Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vacuum breaking equipment, in particular to a vacuum breaking device for vacuum reaction equipment. Background Art
[0002] Vacuum reaction equipment is widely used in many fields, such as semiconductor chip processing, optical coating, etc. Taking semiconductor chip processing as an example, many chip manufacturing process flows need to be completed in a low-pressure (vacuum) reaction chamber, such as ion implantation, LPCVD (low-pressure chemical vapor deposition), evaporation and sputtering processes. Ion implantation is to inject doped ions into the wafer in a vacuum system, and use a high-resolution mass analyzer to ensure that the doped ions have extremely high purity. After the ion implantation process is completed, it is necessary to blow gas into the vacuum reaction equipment through the air inlet so that the internal and external air pressures can be consistent before the wafer can be taken out. This is the process of breaking the vacuum. In this process, the faster the air intake speed is, the better, which can improve the chip manufacturing efficiency. But in fact, the air intake speed cannot be too fast, because the long-term use of the vacuum reaction equipment causes more impurities to adhere to its inner wall. If the air intake speed is too fast, the impurities in the vacuum reaction equipment will be blown onto the wafer, causing the wafer to be contaminated. Therefore, it usually takes several hours to break the vacuum, which restricts the efficiency of chip processing and increases the processing cost.
[0003] When the existing vacuum breaking device is in use, the inner hole diameter of the gas distribution pipe is fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the demand for gas distribution, so that the air intake speed cannot be accurately adjusted, affecting the vacuum breaking effect. At the same time, when the existing vacuum breaking device is in use, the kinetic energy of the incoming gas cannot be effectively offset, making it easy for the gas with greater kinetic energy to blow impurities attached to the inner wall onto the wafer, causing the wafer to be contaminated. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a vacuum breaking device for vacuum reaction equipment. By setting an inflatable rubber ring, an inflating pipe and an air distribution pipe, gas can be filled into the inflatable rubber ring through the inflating pipe and the air distribution pipe, and then the expansion degree of the inflatable rubber ring is adjusted, so that the diameter of the air inlet inner hole of the air distribution pipe is adjusted, thereby ensuring the vacuum breaking effect, and can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] A vacuum breaking device for vacuum reaction equipment comprises an air intake box, an air intake pipe is arranged on one side of the air intake box, an air distribution pipe is arranged on the other side of the air intake box away from the air intake pipe, an inflatable rubber ring is arranged on the inner side of the connection position between the air distribution pipe and the air intake box, an air distribution ring communicating with the inside of the air distribution pipe is arranged on the outer ring side of the air distribution pipe, air distribution holes are arranged on the side of the air distribution ring, an air distribution pipe is connected to the inflatable rubber ring, the air distribution pipe is connected to the inner side of the air intake box by a pipe clamp, and an inflatable pipe is arranged on the lower side of the air distribution pipe.

The two second air distribution rings are symmetrically arranged, and air distribution holes are opened on the opposite sides. The first air distribution ring has air distribution holes symmetrically arranged front and back.
[0008] Furthermore, the air distribution pipe has three sections: front, middle and rear. A second air distribution ring is welded between the front and middle sections, a first air distribution ring is welded between the middle and rear sections, and a second air distribution ring is welded at the rear end of the rear section.
[0009] Furthermore, the air distribution holes on adjacent air distribution rings correspond to each other.

[0012] The utility model provides an air distribution pipe, an air distribution ring and air distribution holes, so that the gas entering the vacuum environment is blown out from the air distribution holes. The air distribution holes on adjacent air distribution rings cause the kinetic energy of the gas to collide with each other and offset each other, thereby reducing the kinetic energy of the gas and preventing gas with greater kinetic energy from blowing off impurities and contaminating the wafer.
