DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0029] In the semiconductor production process, toxic, flammable and explosive waste gas is generated. These waste gases are treated at high temperature to meet environmental protection requirements before being discharged. Special gas silane (SiH4) used in high-temperature deposition process decomposes to generate particulate matter at high temperature. Ammonia (NH3) releases hydrogen radicals at high temperature. Tungsten fluoride (WF6) is reduced by hydrogen at high temperature to generate hydrogen fluoride (HF); special gas phosphine (PH3) used in high-temperature etching and ion implantation decomposes at high temperature.

[0030] Based on the special gas used in semiconductors, it needs to be treated in a high-temperature environment, so the semiconductor waste gas equipment reaction cavity provides a high-temperature environment for treating semiconductor process waste gas.

[0031] The semiconductor process waste gas contains dust, solid particles and easily condensed gas, which can block the gas inlet of the waste gas treatment equipment. In related methods, a scraper is used in cooperation with a hot nitrogen gas device.

[0032] The semiconductor waste gas treatment equipment reaction cavity is in a high-temperature environment for a long time, which can easily cause the waste gas treatment equipment reaction cavity to deform and leak, causing safety accidents. The waste gas treatment equipment reaction cavity in the related method uses a water cooling method for cooling.

[0033] The reaction cavity of the related method uses a water cooling method, and the factory needs to separately provide a cooling system. The semiconductor waste gas treatment equipment cooling system mainly includes a cooling water system and a circulating water system, which can be specifically as follows Figure 1 The structure diagram of the cooling water system of the reaction cavity provided by the related method is shown. The cooling water system includes a hand valve, a one-way valve, a water inlet diaphragm valve, a plate heat exchanger, a drain diaphragm valve and a hand valve. The circulating water system includes a hand valve and a circulating water pump. The working principle of the outer wall cooling of the waste gas treatment equipment reaction cavity is that the circulating water pump cools the high-temperature water in the water tank through the plate exchanger, and sends the cold water to the outer wall of the reaction cavity. From the bottom of the reaction cavity, it is immersed and flows into the top of the reaction cavity, and then flows into the inner cavity of the reaction cavity. The water overflows along the top of the inner cavity of the reaction cavity to the water tank.

[0034] Because the semiconductor process waste gas contains strong acid, the circulating water circuit and components use materials with strong corrosion resistance, resulting in high cost of components.

[0035] This control mode can quickly reduce the temperature of the reaction cavity, but the control loop components are more, the control is complex, the production equipment cycle is longer, and the training time and education level of workers are higher, resulting in high labor cost.

[0036] The heat of the reaction cavity is directly taken away, and the resources are wasted.

[0037] In view of the defects in the related method, the present application provides a heat recovery control method of a semiconductor waste gas treatment equipment, which is applied to a waste gas treatment equipment, the waste gas treatment equipment comprising a reaction cavity, a gas cooling channel arranged on the inner side of the outer wall of the reaction cavity, and a heat preservation and insulation layer arranged on the outer side of the outer wall of the reaction cavity, the gas cooling channel being used to guide nitrogen gas to flow from the bottom of the reaction cavity to the top of the outer wall in sequence through the inner side surface of the outer wall, and the nitrogen gas after absorbing heat is blown to the gas inlet of the waste gas treatment equipment, Figure 2 is a flowchart of the heat recovery control method of the semiconductor waste gas treatment equipment provided by the present application, as Figure 2 shown, the method comprises the following steps: Step 210, obtaining a first temperature value of the heat preservation and insulation layer and a second temperature value of the waste gas inlet; Step 220, based on the comparison result of the first temperature value and the first temperature threshold value, controlling the nitrogen gas flow into the gas cooling channel, and determining that the temperature of the heat preservation and insulation layer after flow control is less than the first temperature threshold value; Step 230, based on the comparison result of the second temperature value and the second temperature threshold value, controlling the temperature of the heater in the gas cooling channel, and determining that the temperature of the nitrogen gas blowing to the waste gas inlet after temperature control is greater than the second temperature threshold value.

[0038] Next, taking the control system executing the heat recovery control method of the semiconductor waste gas treatment equipment provided by the present application as an example, the technical scheme of the present application will be described in detail.

