Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trace phosphine analysis technology, specifically to a trace phosphine detection device for the synthesis and purification process of silane. Background Technology

[0002] Diethylsilane is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Si₂H₆. At room temperature and pressure, it is a colorless, transparent, toxic gas with an unpleasant, pungent odor. At its own vapor pressure, diethylsilane is a colorless, transparent liquid. It possesses chemical properties similar to silane, but its reactivity is stronger, and it can spontaneously combust in air. It is mainly used in solar cells, photosensitive rollers, amorphous silicon films, epitaxial growth, oxide films, nitride films, and chemical vapor deposition. Phosphine is produced during the preparation of diethylsilane.

[0003] Phosphine is a highly toxic gas that strongly irritates the respiratory system, causing symptoms such as coughing and difficulty breathing upon inhalation. It also damages the cardiovascular system, affecting heart function and leading to arrhythmias. Furthermore, phosphine is flammable and can form explosive mixtures with air, easily igniting and exploding, causing fires and other serious accidents, resulting in casualties and property damage. Current methods for detecting trace amounts of phosphine suffer from slow detection speed and low accuracy. Utility Model Content

A second gas tube is connected at one end to the third interface, and a chromatographic column and a DID helium ionization detector are installed on the second gas tube, with the chromatographic column positioned between the third interface and the DID helium ionization detector.

[0007] Furthermore, both the first and second tracheas are made of 316L stainless steel.

[0008] Furthermore, each valve in the six-way valve is a passivated purge type valve.

[0009] Furthermore, the valve plane of the six-way valve remains in high-purity helium gas.

[0010] Furthermore, the volume of the metering tube is 0.1 ml.

[0011] Furthermore, the chromatographic column is 50 meters long and has an inner diameter of 1 / 16 inch.

[0012] Furthermore, the chromatographic column is a PLOT-Q column.

[0013] Furthermore, the chromatographic column is equipped with a capillary column with an inner diameter of 0.25 mm and a stationary phase thickness of 0.25 μm.

[0015] The detection device of this application can quickly detect changes in impurity concentration when analyzing trace amounts of phosphine, and can rapidly measure the equilibrium (steady-state) analytical value. It also has the advantages of accurate quantification, low detection limit and short analysis cycle.

[0016] It should be understood that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and illustrative only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-2 A trace phosphine detection device for the synthesis and purification process of silane includes a six-way valve 100. The six-way valve 100 has a first port 101, a second port 102, a third port 103, a fourth port 104, a fifth port 105, and a sixth port 106 arranged circumferentially and at equal intervals. The second port 102 is a carrier gas inlet, the fifth port 105 is a sample inlet, and the sixth port 106 is a vent. A first gas pipe 501 is connected at both ends to the first port 101 and the fourth port 104, respectively, and a quantitative tube 201 is installed on the first gas pipe 501. A second gas pipe 502 is connected at one end to the third port 103, and a chromatographic column 301 and a DID helium ionization detector 401 are installed on the second gas pipe, with the chromatographic column 301 positioned between the third port 103 and the DID helium ionization detector 401. The sixth port 106 is connected to an external gas storage device to collect waste gas during the detection process.

[0030] Furthermore, both the first air pipe 501 and the second air pipe 502 are made of 316L stainless steel to improve weldability and resistance to intergranular corrosion. The 316L stainless steel is also treated with an electrolytic polishing process to enhance the smoothness of the surfaces of the first air pipe 501 and the second air pipe 502.

[0031] Furthermore, each valve in the six-way valve 100 is a passivated purge type valve.

[0032] Furthermore, the valve plane of the six-way valve 100 is kept in high-purity helium gas. The valve plane is a key structural component of the six-way valve 100; it is the planar area where the various channels (typically corresponding to the six ports) converge. A continuous flow of high-purity helium gas surrounds the valve plane in the operating environment of the six-way valve 100 to prevent oxygen, moisture, and other impurities from the outside air from contacting the valve plane, thereby improving valve performance and the accuracy of analytical results.

[0033] Furthermore, the volume of the metering tube 201 is 0.1 ml.

[0034] Furthermore, the chromatographic column 301 is 50 meters long and has an inner diameter of 1 / 16 inch.

[0035] Furthermore, the chromatographic column 301 is a PLOT-Q column. The PLOT-Q column is a bonded polystyrene-divinylbenzene chromatographic column 301, which can effectively separate C1 to C3 isomers and alkanes up to C12, and can also separate ethane, ethylene, and acetylene.

[0036] Furthermore, the chromatographic column 301 is equipped with a capillary column with an inner diameter of 0.25 mm and a stationary phase thickness of 0.25 μm.

[0037] Operating steps:

[0038] S1: Switch the valve to connect the second port 102 and the third port 103, the fourth port 104 and the fifth port 105, and the sixth port 106 and the first port 101 (as shown in the attached diagram). Figure 1 As shown), high-purity silane is introduced through the fifth port 105. The high-purity silane replaces the metering tube 201 through the first gas tube 501 at a flow rate of 0.1 MPa and 300 mL / min and is maintained for 1 min.

[0039] S2: Switch the valves to connect the first port 101 and the second port 102; connect the third port 103 and the fourth port 104; connect the fifth port 105 and the sixth port 106 (as shown in the attached diagram). Figure 2 (As shown); Carrier gas is introduced through the second port 102. The carrier gas, through the first gas tube 501, sends the high-purity silane in the quantitative tube 201 into the chromatographic column 301 on the second gas tube 502 via the third port 103 on the six-way valve 100 for separation, so that impurities such as phosphine can enter the DID helium ionization detector 401 of the chromatograph for quantitative analysis. The relevant parameters are set as follows: carrier gas pressure 0.6 MPa, driving gas pressure 0.5 MPa, carrier gas flow rate 30 mL / min; column temperature of chromatographic column 301 80℃, and temperature of DID helium ionization detector 401 120℃.

[0040] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
