Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of high-end equipment manufacturing, and particularly to a deposition system for producing chemical vapor deposition silicon carbide rings. Background Art

[0002] As a third-generation semiconductor material, silicon carbide has excellent heat resistance, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance and thermal shock resistance. It is a material with broad application prospects in high-temperature semiconductors, high-temperature structural materials and semiconductor components. For sintered silicon carbide, generally a high temperature above 2000°C is required during the manufacturing process, and due to the presence of sintering additives and pores, it has the disadvantage of low purity; while silicon carbide manufactured by chemical vapor deposition (chemical vapor deposition SiC, CVD-SiC) uses gases containing silicon (Si) and carbon (C), and is relatively heated at about 1200 to 1500°C, reducing the required temperature. Since the silicon carbide solid is formed on a single-crystal substrate using gases at a lower temperature, it has the advantages of being dense and having high purity. In the existing chemical vapor deposition system for silicon carbide epitaxial growth, basically, sources containing Si and C are injected into a reactor with a heating function, and the single-crystal substrate is placed into the reactor through a graphite bracket, and finally an epitaxial layer is grown through a chemical reaction on the surface of the single-crystal substrate.

[0003] However, when placing the single-crystal substrate, due to the limited space inside the equipment, if the single-crystal substrates are stacked too densely, it will cause poor circulation of the gases containing silicon and carbon in the reactor, and if the single-crystal substrates are stacked too few, it will cause too fast gas flow rate in the reactor. Therefore, the above situations are likely to have a greater impact on the production efficiency and quality of chemical vapor deposition silicon carbide solids, and since the single-crystal substrate is relatively thin, it is difficult to maintain the stability of the single-crystal substrate while reducing the volume of the graphite bracket.

[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] Next, the concepts involved in the present invention will be described first in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted here that the following descriptions of each concept are only for making the content of the present invention easier to understand, and do not represent a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention; at the same time, without conflict, the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0029] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, the present invention provides an embodiment of a deposition system for producing chemical vapor deposition silicon carbide rings, including a furnace body 1 with a reaction chamber inside. The reaction chamber is made of high-temperature resistant insulating materials. A heating module for providing heat energy to the reaction chamber is also provided inside the furnace body 1. The heating module includes, but is not limited to, the method of arranging multiple groups of electric heating wires around the furnace body 1, as long as the required heating temperature can be achieved. A detachable bottom cover 4 is provided at the bottom of the furnace body 1, and the bottom cover 4 is used to seal the bottom of the furnace body 1.

[0030] The nozzle groups 3, and there are multiple nozzle groups 3. The multiple nozzle groups 3 pass through the furnace body 1 and are fixed on the side wall of the furnace body 1. The multiple nozzle groups 3 are all connected with gas pipelines. The gas pipelines transport gas into the reaction chamber through the nozzle groups 3. There are four nozzle groups 3, and the four nozzle groups 3 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the furnace body 1. Each nozzle group 3 includes multiple nozzles, and the multiple nozzles are fixed on the side wall of the furnace body 1 at equal intervals from top to bottom. The four nozzle groups 3 transport the gas containing silicon and carbon in the gas pipeline to the multiple nozzles from four directions, and then spray the gas containing silicon and carbon into the furnace body 1 through the multiple nozzles arranged from top to bottom, so that the gas containing silicon and carbon can be quickly and evenly dispersed into the reaction chamber in the furnace body 1 to ensure the deposition rate and uniformity of silicon carbide on the annular single-crystal substrate 6. An air outlet is arranged at a position near the lower end of the furnace body 1 to discharge the waste gas after the reaction.

[0031] Multiple graphite brackets 5 and multiple annular single-crystal substrates 6. The graphite brackets 5 are installed on the inner bottom of the bottom cover 4. The graphite brackets 5 are used to support the annular single-crystal substrates 6. The graphite brackets 5 are detachable. After the bottom cover 4 is connected to the furnace body 1, both the graphite brackets 5 and the annular single-crystal substrates 6 are located in the reaction chamber.

[0032] The graphite bracket 5 includes a support column 12, an assembly column 13, and a plug-in shaft 14. The support column 12 is fixed on the inner bottom of the bottom cover 4. There are multiple assembly columns 13 and horizontal support rods 17 corresponding to each other one by one. A clamping protrusion 15 is arranged at the top of the support column 12 and the assembly column 13. A clamping groove 16 is opened at the bottom of the assembly column 13. The clamping protrusion 15 can be engaged with the clamping groove 16. The multiple assembly columns 13 are stacked on the top of the support column 12 in sequence. The plug-in shaft 14 is inserted into the center of the assembly column 13 to connect the support column 12 and the multiple assembly columns 13. Three horizontally arranged support rods 17 are fixed on the circumferential surface of each assembly column 13 at equal intervals. A vertical upward clamping pin 18 is fixed at the end of each horizontal support rod 17. The annular single-crystal substrate 6 is placed on the top of the clamping pin 18.