[0039] Specifically, the structure diagram of the waste gas treatment equipment can be as Figure 3 shown in the structure diagram of the waste gas treatment equipment provided by the present application. The core components include one or more gas inlets, a reaction cavity, a combustion system and a water washing system. The equipment is used for treating strong acid, toxic and harmful gas generated in the semiconductor manufacturing process. The specific treatment process of the waste gas comprises: The waste gas 101 to be treated enters the device and can bypass directly under special working conditions. Under normal conditions, the waste gas enters the reaction chamber 107, mixes with the high-temperature nitrogen gas 103, the ignition fuel 104 and the combustion-supporting air from the dry air inlet 105, and reacts at high temperature. The high-temperature gas after the reaction enters the cooling unit, and is cooled in sequence by the cooling chamber 108 cooled by circulating water 109, the waterfall section 110 and the cooling chamber 111, so as to realize rapid cooling. The cooled gas enters the secondary washing tower, which is provided with secondary washing filler 112, and is sprayed and washed by the spray water supply 106 and the supplemented fresh water 113 to remove harmful substances in the gas. Finally, the output treated waste gas 114 after purification is discharged in compliance with the standard.

[0040] The reaction chamber structure of the waste gas treatment device can be as shown in Figure 4 The reaction chamber structure of the waste gas treatment device provided by the present application is shown in the figure. An insulation layer 116 is arranged outside the outer wall of the reaction chamber, and a gas cooling channel 115 is arranged inside the outer wall of the reaction chamber.

[0041] In the present application, the gas cooling channel is a channel structure surrounding or covering the outer wall of the reaction chamber, and its core function is to guide the cooling medium (specifically nitrogen) to fully exchange heat with the outer wall of the high-temperature reaction chamber. The channel is designed to guide the nitrogen to flow from the bottom of the reaction chamber to the inner surface of the outer wall in sequence, and finally to the top. This downward flow design can make the nitrogen flow more smoothly by utilizing the principle of hot air rising, and ensure that the nitrogen can fully and efficiently exchange heat with the entire outer wall of the reaction chamber. After heat exchange, the nitrogen (i.e. hot nitrogen) that has absorbed a large amount of heat is guided to the gas inlet of the waste gas treatment device for purging the gas inlet to clean the blockage caused by dust, solid particles or easily condensed gas in the waste gas.

[0042] It should be noted that in the semiconductor production process, toxic, flammable and explosive waste gas is generated. These waste gases are treated at high temperature to meet environmental protection requirements before being discharged.

[0043] The waste gas in the semiconductor production process contains dust, solid particles and easily condensed gas, which can block the gas inlet of the waste gas treatment device, so it is generally necessary to additionally heat the gas inlet of the waste gas treatment device. The related method generally uses a scraper in cooperation with a hot nitrogen device.

[0044] Based on the output of the heat absorbed in the reaction chamber to the gas inlet of the waste gas treatment device for purging the gas inlet, the blockage caused by dust, solid particles or easily condensed gas in the waste gas can be cleaned, and the gas inlet does not need to be additionally heated, thereby improving the energy utilization rate.

[0045] The heat insulation layer can be implemented based on a heat preservation bag and wrapped outside the gas cooling channel and the reaction cavity. The heat insulation layer has two functions: one is to reduce the heat loss of the reaction cavity to the external environment, so that more heat is transferred to the nitrogen in the gas cooling channel, thereby improving the heat recovery efficiency; the second is to effectively reduce the surface temperature of the outermost layer of the equipment, thereby avoiding burns to the operating or maintenance personnel and improving the overall safety of the equipment.

[0046] In step 210, a first temperature value of the heat insulation layer and a second temperature value of purging the waste gas inlet are obtained.

[0047] The first temperature value can be obtained by installing a first temperature sensor on the outer surface or a predetermined position inside the heat insulation layer. The second temperature value can be obtained by installing a second temperature sensor at the outlet of the gas cooling channel, close to the waste gas inlet.

[0048] In step 220, based on the comparison result of the first temperature value and the first temperature threshold, the nitrogen flow into the gas cooling channel is controlled, and the temperature of the heat insulation layer after the flow control is less than the first temperature threshold.

[0049] The purpose of step 220 is to perform safety control. The first temperature threshold is a preset safety upper limit value, and the setting basis is the safety standard for preventing burns to the operating personnel or performance degradation of the equipment material at high temperature. The control system compares the first temperature value obtained in real time with the threshold value. If the first temperature value is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, it indicates that the cooling of the reaction cavity is insufficient, and the heat accumulation is too much. At this time, the control system will issue an instruction to increase the nitrogen flow into the gas cooling channel through the electromagnetic valve, flow meter and other execution components in the gas cooling channel. The increased nitrogen flow will carry away more heat, thereby effectively reducing the temperature of the outer wall of the reaction cavity and the heat insulation layer, so as to maintain the temperature below the safety threshold. Conversely, if the first temperature value is lower than the first temperature threshold, the nitrogen flow can be maintained or appropriately reduced to save nitrogen consumption.

[0050] In step 230, based on the comparison result of the second temperature value and the second temperature threshold, the heater in the gas cooling channel is controlled to be heated, and the nitrogen temperature for purging the waste gas inlet after the heating control is greater than the second temperature threshold. The purpose of step 230 is to ensure the purging effect of the inlet of the waste gas treatment equipment.

