DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The present application provides a spray assembly and a spray device including the spray assembly.

[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] like Figure 1-Figure 10 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a spray assembly, which is a component of a spray device, and the spray device is a component of a spatially isolated atomic layer deposition device. The spray assembly mainly includes a spray plate 1, on which a first gas movement path 11 is opened, and the first gas movement path 11 includes at least one first branch channel 111 arranged in layers in the direction of the height of the spray plate 1, and adjacent first branch channels 111 are connected through first connecting through holes 112, and at least two first connecting through holes 112 are provided, and in the direction of the height of the spray plate 1, the projections of the first connecting through holes 112 located in adjacent layers do not overlap. Specifically, in Figure 4In the direction indicated by the bidirectional arrow Z, taking the first gas moving path 11 as being divided into an upper first sub-channel, a middle first sub-channel and a lower first sub-channel from top to bottom as an example, the flow process of the spray gas in the spray plate 1 is as follows: the gas enters the upper first sub-channel of the first gas moving path 11 through the process gas inlet 121 or the isolation gas inlet 122, the gas diffuses in the upper first sub-channel, and then the gas enters the middle first sub-channel through the first connecting through hole 112 between the upper first sub-channel and the middle first sub-channel, and then the gas is The gas diffuses in the middle first sub-channel, and then enters the lower first sub-channel through the first connecting through hole 112 between the middle first sub-channel and the lower first sub-channel, and then the gas diffuses in the lower first sub-channel; and, on the basis of the above, a plurality of first connecting through holes 112 are provided, and the projections of the first connecting through holes 112 located in adjacent layers on the bottom surface of the spray plate 1 do not overlap, so that the gas can fully diffuse in the previous first sub-channel 111 and then flow into the next first sub-channel 111, so that the uniformity of the gas spraying the object to be sprayed is better.

[0040] It should be noted that the projections of the first connecting through holes 112 located in adjacent layers on the bottom surface of the shower plate 1 do not overlap. Preferably, the projections of all the first connecting through holes 112 on the bottom surface of the shower plate 1 do not overlap.

[0041] It should also be noted that one or more first gas movement paths 11 can be set, and the first gas movement path 11 can be an intake path 116 for process gas and / or an intake path 117 for isolation gas. Accordingly, the gas flowing in the first gas movement path 11 can be a process gas and / or an isolation gas.

[0042] It should also be noted that the number of first sub-channels 111 is not limited herein, and the number of first sub-channels 111 can be at least one; preferably, the number of first sub-channels 111 is at least two; more preferably, the number of first sub-channels 111 is at least three, thereby further improving the uniformity of gas diffusion.

[0043] It should be noted that the bottom surface of the spray plate 1 refers to the bottom surface of the spray plate 1. Figure 4 The lower surface in the direction indicated by the double-headed arrow Z.

[0044] Furthermore, in the height direction of the spray plate 1, the number of the first connecting through holes 112 increases from the spray gas inlet 12 of the first gas movement path 11 to the spray gas outlet. Such a setting can make the gas spray more uniform when spraying the gas toward the object to be sprayed, thereby further improving the molding effect of the object to be sprayed.

[0045] The spray assembly of the above structure is provided with a first gas movement path 11 on the spray plate 1. The first gas movement path 11 includes a plurality of first sub-channels 111 arranged in layers in the height direction of the spray plate 1. In this way, the process gas can be dispersed downward layer by layer from the plurality of first sub-channels 111 arranged in layers, and adjacent first sub-channels 111 are connected through first connecting through holes 112. A plurality of first connecting through holes 112 are provided, and the projections of the first connecting through holes 112 located in adjacent layers on the bottom surface of the spray plate 1 do not overlap. In this way, the process gas can be evenly sprayed onto the object to be sprayed, thereby increasing the diffusion distance of the gas and improving the uniformity of the gas spraying.

[0046] In some embodiments, a plurality of first connecting through holes 112 are evenly arranged in the length direction of the shower plate 1. Specifically, evenly arranging the first connecting through holes 112 can make the gas gradually and evenly diffuse to various positions of the first sub-channels 111 in the length direction of the shower plate 1 during the gas circulation in the plurality of gas channels, thereby further improving the uniformity of gas spraying.

[0047] It should be noted that the length direction of the shower plate 1 refers to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The direction is indicated by the double-headed arrow X.

