includes an annular deposition chamber base 501 and a deposition chamber shell 504 disposed on the deposition chamber base 501. Figure 2 As shown, there is a gap between the deposition chamber housing 504 and the workpiece carrier 400 for the flow of deposition gas after deposition. Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the annular deposition chamber base 501 is connected to the reaction deposition base 200 for sealing the reaction deposition chamber 500. The rotary air supply shaft 802 is connected to the reaction deposition base 200.

[0025] Furthermore, if Figure 5As shown, the reaction deposition base 200 is provided with an exhaust gas output pipe 201, which is used not only for vacuuming the reaction deposition chamber 500, but also for exhausting the deposition gas after deposition. The reaction deposition base 200 is also provided with an auxiliary gas input pipeline 203, a high-temperature metal compound gas supply pipeline 208, and a reaction gas input pipeline 207, respectively for introducing different deposition gases. In addition, the reaction deposition base 200 is provided with two detection interfaces: a thermocouple connection port 206 and a gas pressure detection interface 202, which are convenient for connecting thermocouples and pressure detection elements to measure temperature and pressure. The reaction deposition base 200 has an internal cavity for supplying cooling water to cool the reaction deposition base 200. The reaction deposition base 200 is provided with a cooling water inlet port 204 and a cooling water outlet port 205.

[0026] The present invention can provide a deposition gas containing elements such as aluminum, titanium, and silicon for the reaction. The chlorides of these elements vaporize at temperatures above 200°C, allowing for the deposition of aluminum, titanium, and silicon on the workpiece. During the deposition process, auxiliary gas inlet line 203 and high-temperature metal compound gas supply line 208 can also be used to provide chlorides of high-temperature metals such as zirconium (Hf), hafnium (Zr), molybdenum (Mo), vanadium (V), and tantalum (Ta).

Furthermore, the reaction gas inlet line 207 can input gases such as nitrogen, hydrogen, methane, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen chloride, acetonitrile, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide.

[0027] Example 2 is different from Example 1 in that Figure 13 As shown, the segmented heating furnace 100 is housed outside the reaction deposition chamber 500. An annular tabletop is provided on the outside of the deposition chamber base 501, on which a multi-layered heat sink is mounted. An annular support block for supporting the segmented heating furnace 100 is connected to the heat sink via a buffer spring 502. Specifically, the lower end of the segmented heating furnace 100 is supported on the annular support block. A thermal insulation ring 503 is provided between the inner side of the annular support block and the deposition chamber housing 504.

[0028] Example 3 is different from Example 1 in that Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the preheating chamber 300 includes a preheating chamber housing and a multi-layered baffle disposed within the housing. The housing includes a preheating chamber base 301, disposed at the bottom and top of the multi-layered baffles, respectively, a preheating chamber top plate 310, and a preheating chamber body 303 disposed between the preheating chamber base 301 and the preheating chamber top plate 310. The preheating chamber body 303 is sleeved onto the outside of the multi-layered baffles. The preheating chamber body 303 is connected to the preheating chamber base 301 and the preheating chamber top plate 310 via bolts, and sealing rings 302 are provided between the mating surfaces of the preheating chamber body 303, the preheating chamber base 301, and the preheating chamber top plate 310.

[0029] The outer side of the preheating chamber base 301 is equipped with an upward annular protrusion to support the lowest baffle, creating a gap between the baffle and the preheating chamber base 301 for the flow of deposition gas. The outer side of the preheating chamber top plate 310 is equipped with a downward annular protrusion to support the uppermost baffle, creating a gap between the baffle and the preheating chamber top plate 310 for the flow of deposition gas. Adjacent baffles are separated by spacer rings 305, that is, spacer rings 305 are sandwiched between adjacent baffles, allowing deposition gas to flow through each layer of baffles.

