Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of low-temperature liquid filling (fine chemical technology), and in particular to an electronic-grade tetramethylsilane filling system and a processing method. Background Art
[0002] Tetramethylsilane (4MS), with a boiling point of 26.5°C, is chemically stable and exhibits high thermal stability, only beginning to decompose at temperatures between 660°C and 720°C. Electronic-grade tetramethylsilane is used in semiconductor manufacturing processes for surface treatment during chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD). As a precursor for low-k thin film deposition, it is widely used in integrated circuit chip manufacturing, primarily in the 90nm and below technology node.
[0003] However, the semiconductor industry has extremely high requirements for the impurities in electronic-grade tetramethylsilane (4MS). Excessive levels of particulate matter, metal ions, and moisture in 4MS can severely impact the performance of components within the silicon wafer circuits, ultimately leading to circuit damage and even chip failure. Currently, the most common method for filling 4MS is liquid filling. However, the filling process involves high levels of metal ions, moisture, and particulate matter in the raw materials themselves. Furthermore, the disassembly and connection of raw material tanks, filling pipelines, and cylinders (tanks) can affect these levels, leading to difficulties in filling and high costs associated with failed fillings. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention aims to reduce impurity interference and further improve purity through an electronic grade tetramethylsilane filling system and processing method.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:
[0006] Preparation before filling: After the liquid surface space of the raw material tank is pumped to negative pressure, heat the raw material tank to a certain temperature. After confirming that the raw material tank reaches a certain pressure, open the raw material tank outlet valve and the gas-liquid separator inlet valve. 4MS passes through the gas purifier in the form of gas and enters the gas-liquid separator.
[0007] Filling: When the gas-liquid separator accumulates to a certain liquid level, open the gas-liquid separator outlet valve and let the liquid pass through the liquid purifier to reach the cylinder; when the cylinder filling volume is reached, close the cylinder valve to complete the filling.
[0008] Since the raw materials are passed through the gas purification structure in the form of gas to remove trace particles and impurities in the solution, and then passed through the liquid purifier in the form of liquid to remove trace metal ions in the solution, the particles and metal ions in the 4MS are effectively removed, reaching an order of magnitude higher electronic grade tetramethylsilane. Specifically:
[0009] An electronic-grade tetramethylsilane filling system comprises a raw material tank, which is connected to a gas-liquid separator through a pipeline, a raw material tank outlet valve and a raw material tank inlet valve are provided at the upper end of the raw material tank, a gas purification structure is provided between the raw material tank and the gas-liquid separator, a gas-liquid separator inlet valve is provided at the upper end of the gas-liquid separator, a gas-liquid separator outlet valve is provided at the lower end of the gas-liquid separator, the gas-liquid separator outlet valve is connected to a liquid purifier, a liquid purifier outlet valve is provided at the lower end of the liquid purifier, the liquid purifier outlet valve is connected to a cylinder through a cylinder liquid inlet end valve, a cylinder gas end valve is provided at the upper end of the cylinder, and the cylinder gas end valve is connected to a cylinder vacuum valve, a cylinder nitrogen valve, a vent valve and an analysis valve.
[0010] Preferably, the gas purification structure includes a shell, wherein a gas purifier and a VCR connector are installed in the shell, a VCR connector is installed in the front of the gas purifier, and a VCR connector is installed in the rear. The purifier air inlet is installed in the front of the shell, and the purifier air outlet is installed in the rear of the shell. The shell is made of stainless steel 316L, and the gas purifier is composed of adsorption filter material and filter element.
[0011] The liquid purifier comprises an outer shell and an inner surface, and both the outer shell and the inner surface of the liquid purifier are made of pure polytetrafluoroethylene.
[0012] The gas purification structure connector type selected by the present invention adopts VCR, which is adsorbed by activated carbon or molecular sieve and then filtered through a terminal filter element for nano-scale particulate matter. The liquid purifier includes a shell and a unique surface-modified pure PTFE matrix. This matrix is combined with ion exchange groups to spontaneously and rapidly remove metal ions. During operation, due to the different solubility of impurities, the 4MS liquid contains different levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide and other impurities. Oxygen, carbon dioxide and other impurities in the solution are effectively removed by gasification through the gas purification structure, and then further removed by the terminal filter element. Compared with the liquid filling and filtration method, its purity is not only significantly improved, but also the particulate matter in the liquid is significantly reduced. The liquid purifier used later can further reduce the metal ions in the solution, thereby improving the purity of the product 4MS.
