Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas diversion technology, and in particular to a gas diversion device. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of PBN products, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology is used. Boron trichloride (BCl3), ammonia (NH3), and carrier gas (N2) are mixed at controlled flow rates and proportions and then fed into a high-temperature reactor. The reaction temperature in the high-temperature furnace ranges from 1600 to 2000°C, and a certain reaction pressure is controlled. The reaction time is controlled according to the required thickness. The gases react to form PBN, which covers the substrate. After the substrate is removed from the furnace, the PBN product, such as a crucible or plate, is obtained. Graphite is generally chosen as the substrate and is processed into different shapes as needed.
[0003] During the gasification process, due to the large amount of boron trichloride, it is difficult to mix evenly with ammonia. After entering the deposition chamber from the gas pipe, the gas exhibits a distribution that is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. Therefore, the gas dispersion is poor throughout the furnace, resulting in poor product uniformity. Thus, it is necessary to mix and distribute the gas evenly in all directions within the furnace chamber during the reaction process. This application proposes a gas diversion device, installed at the end of the gas inlet pipe of a vapor deposition furnace, to evenly distribute the gas in all directions within the furnace chamber, thereby improving product quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects or deficiencies in the prior art, it is desirable to provide a gas diversion device.
[0005] This utility model provides a gas diversion device, which is installed at the end of the gas inlet pipe of a vapor deposition furnace. It includes a mounting ring, an inlet plate fixedly mounted at one end of the mounting ring, and multiple coaxial guide gas hoods fixedly mounted on the end face of the inlet plate away from the mounting ring. The inlet plate has a number of vent holes arranged in a ring shape between every two adjacent guide gas hoods, and a central vent hole is provided on the inlet plate corresponding to the innermost guide gas hood. The vent holes and the central vent hole are used to transport gas between the multiple guide gas hoods and disperse it in a circumferential direction in a hierarchical manner.
[0006] Furthermore, the air guide shroud is coaxially arranged with the air intake disc.
[0007] Furthermore, the air guide shroud is cone-shaped, and the small-diameter end of the air guide shroud is fixedly mounted on the air intake plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the height of the plurality of air guide hoods increases sequentially from the outside to the inside.
[0009] Furthermore, the size of the ventilation hole and the vent diameter can be adjusted according to the actual situation.
[0010] Furthermore, the mounting ring, air intake plate, and air guide shroud are all made of graphite material.

[0022] During the CVD process, the uniformity of the thickness of PBN products is affected by the airflow direction. Therefore, the gas fed into the high-temperature reactor should be dispersed as uniformly as possible to improve the quality of the product.
