Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of liquid-gas conversion mechanisms, in particular to a liquid-gas conversion mechanism for thin film deposition equipment. Background Art
[0002] During the CVD process, the liquid-to-gas conversion mechanism is primarily responsible for converting liquid precursors into gaseous precursors for chemical reactions. Specifically, the liquid-to-gas conversion mechanism converts liquid precursors into gaseous precursors through heating, evaporation, and other methods. These gaseous precursors then enter the reaction chamber for chemical reactions. This process is crucial for controlling the reaction rate and improving film quality. Application No. 202322580698.6 describes an evaporating crucible comprising an integral crucible body and a material guide tube. The crucible body is cylindrical, with an open top for feeding. The upper portion of the material guide tube extends from the bottom of the crucible body toward the interior of the crucible body, with the upper edge of the material guide tube lower than the upper edge of the crucible body; the lower portion of the material guide tube extends downward from the bottom of the crucible body. When heating materials using this evaporating crucible, the materials are heated evenly and evaporate quickly, and the material guide tube located in the crucible allows most of the gaseous material to flow out of the crucible.
[0003] The above technical solution is not convenient for automatic stirring when evaporating the liquid precursor. As a result, the fluidity of the liquid precursor in the heating container is average, and the heat dissipation efficiency is low, which is not conducive to rapid evaporation of the liquid. In addition, it is not convenient to effectively use steam power to heat the liquid for enhanced stirring during the evaporation of the liquid precursor. Utility Model Content

[0023] This solution has the following working process: before use, the sealing cover plate 3 is covered on the upper end of the storage container 2. When the heating base 1 is powered on, the storage container 2 and the liquid precursor inside can be heated. After being heated, the liquid precursor is converted into a gaseous precursor and discharged into the processing chamber of the thin film deposition equipment through the outlet pipe 4.
