Description

[0002] Wafer processing, liquid crystal panel processing and flexible screen processing in the semiconductor industry all require porous ceramic suction cups. Some of the processes have extremely high requirements for the purity of porous silicon carbide ceramic suction cups, requiring their purity to reach more than 99.9% to avoid impurities in the suction cups from contaminating the materials and affecting their use effects. However, the porous silicon carbide ceramics in the prior art mainly include pressureless sintered silicon carbide, glass-bonded silicon carbide and the like. Since sintering aids such as boron carbide and yttrium oxide are added to the pressureless sintered silicon carbide porous ceramics during the preparation process to ensure the sintering of silicon carbide ceramics, the silicon carbide porous ceramics prepared by this process are not of high purity and cannot meet the influence of wafer processing on material purity; and because the glass-bonded silicon carbide porous ceramics contain glass phase materials such as silicon and aluminum, their purity is also not high and cannot meet the requirements of material purity for wafer processing.

[0028] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the following is a detailed description of a high-purity porous silicon carbide ceramic and its preparation method and application proposed in accordance with the present invention, its specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects, in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0029] The present invention provides a method for preparing high-purity porous silicon carbide ceramics, which comprises the following steps:

[0030] First, a first silicon carbide ceramic green body is prepared. A ceramic slurry is first prepared, and then the slurry is prepared into a first silicon carbide ceramic green body; the first silicon carbide ceramic green body can be prepared by various methods of porous ceramics, such as slip casting, molding, gel casting, etc., which are not specifically limited in the present invention.

[0031] When preparing the ceramic slurry, the selection of materials requires that the first silicon carbide ceramic green body is composed of silicon carbide ceramic particles with a purity of ≥99.9% and a pore-forming agent, that is, the ceramic slurry contains only one type of silicon carbide ceramic particles in addition to the pore-forming agent. The pore-forming agent mentioned here is a broad pore-forming agent, which includes both a narrow pore-forming agent and a burn-out agent, an organic monomer and a cross-linking agent, a ceramic binder, and various additives added to improve the performance of the ceramic slurry such as dispersion, etc. In addition to providing a porous structure for silicon carbide ceramics, the pore-forming agent also provides a temporary binder for silicon carbide powder; through the temporary bonding of the pore-forming agent, the silicon carbide powder is bonded together and then prepared into the first silicon carbide ceramic green body so that it can maintain a certain shape for subsequent processes.

[0032] The ceramic slurry can be prepared in a variety of systems, which are not specifically limited in the present invention. Examples of the ceramic slurry systems and green body forming methods that can be selected are as follows:

[0033] The ceramic slurry may include: 15-25wt% deionized water, 30-70wt% high-purity silicon carbide powder (purity 99.9%), 2-10wt% carbon black, 3-8wt% acrylamide, 0.3-0.8wt% N'N-methylenebisacrylamide, 0.1-0.5wt% polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP for short) and 3-7wt% tetramethylammonium hydroxide solution, which are ball-milled in a ball mill to fully disperse SiC and C powder to form a ceramic slurry; then, initiators such as ammonium persulfate, hydrogen peroxide, sodium bisulfite or azobenzene are added to the ceramic slurry to solidify the ceramic slurry to form a network structure, and the silicon carbide powder is coated therein to form a gel containing SiC and carbon black; the specific embodiment 1 of the present invention adopts this ceramic slurry system.

[0034] Alternatively, the ceramic slurry may include: 20-30% anhydrous ethanol, 30-50wt% high-purity silicon carbide powder, 20%-40%wt% phenolic resin, 3-6wt% tetramethylammonium hydroxide is added for dispersion, ball milled for 18 hours, mixed evenly to obtain ceramic slurry, placed in an oven at 130°C for curing, and dried for 12 hours; Specific embodiment 2 of the present invention adopts this ceramic slurry system.

[0035] Alternatively, the ceramic slurry may include: 20-30% anhydrous ethanol, 30-50wt% high-purity silicon carbide powder, 5%-25%wt% carbon powder, 5-20wt% phenolic resin as raw materials, 3-6wt% tetramethylammonium hydroxide and 0.1-0.5wt% polyvinyl pyrrolidone as dispersants, ball milling for 18 hours, mixing evenly to obtain ceramic slurry, placing it in an oven at 80°C for 12 hours to dry, sieving to obtain a powder containing a phenolic resin binder, and then dry-pressing the powder; specific embodiment 3 of the present invention adopts this ceramic slurry system.

