[0002] In the semiconductor industry, there are strict requirements for the service life of fluid control components. Especially for diaphragm valves, customers require the valve to be opened and closed more than 10 million times. For some special diaphragm valves, the requirement is up to 30 million times, or even 100 million times. However, the valve life of existing diaphragm valves cannot fully meet the customer's usage requirements. The coating at the key parts of the diaphragm valve often peels off, and the peeled coating will fall into the interior of the diaphragm valve, affecting the opening and closing actions of the diaphragm valve, causing leakage accidents, and further affecting the life of the diaphragm valve. Conventional spraying methods cannot be applied to the surface treatment of semiconductor diaphragm valves. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a spraying treatment method for diaphragm valve parts to extend the life of diaphragm valves. Otherwise, it will have a great impact on the entire integrated circuit process fluid control. Summary of the Invention

[0022] As Figure 1 shown, the embodiments of the present application provide a processing method for diaphragm valve parts, including the following steps:

[0023] Step S1, perform surface pretreatment on the diaphragm valve parts, and the pretreatment includes at least one of degreasing, phosphating, and sandblasting.

[0024] The diaphragm valve parts can be at least one of the valve cover nut and the ejector pin. The surface of the diaphragm valve parts is pretreated. The pretreatment includes at least one of degreasing, phosphating and sandblasting.

[0025] The best surface bonding effect is achieved after sandblasting and / or phosphating and cleaning. If the surface roughness of the diaphragm valve parts meets the production requirements, only degreasing and cleaning pretreatment can also be used.

[0026] Step S2: Mix the paint, thinner and additive and perform pre-stirring until there is no sludge-like precipitate to obtain the coating paint. Then seal the coating paint in a container and continuously perform electric stirring.

[0027] Mix the paint, thinner and additive and perform pre-stirring. The duration of pre-stirring can be 3 - 5 minutes. Then seal the coating paint in a container and continuously perform electric stirring at a stirring speed of 50 - 60 RPM for at least 4 hours or more, with continuous stirring.

[0028] The composition of the paint is grease, such as MOLYKOTE D7825 of Dow Corning Corporation (the specific composition includes mineral oil, solid lubricant, thickener, etc.).

[0029] The composition of the thinner is MOLYKOTE 7415 of Dow Corning Corporation.

[0030] The composition of the additive is a common additive component in the art and is not limited herein.

[0031] Step S3: Use a spray gun to maintain an appropriate spraying angle and spraying distance, and evenly spray the stirred coating paint onto the surface of the diaphragm valve parts at room temperature. The spraying thickness is controlled within 5 - 13 um. The relative humidity during spraying is controlled below 40%. Step S3 is the spraying of the coating paint.

[0032] Dry the sprayed diaphragm valve parts. Place the sprayed diaphragm valve parts in an oven at 80°C to dry, so that the coating levels and the solvent volatilizes.

[0033] Step S4: Curing of the coating paint. Pre-cure the sprayed diaphragm valve parts in an oven at the first temperature, and then cure the pre-cured diaphragm valve parts in an oven at the second temperature. The first temperature is lower than the second temperature.

[0034] For example, the first temperature is 120°C and the second temperature is 220°C. Specifically, pre-cure the sprayed diaphragm valve parts in an oven at 120°C for 15 minutes, and then cure the pre-cured sprayed diaphragm valve parts in an oven at 220°C for 30 minutes.

[0035] Step S5: Randomly inspect the thickness of the diaphragm valve parts after spraying and curing, and observe the surface coating condition. Step S5 is the inspection of the coating paint. In one embodiment, a film thickness gauge is used to randomly inspect the thickness of the diaphragm valve parts after spraying and curing, and observe the surface coating condition.

[0036] In the above method, a coating is added to the surface of the diaphragm valve parts. This coating has an extremely low friction coefficient, enabling the coating surface to have good self-lubricating performance, which can reduce the wear and energy consumption of the diaphragm valve, thereby extending the service life of the diaphragm valve. Moreover, this coating has high temperature resistance and can work stably for a long time in a high-temperature environment. Its working temperature is as high as over 300 °C and it can withstand the erosion of high-temperature heat sources. This coating has good corrosion resistance to chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and solvents, and can protect the substrate from corrosion. The coating also has good insulation performance and can effectively prevent current leakage and arc discharge. This coating also has good anti-sticking properties. The coating surface is smooth and not easily attached with impurities, and can effectively prevent dust, liquids, etc. from adhering to the coating surface.

[0037] In one embodiment, Step S1 includes the following sub-steps:

[0038] Step 11: Degrease the diaphragm valve parts.

[0039] Step 12: Immerse the degreased diaphragm valve parts in an organic solvent for about 1 - 2 minutes. The organic solvent can be common solvents such as acetone and acetonitrile, or MOLYKOTE / molybdate ester diluents, such as MOLYKOTE 7415 transparent anti-friction coating ketone diluent of Dow Corning DuPont Molykote.

