Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing technology, and in particular to a permanent magnet water pump system and control method for temperature control equipment in wafer manufacturing. Background Technology
[0002] Referring to patents CN116266062B, CN115129092B, and CN117213291A, during wafer manufacturing, it is necessary to ensure the efficient and stable transfer of heat or cold in the temperature control or refrigeration system. As a core component driving the flow of circulating fluid, the efficient and precise control of the water pump is particularly important. For example, in the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOSFET) process, during the gate oxide layer growth process, temperature fluctuations need to be controlled within ±1℃, which places even higher demands on the control precision of the water pump.
[0003] Traditional water pump systems connect the motor and load via a mechanical shaft, often using an AC asynchronous motor. In traditional systems, even though the mechanical shaft may conduct heat, the inherent parameters of the electrically excited AC asynchronous motor do not change significantly with temperature variations. However, AC asynchronous motors suffer from limited speed range and low-speed load differentials, failing to meet the higher precision and efficiency requirements of wafer manufacturing temperature control equipment. Furthermore, permanent magnet synchronous motors, with their built-in permanent magnets eliminating the need for induction excitation, avoid the rotor excitation losses of AC asynchronous motors. They also offer superior efficiency and higher power density across the entire load range, making them a more energy-efficient alternative.
[0004] To address the above problems, this invention provides a permanent magnet water pump system and control method for temperature control equipment in wafer manufacturing. The system uses a permanent magnet synchronous motor as the main body of the pump and a magnetic shaft to connect the motor to the load. Using a permanent magnet synchronous motor allows for a wider speed range; using a magnetic shaft isolates temperature transmission, avoiding changes in the motor's parameters when controlled without position sensors. However, permanent magnet synchronous motors require accurate rotor angles when driven by vector control; and when using a magnetic shaft connection, there is a magnetic coupling angle deviation between the active and passive half-shafts. The main challenge in replacing an AC asynchronous motor with a rigid shaft with a permanent magnet synchronous motor and magnetic shaft is to balance this magnetic coupling angle deviation and achieve a rotor angle estimation that better matches the system. Summary of the Invention

It is suitable for high-cleanliness, high-precision temperature control scenarios in wafer manufacturing. Slippage refers to the passive half-shaft rotating faster than the drive shaft due to a sudden decrease in load, or the coupling angle becoming too advanced. Seizure refers to the passive half-shaft failing to rotate due to mechanical failure. Idling refers to the passive half-shaft being underloaded, causing the corresponding water pump pipeline to close and preventing water flow.
[0046] 5. Self-tuning of nonlinear parameters, strong adaptability. Through static testing and least squares fitting, the nonlinear stiffness coefficients (K1, K2) of the magnetic coupling are automatically extracted, enabling accurate modeling and rapid adaptation of different coupling models, enhancing the system's versatility and scalability.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, in a control method for a permanent magnet water pump system used in wafer manufacturing temperature control equipment, when the back electromotive force observation method is adopted, the rotor angle estimation method is as follows:

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, in a control method for a permanent magnet water pump system used in wafer manufacturing temperature control equipment, the specific implementation method uses a nonlinear flux observer, and the rotor angle estimation method is as follows:
[0065] The specific difference lies in the magnetic flux error. The total error in the electrical angle error calculation is calculated by taking the total error ε. total =ε flux +K coupl sin(ε coupl ).
[0066] The nonlinear elastic angle-torque relationship is T = K1Δθ + K2Δθ 3K1 and K2 are obtained through static testing. The entire process of obtaining K1 and K2 involves treating the magnetic coupling as a torsion spring of unknown stiffness, measuring a discrete "torque-torsion angle" curve under static, slow, and inertia-free conditions, and then uniquely solving for K1 and K2 using least squares (or linear regression). Specifically:
[0067] Test platform setup: 1. Motor end: Servo driver + permanent magnet synchronous motor (with 23-bit absolute encoder, resolution 0.005°). 2. Load end: Hysteresis dynamometer (or magnetic powder brake) + second 23-bit encoder (high-precision circular grating can also be used). 3. Intermediate: Magnetic coupling under test (active half connected to the motor shaft, passive half connected to the dynamometer shaft). 4. Data acquisition: Torque flange (accuracy 0.1%) + two encoder angles, sampling frequency 1kHz.
[0068] Experimental steps:
[0069] Step B1: Zeroing. Set the dynamometer to "position lock" mode, with the angle locked at 0°. Slowly rotate the current loop at the motor end until the torque flange reading is just greater than 0, and record the motor encoder angle θ0 at this point. Define Δθ = θ motor -θ load -θ0.
