Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model specifically relates to an integrated storage tank for purifying, collecting and filling hydrogen bromide. Background Art
[0002] Hydrogen bromide, also known as hydrobromic acid, is a binary compound of HBr. It is highly corrosive and can react with some active metal powders. It is the basic raw material for the manufacture of various inorganic bromides and certain alkyl bromides.
[0003] In semiconductor manufacturing, electronic specialty gases are crucial throughout the entire semiconductor manufacturing process. Plasma etching technology using hydrogen bromide (HB) as a specialty electronic gas enables highly selective polysilicon etching in 8-inch and 12-inch chip manufacturing processes, making it a core gas in advanced chip manufacturing. Therefore, high-purity electronic-grade HB has become a core product for semiconductor technology.
[0004] In existing technologies, plasma hydrogen bromide etching technology can precisely control etching depth and verticality, while being ozone-safe and greenhouse gas-free, making it a promising alternative to fluorocarbon etching gases. The development of the semiconductor industry has placed higher demands on the purity of electronic-grade hydrogen bromide used in key process etching processes. Impurity contamination during the manufacturing process can easily damage circuit functionality within the chip, leading to integrated circuit failure and affecting the formation of geometric features. Therefore, high-purity hydrogen bromide gas is essential.
[0005] High-purity electronic-grade hydrogen bromide, due to its high etching selectivity and ability to precisely control etching morphology and angle, has become one of the core gases for etching semiconductor phosphorus-doped N-type polysilicon, phosphorus-doped single-crystalline silicon, or two-dimensional semiconductors. Therefore, the development of high-purity hydrogen bromide is of great practical significance to the future development of the electronics industry. Light component removal is key in the hydrogen bromide gas purification process. The lower the light component impurity content, the better the hydrogen bromide quality. Therefore, light components seriously affect product purity and application, which has become a technical bottleneck for the purification of high-purity electronic-grade hydrogen bromide.
[0006] In practice, it is found that due to the strong corrosiveness of hydrogen bromide, hydrogen bromide reacts with the inner wall of the equipment material, causing the light component hydrocarbon impurities in high-purity electronic-grade hydrogen bromide to exceed the standard, such as methane and carbon dioxide.