[0051] The second temperature threshold is the minimum temperature required to ensure effective cleaning of the air inlet blockage, which can be set to 150°C for example. After the nitrogen absorption reaction cavity absorbs heat, the measured temperature value of the purging may still not reach the second temperature threshold, especially in the case of a newly started device or a small amount of waste gas processing, and the reaction cavity temperature is not high. At this time, the control system compares the second temperature value with the second temperature threshold. If the second temperature value is lower than the threshold, the control system will automatically start or increase the power of the heater arranged in the gas cooling channel to supplement the heating of the nitrogen until its temperature exceeds the second temperature threshold to ensure the effectiveness of the purging. If the second temperature value is already higher than the threshold, the heater does not need to work or remains closed, thereby achieving energy saving.

[0052] Optionally, the supplemental heating of the nitrogen can be implemented based on a hot nitrogen module, such as Figure 5 The nitrogen heating structure provided by the present application is shown in the schematic diagram. The hot nitrogen module specifically includes a power circuit breaker, a temperature controller, a solid-state relay, and a gas heater, which are used to heat the supplied nitrogen and control the temperature during the heating process.

[0053] Optionally, if the air inlet amount of the waste gas treatment device is uneven, large or small at different times, according to the pressure change of the air inlet of the waste gas treatment device, the temperature change of the reaction cavity outer wall temperature sensor and the nitrogen outlet loop temperature sensor, the waste gas treatment device can perform real-time adjustment of the gas heater power based on the adaptive learning function, thereby accurately controlling the temperature of the purging nitrogen at the air inlet. The waste gas treatment device is more intelligent, thereby reducing the work intensity of engineers The heat recovery control method of the semiconductor waste gas treatment device provided by the present application realizes closed-loop recovery and reuse of energy by arranging a gas cooling channel and a heat preservation and insulation layer on the outer wall of the reaction cavity, and using the waste heat of the nitrogen absorption reaction cavity to purge the air inlet. This significantly reduces the energy consumption of the device in operation. On the one hand, by monitoring the temperature of the heat preservation layer in real time and adjusting the nitrogen flow, the temperature of the device shell can be actively and accurately maintained within a safe threshold, effectively avoiding the risk of personnel scalding and device thermal deformation, and improving the safety of the device. On the other hand, by monitoring the temperature of the purging nitrogen and starting auxiliary heating as needed, it is ensured that the air inlet can be cleaned under any working condition, and the stable operation of the device is ensured. While achieving energy saving and safety, the cost and maintenance complexity of the device are also reduced.

[0054] In some embodiments, the control of the nitrogen flow into the gas cooling channel based on the comparison result of the first temperature value and the first temperature threshold comprises: in the case where it is determined that the first temperature value is greater than the first temperature threshold, determining an increment of the nitrogen flow in the gas cooling channel based on the difference between the initial temperature of the heat preservation and insulation layer and the first temperature threshold; and increasing the nitrogen flow in the gas cooling channel based on the increment.

[0055] The control system executes a preset algorithm to calculate the adjustment amount of the flow rate. When the first temperature value is detected to exceed the first temperature threshold, the control system performs proportional adjustment. The initial temperature is the temperature value before the current adjustment period starts, or a reference temperature in the stable state of the system.

[0056] It can be understood that the temperature of the heat insulation layer cannot be too high, which will cause danger to personnel, and the outer surface temperature of the heat insulation layer is limited to the first temperature threshold ; the nitrogen flow rate is controlled to regulate the temperature of the heat insulation layer, wherein: , ; , ; wherein, . is the initial temperature of the heat insulation layer. is a correlation coefficient, which can be determined according to experimental data or simulation results to achieve optimal control results.

[0057] Subsequently, based on the increment, the nitrogen flow rate in the gas cooling channel is increased. The control system applies the calculated increment to flow control, so that the actual nitrogen flow rate is increased by a corresponding value.

[0058] The proportional control method based on the difference to determine the flow increment can make the temperature adjustment more smooth and accurate. When the temperature difference is large, the flow rate is also increased, achieving rapid cooling; when the temperature difference is small, the flow rate is also increased, avoiding the temperature fluctuation and control overshoot.

[0059] In some embodiments, the temperature control of the heater in the gas cooling channel based on the comparison result of the second temperature value and the second temperature threshold includes: in the case where it is determined that the second temperature value is less than the second temperature threshold, starting the gas heater and adjusting the power of the heater to heat the nitrogen in the gas cooling channel.

[0060] In the case where it is determined that the second temperature value is less than the second temperature threshold, the gas heater is started and the power of the heater is adjusted to heat the nitrogen in the gas cooling channel.

