Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a temperature control system and method. Background Technology
[0002] In the integrated circuit manufacturing industry, heat exchanger-type temperature control equipment is needed to control temperatures above 25°C for parts requiring a certain high temperature or for mixing high-temperature and low-temperature liquids. Currently, high-temperature requirements are generally in the range of 20~100°C. New process technologies require temperatures above 100°C, and the high-temperature temperature control equipment used poses a risk of burns to the entire circulation system and imposes significant requirements on high-temperature components, necessitating substantial investment to meet these demands.
[0003] Existing heat exchanger-type temperature control equipment uses single-loop or dual-loop systems, both of which suffer from high water tank temperatures and the inability of level sensors to withstand high temperatures. In integrated circuit-specific temperature control equipment, due to the need for liquid recovery, the water tank is generally large, thus posing a risk of burns from high temperatures inside the equipment and negatively impacting internal electrical components and the temperature of the control box. When existing systems operate in high-temperature ranges, the liquid inside the tank is always hot, posing a risk of high temperatures and raising concerns about the heat resistance of level sensors and insulation materials. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The present invention also provides a temperature control method, which applies the temperature control system described above, comprising:
[0013] The opening ratio of the three-way valve is controlled based on the actual temperature of the circulating fluid after the first main pipeline merges with the branch pipeline.
[0014] According to a temperature control method provided by the present invention, controlling the opening ratio of the three-way valve based on the actual temperature value of the circulating fluid after the first main pipeline merges with the branch pipeline includes:
[0015] The PID2 parameter is output to control the opening degree of the three-way valve based on the difference between the set temperature value of the circulating fluid after the first main pipeline merges with the branch pipeline and the actual temperature value of the circulating fluid after the first main pipeline merges with the branch pipeline.

[0017] The output duty cycle of the heater is controlled based on the actual temperature of the circulating liquid at the heater outlet.
[0018] According to a temperature control method provided by the present invention, controlling the output duty cycle of the heater based on the actual temperature value of the circulating liquid at the heater outlet includes:
[0019] The PID1 parameter is used to control the output duty cycle of the heater based on the difference between the set temperature of the circulating liquid at the heater outlet and the actual temperature of the circulating liquid at the heater outlet.
[0020] A temperature control method according to the present invention further includes:
[0021] The opening degree of the three-way valve is controlled according to the actual temperature value of the circulating fluid before the branch pipe of the second main pipeline.
[0022] According to a temperature control method provided by the present invention, controlling the opening degree of the three-way valve based on the actual temperature value of the circulating fluid before the branch pipe of the second main pipeline includes:
[0023] If the change in the actual temperature of the circulating fluid before the branch pipe of the second main pipeline is greater than the first set value, and the change continues for a set time, then the set temperature of the circulating fluid after the branch pipe of the first main pipeline is reduced by the second set value, or the PID set value of the actual temperature of the circulating fluid after the branch pipe of the first main pipeline is increased, and the set temperature of the circulating fluid after the branch pipe of the first main pipeline remains unchanged.

[0026] The temperature control system provided by this invention consists of a heat exchanger's heat dissipation channel, a water tank, and a load connected in sequence to form a circulation loop. The high-temperature circulating liquid, which completes heat exchange and temperature control within the load, flows out of the load and into the temperature control system. When passing through the second main pipeline, it can be divided into two paths: one path flows directly into the first main pipeline through a branch pipeline without undergoing any heat exchange or cooling; the other path passes through the heat dissipation channel of the heat exchanger and exchanges heat with the coolant in the heat absorption channel of the heat exchanger to lower its temperature. The cooled circulating liquid then flows into the water tank for heat preservation, and then flows out of the water tank into the first main pipeline, where it merges with the uncooled high-temperature circulating liquid before flowing back into the load.
