[0002] In semiconductor equipment, most manufacturing or testing equipment requires a vacuum environment. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) used in wafer defect inspection equipment has particularly high vacuum requirements, requiring a high vacuum environment inside the SEM to prevent damage to internal components.

[0003] To ensure high vacuum requirements within a scanning electron microscope (SEM), a sealing valve is typically used to seal the SEM housing. Current sealing valves are typically custom-made parts that need to be assembled with the SEM. The various sealing structures in the sealing valve are press-fitted together, making it difficult to ensure relative leveling between adjacent sealing structures. Furthermore, when adjusting the sealing structure within the housing, the adjustment range is too narrow to achieve the required levelness, or the leveling cannot be adjusted at all. Consequently, a complete vacuum seal cannot be achieved, leading to contamination of internal components. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In the sealing valve as described above, the free end is in a partially spherical structure, so that the regulating member can roll with the free end within the spherical concave surface of the transmission portion.

[0009] In the above sealing valve, the radius of the sphere of the regulating member is 30% to 50% of the radius of the spherical concave surface of the transmission part.

[0010] As in the sealing valve above, the force-applying member further includes a force-applying body, the cantilever further includes a connecting portion, the free end and the force-applying body are connected via the connecting portion, and the force-applying body is movably arranged along a first direction to drive the free end to move along the first direction in the mounting recess.

[0011] The sealing valve as above, wherein the sealing valve also includes: a packaging member, which is detachably mounted on the side of the sealing member having a mounting recess, the packaging member has a connecting hole opposite to the mounting recess, the connecting portion is passed through the connecting hole along a first direction, and the aperture of the connecting hole is smaller than the diameter of the free end to limit the free end from detaching from the mounting recess.

[0012] As for the sealing valve above, the sealing member also has a sealing groove opened on the sealing surface, and the sealing groove is an annular groove. The sealing valve also includes: a sealing ring with an annular structure, the sealing ring is installed in the sealing groove, and at least part of the sealing ring protrudes from the sealing surface.

[0016] The sealing valve of the present application includes a sealing member, an adjusting member and a force-applying member. The sealing member has a sealing surface for sealing the opening and a mounting recess provided on the back side of the sealing surface. The cantilever of the force-applying member can extend into the mounting recess, and the free end of the cantilever can provide pressure to the adjusting member in the mounting recess.

[0023] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present application will be described in detail below. In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain the present application, rather than to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely to provide a better understanding of the present application by illustrating the examples of the present application.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a sealing valve, which includes a sealing member 10, an adjusting member 20 and a force-applying member 30, which are used to seal the opening to be sealed. The sealing member 10 includes a sealing surface 11 for sealing and a mounting recess 12 opened on the back side of the sealing surface 11; the force-applying member 30 is used to provide pressure to the sealing member 10, and the force-applying member 30 includes a cantilever 31 extending toward the opening, and the cantilever 31 can be extended into the mounting recess 12, and the surface of the free end 311 of the cantilever 31 is a curved surface convex toward the sealing member 10; the adjusting member 20 can be rotatably arranged in the mounting recess 12 and rollingly matched with the curved surface of the free end 311.

[0025] In a specific implementation, the sealing valve of the present application includes a sealing member 10, an adjusting member 20 and a force member 30. The sealing member 10 has a sealing surface 11 for blocking the opening and a mounting recess 12 provided on the back of the sealing surface 11. The cantilever 31 of the force member 30 can extend into the mounting recess 12, and the free end 311 of the cantilever 31 can provide pressure to the adjusting member 20 in the mounting recess 12. Therefore, the setting of the adjusting member 20 can transmit the pressure of the free end 311 to the sealing member 10, and since the adjusting member 20 is rolled in the mounting recess The adjusting member 20 is in the part 12 and can roll with the curved surface of the free end 311 of the cantilever 31. The rolling adjusting member 20 can transmit the pressure of the free end 311 to different positions of the mounting recess 12, so that the sealing surface 11 of the seal 10 rotates relative to the opening plane after being subjected to the applied pressure, thereby expanding the angle adjustment range of the force-applying member 30 for the sealing surface 11, thereby realizing the adjustment of the angle of the sealing surface 11, so that the sealing surface 11 of the seal 10 can meet the horizontality requirement required for sealing, and ensure the vacuum sealing effect.

[0026] Therefore, based on the sealing range of the sealing surface 11 itself, the setting of the adjustment member 20 expands the angle adjustment range of the force member 30 with respect to the sealing surface 11, so that the sealing surface 11 of the sealing member 10 can meet the horizontality requirement required for sealing, thereby ensuring the vacuum sealing effect.

