Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular to a waste gas treatment system in the semiconductor manufacturing process. Background Technology
[0002] Waste gas treatment is a crucial step in semiconductor manufacturing, aiming to reduce or eliminate harmful gases generated during the process to protect the environment and employee health.
[0003] For example, the waste gases generated during silicon carbide production mainly include SiCl4, SiHCl3, HCl, H2, N2, and small amounts of metal chlorides. These waste gases not only contain toxic and harmful substances but can also seriously impact the atmospheric environment. In practical applications, it is necessary to select appropriate treatment methods based on factors such as the type, concentration, and quantity of waste gases, and to carefully control the treatment effect to ensure that waste gas emissions comply with relevant national and local standards.
[0004] The existing patent document "CN215654636U A Waste Gas Treatment Device for Semiconductor Device Manufacturing" includes a reaction chamber, a washing chamber, a clean water tank, a cooling tower, and a water pump. A heat exchange mechanism is set between the reaction chamber and the washing chamber. The heat exchange mechanism includes a cylinder and a heat-conducting rod. The two ends of the cylinder are connected to the bottom outlet of the reaction chamber and the top inlet of the washing chamber, respectively, and are equipped with valves. The cylinder has a cavity inside its circumferential wall, and the upper and lower parts of the outer wall of the cylinder are respectively provided with a first outlet and a first inlet. The first outlet is connected to the air inlet of the reaction chamber. The two ends of the heat-conducting rod are located in the cavity of the circumferential wall of the cylinder and the cavity of the cylinder, respectively. Although the above-mentioned prior art can treat waste gas, the structure for waste gas spraying is set separately from the waste gas reaction chamber, resulting in a large overall footprint and the need for an additional cooling and heat insulation structure for the waste gas reaction chamber. Furthermore, the heating structure in the waste gas reaction chamber is in long-term contact with the waste gas, and the byproducts produced after the waste gas combustion are easily attached to it, which can affect subsequent normal use if accumulated over a long period of time.

[0070] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.
[0071] like Figure 1-10 As shown, a waste gas treatment system for semiconductor manufacturing includes a reaction chamber 14; it also includes: a spray washing mechanism surrounding the outer periphery of the reaction chamber 14, and a spiral spray channel 17 and a cooling chamber 16 disposed within the spray washing mechanism. The spray channel 17 is used for the flow of semiconductor waste gas, and its bottom end is connected to the bottom end of the reaction chamber 14; the cooling chamber 16 is located between the spray channel 17 and the outer wall of the reaction chamber 14; and a water receiving tank 6 disposed at the bottom of the spray channel 17, and connected to a high-pressure water pump 2 that can pump water from the tank into the cooling chamber 16. 2; Heater 18, which is disposed in the reaction chamber 14 and connected to a drive mechanism 5, which can drive the heater 18 to move vertically and rotate. An outlet pipe 20 communicating with the bottom of the reaction chamber 14 is provided below the heater 18, and the outlet pipe 20 is provided with a cover 21 that can be automatically released from positioning. A side opening 2001 is provided on one side of the outlet pipe 20, and a flushing assembly 26 connected to a high-pressure water pump 22 is provided on one side of the side opening 2001; Filter mechanism 12, which is connected to an exhaust pipe 9 and communicates with the top of the reaction chamber 14.
[0072] like Figure 1-2As shown, as a specific technical solution, an upper cover 3 and a lower cover 4 are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the reaction chamber 14, respectively; the drive mechanism 5 is installed on the upper cover 3, and the drive mechanism 5 includes a screw 501, a carrier 502, a fixing nut 503, a prism 504, and a motor 505. A fixing nut 503 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper cover 3. The screw 501 is threadedly connected to the fixing nut 503, and the bottom end of the screw 501 is fixedly connected to the top end of the heater 18. A mating hole with a top opening is opened at the axis of the screw 501. The mating hole is mated with the prism 504. The top end of the prism 504 is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the motor 505. The carrier 502 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the upper cover 3, and the motor 505 is fixedly connected to the top of the carrier 502.
[0073] When the heater 18 needs to be cleaned, the motor 505 drives the prism 504 to rotate. The prism 504 causes the screw 501 to be threaded around the fixing nut 503, driving the heater 18 to move downward and rotate at the same time. It passes through the outlet pipe 20 and is further rinsed through the rinsing assembly 26 on the side of the outlet pipe 20. Through the downward movement and rotation of the heater 18, cleaning is achieved at various positions along the length of the heater 18.
[0074] The prism 504 and the mating hole on the screw 501 cooperate with each other. When the screw 501 moves downward, the two slide vertically, so that they form a telescopic structure. Thus, the prism 504 will not affect the downward movement of the screw 501.