[0070] Step B2: Sampling at equal intervals. The dynamometer remains locked at 0°. The motor end rotates forward at an extremely low speed of 0.1° / s, pausing for 0.5 seconds after every 0.2° rotation, and the steady-state torque T is recorded. i With corresponding Δθ i Continue tightening until T reaches the tripping torque T specified by the manufacturer. max 85% (leaving a 15% safety margin) yields n≈50 sets of discrete points (Δθ) i ,T i ).
[0071] Step B3: Repeat the test in reverse. Rotate in the opposite direction using the same method and take another 50 points to check the hysteresis symmetry; if the difference between the forward and reverse directions is less than 2%, they can be used together; otherwise, the "average curve" can be used subsequently.
[0072] Step B4: Data Preprocessing. Eliminate the starting friction dead zone: Δθ < 0.05° and T < 0.02T. max The points are discarded (nonlinear friction region, not used to fit elasticity). The remaining m groups (Δθ) i ,T i (Then proceed to the next step of the regression.)
[0073] Step B5: Solve for K1 and K2 using least squares, adopting the model: T = K1·Δθ + K2·Δθ3, written in matrix form:
[0074]
[0075] Using the normal equation: x=(A T A) -1 A T b. Solve using MATLAB to obtain K1 and K2. K1 has dimensions [N·m / rad], and K2 has dimensions [N·m / rad]. 3 ].
[0076] For example, a certain -20 pole magnetic coupling, measured values: K1 = 42.7 N·m / rad, K2 = -195.2 N·m / rad 3 Tripping angle Δθ max ≈0.153rad≈8.8°.
[0077] Protection and control:
[0078] The tripping angle of the magnetic coupling is Δθ max When the magnetic coupling deviation angle is greater than 85% Δθ max At this time, the permanent magnet synchronous motor is decelerated until the magnetic coupling deviation angle Δθ is less than 80%; among them, 85% is taken to leave a safety margin, and 80% is taken to retain hysteresis.
[0079] When the magnetic coupling deviation angle is approximately 0, the electromagnetic torque T of the permanent magnet synchronous motor em If the motor does not reach zero speed, it will detect slippage and immediately stop.
[0080] In the experimental case, Δθ max =8.8°, the rated torque of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is denoted as TN.
[0081] Experimental Case 1 (Seizure Condition)
[0082] Step a1: The impeller is manually jammed, and controller 5 samples T. em It rises to 1.8 times TN within 1 ms, with an estimated Δθ of 8.3° (≈0.95Δθ). max , );
[0083] Step b1: Protection logic 55 immediately limits the speed of permanent magnet synchronous motor 1 to 20% of its rated speed and reports a fault;
[0084] Step c1: If the fault is not resolved after 1 second, controller 5 stops driving permanent magnet synchronous motor 1.
[0085] Experimental Case 2 (Outlet valve closed - idling)
[0086] Step a2: Valve closed, flow rate approaches 0, T em The value of Δθ decreased from 0.8 times TN to 0.1 times TN, and the estimated value of Δθ decreased from 5° to 0.3°.
[0087] Step b2: The protection logic determines "idling" and automatically reduces the speed to 20% standby. Normal operation resumes after the valve reopens, with no overcurrent throughout the process.
[0088] As described above, this invention offers high-precision speed-range control and greater energy efficiency. By replacing the traditional AC asynchronous motor with a permanent magnet synchronous motor, the speed range is significantly broadened, and low-speed load capacity is improved, meeting the stringent requirements of wafer manufacturing for high precision and high response in temperature control systems. Especially in variable load scenarios for water pumps, the permanent magnet synchronous motor and frequency converter system achieves energy savings of over 25% compared to traditional AC asynchronous motors. This invention provides temperature isolation and parameter stability. A magnetic coupling enables contactless torque transmission between the motor and pump body, effectively isolating heat conduction and preventing parameter changes in the permanent magnet motor due to temperature drift, ensuring the stability of sensorless control. This invention also features sensorless angle estimation, improving reliability. An innovative magnetic coupling angle deviation model is introduced, combined with current sampling and nonlinear elastic angle-torque relationships, to achieve high-precision rotor angle estimation without position sensors, reducing system complexity and cost, and improving long-term operational reliability. Finally, this invention incorporates an intelligent protection mechanism to prevent failure. Based on real-time monitoring of magnetic coupling angle and electromagnetic torque, this invention features multiple protection strategies, including slippage detection, lock-up protection, and idling speed reduction, to prevent equipment damage or process interruption, improving system safety and maintenance convenience. It is suitable for high-cleanliness, high-precision temperature control scenarios in wafer manufacturing.