[0027] Specifically, the orthographic projection of the free end 311 on the sealing surface 11 is a circle, and the orthographic projection of the mounting recess 12 on the sealing surface 11 is a circle concentric with the orthographic projection of the free end 311, and the circular diameter of the mounting recess 12 is larger than the circular diameter of the free end 311, so that it can cover the circular shape of the free end 311. When adjusting the force range, the adjusting member 20 can be rolled in different directions in the mounting recess 12 according to the actual required angle adjustment, so that the sealing surface 11 is level with the opening, thereby achieving complete sealing of the opening.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sealing valve of an embodiment of the present application, wherein the mounting recess 12 includes a connecting portion 121 and a transmission portion 122 that are connected to each other, the connecting portion 121 is a hole-shaped structure extending along the first direction X, one end of the connecting portion 121 is opened on the back side of the sealing surface 11, and the other end is connected to the transmission portion 122, and the surface of the transmission portion 122 is an arc-shaped concave structure for rolling cooperation with the adjusting member 20.

[0029] In a specific implementation, the transmission portion 122 of the mounting recess 12 is located close to the sealing surface 11 and spaced apart from the sealing surface 11. The connecting portion 121 is located close to the back surface of the sealing surface 11 and penetrates the back surface of the sealing surface 11 to provide a passage space for the installation of the force-applying member 30. After the force-applying member 30 is installed, when the adjusting member 20 is in transmission engagement with the mounting recess 12, the connecting portion 121 provides a movable space for the cantilever 31 of the force-applying member 30, allowing the cantilever 31 to move freely within the connecting portion 121, thereby driving the free end 311 to engage in rolling engagement with the adjusting member 20, and allowing the adjusting member 20 to roll freely within the transmission portion 122, thereby achieving angle adjustment of the sealing surface 11.

[0030] The surface of the transmission part 122 has an arc-shaped concave structure. When the adjustment member 20 rolls in the transmission part 122, it can generate pressure on the contact position, thereby pressing the corresponding sealing surface 11 downward until it is completely fitted into the opening, thereby realizing angle adjustment of the sealing surface 11.

[0031] Furthermore, the edge of the arc-shaped concave transmission portion 122 can produce a certain blocking effect on the rolling of the adjustment member 20 , thereby reducing the probability of the adjustment member 20 being separated from the transmission portion 122 .

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the sealing valve of the embodiment of the present application, the adjusting member 20 is in a spherical structure, the surface of the transmission part 122 is in a partially spherical concave structure, and the adjusting member 20 is rollingly installed in the transmission part 122.

[0033] In specific implementation, the spherical structure of the adjusting member 20 can roll freely in the transmission part 122 with a partially spherical concave surface to achieve angle adjustment in all directions, thereby increasing the adjustment range and making the sealing surface 11 have a completely sealed effect after adjustment.

[0034] The surface of the connecting portion 121 is a cylindrical structure extending along the first direction X, and the surface of the transmission portion 122 is a hemispherical concave structure. The surface of the connecting portion 121 is connected to the surface of the transmission portion 122 and the two are tangentially connected. Moreover, since the connecting portion 121 has a certain height in the first direction X, the adjusting member 20 will not roll to completely separate from the mounting recess 12. It can always roll within the hemispherical concave range of the transmission portion 122, thereby applying pressure to the sealing member 10.

[0035] Optionally, the adjusting member 20 may also be a cylindrical structure or an elliptical structure that can roll in the mounting recess 12 , suitable for angle adjustment in a fixed direction.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in the sealing valve of the embodiment of the present application, the free end 311 is in a partially spherical structure, so that the regulating member 20 can roll with the free end 311 within the spherical concave range of the transmission portion 122 .

[0037] In specific implementation, the free end 311 is a partial spherical structure, which is compatible with the transmission part 122 whose surface is a partial spherical concave surface. When the adjustment part 20 with a spherical structure rolls, the free ends 311 and the transmission part 122 on both sides thereof roll relative to it in opposite directions, thereby realizing the transmission of action from the force-applying part 30 to the sealing part 10.

