For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0037] The embodiment of the present application provides a furnace tube, which can be used in LPCVD equipment, and the LPCVD equipment can specifically be a vertical LPCVD equipment or a horizontal LPCVD equipment. The embodiment of the present application only takes the vertical LPCVD equipment as an example for explanation, and the horizontal LPCVD equipment can be implemented by reference. In a specific application, the vertical furnace tube can make full use of the internal space of the furnace tube to arrange multiple quartz boats to increase production capacity. For example, the furnace tube can be used to arrange 4 or more quartz boats, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the number of quartz boats that can be arranged in the furnace tube.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , shows a schematic structural diagram of a furnace tube according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the furnace tube may specifically include: a furnace body 10, wherein a storage space for accommodating the quartz boat 200 is provided in the furnace body 10, wherein the storage space may include a first end and a second end which are arranged in a manner opposite to each other; a heating mechanism 11, wherein the heating mechanism 11 is sleeved outside the furnace body 10 to heat the furnace body 10 and provide a temperature field environment for the storage space; and an air inlet pipe 12 which is spirally arranged in the storage space, wherein the air inlet pipe 12 may be used to be wound around the outside of the quartz boat 200; wherein the air inlet pipe 12 may include an air inlet and an air outlet which are arranged in a manner opposite to each other. The air inlet is arranged near the first end of the storage space and at least partially extends out of the furnace body 10, the air inlet can be used to introduce reaction gas, the air inlet pipe 12 can be used to preheat the introduced reaction gas, the air outlet is arranged near the second end of the storage space, the air outlet can be used to discharge the reaction gas preheated by the air inlet pipe 12 to the second end of the storage space, so that the reaction gas moves downward from the second end of the storage space to coat the silicon-based material on the quartz boat 200.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, a spirally arranged air inlet pipe 12 may be provided in the accommodation space of the furnace tube, and the air inlet of the air inlet pipe 12 is provided near the first end of the accommodation space and at least partially extends out of the furnace body 10 to allow the reaction gas to pass through. The air outlet of the air inlet pipe 12 is provided near the second end of the accommodation space to discharge the gas to the second end of the accommodation space. Since the air inlet pipe 12 is spirally distributed in the accommodation space, the reaction gas can be fully preheated in the process of flowing from the air inlet of the air inlet pipe 12 to the air outlet. The temperature difference between the temperature of the reaction gas after preheating and the temperature of the accommodation space itself is small. In this way, the uniformity of the temperature field of the accommodation space during the discharge of the reaction gas can be improved. Thus, the coating quality of the furnace tube when coating the silicon-based material can be improved.

[0040] Optionally, the furnace tube may be a vertical furnace tube, that is, the furnace body 10 may be placed vertically. When the furnace body 10 is placed vertically, the first end of the accommodation space may be the bottom end, and the second end may be the top end. Similarly, the furnace tube may also be a horizontal furnace tube, that is, the furnace body 10 may be placed horizontally. When the furnace body 10 is placed horizontally, the first end and the second end of the accommodation space may be two ends disposed in a horizontal direction away from each other.

[0041] It should be noted that the drawings described in the embodiments of the present application only show the case where the furnace tube is a vertical furnace tube and the furnace body 10 is placed vertically. The case where the furnace tube is a horizontal furnace tube can be implemented by reference.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the furnace body 10 may specifically include a furnace shell 101 and a cover plate 102, the cover plate 102 is connected to the furnace shell 101, and the cover plate 102 and the furnace shell 101 are enclosed to form the accommodation space. In practical applications, a flange 103 may also be welded on one side of the furnace shell 101 close to the cover plate 102, and the flange 103 may be connected to the cover plate 102 by bolts, O-rings and other components to form a sealed accommodation space, so as to facilitate the coating reaction in the accommodation space. A water-cooling jacket may be built into the flange 103 to achieve cooling of the flange 103 and avoid safety hazards caused by high temperature of the flange 103. The cover plate 102 may be connected to the frame 300 to achieve fixed connection of the furnace body 10 on the frame 300. The heating mechanism 11 may be sleeved outside the furnace body 10 to heat the furnace body 10 to provide the accommodation space with a temperature field environment suitable for coating. Specifically, the heating mechanism 11 may be a resistance wire, etc., and the specific type of the heating mechanism 11 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0043] In a specific application, after the reaction gas is introduced into the air inlet of the air inlet pipe 12, the reaction gas can move along the spiral air inlet pipe 12 to the air outlet. Since the spiral air inlet pipe 12 bypasses a long distance in the furnace body 10, the reaction gas can be fully preheated in the process of the reaction gas flowing through the air inlet pipe 12. When the reaction gas is discharged from the air outlet of the air inlet pipe 12, the temperature of the reaction gas is very close to the temperature of the furnace body 10 itself, and the effect of the discharge of the reaction gas on the temperature field environment in the furnace body 10 can even be ignored. In this way, the uniformity of the temperature field of the accommodating space in the furnace body 10 can be greatly improved, and the coating quality of the silicon-based material when the furnace tube is coated can be improved.

