[0037] In order to avoid the charging of the gas distribution aluminum block and the gas path, the PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) equipment needs to use an insulating material ceramic base to increase the spatial distance of high and low potential, so a ceramic block is generally used as an intermetallic connector. The ceramic base as a connector needs to bear three functions of support, fixation and communication of water path and gas path; among which, as part of the water path, there is a risk of leakage. When the ceramic base is installed and fixed, uneven stress occurs, and cracks will directly cause the leakage of circulating water, eventually leading to equipment downtime. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the sealing of the water path connected with the ceramic base and other components to improve the safety and durability of the equipment. In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment discloses a pipe device 100 of a ceramic connector seat.
[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11 In this embodiment, the pipe device 100 of the ceramic connector seat disclosed by the embodiment is applied to the thin film deposition process of a semiconductor equipment, specifically, the pipe device 100 of the ceramic connector seat is used to connect the mechanism between the external gas source and the top cover of the process chamber, which is used to provide process gas and cooling circuit for the process chamber.
[0039] The pipe device 100 of the ceramic connector seat comprises a ceramic connector seat 1 and a pipe 4, the ceramic connector seat 1 is provided with a liquid path channel, the pipe 4 is inserted into the liquid path channel, and both ends of the pipe 4 protrude out of the surface of the ceramic connector seat 1. The ceramic connector seat 1 is used to fixedly connect the gas distribution block 2 and the top cover 3 of the process chamber, and the ceramic connector seat 1 can increase the physical distance between the gas distribution block 2 and the top cover 3, thereby reducing the potential between them, reducing the charging of the gas distribution block 2 and the process gas, and reducing the influence on the uniformity of the process gas.
[0040] In the embodiment, the pipe 4 is added in the liquid passage in the ceramic connector 1. Since the pipe 4 can be made of other materials, it has better plasticity and compatibility compared with the ceramic connector 1 made of ceramic material, thereby avoiding the insufficient sealing of the ceramic connector 1 made of ceramic material and other components, and reducing the risk of liquid or gas leakage. When the ceramic connector 1 is assembled with the gas distribution block 2 and the top cover 3, the two ends of the pipe 4 embedded in the ceramic connector 1 extend out of the surface of the ceramic connector 1. Therefore, the part extending out of the surface of the ceramic connector 1 can be inserted into the corresponding passage of the gas distribution block 2 or the top cover 3, so that the internal liquid or gas passage of the ceramic connector 1 has high sealing performance after being assembled with the gas distribution block 2 and the top cover 3, and the risk of liquid or gas leakage is reduced.
[0041] It can be understood that, in order to improve the sealing performance of the gas passage between the gas distribution block 2 and the ceramic connector 1, the pipe 4 can also be added in the gas passage in the ceramic connector 1.
[0042] The outer side wall of the pipe 4 is further provided with a protruding ring 41, the inner wall of the liquid passage is provided with an arc-shaped groove 121 corresponding to the protruding ring 41 near the upper port, and the protruding ring 41 is connected in the arc-shaped groove 121. The protruding ring 41 can improve the sealing performance of the ceramic connector 1 assembled therewith, and the pipe 4 can be hung on the ceramic connector 1 through the protruding ring.
[0043] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 6 In the embodiment, the liquid passage includes a liquid inlet passage 11 and a liquid outlet passage 12 opened in the ceramic connector 1. The liquid inlet passage 11 and the liquid outlet passage 12 longitudinally penetrate the ceramic connector 1. The liquid passage is used to transport circulating cooling liquid into the top cover 3, and is used to cool the top cover 3 and other components.
[0044] It can be understood that, in the embodiment, only the liquid inlet passage 11 and the liquid outlet passage 12 are taken as examples to describe the connection mode of the ceramic connector 1 and the pipe 4. In other embodiments, more other liquid passages or gas passages can be arranged in the ceramic connector 1. Correspondingly, the liquid passages and the gas passages can be improved in sealing performance of the connection passage between the gas distribution block 2 or the top cover 3 by adding the pipe 4.
[0045] In the embodiment, the pipe 4 is a polytetrafluoroethylene pipe. In other embodiments, the pipe can also be made of other materials, which have the characteristics of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, etc.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7, the ceramic connecting seat 1 comprises a seat body 10, and upper and lower connecting plates 13 and 14 extending laterally from the top and bottom surfaces of the seat body 10, and the outer surfaces of the upper and lower connecting plates 13 and 14 are provided with raised ribs 131 (141).