[0027] This invention can meet the high-temperature temperature control requirements for semiconductors above 100℃. In the low-temperature circuit composed of the heat exchange device, the flow ratio of the high-temperature circulating liquid entering the heat exchange device for cooling can be changed by controlling the flow of the branch pipes. It mixes with the uncooled high-temperature liquid to achieve the target temperature, which can significantly reduce the temperature of the circulating liquid in the temperature control system, especially the impact of the high-temperature circulating liquid on the water tank temperature. It also reduces the high-temperature resistance requirements of the liquid level sensor and insulation materials in the water tank, improves the safety and reliability of the equipment, solves the system design problem of high temperature in the water tank, and reduces the risks caused by high temperature.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the temperature control system provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a heat exchange device 100, a water tank 200, and a branch pipe 300. The outlet of the heat dissipation channel of the heat exchange device 100 is connected to the inlet of the water tank 200. The outlet of the water tank 200 is connected to the load 700 through the first main pipe 400. The load 700 and the inlet of the heat dissipation channel of the heat exchange device 100 are connected through the second main pipe 500. The two ends of the branch pipe 300 are connected to the first main pipe 400 and the second main pipe 500, respectively.
[0043] In the temperature control system of this invention, the heat exchange device 100's heat dissipation channel, water tank 200, and load 700 are sequentially connected to form a circulation loop. The high-temperature circulating liquid that completes heat exchange and temperature control in the load 700 flows out of the load 700 and into the temperature control system. When passing through the second main pipeline 500, it can be divided into two paths. One path flows directly into the first main pipeline 400 through the branch pipeline 300 without any heat exchange or cooling. The other path passes through the heat dissipation channel of the heat exchange device 100 and exchanges heat with the coolant in the heat absorption channel of the heat exchange device 100 to cool down. The cooled circulating liquid then flows into the water tank 200 for heat preservation, and then flows out of the water tank 200 into the first main pipeline 400, where it merges with the uncooled high-temperature circulating liquid and then flows back into the load 700.
[0044] This invention can meet the high-temperature temperature control requirements for semiconductors above 100℃. In the low-temperature circuit formed by the heat exchange device 100, the flow rate of the high-temperature circulating liquid entering the heat exchange device 100 for cooling can be changed through the flow control of the branch pipe 300. This liquid mixes with the uncooled high-temperature liquid to reach the target temperature, significantly reducing the temperature of the circulating liquid in the temperature control system, especially the impact of the high-temperature circulating liquid on the temperature of the water tank 200. This reduces the high-temperature resistance requirements of the liquid level sensor and insulation materials inside the water tank 200, improves equipment safety and reliability, solves the system design problem of high-temperature water tank 200, and reduces the risks associated with high temperatures.
[0045] In this embodiment, the heat absorption passage of the heat exchange device 100 is connected to the cooling system, and the cooling system uses cooling water as the cold source. The heat exchange device 100 can be a plate heat exchanger or a tubular cooling water heat exchanger, etc.
[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a three-way valve 600 is provided at the connection between the branch pipe 300 and the second main pipe 500. In this embodiment, the three-way valve 600 is provided on the second main pipe 500, and the branch pipe 300 is connected through the three-way valve 600. That is, the high-temperature circulating liquid flowing out of the load 700 in the second main pipe 500 can be divided into two paths after passing through the three-way valve 600. One path is a low-temperature circuit composed of the heat exchange device 100 and the water tank 200, and the other path is a high-temperature circuit directly connected to the first main pipe 400 by the branch pipe 300. The flow ratio of the high-temperature circulating liquid entering the heat exchange device 100 for cooling to the high-temperature circulating liquid entering the branch pipe 300 is controlled by the three-way valve 600 to ensure that the circulating liquid flowing into the load 700 after mixing in the first main pipe 400 meets the temperature requirements.
[0047] In other embodiments, valve bodies may be installed on the second main pipeline 500 and the branch pipeline 300 respectively, thereby controlling the flow rate of the high-temperature circulating liquid entering the low-temperature circuit and the branch pipeline 300.
[0048] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a pump body 410 and a heater 420 are sequentially arranged along the circulation direction of the circulating liquid in the first main pipeline 400. In this embodiment, the low-temperature circulating liquid flowing out of the water tank 200 and the high-temperature circulating liquid flowing out of the branch pipeline 300 are mixed in the first main pipeline 400, pumped out by the pump body 410, and then, after being further temperature-adjusted by the heater 420, enter the load 700. The heater 420 performs high-precision temperature control, and then, after passing through a series of sensors for flow rate, pressure, and temperature, the output is sent to the load 700 of the main process equipment, completing one cycle.