[0075] like Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown in Figure 5, as a specific technical solution, the spray washing mechanism includes an outer cylinder 1, an inner cylinder 13, and a spray pipe 15; the outer cylinder 1, the inner cylinder 13, and the reaction chamber 14 are coaxially arranged, the top end of the outer cylinder 1 and the top end of the inner cylinder 13 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the upper cover 3, the bottom end of the outer cylinder 1 and the bottom end of the inner cylinder 13 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the lower cover 4, the spray pipe 15 is arranged between the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 13, and the inner cylinder 13 and the outer wall of the reaction chamber 14 form a cooling cavity 16. The spray pipe 15 consists of a spiral blade 1501, a spiral tube 1502, a baffle 1503, and a spray head 1504. The spiral blade 1501 is fixedly installed between the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 13, forming an annular groove between them. The annular groove is divided into spray channels 17 by the spiral blade 1501. The spiral tube 1502 is fixedly laid along the length of the spiral blade 1501. The system is equipped with several evenly distributed spray heads 1504. The top end of the spiral tube 1502 is closed, while the bottom end of the spiral tube 1502 is open. The open end of the spiral tube 1502 is connected to a high-pressure water inlet pipe 8 fixed to the wall of the outer cylinder 1, and the high-pressure water inlet pipe 8 extends to the outside of the outer cylinder 1. A baffle plate 1503 is fixedly installed at the top end of the spiral blade 1501. The top end of the spray channel 17 is connected to an exhaust gas inlet pipe 11, and the exhaust gas inlet pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the upper cover 3. The lower cover 4 includes a first sealing plate 401, a second sealing plate 402, connecting strips 403, and an outer ring 404. The first sealing plate 401 is fixedly sealed to the bottom of the cooling chamber 16, and the second sealing plate 402 is fixedly sealed to the bottom of the reaction chamber 14. The first sealing plate 401 and the outer ring 404 are fixedly connected by several connecting strips 403. A water trough is formed between every two adjacent connecting strips 403. The water trough is located between the spray channel 17 and the water receiving pool 6. The top of the water receiving pool 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the lower cover 4, and a filter screen 601 is installed inside the water receiving pool 6.
[0076] The outer cylinder 1 is fixedly mounted with a support frame 2, which is used to support the height of the support frame 2.
[0077] The inlet of the high-pressure water pump 22 is connected to a first water pipe 23, which is connected to the bottom of the water receiving pool 6. The outlet of the high-pressure water pump 22 is connected to a three-way pipe 24. The two ports of the three-way pipe 24 are respectively equipped with a first electrically controlled valve 28 and a second electrically controlled valve 29. The first electrically controlled valve 28 is connected to a second water pipe 25, which is connected to the bottom of the cooling chamber 16. The top of the cooling chamber 16 is connected to a drain outlet 10, which is fixedly connected to the upper cover 3. The second electrically controlled valve 29 is connected to the flushing assembly 26.
[0078] The exhaust gas inlet pipe 11 is connected to the exhaust gas outlet pipe of the semiconductor manufacturing machine. An air pump can be installed at the connection point to transport the exhaust gas. During exhaust gas input, air also needs to be introduced into the exhaust gas inlet pipe 11. Figure 1 As shown, there are two exhaust gas inlet pipes 11, which can be used to introduce air and exhaust gas respectively. The exhaust gas enters the top of the spiral spray channel 17 through the exhaust gas inlet pipe 11 and flows downward in the spray channel 17. The high-pressure water inlet pipe 8 is connected to a high-pressure cold water source. The water enters the spray head 1504 evenly distributed in the spray channel 17 through the spiral pipe 1502 and is sprayed through the spray head 1504 to perform spray washing of the exhaust gas. Through the above spiral design, the spray washing path is greatly extended and the spray washing effect is improved.
[0079] After the spray water is sprayed out, it falls onto the spiral blade 1501, is guided along the spiral blade 1501, passes through the water tank, and enters the water receiving pool 6. After being filtered by the filter screen 601, the water is collected. The above design creates a continuous water layer on the spiral blade 1501. When the exhaust gas comes into contact with the surface of this water layer, it can adsorb dust and water-soluble components in the exhaust gas, thereby improving the effect of spray washing.
[0080] The water after spraying is recycled into the water receiving tank; it is then extracted by the high-pressure water pump 22. The water enters the high-pressure water pump 22 through the first water pipe 23. With the first solenoid valve 28 open and the second solenoid valve 29 closed, the water enters the cooling chamber 16 through the second water pipe 25. After passing through the cooling chamber 16, the water is discharged from the drain outlet 10. The discharged water flows back to the high-pressure cold water source connected to the high-pressure water inlet pipe 8 through the pipeline.