[0030] Example 4 is different from Example 3 in that Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, vertical fixing rods 304 are also provided on the multi-layer partitions. The lower end of the fixing rods 304 is embedded in the preheating chamber base 301, and the upper end is inserted into the preheating chamber top plate 310. A support ring 306 is sandwiched between adjacent partitions, and the support ring 306 is sleeved on the fixing rods 304. In this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, two fixing rods 304 are arranged in the preheating chamber 300 .

[0031] Example 5 is different from Example 4 in that Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the partitions include partitions 1 307 and 2 308 arranged crosswise so that partitions 1 307 and 2 308 are arranged adjacent to each other. That is, from bottom to top, one layer of partition 1 307 is arranged, then one layer of partition 2 308, then one layer of partition 1 307 is arranged, and so on. Alternatively, from bottom to top, one layer of partition 2 308 is arranged, then one layer of partition 1 307, then one layer of partition 2 308 is arranged, and so on.

[0032] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the partition plate 1 307 and the partition plate 2 308 are respectively provided with ventilation holes penetrating the plate surface. The ventilation holes on the adjacent partition plates 1 307 and 2 308 are located at positions far away from each other. That is, when the ventilation hole on the partition plate 1 307 is on the right, the ventilation hole on the partition plate 2 308 adjacent to the partition plate 1 307 is set on the left, so that the deposition gas is spread in a "Z" shape in the preheating chamber 300. Figure 8 And, as Figure 6 As shown, the partition plate 1 307 and the partition plate 2 308 are provided with multiple vent holes respectively, and the multiple vent holes are arranged close to each other on one side of the partition plate 1 307 or the partition plate 2 308.

[0033] Example 6 is different from Example 5 in that Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the central portion of the preheating chamber base 301 is provided with an interface for connecting to the rotating air supply shaft 802. The central portion of the preheating chamber top plate 310 is provided with an interface for connecting to the air supply pipe 801. Furthermore, a support sleeve 309 is provided on the topmost baffle. The upper end of the support sleeve 309 extends into the interface of the preheating chamber top plate 310. The outer side of the support sleeve 309 is provided with an annular, upward-facing stepped surface for supporting the preheating chamber top plate 310. The lower portion of the support sleeve 309 is provided with several legs that contact the topmost baffle, allowing deposition gas to enter the support sleeve 309 through the gaps between the legs and then enter the interface of the preheating chamber top plate 310.

[0034] Example 7 is different from Example 1 in that Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the workpiece carrier 400 includes multiple layers of workpiece carrier rings 401 stacked in sequence and a perforated plate 403 arranged on each workpiece carrier ring. The longitudinal section of the workpiece carrier ring 401 is a symmetrical L-shaped surface, that is, the workpiece carrier ring 401 includes a wider lower ring and a narrower upper ring, wherein the upper ring and the upper ring are an integrated structure. The outer sides of the upper ring and the lower ring are aligned, and the inner side of the lower ring extends beyond the upper ring to form a table, so that the perforated plate 403 is supported and placed on the table. Since the lower ring has a certain height, the perforated plates 403 are separated, so that adjacent perforated plates 403 are spaced apart to form a deposition space, and there are multiple layers of deposition space in total. The upper end of the top workpiece carrier ring 401 is connected to a cover.

[0035] Furthermore, if Figure 9 As shown, the perforated plate 403 is provided with a plurality of air holes, allowing the deposition gas to sequentially pass through each layer of the perforated plate 403 for deposition on the workpiece placed on the perforated plate 403. The side of the workpiece carrier ring 401 is provided with exhaust holes 402, which can be arranged on the upper ring or the lower ring of the workpiece carrier ring 401. The exhaust holes 402 allow the deposited gas to flow out of the workpiece carrier 400 and into the gap between the outside of the workpiece carrier 400 and the deposition chamber housing 504 for easy discharge from the exhaust gas output pipe 201.

[0036] In another embodiment, the height of the workpiece carrier ring 401 becomes shorter from bottom to top so that the distance between adjacent perforated plates 402, that is, the height of the deposition space, becomes smaller from bottom to top; the size of the air holes on the perforated plates 402 also becomes smaller from bottom to top, and the distance between the air holes also becomes smaller.