[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a first temperature sensor 430 is provided on the first main pipeline 400 between the connection point of the branch pipeline 300 and the first main pipeline 400 and the pump body 410, so as to control the opening degree of the three-way valve 600 according to the detection value of the first temperature sensor 430. In this embodiment, after the low-temperature circulating liquid flowing out of the water tank 200 and the high-temperature circulating liquid flowing out of the branch pipeline 300 are mixed in the first main pipeline 400, the temperature of the mixed circulating liquid is first detected by the first temperature sensor 430. This position is the temperature of the circulating liquid at the initial stage of mixing, and the detection is more accurate. According to the circulating liquid temperature value detected by the first temperature sensor 430, the opening ratio of the three-way valve 600 is adjusted, that is, the flow rate of the cooled and uncooled circulating liquid is adjusted in time, thereby making the overall circulating liquid temperature control accuracy in the temperature control system higher.
[0050] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a second temperature sensor 440 is provided on the first main pipeline 400 between the heater 420 and the load 700 to control the heating temperature of the heater 420 based on the detection value of the second temperature sensor 440. In this embodiment, after the mixed circulating liquid is temperature-adjusted by the heater 420, the temperature of the circulating liquid is first detected by the second temperature sensor 440. If the temperature does not meet the requirements for the circulating liquid temperature entering the load 700, the heating temperature of the heater 420 is adjusted according to the circulating liquid temperature value detected by the second temperature sensor 440, which can further improve the temperature control accuracy.
[0051] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a third temperature sensor 510 is provided on the second main pipeline 500, which is located between the branch pipeline 300 and the second main pipeline 500 and the load 700, to control the opening degree of the three-way valve 600 based on the detection value of the third temperature sensor 510. In this embodiment, the high-temperature circulating liquid flowing out of the load 700 first passes through the third temperature sensor 510 to detect the temperature of the circulating liquid, and then passes through the three-way valve 600 to split into two paths. Based on the circulating liquid temperature value detected by the third temperature sensor 510, the opening ratio of the three-way valve 600 is controlled. That is, the temperature of the circulating liquid that has just flowed into the temperature control system but has not yet been distributed by the three-way valve 600 is detected. The three-way valve 600 is fed forward controlled based on the detection result. The corresponding control process of the first temperature sensor 430 can be adjusted based on the temperature result, resulting in higher temperature control accuracy and better system safety.
[0052] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a first main pipeline 400 is connected to a load 700 via a first valve body 450, and a second main pipeline 500 is connected to the load 700 via a second valve body 520. A vent pipe is provided behind the first valve body 450 along the flow direction of the circulating liquid. In this embodiment, the installation of the vent pipe enables the temperature control system and the recovery of circulating liquid in the load 700. The system and process equipment power is turned off, the first valve body 450 is closed, and the second valve body 520 is opened. Nitrogen or dry compressed air is injected through the vent pipe outside the outlet of the first valve body 450, blowing the circulating liquid from the external pipeline and the load 700 to the second valve body 520. After passing through the three-way valve 600 and the heat exchange device 100, the liquid is recovered to the water tank 200. When used again, the first valve body 450 is opened, and the system and process equipment are started to transport the circulating liquid in the water tank 200 to the load 700.
[0053] This invention also provides a temperature control method, which applies the temperature control system described in the above embodiments, including:
[0054] Based on the actual temperature of the circulating fluid after the first main pipeline 400 merges with the branch pipeline 300, control the opening ratio of the three-way valve 600.
[0055] The temperature control method of this invention is based on a circulation loop consisting of a heat exchange device 100, a water tank 200, a pump body 410, a heater 420, a three-way valve 600, and a load 700. The low-temperature circulating liquid flowing from the water tank 200 and the high-temperature circulating liquid flowing from the branch pipe 300 are mixed in the first main pipe 400. The temperature of the mixed circulating liquid is first detected by a first temperature sensor 430, which measures the initial temperature of the circulating liquid, making the detection more accurate. Based on the circulating liquid temperature value detected by the first temperature sensor 430, the opening ratio of the three-way valve 600 is adjusted, that is, the flow rates of the cooled and uncooled circulating liquids are adjusted in a timely manner, thereby improving the overall circulating liquid temperature control accuracy within the temperature control system.