[0048] In addition, the positions of the first connecting through holes 112 may also be arranged in other ways. In the length direction of the spray plate 1, the first connecting through holes 112 may not be evenly arranged, for example: the number of the first connecting through holes 112 located in the middle is greater than the number of the first connecting through holes 112 located at the end, or the number of the first connecting through holes 112 located in the middle is less than the number of the first connecting through holes 112 located at the end.

[0049] In some embodiments, in the length direction of the shower plate 1, the plurality of first connecting through holes 112 located in each layer are symmetrically arranged about the middle of the first sub-channel 111. The plurality of first connecting through holes 112 located in each layer are symmetrically arranged about the middle of the first sub-channel 111, so that the gas entering from the air inlet 12 can be quickly dispersed to various positions of the first sub-channel 111 in the length direction of the shower plate 1.

[0050] In some embodiments, a plurality of first gas moving paths 11 are provided on the shower plate 1, and the first gas moving paths 11 are the inlet paths 116 of the process gas and / or the inlet paths 117 of the isolation gas. Specifically, part of the first gas moving paths 11 are the inlet paths 116 of the process gas, and part of the first gas moving paths 11 are the inlet paths 117 of the isolation gas. Here, setting the inlet paths 116 of the process gas and the inlet paths 117 of the isolation gas as the first gas moving paths 11 of the above structure can greatly improve the gas intake uniformity.

[0051] Exemplarily, the first gas movement path 11 is the inlet path 116 for the process gas; the first gas movement path 11 is the inlet path 117 for the isolation gas; part of the first gas movement path 11 is the inlet path 116 for the process gas, and part of the first gas movement path 11 is the inlet path 117 for the isolation gas.

[0052] In addition, the process gas intake path 116 may be set to have the structure of the first gas movement path 11 described above, and the isolation gas intake path 117 may have another structure.

[0053] In some embodiments, a second gas movement path 16 is opened on the shower plate 1, and the second gas movement path 16 includes a plurality of second sub-channels 161 arranged in layers in the height direction of the shower plate 1, and adjacent second sub-channels 161 are connected through second connecting holes 162, and there are multiple second connecting holes 162, and the projections of the second connecting holes 162 located in adjacent layers on the bottom surface of the shower plate 1 overlap.

[0054] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a plurality of second gas moving paths 16 are provided on the shower plate 1 , and the second gas moving paths 16 are gas extraction paths.

[0055] Specifically, taking the second gas moving path 16 divided into an upper second sub-channel and a lower second sub-channel from top to bottom as an example, after the process gas reacts with the object to be sprayed, the second gas moving path 16 is used to evacuate gas, and the gas enters the lower second sub-channel through a plurality of second connecting through holes 162, and then the gas enters the upper second sub-channel through the second connecting through holes 162 between the lower second sub-channel and the upper second sub-channel, and then is evacuated from the gas extraction port 13. Here, by providing a plurality of second connecting through holes 162, and the projections of the second connecting through holes 162 located in adjacent layers on the bottom surface of the spray plate 1 overlap, the evacuation efficiency of the second gas moving path 16 can be improved, so that the residual process gas can be quickly evacuated, and the spraying efficiency can be improved.

[0056] It should be noted that the number of the second sub-channels 161 is not limited herein, and the number of the second sub-channels 161 may be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and so on.

[0057] In some embodiments, a plurality of process gas inlet paths 116 are provided, a plurality of exhaust paths are provided, and a plurality of isolation gas inlet paths 117 are provided. Here, the process gas inlet paths 116, the isolation gas inlet paths 117, and the exhaust paths are all provided in a plurality, which can improve the efficiency of thin film growth or deposition. Specifically, the process gas inlet path 116 refers to the first gas movement path 11 at the positions of the process gas outlet 114 and the process gas inlet 121, the exhaust path refers to the second gas movement path 16 at the positions of the exhaust port 13 and the inlet 163 of the gas to be exhausted, and the isolation gas inlet path 117 refers to the first gas movement path 11 at the positions of the isolation gas outlet 115 and the isolation gas inlet 122.

[0058] It should be noted that providing a plurality of inlet paths 116 for process gases includes providing a plurality of inlet paths 116 for process gases of different types, and providing a plurality of inlet paths 116 for process gases of the same type.

