Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cleaning deposition equipment, in particular to a cleaning device for pipeline blockage caused by a chemical vapor deposition process. Background Art

[0002] Chemical vapor deposition equipment is widely used in various industries, and is commonly used in the coating process of semiconductor wafers, liquid crystal panels, solar photovoltaics, medical fields and other products. The chemical vapor deposition equipment (CVD) currently used in the semiconductor industry has a chamber in which objects that undergo chemical reactions on the surface of the wafer will be deposited on the surface of the wafer during the process, forming a specific layer of film. At present, the deposits deposited on the inner wall are mainly compounds with silicon elements, such as silicon oxide SiO2, silicon oxynitride SiON, silicon nitride Si 3N4, etc. The reaction equation for the chemical reaction of SiO2 is: 3NF3+SiQ2=SiF4+3NO2.

[0003] When the main chamber is continuously processing, due to the gas state characteristics of the reactants, the gas cannot be completely directed to be 100% deposited on the wafer surface. The continuously generated auxiliary reactants accumulate on the side walls of the chamber and the inside of the pipeline. Over time, it will cause blockage of the chamber and the pipeline.

[0004] Patent application number CN202111105692.2 discloses a cleaning device for chemical vapor deposition equipment. This patent mainly uses a mechanism to drive a cleaning brush and an adsorption device to brush and clean the deposits inside the vapor deposition equipment, and does not have the function of cleaning the deposits in the pipeline of the vapor deposition equipment. In the prior art, the reactants of the chemical reaction outside the wafer will be sucked away by the vacuum airflow through the pipeline under the cavity, but some of them will adhere to the cavity and the walls of the pipeline below. Over time, the pipeline will be blocked, and the cavity and pipeline need to be opened manually for cleaning. At the same time, the pipeline of the current vapor deposition equipment is bent, and the existing cleaning is purely mechanical. This kind of manual work wastes time and affects the utilization rate of the equipment, and increases the generation of dust and particles in the cavity.

[0019] 1. In the present invention, three gases are connected to the air inlet pipe, namely, argon gas, nitrogen trifluoride gas, and oxygen. The argon gas is then introduced into the remote plasma generator for activation to form argon particle ions. After successful activation, nitrogen trifluoride and oxygen are simultaneously introduced into the remote plasma generator for gas ionization reaction.

The reaction is carried out simultaneously in a physical way, and the cleaning is thorough, efficient and safe.

The guide seat is forced to push the silicone head to the pipeline in the corresponding direction. Pipelines of various shapes of vapor deposition equipment can be closed and cleaned to avoid gas leakage, which is safe and efficient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0044] like Figure 1-13As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for using a cleaning device for pipeline blockage caused by a chemical vapor deposition process, comprising the following steps:

[0045] Reaction cleaning: three gases are connected to the air inlet pipe 39, namely, argon gas, nitrogen trifluoride gas, and oxygen gas. The argon gas is then introduced into the remote plasma generator for activation to form argon particle ions. After successful activation, nitrogen trifluoride and oxygen are simultaneously introduced into the remote plasma generator for gas ionization reaction. The ionized gases of various ions enter the pipeline where the deposits need to be cleaned, and react chemically with the attachments on the inner wall during the gas flow. The reaction products continue to flow in the pipeline. New ionized gases are then continuously introduced into the deposition equipment pipeline, and continuously react chemically with the scale deposited on the inner wall to generate a new non-deposited product, which is then pumped away with the negative pressure airflow.

[0046] Secondary cleaning: while the chemical reaction in the deposition equipment pipeline is taking place, the cleaning device in the connecting branch pipe 38 is started, the first motor 19 drives the first worm wheel 17 through the first worm 18 to make the driving rod 16 drive the first flexible shaft 14 to rotate, the first flexible shaft 14 realizes the rotation of the rubber wheel 15, so that the cleaning device moves in the deposition equipment pipeline, while moving, the first motor 19 realizes the synchronous rotation of the gear 21 through the first worm 18 and the second flexible shaft 20, the gear 21 realizes the rotating sleeve 10 driving the bristles 12 to brush the reactants deposited in the pipeline and the reactants not drawn away by the negative pressure airflow through the inner gear ring 22, the conduit 1 introduces the reaction gas to the rotating sleeve 10 and the cartridge rack 2, so as to ensure that the bristles 12 react while brushing the reactants, so as to thoroughly clean the deposits in the pipeline;

[0047] Cleaning and adsorption: While the rotating sleeve 10 drives the bristles 12 to brush the pipeline, the main pipeline 4 generates a negative pressure airflow through the branch pipeline 5 in combination with the negative pressure pump, and completely absorbs the reactants brushed up by the bristles 12 to clean the pipeline of the deposition equipment. Through the operation of chemical cleaning combined with physical cleaning, combined with cleaning and adsorption, the pipeline is closed and cleaned once, effectively avoiding the blockage of the pipeline of the vapor deposition equipment;

[0048] Flexible use: When the cleaning device moves in the pipeline of the deposition equipment, the second motor 35 drives the second worm gear 33 to drive the linear motor 26 to rotate through the second worm 34. The linear motor 26 adjusts the direction of the first connecting rod 27 and the second connecting rod 28 so that the electromagnet 29 corresponds to the corresponding iron sheet 31. After the electromagnet 29 is energized, it magnetically adsorbs the iron sheet 31. At this time, the second connecting rod 28 rotates on the first connecting rod 27, and the linear motor 26 continues to extend. Then, the second connecting rod 28 can push the guide seat 30 through the electromagnet 29 and the iron sheet 31. The guide seat 30 is subjected to force to push the silicone head 6 to the pipeline in the corresponding direction, so as to clean multiple pipelines.