[0056] According to one embodiment of the present invention, controlling the opening ratio of the three-way valve 600 based on the actual temperature value of the circulating fluid after the first main pipeline 400 merges with the branch pipeline 300 includes:
[0057] Based on the difference between the set temperature of the circulating fluid after the first main pipeline 400 merges with the branch pipeline 300 and the actual temperature of the circulating fluid after the first main pipeline 400 merges with the branch pipeline 300, the PID2 parameter is output to control the opening degree of the three-way valve 600.
[0058] In this embodiment, the difference between the set value and the detected value of the first temperature sensor 430 is used as the input value to output PID2 parameters, controlling the opening ratio of the three-way valve 600. In other embodiments, the first temperature sensor 430 can also use other control logic to adjust the opening ratio of the three-way valve 600, such as through set mapping conditions.
[0059] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the temperature control method further includes:
[0060] The output duty cycle of heater 420 is controlled based on the actual temperature of the circulating liquid at the outlet of heater 420.
[0061] In this embodiment, after the temperature of the mixed circulating liquid is adjusted by the heater 420, the temperature of the circulating liquid is first detected by the second temperature sensor 440. If the temperature does not meet the requirements of the circulating liquid temperature entering the load 700, the heating temperature of the heater 420 is adjusted according to the circulating liquid temperature value detected by the second temperature sensor 440, which can further improve the temperature control accuracy.
[0062] According to one embodiment of the present invention, controlling the output duty cycle of heater 420 based on the actual temperature of the circulating liquid at the outlet of heater 420 includes:
[0063] Based on the difference between the set temperature of the circulating liquid at the outlet of heater 420 and the actual temperature of the circulating liquid at the outlet of heater 420, the PID1 parameter is output to control the output duty cycle of heater 420.
[0064] In this embodiment, the difference between the set value of the second temperature sensor 440 and the detected value of the second temperature sensor is used as the input value to output PID1 parameters, thereby controlling the output duty cycle of the heater 420. In other embodiments, the second temperature sensor 440 can also use other control logic to adjust the output duty cycle of the heater 420, such as through set mapping conditions.
[0065] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the temperature control method further includes:
[0066] The opening degree of the three-way valve 600 is controlled based on the actual temperature of the circulating fluid before the branch pipe 300 of the second main pipeline 500.
[0067] In this embodiment, the high-temperature circulating fluid flowing out of the load 700 first passes through the third temperature sensor 510 to detect the circulating fluid temperature, and then passes through the three-way valve 600 to split into two paths. Based on the circulating fluid temperature value detected by the third temperature sensor 510, the opening ratio of the three-way valve 600 is controlled. That is, the temperature of the circulating fluid that has just flowed into the temperature control system but has not yet been distributed by the three-way valve 600 is detected. The three-way valve 600 is fed forward controlled by the detection result. The corresponding control process of the first temperature sensor 430 can be adjusted by the temperature result, so that the temperature control accuracy is higher and the system safety effect is better.
[0068] According to one embodiment of the present invention, controlling the opening degree of the three-way valve 600 based on the actual temperature value of the circulating fluid before the branch pipe 300 of the second main pipeline 500 includes:
[0069] If the change in the actual temperature of the circulating fluid before the branch pipe 300 of the second main pipeline 500 is greater than the first set value per second, and this continues for a set time, then the set temperature of the circulating fluid after the branch pipe 300 of the first main pipeline 400 is reduced by the second set value, or the PID set value of the actual temperature of the circulating fluid after the branch pipe 300 of the first main pipeline 400 is increased, and the set temperature of the circulating fluid after the branch pipe 300 of the first main pipeline 400 remains unchanged.
[0070] According to one embodiment of the present invention, controlling the opening degree of the three-way valve 600 based on the actual temperature value of the circulating fluid before the branch pipe 300 of the second main pipeline 500 further includes:
[0071] If the change in the actual temperature of the circulating fluid before the branch pipe 300 of the second main pipeline 500 is less than the first set value per second, and this continues for a set time, then the set temperature of the circulating fluid after the branch pipe 300 of the first main pipeline 400 is increased by the second set value, or the PID setting value of the actual temperature of the circulating fluid after the branch pipe 300 of the first main pipeline 400 is decreased, and the set temperature of the circulating fluid after the branch pipe 300 of the first main pipeline 400 remains unchanged.
[0072] In this embodiment, the first set value can be multiple interval range values, and the second set value can be an interval range value that corresponds one-to-one with each interval range value of the first set value.
