TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor equipment manufacturing, in particular to a high-efficiency high-energy beam manufacturing method for a large-scale aluminum alloy vacuum chamber of a semiconductor. BACKGROUND
[0002] The vacuum chamber is a core component of the vacuum system, widely used in the manufacturing process of integrated circuits, photovoltaic and display panels, etc. Its role is to provide a vacuum environment for the entire manufacturing process, to remove moisture and impurities in the air, and to ensure the quality and stability of semiconductor devices. The vacuum chamber is the main operating space in the process of manufacturing semiconductor materials and devices, and needs to have good sealing performance and high vacuum degree.
[0003] The traditional manufacturing method for a large-scale aluminum alloy vacuum chamber of a semiconductor is mainly argon arc welding, which is manually welded. The inner side of the vacuum chamber is not beveled, and the argon arc welding is stacked layer by layer to a weld leg size of 15mm. The outer side of the vacuum chamber is a 15mm deep 120° V-shaped bevel, and then the argon arc welding is manually filled layer by layer. This method has a large amount of weld filling, slow welding speed, low welding efficiency, high requirements for argon arc welding operators, high welding heat input, large welding stress and deformation, and is prone to welding cracks and other defects. It often takes two welders working simultaneously for 2-3 days to complete the welding of a vacuum chamber.
