[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A reaction device 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown. The reaction device 100 can accommodate a plurality of sheet materials and perform film plating processing on the plurality of sheet materials.
[0025] It can be understood that a reaction space 1011 can be formed in the reaction device 100. The plurality of sheet materials can be first loaded on a carrier and then enter the reaction space 1011 synchronously with the carrier. Then the reaction device 100 can heat the reaction space 1011 and introduce reaction gas into the reaction space 1011 and discharge the waste gas generated after processing, so as to complete the film plating processing on the sheet materials in the reaction space 1011.
[0026] In embodiments of the present application, the type of the sheet material is not particularly limited. For example, the sheet material can be, but is not limited to, a silicon wafer, a silicon carbide wafer, or a wafer. The carrier can be, but is not limited to, a quartz boat or a graphite boat.
[0027] In embodiments of the present application, the process of processing the sheet material by the reaction device 100 is not particularly limited. For example, the reaction device 100 can perform a film plating process on the sheet material by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process.
[0028] In embodiments of the present application, the reaction device 100 can include a reaction furnace 101, an end cover 102, and a gas inlet mechanism 103. The reaction furnace 101 can be provided with a furnace opening 1012 at a bottom end in a vertical direction. The reaction furnace 101 is provided with a reaction space 1011 therein, and the reaction space 1011 is in communication with the furnace opening 1012. The end cover 102 is connected to the reaction furnace 101 and can block the furnace opening 1012. Part of the gas inlet mechanism 103 is accommodated in the reaction space 1011, and the remaining structure penetrates the reaction furnace 101 and extends out of the reaction furnace 101. The gas inlet mechanism 103 can introduce a reaction gas into the reaction space 1011 from a top of the reaction space 1011 in the vertical direction, and a carrier loaded with a sheet material can enter the reaction space 1011 through the furnace opening 1012. In this way, by allowing the reaction gas to contact the sheet material in the reaction space 1011, the reaction device 100 can perform a film plating process on the sheet material.
[0029] It can be understood that the reaction furnace 101 can also be provided with an exhaust mechanism, a heating mechanism, a heat preservation mechanism, etc. to achieve the functions of exhaust, heating, and heat preservation of the reaction space 1011. The principles of achieving the above functions are known in the art, and will not be described here.
[0030] It can be understood that the end cover 102 can be movably connected to the reaction furnace 101, i.e., the end cover 102 can close the furnace opening 1012 and be relatively fixed to the reaction furnace 101, or can be moved after being relatively fixed to the reaction furnace 101 to expose the furnace opening 1012. For example, one side of the end cover 102 can be hinged to one end of the reaction furnace 101 provided with the furnace opening 1012, and the end cover 102 can be fixed to the reaction furnace 101 by bolts, buckles, etc. For another example, the end cover 102 can be mounted to one end of the reaction furnace 101 provided with the furnace opening 1012 by a flange and bolts.
[0031] It can be understood that the height direction and the width direction of the reaction device 100 can be defined as the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, respectively. For example, the vertical direction is the Y direction shown in FIG. 1, and the horizontal direction is the X direction shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1 Figure 1
[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the air inlet mechanism 103 can include a first air pipe 10, a receiving seat 20, and a cover 30. The first air pipe 10 can be located in the reaction space 1011, and at least part of the body of the first air pipe 10 can extend in the vertical direction. The top end of the first air pipe 10 is open, and the first air pipe 10 is in communication with the reaction space 1011. The receiving seat 20 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first air pipe 10 in the vertical direction and is located in the reaction space 1011. The receiving seat 20 is provided with a receiving groove 21. The receiving groove 21 is in communication with the first air pipe 10. The bottom of the receiving seat 20 in the vertical direction is provided with a slag discharge port 22, and the slag discharge port 22 is in communication with the receiving groove 21. The cover 30 is detachably connected to the bottom of the receiving seat 20, and the cover 30 can block the slag discharge port 22.
[0033] It can be understood that the receiving seat 20 can access the reaction gas, and the reaction gas can flow into the first air pipe 10 through the receiving groove 21 and flow to the top of the first air pipe 10, and then enter the reaction space 1011 through the opening at the top of the first air pipe 10.
[0034] Under the action of the temperature in the reaction space 1011 and the reaction gas in the first air pipe 10, a thin film is formed on the inner wall of the first air pipe 10 at the same time as the sheet material in the reaction space 1011 is processed. In the process of long-term operation of the reaction device 100, the thin film on the inner wall of the first air pipe 10 will gradually fall off to form waste slag, which will fall and accumulate in the direction of the bottom of the first air pipe 10 under the action of gravity. At this time, the waste slag can enter the receiving groove 21 and accumulate in the receiving groove 21. After the reaction device 100 completes the preset number of film processing, the worker or the automatic equipment can open the end cover 102 to expose the furnace opening 1012, and then enter the reaction space 1011 through the furnace opening 1012. Then the worker or the automatic equipment can open the cover 30 and collect the waste slag in the receiving groove 21.
[0035] In this way, the accumulation of waste slag in the air inlet mechanism 103 can be reduced to block the air inlet mechanism 103, and the flow of gas in the air inlet mechanism 103 can be improved, thereby improving the effect of the reaction device 100 on the film processing of the sheet material.
[0036] It can be understood that after the collection of waste slag is completed, the worker or the automatic equipment can close the cover 30, and then the reaction device 100 can continue to process the sheet material.

The sealing pipe 42 can pass through the reaction furnace 101 and be sealingly connected with the reaction furnace 101. The first sub-pipe 41 is located in the reaction space 1011, and the second sub-pipe 43 is located outside the reaction furnace 101.
[0041] It can be understood that the outer diameter of the sealing pipe 42 can be greater than the outer diameter of the first sub-pipe 41 and greater than the outer diameter of the second sub-pipe 43. The sealing pipe 42 and the reaction furnace 101 can be sealingly connected by a sealing ring or other sealing mechanism.
[0042] In the embodiments of the present application, the connection manner of the first sub-pipe 41, the sealing pipe 42 and the second sub-pipe 43 is not particularly limited. For example, the first sub-pipe 41, the sealing pipe 42 and the second sub-pipe 43 can be fixedly welded or fixedly formed. For example, the sealing pipe 42 can be sleeved on the first sub-pipe 41 and the second sub-pipe 43, or the first sub-pipe 41 and the second sub-pipe 43 can be sleeved on the sealing pipe 42; and the sealing pipe 42 is sealingly connected with the first sub-pipe 41 and the second sub-pipe 43.

[0046] In other embodiments, the first gas pipe 10, the receiving seat 20, the cover 30 and the second gas pipe 40 can all be located outside the reaction furnace 101, and a turning branch pipe (not shown in the figure) can be provided at the top of the first gas pipe 10. The turning branch pipe can pass through the reaction furnace 101 and enter the reaction space 1011, so as to deliver the reaction gas to the reaction space 1011 at the top of the reaction furnace 101. At this time, the second gas pipe 40 can not comprise a sealing head, and the first sub-pipe 41 and the second sub-pipe 43 can be directly connected and communicated.
