[0036] As Figure 2 、 3As shown, the inner side wall of the barrel 2 is symmetrically provided with a long slot 17, and a rotating shaft 18 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the long slot 17 near the upper and lower ends thereof.

This design can place multiple silicon carbide single crystal wafers at the same height one by one, and it is no longer necessary to manually place the silicon carbide wafers at different heights one by one, which is beneficial to reduce the labor intensity of workers.
[0037] As Figure 2 , 3, 4, 5, the side wall of the barrel 2 is internally provided with an annular cavity 22, the annular cavity 22 is sealingly fixedly communicated with the end of the third input pipe 16, the annular cavity 22 is provided with a plurality of layers of annularly distributed chutes 23 between the inner side surface of the barrel 2, the spacing between each layer of chute 23 is equal to the spacing between the receiving block 21 on the outer surface of the transmission chain 20, the chute 23 is internally provided with a stop block 24 sealingly slidingly connected therewith, the material of the stop block 24 adopts the material of the graphite support in the prior art, the stop block 24 is provided with an air inlet channel 25 penetrating the upper surface thereof on the two side surfaces thereof, the side wall of the chute 23 is provided with a U-shaped channel 26 corresponding to the air inlet channel 25 on the two side surfaces of the stop block 24, the outer end of the stop block 24 is provided with a reset spring 27 between the outer end of the chute 23; in the working process, after the plurality of silicon carbide single crystal wafers are placed on the corresponding receiving blocks 21 one by one, the driving motor 11 is started to drive the fan 10 to operate, and the first input pipe 9, the fan 10, the second input pipe 14 and the third input pipe 16 are communicated by controlling the first switching valve 8 and the second switching valve 12, so that the gas in the gas storage device is input into the annular cavity 22 in the barrel 2, the gas pressure in the annular cavity 22 increases and pushes the stop block 24 out to the inside of the barrel 2 below the silicon carbide single crystal wafer, thereby supporting the silicon carbide single crystal wafer, at the same time, when the stop block 24 is pushed out to the limit position in the barrel 2, the air inlet channel 25 on the two side surfaces of the stop block 24 is communicated with the U-shaped channel 26, at this time, the gas in the annular cavity 22 enters the air inlet channel 25 through the U-shaped channel 26 and is blown out from the upper surface of the stop block 24, the blown-out gas lifts the silicon carbide single crystal wafer to a suspended state, which can avoid the direct contact between the silicon carbide wafer and the graphite support, thereby ensuring that all positions outside the silicon carbide wafer can be coated with a film, thereby improving the film coating effect of the silicon carbide wafer.
[0038] As shown in Figure 2 , 3, the inner side surface of the barrel 2 is embedded with a plurality of annularly distributed electric heating devices 28, which can adopt an electric heating pipe or an electric heating coil, the outer side of the barrel 2 is covered with a heat preservation and insulation material 29, and the outer side of the heat preservation and insulation material is provided with an outer shell 30, in the working process, the electric heating device 28 can generate heat after being powered on, the heat preservation and insulation material 29 can prevent heat loss, and the outer shell 30 can support and protect the heat preservation and insulation material 29.
[0039] In summary, the working process of coating operation of the silicon carbide wafer using the present application is as follows: firstly, rotate the top cover 3 upward, then control the two symmetrical transmission chains 20 to move downward synchronously, and put the silicon carbide wafer into the opening at the top of the cylinder 2 and place it on the receiving block 21. With the slow downward movement of the receiving block 21 on the inner side of the transmission chain 20, the silicon carbide wafer is placed on the receiving block 21 one by one. Then, rotate the top cover 3 downward and lock it on the top of the cylinder 2 using the locking device 4. The sealing gasket 5 on the lower side of the top cover 3 is pressed on the outside of the opening at the top of the cylinder 2, so that the graphite processing cavity inside the cylinder 2 is a sealed cavity. This design allows multiple silicon carbide wafers to be placed one by one at the same height, eliminating the need for manual placement of the silicon carbide wafer at different heights, which reduces the labor intensity of workers.
[0040] Then, the driving motor 11 is started to drive the fan 10 to run, and the first input pipe 9, the fan 10, the second input pipe 14, and the third input pipe 16 are connected by controlling the first switching valve 8 and the second switching valve 12, so that the gas in the gas storage device is input into the annular cavity 22 inside the cylinder 2. When the gas pressure in the annular cavity 22 increases, the stop block 24 will be pushed out to the inside of the cylinder 2 below the silicon carbide wafer, thereby supporting the silicon carbide wafer. At the same time, when the stop block 24 is pushed out to the limit position inside the cylinder 2, the gas inlet channels 25 on both sides of the stop block 24 will be connected with the U-shaped channel 26. At this time, the gas in the annular cavity 22 will enter the gas inlet channels 25 through the U-shaped channel 26 and blow out from the upper surface of the stop block 24. The blown-out gas will lift the silicon carbide wafer to a suspended state. This design can avoid direct contact between the silicon carbide wafer and the graphite support, thereby ensuring that all positions outside the silicon carbide wafer can be coated with a film, thereby improving the film coating effect of the silicon carbide wafer.
[0041] During the coating process, the gas pressure inside the cylinder 2 is stably controlled at the required working pressure by the cooperation of the pressure sensor 7, the first switching valve 8, and the second switching valve 12. The first output pipe 6, the fan 10, the second input pipe 14, and the third input pipe 16 are connected by controlling the first switching valve 8 and the second switching valve 12, so that the gas inside the cylinder 2 circulates inside through the first output pipe 6 and the third input pipe 16. When the gas inside the cylinder 2 circulates, it not only maintains the suspension support of the silicon carbide wafer, but also speeds up the flow of the gas inside the cylinder 2, which is conducive to ensuring the uniformity of the film coating of the silicon carbide wafer and further improving the film coating effect of the silicon carbide wafer.
[0042] When the gas inside the cylinder 2 needs to be cooled, the first output pipe 6, the fan 10, the second input pipe 14 and the third input pipe 16 are communicated by controlling the first switching valve 8 and the second switching valve 12, and the refrigerator 15 is opened, so that the gas passing through the second input pipe 14 and the third input pipe 16 is cooled, and the gas inside the cylinder 2 is cooled. The design can cool the gas inside the cylinder 2 more quickly by air cooling, which is beneficial to improve the cooling effect and improve the efficiency of the silicon carbide wafer coating.
[0043] After coating, the first output pipe 6, the fan 10 and the second output pipe 13 are communicated by controlling the first switching valve 8 and the second switching valve 12, so that the gas inside the cylinder 2 is input into the gas recovery device for recovery. The design can reduce the gas loss during coating work and reduce the cost of coating work.
[0044] In summary, the whole structure of the present application is simple and ingenious, which can avoid the direct contact between the silicon carbide wafer and the graphite support, thereby ensuring the coating effect of the silicon carbide wafer, and can improve the cooling effect by air cooling, which is beneficial to improve the efficiency of the silicon carbide wafer coating, and can recover the gas inside the cylinder 2, reduce the gas loss during coating work, reduce the cost of coating work, and can place multiple silicon carbide wafers at the same height position one by one, without the need for manual placement of the silicon carbide wafer at different heights one by one, which is beneficial to reduce the labor intensity of workers, has good application prospect and protection value, and is very suitable for use in silicon carbide wafer coating.