[0040] Step 13: Put the immersed diaphragm valve parts into a hot air oven at 80 °C and dry for 10 - 15 minutes. After ensuring that there is no water stain, no oil stain, and no dust on the surface, the spraying operation of Step S3 can be carried out.

[0041] In one embodiment, the duration of the pre-stirring is 3 - 5 minutes.

[0042] In one embodiment, the stirring speed of the electric stirring is 50 - 60 RPM, and the stirring duration is not less than 4 hours.

[0043] In one embodiment, the spraying angle is 45°, and the spraying distance is 24 - 26 cm.

[0044] In one embodiment, the value range of the first temperature is 100 - 150 °C, and the value range of the second temperature is 200 - 250 °C.

[0045] In one embodiment, the stirred coating paint is evenly sprayed onto the surface of the diaphragm valve parts at room temperature, and the environmental humidity is not greater than 40%.

[0046] In one embodiment, the diaphragm valve parts after spraying in step S3 are placed in an environment of 80°C for 15 - 20 minutes for drying, and then put into the oven in step S4 for curing.

[0047] In one embodiment, a film thickness gauge is used to randomly check the thickness of the diaphragm valve parts after spraying and curing, and the surface coating condition is observed.

[0048] Embodiment 1

[0049] A processing method for diaphragm valve parts includes the following steps:

[0050] Step S1, pre-treat the surface of the diaphragm valve parts, and the pre-treatment includes at least one of degreasing, phosphating and sandblasting.

[0051] The diaphragm valve part is a valve cover nut. The surface of the diaphragm valve part is pre-treated, and the pre-treatment includes degreasing, phosphating and sandblasting.

[0052] The specific steps of degreasing are to put the diaphragm valve parts into a degreasing agent (the degreasing agent is a commercially available degreasing agent, and the concentration of the degreasing agent is generally 3% - 10% by mass fraction), the degreasing time is 5 - 15 minutes, and the temperature range is 40 - 60°C.

[0053] The specific steps of phosphating are to put the diaphragm valve parts into a phosphating system. The temperature of the phosphating treatment is generally 30 - 50°C, and the phosphating time is 5 - 30 minutes. Taking the zinc-based phosphating system as an example, the zinc ion concentration is 10 - 30 g / L, and the concentration of dihydrogen phosphate ions is 20 - 50 g / L.

[0054] The pressure of sandblasting is 0.3 - 0.8 Mpa, and the sandblasting distance is 100 - 300 mm. Preferably, the sandblasting distance is controlled at 150 - 250 mm, which can ensure that the sandblasting particles evenly impact the surface of the parts. The sandblasting medium can be quartz sand, glass beads, steel shot, etc. For diaphragm valve parts, if thick oxide scales and rust need to be removed, steel shot can be used; if a relatively smooth surface needs to be obtained, glass beads can be used. The particle size range of the sandblasting medium is between 0.1 - 2.0 mm.

[0055] After degreasing, the sample parts are soaked in MOLYKOTE 7415 solvent for about 1 minute.

[0056] The degreased sample parts can be put into a hot air oven at 80°C for drying for 10 - 15 minutes. After ensuring that there is no water stain, no oil stain and no dust on the surface, the spraying operation in step S3 can be carried out.

[0057] Step S2: Mix the coating material, diluent, and other additives and perform pre-stirring until there is no sludge-like precipitate to obtain the coating paint. Then seal the coating paint in a container and continuously perform electric stirring.

[0058] The coating material is MOLYKOTE D7825 from Dow Corning Corporation. The diluent is MOLYKOTE 7415 from Dow Corning Corporation.

[0059] Before the spraying operation, mix the D7825 coating and the diluent and perform pre-stirring. First, stir for 3 - 5 minutes, and use a stainless steel rod to stir up the sludge-like precipitate until there is no sludge-like precipitate.

[0060] Then seal the coating paint in a container and place it on a roller bed (rocking bed) for electric stirring. Stir at 50 - 60 rpm for more than 4 hours. When in use, take out a part, and continue to seal and stir the remaining coating paint in the container until it is used up.

[0061] Step S3: Use a spray gun to maintain an appropriate spraying angle and spraying distance, and evenly spray the stirred coating paint onto the surface of the diaphragm valve parts at room temperature. Control the spraying thickness within 5 - 13 um, and place the sprayed diaphragm valve parts in an 80°C environment for drying to obtain a sample part.

[0062] The spraying angle is 45°, and the spraying distance is 24 - 26 cm.

[0063] Control the working environment temperature at room temperature and the relative humidity below 40%. After spraying, place the sample part in an oven at about 80°C for 15 minutes to volatilize the leveling solvent in the coating paint.

[0064] Step S4: Pre-cure the sample part in a 120°C environment for 15 minutes to ensure a smoother surface. Then cure the pre-cured sample part in a 220°C environment for 30 minutes to obtain the diaphragm valve parts.

[0065] Step S5: Use a film thickness gauge to randomly inspect the thickness of the sprayed and cured diaphragm valve parts and observe the surface coating condition.

[0066] As described above, it is only the specific implementation manner of this application, but the protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