[0044] For example, the reaction gas may include but is not limited to silane, oxygen, nitrogen, etc. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0045] In a specific application, the furnace tube may further include an exhaust port 19, which may be connected to the accommodation space. An exhaust device may be connected to the exhaust port 19, through which the gas in the accommodation space may be extracted to the outside of the furnace body 10, providing a certain degree of vacuum in the accommodation space.

[0046] Optionally, there may be multiple exhaust ports 19 , which may be evenly spaced along the circumference of the furnace body 10 . By extracting gas from the accommodation space through the multiple exhaust ports 19 , it is easier to achieve a vacuum degree in the accommodation space.

[0047] For example, the number of the exhaust ports 19 may include but is not limited to 3, 4 or 6, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the number of the exhaust ports 19.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the furnace tube also includes: a flow equalizing plate 13 arranged in the accommodating space, the flow equalizing plate 13 is arranged close to the second end of the furnace body 10 and has a gap with the second end of the furnace body 10, and the flow equalizing plate 13 and the furnace body 10 are enclosed to form a buffer chamber S; wherein, the gas outlet of the air inlet pipe 12 at least partially passes through the flow equalizing plate 13 and extends into the buffer chamber S, and the gas outlet can be used to discharge the reaction gas preheated by the air inlet pipe 12 into the buffer chamber S to buffer the reaction gas. The flow equalizing plate 13 can be used to homogenize the reaction gas and guide the reaction gas into the quartz boat 200, so that the reaction gas can evenly and slowly fall on the quartz boat 200 below the flow equalizing plate 13, and the silicon-based material on the quartz boat 200 is evenly coated, thereby improving the coating quality of the silicon-based material.

[0049] Optionally, a plurality of evenly distributed through holes are provided on the flow equalizing plate 13, and the plurality of through holes can be used to homogenize the reaction gas and guide the reaction gas to the quartz boat 200, thereby improving the uniformity of the gas falling onto the quartz boat 200, and further improving the coating quality of the silicon-based material on the quartz boat 200.

[0050] It should be noted that, in practical applications, the size and shape of the through hole can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the shape of the through hole can be circular, rectangular or other polygonal. In the case where the shape of the through hole is circular, the diameter of the through hole can be 5 mm, 8 mm or 12 mm, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the shape and size of the through hole.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, a suspension column 131 is also provided on the flow balancing plate 13 , one end of the suspension column 131 is connected to the flow balancing plate 13 , and the other end is connected to the furnace shell 101 , so as to fix the flow balancing plate 13 to the furnace shell 101 .

[0052] Optionally, the furnace tube may further include: a boat seat 14, which is arranged in the accommodating space, and the boat seat 14 can be used to carry the quartz boat 200; wherein the boat seat 14 is rotatably connected to the furnace body 10 to drive the quartz boat 200 to rotate in the accommodating space, thereby further improving the coating uniformity of the silicon-based material on the quartz boat 200.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the furnace tube may further include a fixing rod 20 , which may be connected to the boat seat 14 and located on the side of the quartz boat 200 . The fixing rod 20 may be used to fix the quartz boat 200 , thereby improving the connection reliability of the quartz boat 200 on the boat seat 14 .

[0054] Optionally, the furnace tube may further include: a driving mechanism 15 and a supporting mechanism 16, the supporting mechanism 16 at least partially passing through the cover plate 102 and connected to the boat seat 14, the driving mechanism 15 is arranged outside the furnace body 10 and connected to the supporting mechanism 16, the driving mechanism 15 can be used to drive the supporting mechanism 16 to rotate relative to the cover plate 102, so as to drive the boat seat 14 and the quartz boat 200 on the boat seat 14 to rotate together, thereby improving the coating uniformity of the silicon-based material on the quartz boat 200.