[0037] Example 8 is different from Example 7 in that Figure 2As shown, there is a certain distance between the preheating chamber 300 and the reaction deposition base 200. Specifically, a higher support base is provided at the bottom of the workpiece carrier 400, and the support base is an annular structure. The upper end of the support base cooperates with the lower end of the lowest workpiece carrier ring 401. The lower end of the support base is supported on the reaction deposition base 200. The preheating chamber 300 is arranged on the upper part of the support base. And the preheating chamber 300 and the support base are rotatably matched. The bottom of the preheating chamber 300 is at a certain distance from the reaction deposition base 200, so that the lower part of the support base is a cavity, which plays a certain role in heat insulation. The outside of the cavity, that is, the outside of the lower part of the support base, is also provided with heat insulation cotton to increase the heat insulation effect between the deposition chamber and the bottom. The rotating air supply shaft 802 is passed through the cavity.

[0038] Example 9 is different from Example 7 in that Figure 9 As shown, the gas supply pipe 801 is provided with multiple pairs of gas injection holes 8011 from bottom to top, and a pair of gas injection holes 8011 corresponds to one deposition space. Figure 10 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the two gas injection holes 8011 in each pair are arranged 180 degrees along the diameter of the gas supply tube 801. That is, the two gas injection holes 8011 are located on the same diameter and on either side of the gas supply tube 801. Furthermore, the gas injection holes 8011 in each pair are of different sizes, with one hole having a larger diameter and the other having a smaller diameter. Larger-diameter gas, ejected at a slower flow rate, is deposited closer, while smaller-diameter gas is ejected farther away. This arrangement improves the uniformity of the deposited gas and enhances coating quality.

[0039] Furthermore, the gas injection holes 8011 of adjacent deposition spaces are arranged in a 120-degree spiral, that is, multiple pairs of gas injection holes 8011 from bottom to top on the gas supply pipe 801 are arranged in a 120-degree spiral. Figure 9 As shown, and Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the gas injection holes 8011 of the three adjacent gas injection hole sections AA, BB, and CC form an angle of 120 degrees in the top projection.

[0040] Example 10 is different from Example 1 in that Figure 3As shown, the lower end of the rotary air supply shaft 802 is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotary drive shaft 804, and the upper part of the rotary drive shaft 804 is provided with a cavity that communicates with the rotary air supply shaft 802. The upper part of the rotary drive shaft 804 is divided into two sections, the upper section has a larger internal cavity for being sleeved on the outer side of the lower end of the rotary air supply shaft 802, and the lower section has an internal cavity smaller than the upper section, and the internal cavity of the lower section is aligned with the internal gas channel of the rotary air supply shaft 802. The lower end of the rotary drive shaft 804 is a solid shaft, which extends downward along the axial direction of the rotary air supply shaft 802.

[0048] Working principle of the present invention: The workpiece substrate to be coated is placed on the workpiece carrier 400 within the reaction deposition chamber 500. The preheating chamber 300, gas supply pipe 801, and workpiece carrier 400 are then installed sequentially above the deposition base 200. The reaction deposition chamber 500 and segmented heating furnace 100 are then lowered, and the entire reaction deposition chamber 500 is evacuated via the exhaust gas output pipe 201. The preheating chamber 300 and gas supply rod 801 rotate via a rotating gas supply system 800. Deposition gas is delivered to the workpiece carrier 400 via an air inlet pipe 803 and a rotating gas supply shaft 802. During the process, the deposition gas is heated in the preheating chamber 300 and then uniformly injected into the deposition chamber via the gas supply pipe 801. The deposition gas uses metal chloride as a coating precursor. The evaporated precursor material forms a thin film on the workpiece substrate, achieving metal coating deposition. After the deposited deposition gas enters the reaction deposition chamber 500 from the workpiece carrier 400, it is gradually withdrawn via the exhaust gas output pipe 201. Furthermore, the coating precursor is continuously fed into the reaction zone and the by-products are continuously removed, thereby maintaining a stable reaction environment.