[0059] In the present embodiment, further, in the width direction of the spray plate 1, exhaust paths are arranged on both sides of the air inlet path 116 of each process gas, so that after the process gas is sprayed onto the object to be sprayed, the residual process gas can be quickly extracted through the exhaust path close to the air inlet path 116 of the process gas, thereby improving the exhaust speed and further improving the processing efficiency of the atomic layer deposition equipment; the air inlet path 117 of part of the isolation gas is located in the middle of the spray plate 1, so that when the isolation gas is used to purge the object to be sprayed, the residual process gas on the object to be sprayed can be quickly purged clean, thereby improving the purging efficiency.

[0060] Taking the spraying of two process gases by the spray assembly as an example, two different process gases flow in the two process gas dispersion paths respectively, and the two process gases successively contact and react with the surface of the sprayed object. Since the two process gases will also react with each other, the exhaust paths are set on both sides of the process gas inlet path 116 to exhaust the reacted and excess process gases; the isolation gas inlet path 117 is to further remove the residual process gas on the surface of the sprayed object to prevent the second process gas from reacting with the residual first process gas on the surface of the sprayed object, and it also has the function of establishing a "gas wall" to separate the two process gases.

[0061] On the basis of the above, further, the air inlet path 117 of the remaining isolation gas is located outside the air inlet path 116 of the process gas and the exhaust path to form an annular path, so that the isolation gas can purge the spray object from the middle and all around at the same time, further improving the processing efficiency of the atomic layer deposition equipment.

[0062] It should be noted that the width direction of the shower plate 1 refers to Figure 3 The direction is indicated by the double-headed arrow Y.

[0063] In some embodiments, in the height direction of the shower plate 1, each first gas movement path 11 is connected to the air inlet 12 opened at the end of the shower plate 1, and each air extraction path is connected to the air extraction port 13 opened at the end of the shower plate 1. Specifically, each first gas movement path 11 is connected to an air inlet 12, and each air extraction path is connected to the air extraction port 13. Here, the air inlet 12 or the air extraction port 13 is set in the middle of the length direction of the shower plate 1, so as to further make the gas evenly distributed in the dispersed path or improve the gas extraction efficiency.

[0064] In some embodiments, the shower plate 1 is an integrally formed structure. Specifically, the shower plate 1 is set as an integrally formed steel plate, and multiple first gas moving paths 11 are formed by opening holes or grooves in the steel plate to achieve the entry and exhaust of process gas and isolation gas.

[0065] It should be noted that, in addition to the above-mentioned hole-making and slotting method, the integral molding method of the spray plate 1 may also be other methods, such as casting molding or injection molding.

[0066] Here, by setting the spray plate 1 as an integrally formed structure, the seams of the layers are reduced, the setting of structures such as sealing rings is avoided, the risk of gas leakage is reduced, and the airtightness and safety of the overall structure of the spray assembly are improved.

[0067] In addition, the shower plate 1 can also be arranged through other structures or in other forms. For example, each first gas movement path 11 is an integrally formed structure. With this arrangement, when the gas flows in the dispersion path, its air tightness can be improved to avoid gas leakage.

[0068] In some embodiments, the gas inlet path 116 of the process gas includes a gas uniforming groove 113 arranged at the gas outlet end of the path, and a plurality of gas outlets for spraying gas toward the object to be sprayed are arranged in the gas uniforming groove 113. Specifically, when the process gas diffuses downward layer by layer along the plurality of first sub-channels 111 of the first gas moving path 11, the gas uniforming groove 113 is arranged at the gas outlet end of the path. The gas uniforming groove 113 can make the gas spray more uniform and improve the reaction rate between the object to be sprayed and the process gas.

[0069] In some embodiments, the spray assembly further includes a plurality of outer plugs 14 and inner plugs 15 for blocking the first connecting through holes 112, and the outer plugs 14 and the inner plugs 15 block a portion of the first connecting through holes 112 so that the projections of the plurality of first connecting through holes 112 connected to the first sub-channels 111 on the bottom surface of the spray plate 1 do not overlap. Specifically, taking the example of grooving and drilling on a steel plate to form the first gas movement path 11, the first connecting through hole 112 punched into the steel plate from one end of the steel plate will penetrate a first sub-channel 111 or penetrate a plurality of adjacent first sub-channels 111. Here, by setting a plurality of outer plugs 14 and inner plugs 15 to block a portion of the first connecting through holes 112, the first connecting through holes 112 that need to be closed are closed, thereby achieving the non-overlapping projections of the plurality of first connecting through holes 112 connected to the first sub-channels 111 in the height direction of the spray plate 1, thereby achieving the uniformity of gas spraying and improving the molding effect of the object to be sprayed.