[0036] Secondly, the first silicon carbide ceramic green body is placed in a high temperature furnace for high temperature sintering to obtain a second silicon carbide ceramic green body. The high temperature sintering is to burn out all the organic monomers and organic additives; or, the high temperature sintering is to burn out all the organic monomers and organic additives, as well as carbon powder and / or carbon black. The purpose of high temperature sintering is, on the one hand, to thermally debond the material used as a pore-forming agent in the ceramic slurry, so that after the pore-forming agent is burned out, its original position can form a large number of pores, so that the silicon carbide ceramic forms a porous structure, which is convenient for the CVD process. The organic precursor can enter the pores and deposit in the pores to form a SiC coating, and the SiC coating covers the silicon carbide ceramic particles; on the other hand, it is to sinter the silicon carbide powder so that even if it contains only one component of silicon carbide, it can form a ceramic green body with a certain strength; by controlling the temperature, time and other process parameters of high temperature sintering, the strength of the second silicon carbide ceramic green body can be 6 to 11 MPa.

[0037] The present invention limits the sintering temperature to be greater than the burnout temperature of the pore-forming agent, with the purpose of completely burning out the pore-forming agent added to the ceramic slurry during sintering, so that the second silicon carbide ceramic green body contains and only contains one component, silicon carbide, thereby ensuring the purity of the second silicon carbide ceramic green body, so that the second silicon carbide ceramic green body contains only one component, silicon carbide.

[0038] Depending on the different pore-forming agents in the ceramic slurry, there are different requirements for the high-temperature sintering temperature; preferably, the high-temperature sintering temperature is 400-800°C.

[0039] Finally, a silicon carbide film is deposited on the pore walls and pore rib surfaces of the second silicon carbide ceramic green body.

[0040] The deposition of the silicon carbide film is achieved by chemical vapor deposition. The second silicon carbide ceramic green body obtained by high-temperature sintering is placed in a chemical vapor deposition silicon carbide device, at 1100-1300°C, with monomethyltrichlorosilane as the raw material, and its flow rate is 0.7L / min; hydrogen is used as a catalyst; the volume ratio of hydrogen to monomethyltrichlorosilane is 10:1; the deposition temperature is preferably 1200°C. A layer of dense high-purity silicon carbide film with a purity of ≥99.9% is deposited on the pore wall surface and pore rib surface of the porous silicon carbide ceramic green body, and the silicon carbide ceramic particles are coated therein, which can improve the strength of the porous silicon carbide ceramic, and obtain a high-purity porous silicon carbide ceramic whose purity and strength meet the application requirements at the same time.

[0041] In order to ensure the strength and porosity of high-purity porous silicon carbide ceramics, the present invention preferably has a thickness of 20 to 40 microns for the high-purity silicon carbide film. If the thickness of the deposited silicon carbide film is too thin, it is difficult to improve the strength to meet the requirements of using porous ceramics as suction cups, and if the thickness of the deposited silicon carbide film is too thick, it will affect the pore size and porosity on the one hand, and increase the cost on the other hand.

[0042] The present invention also provides a high-purity porous silicon carbide ceramic, which comprises:

[0043] A silicon carbide porous body comprising only one component, silicon carbide;

[0044] A silicon carbide coating layer is coated on the pore wall surface or pore rib surface of the pores in the silicon carbide porous body; the thickness of the silicon carbide coating layer is 20 to 40 microns;

[0045] The silicon carbide content of the high-purity porous silicon carbide ceramic is ≥99.9% and the strength is ≥50MPa.

[0046] The high-purity porous silicon carbide ceramic is preferably prepared by the aforementioned method.

[0047] The present invention also proposes an application of high-purity porous silicon carbide ceramics in the technical fields of wafer processing, liquid crystal panel processing or flexible screen processing.

[0048] The present invention also provides a ceramic suction cup, which is prepared using the above-mentioned high-purity porous silicon carbide ceramic, and the material of the ceramic suction cup is high-purity porous silicon carbide ceramic with a purity of ≥99.9 and a strength of ≥50MPa.

[0049] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Some non-essential improvements and adjustments made to the present invention by technicians in this field based on the above-mentioned contents of the present invention still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
