DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The drawings are referred to.Figure 1 When the organic polymer chemical vapor deposition device is in deposition operation, raw materials are put into the raw material evaporation chamber 1 from the material inlet cover 10. After the material inlet cover 10 is closed, the device pipeline is vacuumized by the program control vacuum pump 5. After the temperature is heated to the raw material evaporation temperature or sublimation temperature by the program control heating module 6 outside the raw material evaporation chamber 1, the raw materials become gas. Under the action of the vacuum pump 5, the raw materials enter the raw material reaction chamber 2. After the temperature is heated to the raw material reaction temperature by the program control heating module 6 outside the raw material reaction chamber 2, the raw materials become free radicals, single chains or small molecules. Under the action of the vacuum pump 5, the raw materials enter the deposition chamber 3. The materials in the deposition chamber 3 react and deposit on the surface of the product to form a new combined film layer, achieving the purpose of material deposition. Then the excess materials are pumped into the waste collection chamber 4, and the material deposition is completed. During the entire deposition process, the valves at the self-cleaning raw material inlet 7 and the bypass pipeline 8 are opened, and the valves between the reaction chamber and the deposition chamber 3 and between the deposition chamber 3 and the waste collection chamber 4 are closed.

[0018] The self-cleaning function uses poly-p-xylylene as an example. After the material is deposited in the process, the material adheres to the inner walls of the material inlet cover 10, the raw material evaporation chamber 1 and the raw material reaction chamber 2. After multiple uses, the material will fall off and enter the product film surface with the next process, causing defects in the product. Therefore, the self-cleaning function can remove the deposition residues. The operation is as follows: open the vacuum pump 5, open the valves at the self-cleaning raw material inlet 7 and the bypass pipeline 8, and close the valves between the reaction chamber and the deposition chamber 3 and between the deposition chamber 3 and the waste collection chamber 4.

[0019] Example 1: The heating module 6 is simultaneously heated to 1000-1200℃, and oxygen is introduced from the self-cleaning raw material inlet 7.

[0020] Example 2: The heating module 6 is simultaneously heated to 800-1000℃, and oxygen and high-pressure pure water are introduced from the self-cleaning raw material inlet 7. The special treatment device 9 uses an ozone generator, and the oxygen and high-pressure pure water are converted into ozone under the action of the ozone generator.

[0021] Example 3: The heating module 6 is simultaneously heated to 500-800℃, and oxygen is introduced from the self-cleaning raw material inlet 7. The special treatment device 9 uses a gas plasma generator, and the oxygen and high-pressure pure water are converted into oxygen plasma under the action of the ozone generator.

[0022] After a period of time, the material adhering to the inner wall will react with oxygen at high temperature to generate carbon dioxide, water vapor and other products. These products enter the waste collection chamber 4 through the bypass pipeline 8, thereby achieving the purpose of maintaining and cleaning the internal residues without disassembling the device.

[0023] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. Based on the above description, one of ordinary skill in the art can make other different forms of changes or modifications on the application range, material system, and using method without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
