Description
Technical Field

[0002] At present, in traditional plasma processing systems, the cooling channel in the cooled plasma electrode is a one-way channel. The coolant flows from the inlet end of the cooling channel through the inside of the electrode and then flows out from the outlet end of the cooling channel. The coolant will gradually absorb heat in the process of flowing through the inside of the electrode, causing the temperature of the coolant to gradually rise and the efficiency of absorbing heat to gradually decrease, making the front section of the cooling channel more efficient in absorbing heat and the rear section less efficient in absorbing heat, making the temperature of the electrode area close to the front section of the cooling channel lower and the temperature of the electrode area close to the rear section of the cooling channel higher. The front section of the cooling channel of the traditional cooled plasma electrode is usually distributed in a part of the area inside the electrode, and the rear section is distributed in another part of the area inside the electrode, resulting in different cooling degrees inside the electrode, large temperature difference, and poor uniformity, which in turn leads to decreased performance and shortened life of the electrode.

[0027] At present, in traditional plasma systems, the cooling channel inside the electrode is a one-way channel that follows a regular path, allowing the coolant to flow from the inlet end through the inside of the electrode and then out from the outlet end. The coolant will gradually absorb heat in the process of flowing through the inside of the electrode, causing the temperature of the coolant to gradually rise, making the front section of the cooling channel more efficient in absorbing heat, and the rear section less efficient in absorbing heat, making the temperature of the electrode area near the front section of the cooling channel lower, and the temperature of the electrode area near the rear section of the cooling channel higher, resulting in different degrees of cooling inside the electrode, large temperature difference, and poor uniformity, which in turn leads to decreased performance and shortened life of the electrode.
[0028] In response to the problems of different cooling degrees, large temperature differences and poor uniformity inside the electrode, the utility model provides a cooled plasma electrode and a plasma processing system. The cooled plasma electrode includes an electrode body, and the electrode body is internally provided with a first diversion channel, a second diversion channel, a converging channel, a first cooling channel, a second cooling channel and a plurality of third cooling channels.

[0030] According to the solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the interior of the electrode body is provided with a first shunt channel, a second shunt channel, a converging channel, a first cooling channel, a second cooling channel and a plurality of third cooling channels, and one end of the first cooling channel and one end of the second cooling channel are respectively sealed and connected with the first shunt channel, so that the coolant can be evenly diverted to the first cooling channel and the second cooling channel, and the other end of the first cooling channel and the other end of the second cooling channel are respectively sealed and connected with the second shunt channel, so that the coolant is temporarily collected in the second shunt channel, and then one end of each third cooling channel is respectively sealed and connected with the second shunt channel, so that the coolant can be evenly diverted to the first cooling channel and the second cooling channel, and the other end of the first cooling channel and the other end of the second cooling channel are respectively sealed and connected with the second shunt channel, so that the coolant can be evenly diverted to the first cooling channel and the second cooling channel, The cooling liquid is evenly distributed to each third cooling channel, so that each cooling channel absorbs heat with the same efficiency. At the same time, since the first cooling channel, the third cooling channel and the second cooling channel are arranged side by side in sequence, the cooling liquid flows evenly through the interior of the electrode, which can make the temperature distribution inside the electrode more uniform, thereby improving the performance of the electrode and increasing the life of the electrode. In addition, each third cooling channel outputs the heated cooling liquid to the confluence channel in a unified manner. The confluence channel outputs the heated cooling liquid in a centralized manner, which can prevent the heated cooling liquid from destroying the uniformity of the temperature distribution inside the electrode, thereby improving the performance of the electrode and increasing the life of the electrode.
