Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of MPCVD equipment technology, specifically to a cooling substrate stage mechanism for MPCVD equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) is a widely used technique for preparing high-quality thin film materials. Temperature control of the substrate is crucial during MPCVD, as it directly affects the film growth rate, crystal quality, and uniformity. Traditional substrate cooling stages typically employ a fixed water flow rate. This method cannot adjust the cooling intensity according to the substrate's cooling requirements, resulting in imprecise substrate temperature control and consequently impacting substrate quality and production efficiency. Therefore, we propose a substrate cooling stage mechanism for MPCVD equipment. Utility Model Content

A drain pipe is fixed inside the drain outlet, and a third solenoid valve is installed on the circumferential surface of the drain pipe. An adsorption component is installed on the end face of the substrate stage.
[0006] Water injection assembly: includes a connecting plate, a storage tank, a first temperature sensor, a water pump, a water injection pipe, and a first solenoid valve. The connecting plate is fixed to the lower end of the substrate stage, and the storage tank is fixed to the lower side of the connecting plate. The first temperature sensor is installed inside the storage tank, and the water pump is installed inside the storage tank. The water injection pipe is fixed inside the outlet of the water pump. A water injection groove is opened in the middle of the lower end of the substrate stage, and the upper end of the water injection pipe is fixed inside the water injection groove. All connecting grooves are connected to the water injection groove. The first solenoid valve is installed on the circumference of the water injection pipe.

The substrate is adsorbed by setting up the adsorption assembly.
[0009] Furthermore, the air extraction assembly includes an air pump, an air extraction pipe, an exhaust pipe, and a second solenoid valve. An air pump is installed on the side of the storage box.

After detection, the external PLC controller will automatically control the water output of the first solenoid valve according to the detected temperature. In this way, the quality of the substrate can be effectively improved. Attached Figure Description

After evacuation, all the suction cups 61 can adsorb and fix the substrate. After fixing, the water pump 54 is started to inject water into the interior of the substrate stage 1. After injection, the water will enter the interior of all the annular guide grooves 2 along the evenly distributed connecting grooves 3. In this way, the substrate can be cooled. During the cooling process, all the second temperature sensors 12 can detect the temperature of the substrate. After detection, the external PLC controller will... The water output of the first solenoid valve 56 is automatically controlled based on the detected temperature, which can effectively improve the quality of the substrate. During the cooling process, the third solenoid valve 11 can be opened to re-inject water into the storage tank 52 through the drain pipe 4. After entering, the first temperature sensor 53 located inside the storage tank 52 will detect the water temperature. When the temperature is too high, the external PLC controller will automatically turn on the semiconductor cooler 81 and all the cooling fans 83. After the semiconductor cooler 81 is turned on, it cools the water inside the storage tank 52, which facilitates subsequent use.
