Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of integrated circuit heat recovery, in particular to a power generation system using a heat recovery principle and applied in the field of integrated circuits. Background Art
[0002] In the semiconductor manufacturing process, the wafer bumping wet process is one of the key steps, but this process will produce a large amount of high-temperature waste liquid. These waste liquids not only need to be properly handled to avoid environmental pollution, but also contain huge thermal energy potential. However, traditional treatment methods often lead to the waste of this heat energy because the heat energy carried by the waste liquid is not effectively utilized during the cooling process.
[0003] Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is a Rankine cycle with low-boiling-point organic matter as the working fluid. It is mainly composed of four major parts: waste heat boiler (or heat exchanger), expander, condenser and working fluid pump. Its working principle is shown in the figure. The organic working fluid absorbs heat from the waste heat flow in the heat exchanger to generate steam with a certain pressure and temperature. The steam enters the turbine machinery to expand and do work, thereby driving the generator or dragging other power machinery. The steam discharged from the turbine releases heat to the cooling water in the condenser, condenses into liquid, and finally returns to the heat exchanger with the help of the working fluid pump, and the cycle continues. However, there is currently no method for recycling the high-temperature waste liquid generated in the wet process of wafer bumping through the organic Rankine cycle. Utility Model Content
