TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of static electricity neutralization, especially relate to a pole device for static electricity eliminator. BACKGROUND
[0002] Clean room, also known as clean room or dust-free room, refers to an environment with low pollution level. Its pollution sources mainly include dust, air-borne microorganisms, suspended particles and chemical volatile gases. The definition of clean room is to exclude the dust particles and other pollutants in the air within the space range to achieve a relatively clean environment.
[0003] Clean room is widely used in industries that are particularly sensitive to environmental pollution, for example, in semiconductor production, the requirements for indoor temperature and humidity and cleanliness of clean room are particularly strict, and must be controlled within a certain required range to avoid affecting the production process.
[0004] Indoor ionization system (also known as room ionization system or space ionization system) is a static electricity elimination device for eliminating static electricity in clean room and maintaining static electricity balance in clean room.
[0005] The current mainstream space ionization system (or space ionization product, also known as space static electricity elimination device) has a bar type structure, uses a direct current high voltage power supply, uses a single crystal silicon discharge electrode (pin), and generates a large number of positive and negative air ions by alternately applying positive and negative direct current high voltage to positive and negative electrode pins to neutralize local unbalanced static electricity charges in clean room, achieve efficient and reliable maintenance of space static electricity balance, reduce static adsorption of particles in space, make it easy for contaminated particles to be filtered out by air conditioning purification system, and reduce particle pollution in space.
[0006] The single crystal silicon discharge electrode (pin) mentioned above is used as a corona discharge electrode of the space static electricity elimination device because the electrode made of non-metallic material is completely compatible with silicon wafer / silicon wafer in terms of material to ensure that there is no metal pollution problem affecting the chip circuit.
[0007] The purity and high thermal conductivity of the single crystal silicon discharge electrode, combined with pulse direct current discharge technology, enable the space static electricity elimination device to maintain optimal cleaning performance to meet ISO 5 level (which refers to the level standard of air cleanliness in clean room, which means that the number of particles greater than or equal to 0.5 microns per cubic meter of air in the clean room must be less than 3520, which is equivalent to the 100 level standard of FED 209E) and higher cleanliness requirements.
[0008] Space static elimination device (also known as space ionizer), in order to realize its specific function, usually its rod body part for space static elimination is installed below fan filter unit (FFU, Fan Filter Unit), and utilizes laminar flow to transport positive and negative ions from the roof to the raised floor, and covers the entire clean room.
[0009] Electrode rod device is an important part of space ionizer, and is a discharge device for realizing ionization function. The length of the electrode rod is matched and set according to the height of the clean room roof, and therefore the reliability of the structure directly affects the electric elimination performance of the space ionizer.
[0010] The existing electrode rod device, as shown in Figure 1-1 、 Figure 1-2 、 Figure 1-3 , mainly includes: silicon (Si) electrode needle a, electrode plug b, discharge electrode protection seat c, insulating round sleeve d, high-voltage wire e, supporting round sleeve f, high-voltage socket g, high-voltage plug h, and threaded fixing hole i.
[0011] Among them, the insulating round sleeve d is coaxially sleeved in the supporting round sleeve f, and the high-voltage wire e is arranged in the insulating round sleeve d; the upper end of the high-voltage wire e is electrically connected with the high-voltage plug h arranged in the high-voltage socket g, and the lower end of the high-voltage wire e is electrically connected with the silicon (Si) electrode needle a through the electrode plug b arranged in the discharge electrode protection seat c; or in other words, the electrode plug b and the high-voltage plug h are electrically connected through the high-voltage wire e.
[0012] The discharge electrode protection seat c is integrally connected with the high-voltage socket g through the supporting round sleeve f.
[0013] In order to prevent relative displacement between the supporting round sleeve f and the discharge electrode protection seat c, a metal internal hexagonal bolt is used to fix them together through the threaded fixing hole i on the discharge electrode protection seat c.
[0014] However, it is found in actual use that the prior art has the following technical defects:
[0015] 1) The metal internal hexagonal bolt is used to fix the supporting round sleeve f and the discharge electrode protection seat c through the threaded fixing hole i on the discharge electrode protection seat c; this will cause the discharge electrode protection seat c to be asymmetrically and unevenly stressed, and easily lead to fragmentation of the silicon electrode needle.
[0016] 2) The high-voltage wire e is used to realize electrical connection between the electrode plug b and the high-voltage plug h by welding; this is inconvenient for process operation and has poor reliability.
[0017] 3) Since the metal internal hexagonal bolt is used to fix the discharge electrode protection seat, two problems will be caused:
[0018] First, metal pollution: because the metal hexagonal bolt is close to the silicon discharge electrode, and the discharge voltage of the space ion bar silicon discharge electrode is high, the ions generated by the corona discharge will bombard the metal hexagonal bolt exposed on the surface, which will cause sputtering of metal particles over a long period of time; and the ozone, strong oxidizing free radicals generated during the discharge process will also cause metal corrosion and oxidation reaction of the metal hexagonal bolt, resulting in surface metal corrosion, thereby exacerbating the outbreak of pollution particles and causing harm to the safe production of wafers.
[0019] Second, the surface of the metal hexagonal bolt in the insulating state will form a charge aggregation, generating a large static voltage, thereby causing distortion of the electric field near the discharge electrode, adversely affecting the stability of the discharge and the directional motion of the ions, and thereby affecting the electricity elimination performance of the space ion bar.
[0020] How to avoid metal pollution to the use environment while ensuring the electricity elimination performance of the space ion bar is a technical problem that needs to be solved in actual use. Practical new type content
