[0002] At present, in the process of manufacturing LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and OLED (Organic Light Emitting Display), gas phase deposition is usually used to prepare products. In the process of gas phase deposition, a gas distribution device is usually used to distribute raw material gas. For example, CN120026307A discloses a gas phase deposition equipment, which relates to the technical field of semiconductor preparation. The gas phase deposition equipment comprises a first gas inlet, a gas distribution structure, a gas inlet structure and a supporting table. The gas distribution structure comprises a bottom wall and a side wall. A plurality of gas passing holes are arranged on the bottom wall. A first heating part is arranged around the bottom wall in the side wall. The gas inlet structure is arranged in the space enclosed by the bottom wall and the side wall. A gas channel is arranged in the gas inlet structure, which is connected to the first gas inlet and each gas passing hole. A second heating part is arranged around the gas channel in the gas inlet structure.

[0003] Because the gas distribution device is provided with grooves and through holes of different levels of aperture, after being used for a period of time, a large amount of black and gray deposits will be generated on the surface, grooves and inner walls of the through holes of the gas distribution device, which will block or reduce the through holes of the grooves. Some of the deposits will also erode the substrate of the gas distribution device, which will eventually affect the operation and processing effect of the gas phase deposition equipment.

[0163] The relevant parameters of the through holes in the aluminum gas distribution disc before and after cleaning in the above embodiments and comparative examples are compared in Table 1 below. The foreign matter removal rate refers to the reduction ratio of the number of residual foreign matter on the surface or in the pores, reflecting the cleanliness of the product or the effectiveness of the treatment process. The calculation formula is: Foreign matter removal rate = (Foreign matter content before treatment - Foreign matter content after treatment) / Foreign matter content before treatment. The foreign matter content can be selected as mg / L or particles / cm³. 2 Or ppm; Substrate pore size change refers to the phenomenon that the size (pore diameter) of the original fine pores on the substrate surface changes due to the regeneration process of removing surface deposits, such as acid or alkali cleaning, sandblasting, and grinding. The pore size change reflects the cleaning effect during the regeneration process and is an important parameter for evaluating the cleanliness of the regenerated product. The calculation formula is: Substrate pore size change = Substrate pore size after cleaning - Substrate pore size before cleaning. The values ​​in Table 1 are the values ​​with the largest changes.

[0164] Table 1

[0165]

[0166] As shown in Table 1, the solution provided by the present invention, through the design of the cleaning agent components, can achieve a good cleaning effect on the aluminum gas distribution plate. While effectively removing the deposits in the pores of the aluminum gas distribution plate, it basically does not affect the use of the aluminum gas distribution plate and will not cause the defects of enlarged pores in the through holes of the aluminum gas distribution plate.

[0167] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0168] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present invention will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0169] Furthermore, various different embodiments of the present invention can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of the present invention, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed by the present invention.
