Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a device for detecting trace helium in silane gas. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the silane product standard GB / T 15909-2017 "Silane Gas for the Electronics Industry" stipulates the detection of components, moisture and metal content, but does not include relevant content on helium content detection; however, some advanced international semiconductor companies such as TSMC and Yangtze Memory have put forward requirements for the helium content in silane.

[0003] Methods for trace analysis of gas components include gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry requires equipment that can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan, and subsequent maintenance and operating costs are high. Gas chromatography, based on detector performance, is categorized into helium ionization gas chromatography (PDD), hydrogen flame ionization gas chromatography (FID), flame photometry gas chromatography (FPD), and conductivity detection gas chromatography (TCD). Helium ionization gas chromatography, hydrogen flame ionization gas chromatography, and flame photometry gas chromatography are unable to detect helium content. While conductivity detection gas chromatography can detect helium content, its high detection limit of 10 ppmv falls far short of the helium content requirements of semiconductor customers. Furthermore, silane, a gas in the electronics industry that spontaneously ignites in contact with air, cannot be safely detected using traditional gas chromatography. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0019] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention provides a device for detecting trace helium in silane gas, which is used to analyze the helium content in silane gas. The device comprises a gas concentrator 101, a gas chromatograph 102 with a TCD detector, and an analysis disk. The analysis disk transmits a silane gas sample generated by an external device to the gas concentrator 101, where the sample gas is concentrated. The gas chromatograph 102 with the TCD analyzes the trace helium using the principle of heart cutting. Specifically, the gas concentrator 101 concentrates the silane gas in a concentrator tube using liquid nitrogen, then desorbs the sample into the gas chromatograph via a heating module, thereby greatly improving the sensitivity of helium detection. The gas chromatograph 102 is equipped with a TCD detector and a corresponding chromatographic column suitable for helium analysis, thereby detecting trace helium in silane. The heart cutting method utilizes the different distribution coefficients of silane and helium in the chromatographic column. By controlling the valve switching time of a ten-way valve, helium is introduced into the detector while silane is vented, thereby preventing silane from contaminating the detector.

[0021] It should be noted that the gas concentrator and the gas chromatograph with a TCD detector are both existing products, and their specific working principles will not be repeated here.

[0022] The analysis disk is provided with a sample branch 103, a purge branch 115, a standard gas branch 104, a first carrier gas branch 105, a first drive gas branch 106, a first tail gas discharge branch 107, a second carrier gas branch 108, a second drive gas branch 109, a second tail gas discharge branch 110, a first discharge drive branch 111, a second discharge drive branch 112, a vacuum branch 113, and a carrier gas discharge branch 114, that is, a gas concentrator and a gas chromatograph with a TCD detector are all connected to the analysis disk.

[0023] The sample input end of the gas concentrator 101 is connected to a sample branch 103, a standard gas branch 104 and a first carrier gas branch 105 arranged in parallel.

The gas of the standard gas branch 104 is used to transport standard gas to the gas concentrator 101, and the first carrier gas branch 105 is used to transport carrier gas to the gas concentrator 101.

The vacuum pump is used to perform vacuuming, and the twenty-third valve controls whether vacuuming is enabled. Furthermore, the vacuum pump has a maximum vacuum level of -30 psi.

A sixth pressure gauge 35 is located between the inputs of the eighth and tenth valves 8 and 10. It should be noted that the first nitrogen input delivers high-purity nitrogen.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first exhaust gas discharge branch 107 includes a twelfth valve 12 , a seventh pressure gauge 36 , and a third one-way valve 37 , which are sequentially arranged along the gas flow direction.

[0032] In this embodiment, to facilitate exhaust gas treatment, the exhaust gas discharged from the gas concentrator is directly sent to the exhaust gas treatment equipment. However, since the exhaust gas treatment equipment is a certain distance away from the detection equipment, to facilitate better delivery of the exhaust gas discharged from the gas concentrator to the exhaust gas treatment equipment, the first exhaust gas discharge branch 107 is connected to the first discharge drive branch 111. Specifically, the first discharge drive branch 111 includes a thirteenth valve 13 for controlling nitrogen input.

[0035] In this embodiment, to facilitate the treatment of exhaust gas, the exhaust gas discharged from the gas chromatograph is directly sent to the exhaust gas treatment equipment. However, since the exhaust gas treatment equipment is a certain distance away from the detection equipment, in order to facilitate the better delivery of the exhaust gas discharged from the gas chromatograph to the exhaust gas treatment equipment, the second exhaust gas discharge branch 110 is connected to the second discharge drive branch 112. Specifically, the second discharge drive branch 112 includes a twenty-first valve 21 for controlling the input of nitrogen gas. The output side of the twenty-first valve 21 is provided with a twelfth pressure gauge 49, a sixth pressure regulating valve 50, a thirteenth pressure gauge 51, a sixth one-way valve 52, and a twenty-second valve 22 in sequence along the gas flow direction.