[0033] When different numbers of annular single-crystal substrates 6 need to be placed into the furnace body 1, the corresponding number of assembly columns 13 can be selected according to the number of annular single-crystal substrates 6. That is, three horizontal support rods 17 are installed on each assembly column 13, and the clamping pins 18 are fixed at the ends of the horizontal support rods 17 to form a set of support structures to support a single annular single-crystal substrate 6. The multiple sets of support structures are directly fixedly connected to each other through the plug-in shaft 14, the clamping groove 16, and the clamping protrusion 15. By repeatedly using the above combination, the height of the graphite bracket 5 can be adjusted according to the number of annular single-crystal substrates 6. Compared with the method of using an integral graphite bracket 5, in this embodiment, by adjusting the number of assembly columns 13, it is possible to avoid the graphite bracket 5 occupying too much space in the reaction chamber, thereby reducing the influence of the graphite bracket 5 on the gas flow.

[0034] Stabilizing mechanism, the stabilizing mechanism includes a lifting seat 7, a support arm 8 and a clamping assembly 9. The support arm 8 is fixed on the lifting seat 7, and the clamping assembly 9 is installed on the support arm 8. When assembling the graphite bracket 5, since the assembling columns 13 and the annular single-crystal substrate 6 are stacked layer by layer from bottom to top by a manipulator, when the stacking height of the assembling columns 13 increases, it is necessary to stably support the upper assembling columns 13 to prevent the annular single-crystal substrate 6 from shaking during the stacking process. At this time, by driving the clamping assembly 9 to move up and down through the lifting seat 7, different parts of the graphite bracket 5 can be supported.

[0035] The clamping assembly 9 includes an inner gear ring 19, an outer gear ring 20, a gear ring bracket 21, a gear set 22, a plurality of fixed shafts 23 and a plurality of chucks 24. The inner circle of the inner gear ring 19 and the outer circle of the outer gear ring 20 are respectively engaged with the gear set 22. The gear set 22 can drive the inner gear ring 19 and the outer gear ring 20 to rotate in opposite directions. The bottoms of the inner gear ring 19 and the outer gear ring 20 are rotatably installed on the top of the gear ring bracket 21. A plurality of chucks 24 are rotatably installed on the fixed shafts 23. The fixed shafts 23 are fixed to the bottom of the gear ring bracket 21 through connecting blocks 25. The front ends of the plurality of chucks 24 all face the graphite bracket 5. The inner gear ring 19 and the outer gear ring 20 are used to drive the chucks 24 to clamp or loosen the graphite bracket 5.

[0036] The chuck 24 further includes a first jaw 26 and a second jaw 27. The middle sections of the first jaw 26 and the second jaw 27 are cross-set and the cross-section is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 23. Waist-shaped holes are provided at the tails of the first jaw 26 and the second jaw 27. A first sliding column 28 is arranged in the waist-shaped hole at the tail of the first jaw 26. The bottom of the first sliding column 28 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer gear ring 20 through a connecting piece. A second sliding column 29 is arranged in the waist-shaped hole at the tail of the second jaw 27. The bottom of the second sliding column 29 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the inner gear ring 19.

[0037] The gear set 22 includes a gear seat 30, a driving gear 31 and two driven gears 32. The driving gear 31 and the two driven gears 32 are arranged side by side and rotatably installed on the gear seat 30. The gear seat 30 is fixed to the bottom of the gear ring bracket 21. The two driven gears 32 are located on both sides of the driving gear 31 so as to drive the two driven gears 32 to rotate in opposite directions through the driving gear 31. The two driven gears 32 are respectively engaged with the inner side of the inner gear ring 19 and the outer side of the outer gear ring 20. The driving wheel is driven to rotate by a servo motor.

