Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling structures for cleaning systems, in particular to a water cooling system without a three-way water valve. Background Art

[0002] In semiconductor equipment, the process chamber is too far away from the terminal pipelines and valves. Therefore, when cleaning the process chamber, the contaminants on the terminal pipelines and valves cannot be completely removed. Therefore, a separate cleaning system is required for the terminal pipelines. Since the terminal pipelines and valves are connected together and the path is close, the valves can be cleaned at the same time as the pipelines.

[0003] During the operation of a pipe cleaning system, chemical reactions generate a large amount of heat. If this heat is not dissipated promptly, the clean gas transmission pipeline will heat up and even risk damage, affecting the normal operation and stability of semiconductor equipment. Therefore, the pipe cleaning system requires a well-designed heat dissipation structure to promptly remove the generated heat and maintain the normal operating temperature of the clean gas transmission pipeline.

[0004] The cooling structure of the existing pipeline cleaning system has a three-way water valve, which consumes a lot of consumables. At the same time, the detection signals are numerous and complex, which causes the system to frequently issue alarm signals, affecting its stability and operating efficiency, and the cooling effect is poor. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a water cooling system without a three-way water valve, which can save consumables and cool the heat source position in the first time, with better cooling effect; the detection signal is small and the system is more stable.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present application proposes a water cooling system without a three-way water valve, comprising:

[0007] Water inlet and supply block, used to provide cooling water;

[0008] A first-size pipeline end cooling block a is provided on the first-size clean gas transmission pipeline, and a water inlet end of the first-size pipeline end cooling block a is connected to the water inlet supply block;

[0009] A first-size pipeline end cooling block b is provided on the first-size clean gas transmission pipeline, and the water inlet end of the first-size pipeline end cooling block b is connected to the water return end of the first-size pipeline end cooling block a;

[0010] The second-size pipeline end cooling block a is provided on the second-size clean gas transmission pipeline, and the water inlet end of the second-size pipeline end cooling block a is connected to the water return end of the first-size pipeline end cooling block b;

[0011] The second-size pipeline end cooling block b is provided on the second-size clean gas transmission pipeline, and the water inlet end of the second-size pipeline end cooling block b is connected to the water return end of the second-size pipeline end cooling block a;

[0012] The water inlet end of the plasma gas source pipeline with water cooling is connected to the water return end of the cooling block b at the second size pipeline end.

[0013] Furthermore, the water return end of the water-cooled plasma gas source pipeline is connected to the cooling water inlet end of the RPS remote plasma emitter.

[0014] Furthermore, the RPS remote plasma launcher cooling water return end is connected to the water return supply block.

[0015] Furthermore, after the first-size pipeline end cooling block a is docked with the first-size pipeline end cooling block b, the first-size clean gas transmission pipeline can be completely wrapped.

[0016] Furthermore, after the second-size pipeline end cooling block a is docked with the second-size pipeline end cooling block b, the second-size clean gas transmission pipeline can be completely wrapped.

[0017] Furthermore, the first-size pipeline end cooling block a and the first-size pipeline end cooling block b are an up-down structure or a left-right structure.

[0018] Furthermore, the second-size pipeline end cooling block a and the second-size pipeline end cooling block b are an up-down structure or a left-right structure.

[0019] Furthermore, the first-size pipeline end cooling block a, the first-size pipeline end cooling block b, the second-size pipeline end cooling block a and the second-size pipeline end cooling block b are made of alloy material.

[0020] Furthermore, the first-sized cleaning gas transmission pipeline is located at a heat source position of the pipeline cleaning system.

[0021] Furthermore, the water inlet supply block is connected to the cooling block a at the end of the first size pipeline through the water inlet joint, and the return water supply block is connected to the RPS remote plasma emitter cooling through the return water joint, and water source shut-off valves are provided on the water inlet joint and the return water joint.

[0022] The above technical solution adopted by this utility model has the following advantages over the existing technology: due to the high temperature of the equipment end, the valve connected to it will also reach a high temperature due to heat conduction, which inevitably shortens the service life of the valve internal sealing ring. To address this problem, this water cooling system can cool the pipeline in real time, effectively extending the service life of the sealing ring by reducing its operating temperature.

[0023] During cleaning, the chemical reaction in the first-size pipe area releases a significant amount of heat. This heat is quickly transferred to the entire pipe, making the first-size pipe the primary heat source in the cooling system. To more effectively control the overall temperature, cooling the first-size pipe is prioritized, rapidly reducing the overall temperature and achieving a more significant cooling effect.

[0024] Furthermore, compared to previous water-cooling systems, the system eliminates the need for a three-way water valve, saving consumables and reducing the number of detection signals. This not only simplifies the system structure but also significantly improves its stability and reliability. The use of energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and safe alloy materials effectively protects equipment and personnel. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