In this embodiment, the connecting member 8 is a screw, and the corresponding positions of the gas distribution block 2 and the top cover 3 are provided with threaded holes.
[0049] Please refer again to Figures 8 to 11 The upper and lower connecting plates 13 and 14 are also provided with a hinge pressing piece 5, which comprises a first connecting part 52 and a second connecting part 51 bent from the edge of the first connecting part 52, and the first connecting part 52 is fixedly connected to the upper and lower connecting plates 13 and 14 by the connecting member 8.

The hinge pressing piece 5 is added to the upper and lower connecting plates 13 and 14 of the ceramic connecting seat 1, and when the ceramic connecting seat 1 is connected to the gas distribution block 2 and the top cover 3 by the connecting member 8 such as a screw, the screw is pressed against the hinge pressing piece 5 and then screwed to the gas distribution block 2 or the top cover 3. At this time, the hinge pressing piece 5 can share the contact surface pressure generated by the screw connection, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the ceramic connecting seat 1, and can make the force on the connecting surface of the ceramic connecting seat 1 balanced, so that the sealing performance of the connection and assembly is better.
[0050] The inner surface of the second connecting part 51 is also provided with a plurality of grooves 512, and the raised ribs 131 (141) are clamped in the grooves 512. The clamping and matching structure of the raised ribs 131 (141) and the grooves 512 can improve the stability and reliability of the connection between the ceramic connecting seat 1 and other components, and can also generate tension on the screw to avoid vibration and loosening.
[0051] As shown in Figure 8 The first connecting part 52 comprises a plurality of parallel connecting pieces 521 (522, 523), each of which is provided with a connecting through hole 5211, and the connecting piece 8 is threaded into the connecting through hole 5211 and then threaded into the corresponding gas distribution block 2 or the top cover 3 through the upper connecting plate 13 or the lower connecting plate 14.
[0052] The inner side of the bending position of the first connecting part 52 and the second connecting part 51 is further provided with an arc-shaped groove 511, which is fitted to the edge corner position of the upper connecting plate 13 and / or the lower connecting plate 14.
[0053] The hinged pressing piece 5 is connected to the ceramic connecting seat 1, and the first connecting part 52 and the second connecting part 51 form an acute angle, and when assembled to the ceramic connecting seat 1, the first connecting part 52 and the second connecting part 51 are opened from the arc-shaped groove 511, the angle is increased, and the top surface and the side surface of the upper connecting plate 13 or the lower connecting plate 14 are fitted.

For example, the liquid inlet hole 21 in the gas distribution block 2 is aligned and communicated with the liquid inlet channel 11 on the ceramic connecting seat 1, and the liquid outlet hole 22 is aligned and communicated with the liquid outlet channel 12.
[0055] The outer side of the gas distribution block 2 is further connected with a liquid inlet pipe 6. The abutting surface of the ceramic connecting seat 1 and the gas distribution block 2, and the abutting surface of the ceramic connecting seat 1 and the top cover 3 are all provided with a sealing ring 7, which is used to improve the sealing performance of the abutting surface.
[0056] In the second aspect, the embodiment of the utility model provides a thin film deposition equipment, the thin film deposition equipment includes the pipeline device 100 of the ceramic connecting seat as any one of the above.
[0057] The pipeline device of the ceramic connecting seat and the thin film deposition equipment thereof improve the sealing performance of the internal pipeline by adding a pipe in the liquid path channel of the ceramic connecting seat, and the two ends of the pipe are extended out of the surface of the ceramic connecting seat to be inserted with other components. In order to balance the stress when the ceramic connecting seat is connected with other components, a hinged pressing piece is added to reduce the probability of damaging the ceramic connecting seat during assembly. During the disassembly and maintenance of the equipment, the ceramic connecting seat is also more convenient to disassemble and assemble, which improves its reusability and saves cost.