[0038] When the free end 311 and the adjusting member 20 roll relative to each other until they contact the edge of the hemispherical structure, the adjusting member 20 also rolls to the edge of the hemispherical concave surface within the transmission portion 122. When the free end 311 and the adjusting member 20 roll relative to each other until they contact the middle of the hemispherical structure, the adjusting member 20 also rolls to the middle of the hemispherical concave surface within the transmission portion 122. Therefore, the free end 311 of the hemispherical structure can adapt to the adjustment range of the adjusting member 20 within the transmission portion 122, allowing the adjusting member 20 to achieve balance at all positions within the transmission portion 122.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the sealing valve of the embodiment of the present application, the spherical radius of the adjusting member 20 is 30% to 50% of the radius of the spherical concave surface of the transmission part 122. Within this range, the spherical radius of the adjusting member 20 is less than half the radius of the spherical concave surface of the transmission part 122, so that the diameter of the adjusting member 20 can be smaller than the radius of the spherical concave surface of the transmission part 122, thereby allowing the adjusting member 20 to be entirely accommodated within the transmission part 122, achieving its rolling adjustment function; and the spherical radius of the adjusting member 20 can also be greater than 30% of the radius of the spherical concave surface of the transmission part 122, so that the adjusting member 20 has sufficient volume, and when the free end 311 moves up and down along the first direction X, it does not need to move too much, that is, the adjusting member 20 can achieve free rolling within the transmission part 122, thereby reducing the difficulty of adjustment.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sealing valve of an embodiment of the present application, wherein the force-applying member 30 further includes a force-applying body 32, the cantilever 31 further includes a connecting portion 312, the free end 311 and the force-applying body 32 are connected via the connecting portion 312, and the force-applying body 32 is movably arranged along the first direction X to drive the free end 311 to move along the first direction X in the mounting recess 12.

[0041] In specific implementation, the force-applying body 32 drives the free end 311 to move downward in the first direction X, generating pressure on the spherical adjusting member 20. Pressure is also generated between the adjusting member 20 and the transmission portion 122 of the mounting recess 12. When the sealing surface 11 is relatively tilted relative to the plane of the opening, the pressure causes the sealing surface 11 to rotate toward an angle parallel to the plane of the opening. When the sealing member 10 rotates, relative rolling occurs between the adjusting member 20, the free end 311, and the transmission portion 122. Therefore, by moving the force-applying body 32 in the first direction X, the angle of the sealing surface 11 can be adjusted, ensuring that the sealing surface 11 meets the required levelness for sealing. This adjustment method is simple to operate, eliminating the need for specific control of the adjustment direction of the force-applying member 30, and simplifying the adjustment and operation steps.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sealing valve of an embodiment of the present application, wherein the sealing valve further includes: a packaging member 40, which is detachably mounted on the side of the sealing member 10 having the mounting recess 12, the packaging member 40 has a connecting hole 41 opposite to the mounting recess 12, the connecting portion 312 is penetrated in the connecting hole 41 along the first direction X, and the aperture of the connecting hole 41 is smaller than the diameter of the free end 311 to limit the free end 311 from detaching from the mounting recess 12.

[0043] In specific implementation, when the force-applying body 32 drives the cantilever 31 to move up and down along the first direction X, the connecting portion 312 of the cantilever 31 moves along the first direction X in the connecting hole 41 of the package 40, and the free end 311 can move freely along the first direction X in the mounting recess 12, so the installation of the package 40 will not affect the overall movement of the cantilever 31.

[0044] Moreover, the aperture of the connecting hole 41 is smaller than the diameter of the free end 311. When the free end 311 moves in a direction away from the sealing surface 11, the package 40 will restrict the free end 311 at the exit of the mounting recess 12. The plane of the free end 311 of the hemispherical structure will be against the package 40, preventing the free end 311 from detaching from the mounting recess 12, and further preventing the adjusting member 20 of the spherical structure from detaching from the mounting recess 12, thereby eliminating the need for reassembly after detachment.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sealing valve of an embodiment of the present application, wherein the sealing member 10 further has a sealing groove 13 opened on the sealing surface 11, the sealing groove 13 is an annular groove, and the sealing valve further includes a sealing ring 50, which is an annular structure. The sealing ring 50 is installed in the sealing groove 13, and at least part of the sealing ring 50 protrudes from the sealing surface 11.

[0046] In specific implementation, the sealing ring 50 is installed in the sealing groove 13. When the sealing surface 11 seals the opening, the sealing ring 50 can be arranged around the opening. Since at least part of the sealing ring 50 protrudes from the sealing surface 11, the contact between the sealing ring 50 and the surface where the opening is located is closer, thereby improving the sealing effect of the opening.

