Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of etching liquid production technology, specifically an etching device for integrated circuit production. Background Technology

[0002] The etching solution used in integrated circuit production needs to be thoroughly mixed with the diluent. This dilution and mixing process is carried out in a reaction vessel. Since the diluent is sprayed from above, if a commonly used stirring shaft or horizontal stirring blade is used for stirring, it is difficult for the stock solution at the bottom to be fully mixed with the diluent at the top, resulting in a long mixing time and poor effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this invention provides an etching device for integrated circuit manufacturing. This invention features a lifting and mixing component with flow holes and a material distribution block, which effectively agitates the raw materials at the upper and lower positions, resulting in more thorough material distribution and better mixing of the original solution and diluent at the bottom.

[0004] To achieve the above technical objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an etching device for integrated circuit production, comprising a reactor for producing high-performance titanium-silicon etching solution for integrated circuits, a drive motor is provided at the top of the reactor, the drive motor drives a lead screw connected to the reactor, the lead screw extends into the reactor and is hinged to the bottom of the reactor; the lead screw is threadedly connected to a lifting and mixing component, the lifting and mixing component has multiple flow holes for liquid to pass through, and multiple distribution blocks are provided for dispersing the liquid, the drive motor drives the lead screw to rotate to drive the lifting and mixing component to rise and fall, so that the lifting and mixing component can rise and fall along the lead screw to stir and tumble the original etching solution and the diluent.

[0005] The lifting and mixing component includes a circular plate with a threaded hole at its center for threaded connection with the lead screw; the panel on the circular plate is a through hole.

[0006] The material distribution blocks and the liquid flow holes are arranged alternately.

[0007] The material distribution block is a multi-faceted cone, the bottom surface of which is fixed to the circular plate, and the cone apex of which faces upward.

[0008] The multiple material distribution blocks have the same height but different bottom surfaces.

[0009] The bottom surfaces of the multiple material distribution blocks gradually decrease in size from the outside to the inside.

[0010] A notch is formed on the outer periphery of the circular plate.

[0011] The reactor is equipped with an upper bearing and a lower bearing. The top end of the lead screw is connected to the drive motor via a coupling. The upper and lower bearings are connected to the upper and lower parts of the lead screw, respectively. The reactor is also equipped with a bracket for mounting the drive motor.

[0012] The top of the reactor is also a spraying device, including a spray pipe and a nozzle. The spray pipe is also equipped with a connecting pipe for connecting to a diluent tank.

[0013] In summary, this utility model achieves the following technical effects:

[0014] This invention relates to a stirring device for circuit etching fluid used in integrated circuits. Specifically, a lifting and mixing component is installed inside the reaction vessel. This component, in conjunction with a lead screw, can move up and down. During this up-and-down movement, it can agitate the mixed materials. The mixed materials can flow through multiple flow holes, accelerating the stirring and mixing effect. The material distribution block can break up and disperse the materials that are about to come into contact with the lifting and mixing component, thus playing a role in stirring and mixing. The lifting and mixing component can stir up and down, allowing the materials at different positions to tumble better, thereby improving the mixing effect. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Example:

[0026] Figure 1This is an etching device for integrated circuit manufacturing, comprising a reactor 1 for producing a high-performance titanium-silicon etching solution for integrated circuits. A drive motor 3 is mounted on the top of the reactor 1, and the drive motor 3 drives a lead screw 2 connected to the reactor 1. The lead screw 2 extends into the reactor 1 and is hinged to the bottom of the reactor 1. A lifting and mixing component 4 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 2. The lifting and mixing component 4 has multiple flow holes 403 for liquid passage and multiple distribution blocks 404 for dispersing the liquid. The drive motor 3 drives the lead screw 2 to rotate, thereby driving the lifting and mixing component 4 to rise and fall. Thus, the lifting and mixing component 4 can rise and fall along the lead screw 2, thereby agitating and tumbling the original etching solution and the diluent.

[0027] This invention relates to a stirring device for a high-performance titanium-silicon etching solution for integrated circuits. Specifically, a lifting and mixing component 4 is installed inside the reactor. This component, in conjunction with a lead screw, can move up and down. During this up-and-down movement, it can agitate the raw materials. The raw materials can flow through multiple flow holes 403, accelerating the stirring and mixing effect. The material distribution block can break up and disperse the raw materials that are about to come into contact with the lifting and mixing component 4, thus playing a role in stirring and mixing. The lifting and mixing component can stir up and down, allowing the raw materials at the upper and lower positions to tumble better, thereby improving the mixing effect.

[0028] Figure 2 This is a side view of the lifting and mixing component. Figure 3 This is a 3D schematic diagram of the lifting and mixing components. Figure 4 This is a top view of the lifting mixing component 4, which includes a circular plate 401. A threaded hole 402 is opened in the center of the circular plate 401 for threaded connection with the lead screw 2. The panel opened on the circular plate 401 is in the form of a through hole.

[0029] This utility model features a circular plate structure that matches the cylindrical structure of a reactor. It utilizes threaded holes and lead screws to achieve lifting motion and allows the mixed raw materials to flow through the liquid outlet, which disperses the mixed raw materials and improves the mixing effect.

[0030] The material distribution block 404 and the liquid flow hole 403 are arranged alternately. After the material distribution block 404 disperses the raw material, it flows along the surface of the material distribution block into the nearby liquid flow hole, thereby achieving a better dispersion effect.

[0031] In this embodiment, the material distribution block 404 is a multi-faceted pyramid, the bottom surface of which is fixed to the circular plate 401, and the apex of which faces upward. Specifically, this embodiment is a quadrangular pyramid with a square bottom surface, and the apex is capable of dispersing the raw materials.

[0032] The material distribution blocks 404 have the same height but different bottom surfaces.

[0033] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the material distribution block 404 gradually decreases in size from the outside to the inside, which can cooperate with the flow hole to disperse the raw material.

[0034] A notch 405 is provided on the outer periphery of the circular plate 401 so that the raw material on the outer periphery of the circular plate can pass through smoothly.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the reactor 1 is equipped with an upper bearing 7 and a lower bearing 8. The top end of the lead screw 2 is connected to the drive motor 3 through a coupling 6. The upper part and the bottom of the lead screw 2 are respectively connected to the upper bearing 7 and the lower bearing 8. The reactor 1 is also equipped with a bracket 5 for mounting the drive motor 3.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the top of the reactor 1 is also a spraying device 9, including a spray pipe 901 and a nozzle 902. The spray pipe 901 is also provided with a connecting pipe 903 for connecting to the diluent tank.

[0037] The reactor is pre-filled with the original corrosive solution. During the lifting of the circular plate, the diluent is sprayed using a nozzle. The circular plate agitates the raw material, causing the liquid to tumble and mix better with the diluent.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