[0081] The above design enables the spray washing of semiconductor waste gas and the use of the water after spray washing as a cold source for the cooling chamber 16.

[0083] The exhaust gas after being washed by the spray channel 17 enters the reaction chamber 14 through the first gas supply pipe 7 and the second gas supply pipe 19, and is heated by the heater 18 in the reaction chamber 14 for combustion treatment.

[0085] After the exhaust gas is burned in the reaction chamber 14, it enters the housing 1201 through the exhaust pipe 9 and the connecting pipe 1202, then is filtered by the filter 1203, and finally discharged by the fan 1204.

The two ends of the first spring 2103 are fixedly connected to the inclined insert 2104 and the guide sleeve 2102, respectively. The inclined end of the inclined insert 2104 is embedded in the slot 2703. The bottom of the guide sleeve 2102 has a guide groove 2106, which is slidably connected to the connecting rod 2105. The top end of the connecting rod 2105 is fixedly connected to the inclined insert 2104. The connecting rod 2105 is located on one side of the blade block 2603. The movable tube 2602 is a non-circular tube to prevent rotation between the movable tube 2602 and the fixed cylinder 2601.
[0087] After the entire exhaust gas treatment system is used, the heater 18 is driven by the drive mechanism 5 to extend into the outlet pipe 20, aligning the bottom side of the heater 18 with the flushing assembly 26. The second electrically controlled valve 29 is opened, the first electrically controlled valve 28 is closed, and the high-pressure water pump 22 is started, allowing high-pressure water to flow into the flushing assembly 26. The water pressure causes the piston sleeve 2604 and the movable tube 2602 to move. The movable tube 2602 extends from the fixed cylinder 2601, simultaneously stretching the second spring 2605. The blade 2603 moves along with the movable tube 2602, and the blade 2603 compresses and pushes the connecting rod 210. 5. The connecting rod 2105 slides along the guide groove 2106, causing the inclined insert 2104 to retract into the guide sleeve 2102, while simultaneously compressing the first spring 2103; this automatically releases the positioning lock of the sleeve 2101. Then, the sleeve 2101 is manually rotated. Since both the sleeve 2101 and the outlet pipe 20 are circular tubes, the sleeve 2101 can rotate on the outlet pipe 20, ensuring that the guide sleeve 2102 and the inclined insert 2104 are not in the same vertical plane as the flushing assembly 26. Then, the sleeve 2101 is pulled down, which pulls the cover 21 off the outlet pipe 20, allowing the bottom end of the outlet pipe 20 and the side opening 2001 to be unobstructed and open. Through the above design, the cover 21 can be automatically released from its positioning without manual operation. Preferably, the surface of the connecting rod 2105 that contacts the blade block 2603 is a circular arc surface.
[0088] After the outlet pipe 20 is opened, the high-pressure water pump 22 pressurizes the water and continues to drive the movable pipe 2602 to move, so that the movable pipe 2602 enters the outlet pipe 20 through the side opening 2001. The blade of the blade block 2603 is in contact with the surface of the heater 18. After contact, there is a certain gap between the end of the movable pipe 2602 and the heater 18. Water from the high-pressure water pump 22 is sprayed out through the spray hole on the movable pipe 2602 to rinse the heater 18. When the heater 18 is driven to rotate and move downward, the circumferential residue of the heater 18 can be rinsed and removed.
[0089] After the heater 18 has finished cleaning, the high-pressure water pump 22 is turned off, and the movable tube 2602 is reset by the elastic force of the second spring 2605; then the heater 18 is reset by the drive mechanism 5; next, the sleeve 21 is installed, aligning the top port of the sleeve 2101 with the outlet pipe 20, and positioning the guide sleeve 2102 and the inclined insert block 2104 on the left side of the sleeve 2101. The sleeve 2101 is pushed upward, and during the upward movement of the sleeve 2101, the chamfer 2704 is used to... The inclined surface of the inclined insert 2104 is pressed to insert it into the guide sleeve 2102. At the same time, the first spring 2103 is compressed until the top of the sleeve 2101 presses the sealing gasket 2702, and the bottom of the outlet pipe 20 presses the sealing ring 2107. Then the sleeve 2101 is rotated until the inclined insert 2104 is aligned with the slot 2703. The elastic force of the first spring 2103 causes the inclined insert 2104 to be inserted into the slot 2703, thus completing the installation.