[0013] A method for treating an electronic-grade tetramethylsilane filling system comprises the following steps:
[0014] S1: After closing the outlet valve and inlet valve of the raw material tank, the raw material in the raw material tank is heated by a heating tape to maintain a constant temperature. After reaching a certain pressure, the outlet valve of the raw material tank and the inlet valve of the gas-liquid separator are opened. The gas passes through the outlet valve of the raw material tank, the gas purification structure and the inlet valve of the gas-liquid separator and reaches the gas-liquid separator;
[0015] S2: The gas-liquid separator cools the tetramethylsilane gas to liquid by cooling liquid, and when the gas-liquid separator reaches a certain liquid level, the next step is prepared;
[0016] S3: The cylinder pressure is extracted to a negative pressure of -0.1 MPa through the cylinder gas end valve and the cylinder vacuum valve, and after 30 s, the cylinder vacuum valve is closed, the cylinder nitrogen valve is opened, and after the cylinder pressure reaches 0.1 MPa, it is maintained for 30 s, and then the cylinder nitrogen valve is closed; the above operation is repeated 3 times, and after analysis, the cylinder is maintained in a vacuum negative pressure state, the pressure is -0.1 MPa or below, and the next step is performed;
[0017] S4: The gas-liquid separator outlet valve, the liquid purifier outlet valve and the cylinder liquid inlet valve are opened, and under the action of pressure and gravity, the liquid is filled into the cylinder through the gas-liquid separator outlet valve, the liquid purifier and the cylinder liquid inlet valve, and the filled ultrapure tetramethylsilane is obtained.
[0018] Preferably, in S1, the raw material tank heating temperature is 10-50℃, and the raw material tank gasification pressure is 0.3-0.8MPa when the raw material tank gas outlet valve and the gas-liquid separator gas inlet valve are opened.
[0019] Preferably, in S2, the cooling liquid temperature is -60-0℃, and the certain liquid level is 1 / 4-3 / 4 of the volume of the gas-liquid separator.
[0020] Preferably, in S4, the cylinder pressure is -0.1-0.3MPa.
[0021] Preferably, before the gas-liquid separator, the tetramethylsilane removes particulate matter, moisture and oxygen impurities through the gas purification structure; and after passing through the gas-liquid separator, the liquid purifier removes metal ion impurities.
[0022] Preferably, in S1, the purity of the raw material tetramethylsilane is ≥99.9%; and the metal ion purity of the raw material tetramethylsilane is 5N.
[0023] Preferably, in S4, the purity of the ultrapure tetramethylsilane is ≥99.99%.
[0024] The electronic grade tetramethylsilane filling system processing method provided by the application removes oxygen, carbon dioxide and particulate matter and other impurities in the 4MS gas through raw material tank liquid gasification and gas purification structure, and then converts the gas into liquid through the gas-liquid separator, removes metal ions through the liquid purifier, and completes the secondary filling treatment, so that ultrapure tetramethylsilane with a purity of ≥99.99% can be obtained. The filling method reduces the influence of filling power and improves the purity of tetramethylsilane during the filling process.
[0025] The beneficial effects of the application are as follows:
[0026] The present invention features a simple design and strong operability. The synergistic effect of the two-stage purifier ensures high purity of tetramethylsilane after filling, reduces safety risks associated with filling, saves costs, and facilitates large-scale filling. The resulting product meets the semiconductor industry's requirements for ultrapure tetramethylsilane, effectively ensuring and improving the quality stability and yield of semiconductor products, thereby achieving greater economic benefits and meeting market demand.
[0027] The present invention achieves high purity of tetramethylsilane after filling and reduces the impact of intermediate impurities through the synergistic effect of a two-stage purifier. The main impurities in the filling process come from impurities such as particulate matter and oxygen present in the raw materials, as well as metal ions, moisture, and particulate matter introduced during the disassembly and connection of the raw material tank, filling pipeline, and cylinder. This process first purifies the tetramethylsilane raw material by heating and vaporizing it using a gas purification structure, thereby reducing the impurity content in the tetramethylsilane. After liquefaction, the liquid purifier reduces the metal ion content to produce ultra-pure tetramethylsilane. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