[0055] Optionally, the support mechanism 16 may include: a support bearing 161, a support plate 162 and a plurality of support columns 163; wherein, at least a portion of the support bearing 161 passes through the cover plate 102 and is connected to the driving mechanism 15, the support plate 162 is connected to the support column 163, a plurality of support columns 163 are arranged at intervals between the support plate 162 and the boat seat 14, and one end of the support column 163 is connected to the support plate 162, and the other end is connected to the boat seat 14; the driving mechanism 15 can be used to drive the support bearing 161 to rotate, so as to drive the support plate 162, the support column 163, the boat seat 14 and the quartz boat 200 to rotate together through the rotation of the support bearing 161, thereby improving the coating uniformity of the silicon-based material on the quartz boat 200.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the driving mechanism 15 may specifically include a driving member 151 and a transmission member 152, and the output end of the driving member 151 is connected to the transmission member 152 to output power to the transmission member 152. The transmission member 152 is connected to the support bearing 161 to transmit the power output by the driving member 151 to the support bearing 161. For example, the driving member 151 may specifically be a motor, and the transmission member 152 may be a reducer.

[0057] Optionally, the furnace tube may further include a first thermal insulation component 17, which is disposed between the support plate 162 and the cover plate 102, and is used to achieve thermal insulation between the cover plate 102 and the support plate 162; wherein the first thermal insulation component 17 includes at least one of a thermal insulation cotton component, a thermal insulation fiber component and a nano-ceramic component.

[0058] In a specific application, when the first heat-insulating member 17 is a heat-insulating cotton member, a heat-insulating fiber member or a nano-ceramic member, since the heat-insulating cotton, the heat-insulating limiter and the nano-ceramic have good heat-insulating effects, the first heat-insulating member 17 can achieve good heat-insulating effects with a small longitudinal thickness. In this way, the volume of the first heat-insulating member 17 can be reduced, and the space in the furnace body 10 can be saved, so that more quartz boats 200 can be placed in the furnace body 10, thereby improving the production capacity of the furnace body 10.

[0059] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the furnace tube may further include a magnetic fluid seal 18, which is connected between the support bearing 161 and the cover plate 102. The magnetic fluid seal 18 can be used to achieve dynamic sealing between the support bearing 161 and the cover plate 102, and has a good sealing effect, effectively ensuring the vacuum degree in the accommodation space.

[0060] It should be noted that, in actual applications, the support bearing 161 and the cover plate 102 may also be sealed by using a sealing ring or the like. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the sealing method between the support bearing 161 and the cover plate 102 .

[0061] Optionally, the furnace body 10 is a stainless steel furnace body. Since stainless steel has the advantages of good toughness, high heat conduction efficiency and good stability, when the furnace body 10 is made of stainless steel, it is difficult to have risks such as short-term fracture, and the furnace tube can be effectively and stably operated for a long time. In practical applications, a high temperature resistant coating can be added to the furnace body 10 to further increase the service life of the furnace body 10.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, the furnace tube may further include a temperature measuring tube 21, which may extend from the top of the furnace body 10 to the accommodation space in the furnace body 10 to detect the temperature in the accommodation space, which is beneficial to the temperature control in the accommodation space.

The second thermal insulation member 23 may be used to achieve thermal insulation of the heating mechanism 11. On the one hand, it may avoid heat loss of the heating mechanism 11. On the other hand, it may also avoid potential safety hazards caused by the high temperature of the heating mechanism 11 being transferred to the environment.

[0064] For example, the material of the second thermal insulation component 23 may include but is not limited to at least one of thermal insulation cotton, thermal insulation fiber and nano-ceramics. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the material of the second thermal insulation component 23.

[0065] In summary, the furnace tube described in the embodiment of the present application can at least include the following advantages:

The air outlet of the air inlet pipe is arranged near the second end of the accommodation space to discharge the gas to the second end of the accommodation space. Since the air inlet pipe is spirally distributed in the accommodation space, the reaction gas can be fully preheated in the process of flowing from the air inlet of the air inlet pipe to the air outlet. The temperature difference between the temperature of the reaction gas after preheating and the temperature of the accommodation space itself is small. In this way, the uniformity of the temperature field of the accommodation space during the discharge of the reaction gas can be improved. Thereby, the coating quality of the furnace tube when coating the silicon-based material can be improved.

[0067] An embodiment of the present application further provides a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition device, and the low-pressure chemical vapor deposition device may specifically include any of the furnace tubes described above.
