[0019] ​The utility model discloses a pretreatment device before the detection of large size epitaxial silicon wafer, and the technical scheme of the related patent mentioned in background art is same, all the ozone prepared by ozone generator is heated to about 80 DEG C through constant temperature water container 1, then is sprayed on the surface of epitaxial silicon wafer through spraying device and carries out passivation, realizes passivation pretreatment process before the conductivity detection of epitaxial silicon wafer, and replaces hydrogen peroxide that is more harmful to personnel health. Different from the technical scheme, the utility model uses vertical tank as constant temperature water container 1, and makes ozone have longer moving stroke and time in constant temperature water container 1, so that it can be heated more fully by hot water in constant temperature water container 1, and then meet large-scale industrial application.

[0020] As Figure 1 And Figure 2 The utility model discloses a constant temperature water container 1 is cylindrical, has greater longitudinal space in the inside to accommodate water body 9, is favorable to prolong the time and stroke of ozone from bottom to top through water body 9, thereby obtains more stable heating effect. The top of constant temperature water container 1 is provided with a guide cone section, and the guide cone section is used for guiding the ozone escaping from water body 9 in constant temperature water container 1 towards the top, so that the ozone enters the spraying device (not shown in the figure) through the exhaust pipeline 10 at the top of the guide cone section.

[0021] The bottom center position of constant temperature water container 1 is inserted with a gas inlet main pipe 4. The lower end of gas inlet main pipe 4 is located outside constant temperature water container 1, and is connected with ozone generator (not shown in the figure) through gas inlet pipeline 5. The upper end of gas inlet main pipe 4 is located in constant temperature water container 1 and is connected with four gas inlet branch pipes 6. The four gas inlet branch pipes 6 are all distributed along the horizontal direction, and a plurality of gas injection nozzles 7 are arranged on any gas inlet branch pipe 6. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, all the gas injection nozzles 7 are distributed on the side of the corresponding gas inlet branch pipe 6 along the same ring direction, so that the ozone can obtain a certain initial speed in the horizontal direction after being sprayed out through each gas injection nozzle 7, and the ozone can pass through water body 9 in constant temperature water container 1 in a spiral ascending manner by cooperating with the buoyancy of ozone in water body 9. Thus, compared with the mode that the ozone directly passes through water body 9 along the vertical direction upward in the background art, the utility model can greatly increase the stroke and time of ozone passing through water body 9, so that the ozone can obtain more stable heating effect.

[0022] Further, the plurality of air injection nozzles 7 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the air inlet branch pipe 6, the radius of the spiral rising track of the ozone injected by the air injection nozzles 7 far from the air inlet main pipe is larger, and the radius of the spiral rising track of the ozone injected by the air injection nozzles 7 close to the air inlet main pipe is relatively smaller, so that the spiral rising tracks of the ozone are formed, the water body 9 in the constant-temperature water container 1 can be contacted with the ozone at the corresponding position in the radial direction, and then the heat energy in the water body 9 is fully utilized.

[0023] In order to realize the heat preservation of the water body 9, the utility model discloses a heating coil 3 in the constant-temperature water container 1, the constant-temperature water container 1 is equipped with the heating coil 3, the lower end of the heating coil 3 is connected with the water inlet pipe 8 extending out of the constant-temperature water container 1, and the upper end of the heating coil 3 is connected with the water outlet pipe 2 extending out of the constant-temperature water container 1. The water inlet pipe 8 and the water outlet pipe 2 are connected to the same hot water bag and realize water circulation through the water pump. In the embodiment, the radius of the heating coil 3 is smaller than the length of the air inlet branch pipe 6, so that the heating coil 3 is located at the middle position of the constant-temperature water container 1 in the radial direction, the water body 9 in the constant-temperature water container 1 is uniformly heated, and the water body 9 keeps stable temperature.
