Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wafer manufacturing, in particular to an auxiliary fixture for installing a cavity of a thin film deposition device. Background Art

[0002] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the thin film deposition equipment includes a chamber 1 (tube) for growing a film on a wafer, and the chamber 1 needs to be replaced during equipment maintenance. The chamber 1 is usually made of quartz and has a large volume. The height of the chamber 1 is about 2 meters and the diameter is about 1 meter. When installing the chamber 1, two or three people are required to place the chamber 1 on the fixture 2, and then slowly adjust the position of the chamber 1. When the chamber 1 and the fixture 2 are roughly coaxial, that is, when the axis of the chamber 1 and the axis of the fixture 2 are roughly coincident, use a vernier caliper or a feeler gauge to measure whether the gaps between the outer wall of the chamber 1 and the inner wall of the fixture 2 are all about 1 cm. If so, it means that the chamber 1 and the fixture 2 are coaxial. At this time, the chamber 1 can be lifted and installed in the thin film deposition equipment. If the chamber 1 and the fixture 2 are not coaxial, the chamber 1 cannot be docked with the gas nozzle of the equipment after being lifted, and the chamber 1 needs to be lowered and the position of the chamber 1 relative to the fixture 2 is readjusted.

[0003] However, currently when adjusting the position of cavity 1 relative to fixture 2, the operator visually inspects that cavity 1 and fixture 2 are roughly coaxial, and then uses a vernier caliper or feeler gauge to measure whether multiple gaps between the outer wall of cavity 1 and the inner wall of fixture 2 are all about 1 cm. This requires repeated adjustments of the position of cavity 1 relative to fixture 2 and multiple measurements of the gap size before cavity 1 can be adjusted into place, resulting in low installation efficiency of cavity 1.

[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides an auxiliary fixture 10 for installing a cavity 1 of a thin film deposition device, comprising a first correction ring 11, a second correction ring 12, a first connecting piece 13, a second connecting piece 14, a third connecting piece 15 and a fourth connecting piece 16; the first correction ring 11 and the second correction ring 12 both include a semicircular fixing structure, and the two fixing structures enclose a cylindrical cavity; one end of the first correction ring 11 and one end of the second correction ring 12 are connected through the first connecting piece 13; the other end of the first correction ring 11 and the other end of the second correction ring 12 are connected through the second connecting piece 14; the first connecting piece 13 and / or the second connecting piece 14 are detachable connecting pieces; one end of the third connecting piece 15 is connected to the first correction ring 11, and the other end is provided with a buckle; one end of the fourth connecting piece 16 is connected to the second correction ring 12, and the other end is provided with a buckle.

[0034] like Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the method of using the auxiliary fixture 10 is as follows: place the cavity 1 of the thin film deposition equipment on the existing fixture 2; clamp the first correction ring 11 and the second correction ring 12 on the cylindrical outer wall of the cavity 1, and connect the first correction ring 11 and the second correction ring 12 through the first connector 13 and the second connector 14; clamp the buckle of the third connector 15 and the fourth connector 16 on the existing fixture 2. Since the axes of the auxiliary fixture 10, the existing fixture 2 and the cavity 1 coincide, it means that the cavity 1 is adjusted in place, and the cavity 1 can be lifted to install the cavity 1 in the thin film deposition equipment.