[0038] The working principle of the stabilizing mechanism is as follows: When the manipulator stacks the assembling columns 13 and the annular single-crystal substrate 6 layer by layer, in order to prevent the assembling column 13 from causing the placement position of the annular single-crystal substrate 6 to shift due to slight vibration, the gear set 22 drives the inner gear ring 19 and the outer gear ring 20 to rotate in opposite directions. When the inner gear ring 19 and the outer gear ring 20 rotate in opposite directions, they drive the first sliding column 28 and the second sliding column 29 to move away from each other, causing the front ends of the first clamping jaw 26 and the second clamping jaw 27 to open. This is similar to the principle of scissors opening. Furthermore, through the rotation of the inner gear ring 19 and the outer gear ring 20, the simultaneous opening and clamping actions of multiple chucks 24 are achieved, so as to synchronously clamp multiple graphite brackets 5. And the inner gear ring 19 and the outer gear ring 20 are also located outside the graphite bracket 5, and can protect the surroundings of both during the assembly of the graphite bracket 5 and the placement of the annular single-crystal substrate 6. In addition, the lifting seat 7 can be adjusted according to the stacking height of the annular single-crystal substrate 6, so as to support the upper end of the graphite bracket 5, making the graphite bracket 5 more stable during assembly and the process of stacking the annular single-crystal substrate 6. When the placement of the annular single-crystal substrate 6 is completed, the inner gear ring 19 and the outer gear ring 20 can be disengaged from above the graphite bracket 5, and then the bottom cover 4 and the graphite bracket 5 with the annular single-crystal substrate 6 placed thereon are moved away from below the inner gear ring 19 through the conveying mechanism 10.

[0039] The conveying mechanism 10 and the lifting mechanism 11. The conveying mechanism 10 is used to transport the bottom cover 4 to the lower part of the furnace body 1, and the lifting mechanism 11 is used to lift the bottom cover 4 to be engaged with the bottom of the furnace body 1.

[0040] The conveying mechanism 10 includes a track 33, a platform truck 34 and a fixing frame 35. The bottom cover 4 is installed on the platform truck 34 through the fixing frame 35. The track 33 is laid under the platform truck 34 and extends to the bottom of the lifting mechanism 11.

[0041] The lifting mechanism 11 includes a support frame 36, a bottom bracket 37, a bearing bracket 38, a guide rail 39 and a lead screw 40. The furnace body 1 is fixed on the top of the support frame 36. An ascending channel is formed in the center of the support frame 36. The bottom bracket 37 is fixed on both sides of the track 33 and is higher than the track 33. The upper end of the guide rail 39 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 36, and the lower end of the guide rail 39 is fixedly connected to the bottom bracket 37. The bearing bracket 38 is slidably installed on the guide rail 39. The lead screw 40 is threadedly connected to the bearing bracket 38. The rotation of the lead screw 40 can drive the bearing bracket 38 to rise or fall along the guide rail 39. A clamping block 41 is fixed on the side of the platform truck 34, and a limiting groove 42 is formed on the bearing bracket 38. When the platform truck 34 moves along the track 33 to the position of the bearing bracket 38, the clamping block 41 is located above the bearing bracket 38. When the bearing bracket 38 moves upward, the clamping block 41 can enter the limiting groove 42 and be engaged with the limiting groove 42.

[0042] The upper end of the lead screw 40 is connected to the output shaft of the motor through the worm and worm gear reducer 2, and the worm and worm gear reducer 2 is fixed on the support frame 36.

[0043] When the platform truck 34 moves to the lifting mechanism 11, the latch 41 on the side of the platform truck 34 is located directly above the bearing bracket 38. At this time, the motor drives the lead screw 40 to move through the worm and worm gear reducer 2, causing the bearing bracket 38 to rise, so that the latch 41 enters the limit groove 42 and engages with the limit groove 42 to prevent the platform truck 34 from shaking during the rising process. Then, the bearing bracket 38 continues to drive the platform truck 34, the bottom cover 4 and the graphite bracket 5 with the annular single crystal substrate 6 placed thereon to move upward together until the bottom cover 4 is engaged with the bottom of the furnace body 1. At this time, the annular single crystal substrate 6 and the graphite bracket 5 are sent into the reaction chamber in the furnace body 1. Finally, the bottom cover 4 and the furnace body 1 are locked by a clamp. During the locking process, the bearing bracket 38 always presses the bottom cover 4 against the furnace body 1. And because the worm and worm gear reducer 2 has a self-locking function, it can effectively prevent the bottom cover 4 from falling during the locking process. On the other hand, by pressing the bottom cover 4 against the furnace body 1 with the bearing bracket 38, compared with manually lifting and pressing the bottom cover 4, the mechanical pressing method can also make the two fit more closely.

[0044] In this article, specific examples are used to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the present invention and its core idea. The above is only the preferred implementation manner of the present invention. It should be noted that due to the limited nature of written expression and objectively existing infinite specific structures, for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements, refinements or changes can be made, or the above technical features can be combined in an appropriate manner; these improvements, refinements, changes or combinations, or directly applying the concept and technical solution of the invention to other occasions without improvement, should all be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