[0061] When the control system determines that the nitrogen temperature for purging (i.e., the second temperature value) is lower than a second temperature threshold value, for example, 150℃, it sends a start signal to the power controller of the gas heater. The output power of the heater can be adjusted according to the difference between the second temperature value and the second temperature threshold value. The greater the difference, the more heat needs to be supplemented, and the greater the power output of the heater; otherwise, the smaller.

[0062] In some embodiments, the power adjusted by the heater is: ; wherein, is the power adjusted by the heater, is the nitrogen density, is the nitrogen flow rate, is the specific heat capacity of nitrogen, is a correlation coefficient, is the second temperature value.

[0063] It should be noted that, is a correlation coefficient, which can be determined according to experimental data or simulation results to achieve optimal control results.

[0064] This formula accurately calculates the heat power required to heat the nitrogen with the current flow rate and the temperature to the target temperature 150℃ based on the basic principles of thermodynamics. By using this formula for control, precise and efficient adjustment of the purging nitrogen temperature can be achieved, and energy waste can be avoided.

[0065] In some embodiments, the nitrogen flow rate is: ; wherein, is the deviation value of the second temperature value collected at the collection time from the second temperature threshold value, is a proportional gain coefficient of the deviation value, used to amplify the role of the current deviation value The greater the deviation value, the greater the adjustment range. is a differential gain coefficient of the second temperature value change speed, used to predict the future error trend (through the error change rate), provide damping effect to suppress oscillation, can reduce overshoot and improve stability, but is sensitive to noise. If the temperature is rising rapidly (T > 0), even if the current error is small, the nitrogen flow rate will be increased in advance to suppress the temperature rise rate and avoid overshoot.

[0066] It should be noted that due to the pipe heat storage effect, the actual second temperature value changes lag behind the flow adjustment, so the control term is added in the formula of the nitrogen flow. Specifically, PD (proportional-derivative) control is introduced. By introducing the derivative term, the control algorithm can predictively adjust, making the temperature control of the outer wall of the reaction chamber more rapid, stable and accurate, greatly improving the dynamic response performance and robustness of the system.

[0067] ; wherein, is the second temperature value, is the second temperature threshold. , e(t) ≥0, represents that the temperature is too high; , e(t) 0, represents that the temperature is too low.

[0068] The specific control logic can be as shown in the control logic flow diagram provided by the application. Figure 6 The application provides a control logic flow diagram. The first temperature value is monitored in real time , and it is determined whether the first temperature value is less than or equal to the first temperature threshold. If yes, the nitrogen flow is not adjusted. If no, the nitrogen flow is increased.

[0069] Further, the second temperature value is monitored in real time , and it is determined whether the second temperature value is less than the second temperature threshold. If yes, it represents that the temperature is high, and the heater power does not need to be adjusted. If no, it represents that the temperature is too low, and the heater power is adjusted.

[0070] In some embodiments, the gas cooling channel is a multi-layer closed pipe type, and a plurality of mesh plates are embedded in the pipe of the gas cooling channel.

[0071] In order to further improve the heat exchange efficiency and the uniformity of cooling, the physical structure of the gas cooling channel can be specially designed.

[0072] The gas cooling channel can be specifically as shown in the gas cooling channel structure diagram provided by the application. The multi-layer closed pipe type structure means that the cooling pipe is wound on the outer wall of the reaction chamber for multiple times and in a zigzag manner, forming a relatively long flow path. This design significantly increases the residence time of nitrogen in the channel and the contact area with the outer wall of the reaction chamber, so as to ensure that the nitrogen can absorb as much heat as possible, maximizing the heat recovery efficiency. Figure 7 The application provides a gas cooling channel structure diagram. The multi-layer closed pipe type structure means that the cooling pipe is wound on the outer wall of the reaction chamber for multiple times and in a zigzag manner, forming a relatively long flow path. This design significantly increases the residence time of nitrogen in the channel and the contact area with the outer wall of the reaction chamber, so as to ensure that the nitrogen can absorb as much heat as possible, maximizing the heat recovery efficiency.

[0073] ​​​​The mesh plate is a porous plate arranged inside the pipeline, and the specific structure is as shown in Figure 8 The mesh plate provided by the present application is shown in the structural schematic diagram. Its function is to disturb the nitrogen gas flowing through the pipeline and uniformly distribute it to the entire cross section of the pipeline. This can break the boundary layer attached to the pipe wall, strengthen the convective heat transfer, and ensure that each part of the outer wall of the reaction chamber is uniformly cooled, effectively avoiding local hot spots caused by uneven cooling, further improving the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0074] With this optimized channel structure, the heat transfer process can be strengthened from the physical layer, the performance of the entire heat recovery control system is improved, and ultimately more efficient energy saving and safety effects are achieved.