[0047] Specifically, the cross-section of the sealing groove 13 perpendicular to its own extension direction is trapezoidal, and the width of the trapezoid gradually decreases along the direction from the bottom wall of the sealing groove 13 to the opening of the sealing groove 13, that is, the lower bottom of the trapezoid is the bottom wall of the sealing groove 13, the two sides of the trapezoid are the two side walls of the sealing groove 13, and the upper bottom of the trapezoid is the opening of the sealing groove 13. Therefore, the width of the sealing groove 13 at the opening of the sealing surface 11 is the smallest. Such a shape setting can make most of the sealing ring 50 tightly clamped therein, preventing the sealing ring 50 from falling off therein and affecting the sealing effect.

[0048] Specifically, the sealing ring 50 is made of an elastic rubber material. When the sealing ring 50 is sleeved inside the sealing groove 13, it can be tightened to achieve a stable connection with the sealing groove 13. When the sealing ring 50 is squeezed downward along the first direction X, the sealing ring 50 can undergo elastic deformation, thereby tightly resting on the surface where the opening is located, further improving the sealing effect.

[0049] In the sealing valve of the embodiment of the present application, the cross-sectional shape of the sealing ring 50 perpendicular to its own circumference is one of a circle, an ellipse and a trapezoid. Figure 2 As shown, the sealing ring 50 with a circular cross-section is convenient for clamping between it and the trapezoidal sealing groove 13, thereby ensuring the fixing effect of the sealing ring 50; while the sealing ring 50 with an elliptical or trapezoidal cross-section is adopted, the portion of the sealing ring 50 protruding from the sealing groove 13 tends to gradually decrease in width, that is, along the direction from the sealing surface 11 to the opening, the cross-sectional width of the protruding portion of the sealing ring 50 gradually decreases, so that when the sealing ring 50 is squeezed, the required pressure is smaller and the overall compression of the sealing ring 50 is larger, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0050] In the sealing valve of the embodiment of the present application, the regulating member 20 is made of zirconium oxide material.

[0051] The zirconia-made adjusting member 20 has a high hardness and is not easily deformed under the pressure of the seal 10 and the force-applying member 30. This ensures accurate adjustment of the horizontality of the sealing surface 11, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the sealing surface 11 on the opening. Furthermore, the zirconia-made adjusting member 20 has a relatively smooth surface, which satisfies the rolling requirements between it and the seal 10 and the force-applying member 30, thus preventing the adjusting member 20 from becoming unable to roll and thus becoming inoperable during the adjustment process.

[0052] Optionally, the adjusting member 20 may be made of metal materials such as steel, which needs to meet the requirements of smooth surface and high hardness.

[0053] The embodiment of the present application further provides a sealing valve as described above, wherein the scanning electron microscope further includes: a sealing plate 60 having air holes 61 for vacuuming, and the openings of the air holes 61 are arranged toward the sealing surface 11 of the sealing valve.

[0054] In a specific implementation, the sealing plate 60 has a pore 61 for vacuuming. The pore 61 extends through the sealing plate 60, and the scanning electron microscope vacuums the internal environment through the pore 61 of the sealing plate 60. Both ends of the pore 61 have openings, and the opening toward the sealing member 10 can be blocked by the sealing surface 11, thereby completely sealing the pore 61.

[0055] The sealing valve in the embodiment of the present application is used to seal the air hole 61. The sealing valve includes a sealing member 10, an adjusting member 20 and a force member 30. The sealing member 10 has a sealing surface 11 for blocking the air hole 61 and a mounting recess 12 opened on the back of the sealing surface 11. The cantilever 31 of the force member 30 can extend into the mounting recess 12. The free end 311 of the cantilever 31 can provide pressure to the adjusting member 20 in the mounting recess 12. Therefore, the setting of the adjusting member 20 can transmit the pressure of the free end 311 to the sealing member 10, and because the adjusting member 2 The adjusting member 20 is arranged in a rolling manner in the mounting recess 12 and can roll with the curved surface of the free end 311 of the cantilever 31. The rolling adjusting member 20 can transmit the pressure of the free end 311 to different positions of the mounting recess 12, so that the sealing surface 11 of the sealing member 10 rotates relative to the opening plane after the pressure is applied, thereby expanding the angle adjustment range of the force-applying member 30 with respect to the sealing surface 11, thereby achieving adjustment of the angle of the sealing surface 11, so that the sealing surface 11 of the sealing member 10 can meet the horizontality requirement required for sealing, and ensure the vacuum sealing effect.