[0035] The present embodiment provides an auxiliary fixture 10 for installing a cavity 1 of a thin film deposition device, wherein a first correction ring 11 and a second correction ring 12 are connected via a first connecting member 13 and a second connecting member 14, and the connected first correction ring 11 and the second correction ring 12 are fixed to an existing fixture 2 via a third connecting member 15 and a fourth connecting member 16. In the process of the third connecting member 15 and the fourth connecting member 16 snapping into the existing fixture 2, the first correction ring 11 and the second correction ring 12 of the cavity 1 are moved to the center position of the existing fixture after being connected, so that the axes of the auxiliary fixture 10, the existing fixture 2 and the cavity 1 coincide with each other. At this time, it indicates that the cavity 1 is adjusted into place, and the cavity 1 can be lifted to be installed in the thin film deposition device. The unexpected effect of the auxiliary fixture 10 is that it is no longer necessary to repeatedly adjust the position of the cavity 1 relative to the fixture and measure the gap size multiple times before the cavity 1 can be adjusted in place. The use of the auxiliary fixture 10 can significantly improve the installation efficiency of the cavity 1, save time and manpower, ensure the smooth docking of the air intake pipe and the cavity 1, and improve the equipment maintenance efficiency and the normal operation time of the equipment. It avoids the economic loss caused by the collision between the cavity 1 and the inner wall of the machine due to the displacement of the position of the cavity 1 during the repeated lifting and lowering process.

[0036] Optional, such as Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, a rotating rod is provided at one end of the third connecting member 15; a notch is provided on the first correction ring 11, and fixing holes are provided at both ends of the notch, and both ends of the rotating rod are rotatably provided in the corresponding fixing holes. The rotating rod can rotate relative to the fixing hole, so that the buckle can be easily inserted into the existing jig 2 or removed from the existing jig 2. In other embodiments, the third connecting member 15 can be made of a material with a certain elasticity, so that the buckle can be inserted into the existing jig 2 or removed from the existing jig 2.

[0037] Optional, such as Figure 6 As shown, the fourth connecting member 16 has the same structure as the third connecting member 15 , and the second correcting ring 12 has the same structure as the first correcting ring 11 , which facilitates the design and manufacture of the auxiliary fixture 10 .

[0038] Optional, such as Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, one end of the third connecting member 15 is connected to the middle position of the first correcting ring 11, and one end of the fourth connecting member 16 is connected to the middle position of the second correcting ring 12. This can improve the stability of the first correcting ring 11 and the second correcting ring 12 and prevent the first correcting ring 11 and the second correcting ring 12 from tilting relative to the existing fixture 2.

[0039] Optional, such as Figure 4-Figure 6As shown, the diameter of the cylindrical cavity is equal to the outer diameter of the cavity 1 to be installed, so that the inner wall of the fixing structure of the first correction ring 11 and the second correction ring 12 can fit with the outer wall of the cavity 1, so that the cylindrical cavity is coaxial with the cavity 1. In other embodiments, the diameter of the cylindrical cavity can be slightly smaller or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cavity 1 to be installed.

[0040] Optional, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first connecting member 13 and the second connecting member 14 are both detachable connecting members, and the first connecting member 13 and the second connecting member 14 are both bolts and nuts. The first correction ring 11 and the second correction ring 12 can be easily connected and disassembled by bolts and nuts.

[0041] Optional, reference Figure 6 As shown, the first connecting member 13 and the second connecting member 14 are both detachable connecting members, and the first connecting member 13 and the second connecting member 14 are both spring buckles. The spring buckles can be used to easily connect and disassemble the first correction ring 11 and the second correction ring 12.

In the process of the third connecting member 15 and the fourth connecting member 16 being snapped into the existing fixture 2, the first correction ring 11 and the second correction ring 12 of the cavity 1 are moved to the center position of the existing fixture after being connected, so that the axes of the auxiliary fixture 10, the existing fixture 2 and the cavity 1 coincide with each other. At this time, it indicates that the cavity 1 is adjusted into place, and the cavity 1 can be lifted to install the cavity 1 in the thin film deposition device. The unexpected effect of the auxiliary fixture 10 is that it is no longer necessary to repeatedly adjust the position of the cavity 1 relative to the fixture and measure the gap size multiple times before the cavity 1 can be adjusted in place. The use of the auxiliary fixture 10 can significantly improve the installation efficiency of the cavity 1, save time and manpower, ensure the smooth docking of the air intake pipe and the cavity 1, and improve the equipment maintenance efficiency and the normal operation time of the equipment. It avoids the economic loss caused by the collision between the cavity 1 and the inner wall of the machine due to the displacement of the cavity 1 during the repeated lifting process.
