Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of low-temperature vacuum technology, and in particular to a water-vapor pumping low-temperature pump and a water-vapor pumping speed testing method. BACKGROUND

[0002] A low-temperature pump is an ultra-high vacuum pump that captures gas by using low-temperature condensation, low-temperature adsorption and low-temperature trapping mechanisms. The ultimate vacuum can reach 10 -11 Pa. The low-temperature pump has the advantages of high pumping speed, high ultimate vacuum, no moving parts and true cleanliness without oil, and is widely used in high-end manufacturing fields such as optical coating and integrated circuits.

[0003] With the continuous development of industrial level and vacuum technology, the types of substrate materials and coating materials for vacuum coating are increasing, and higher requirements are also put forward for coating equipment and coating processes. Sputtering coating is a common method in coating processes. It is a coating method that uses high-speed inert gas ions to bombard atoms, atomic groups or molecules on the surface of the target in a vacuum, and then deposits them on the substrate. Optical thin film is a common functional thin film, from glasses to mobile phones, computers, LCD displays to LED lighting, and is widely used in various aspects of our lives. This film layer requires a clean vacuum environment during preparation, and is particularly sensitive to water vapor in the vacuum system. The presence of water vapor not only affects the deposition quality of the film layer, but also affects the optical properties of the thin film. Therefore, optical coating equipment needs to be equipped with an ultra-high vacuum pump with high pumping speed for water vapor. Common ultra-high vacuum pumps include oil diffusion pumps, molecular pumps and low-temperature pumps. However, due to the risk of oil contamination, oil diffusion pumps need to be used with a cold trap. Molecular pumps have slow pumping speed and poor water vapor pumping effect in high vacuum, and low-temperature pumps have become the preferred ultra-high vacuum pump in optical coating equipment in recent years.

[0004] With the widespread use of low-temperature pumps in the field of optical coating, a large amount of water vapor is captured in the pump body during use. During the saturation and regeneration process of the low-temperature pump, the water vapor will be liquefied into water and remain in the pump body. Before restarting, a pre-pump is used to pre-pump the vacuum, but the pumping speed of the pre-pump for water vapor is relatively poor, and long-term pumping of water vapor will quickly degrade the performance of the pre-pump. For example, Chinese patent application CN113236530A discloses a low-temperature pump with water vapor regeneration, which uses a pre-pump to pump out the water vapor generated during the regeneration process. This method not only has slow pumping speed, but also affects the service life of the pre-pump.

[0005] According to the JB / T 11081-2011 industry standard of "Refrigerator Low Temperature Pump", the pumping speed test of the low temperature pump adopts two methods of flow method and flow guide method, both of which need high-purity test gas and high-precision flow meter to control the gas flow, and the two methods can accurately measure the second and third type gases such as N2, Ar and H2, but are not applicable to the first type gas H2O, and at present, the industry basically adopts the theoretical calculation method to determine the pumping speed of H2O, and lacks the actual test method of H2O.
