Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-purity chlorine trifluoride storage technology, specifically to a stable storage container for high-purity chlorine trifluoride that prevents decomposition. Background Technology

[0002] Chlorine trifluoride is a strong oxidizing agent with high chemical reactivity and flammability. It can react explosively with water and organic compounds, and is mainly used in the electronics industry, nuclear uranium enrichment, and military applications. High-purity chlorine trifluoride is primarily used for cleaning CVD chambers and their piping in semiconductor, LCD, solar energy, and LED industries, offering significant advantages in cleaning quality, efficiency, and greenhouse gas reduction. Unlike other fluorinated gases used for cleaning (such as NF3, C2F6, and CF4), chlorine trifluoride reacts with semiconductor materials at room temperature without requiring heating of the cleaning area. Therefore, using chlorine trifluoride eliminates the need for heating components and steps, as well as the need for plasma plasma dissociation equipment to produce fluorine gas; chlorine trifluoride can be used directly to clean CVD chambers at room temperature. Furthermore, chlorine trifluoride cleaning avoids the high-energy ion bombardment process found in plasma during chemical etching, minimizing damage to the equipment. Meanwhile, chlorine trifluoride cleaning is an on-site cleaning process, eliminating the need to disassemble equipment to clean dead corners in the equipment and pipelines. This reduces equipment downtime, lowers the amount of particulate impurities, and minimizes operator exposure time. High-purity chlorine trifluoride, used as a cleaning gas in CVD chambers, offers significant advantages in cleaning quality, efficiency, and reduction of the greenhouse effect.

[0003] Currently, some high-purity chlorine trifluoride anti-decomposition stable storage containers on the market include, for example, a utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN214622507U that discloses an electronic-grade chlorine trifluoride collection device. This device cools down the chlorine trifluoride by arranging condensation components in the outer jacket. However, the heat exchange cooling path of this method is relatively long and needs to pass through the inner tank wall, resulting in an unsatisfactory cooling effect.

[0004] Therefore, we proposed a high-purity chlorine trifluoride anti-decomposition and stable storage container to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that some existing high-purity chlorine trifluoride anti-decomposition stable storage containers use a device that arranges condensing components in the outer jacket for cooling. However, this method has a long heat exchange cooling path and needs to pass through the inner tank wall, resulting in an unsatisfactory cooling effect.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a high-purity chlorine trifluoride anti-decomposition and stable storage container, comprising: a storage tank body, wherein the storage tank body includes an outer tank and an inner tank, and the inner tank is disposed inside the outer tank;

[0007] A cooling pipe is installed inside the inner tank, with both ends passing through the outer and inner tanks respectively, located on the outside of the storage tank body. The cooling pipe is used for the flow of low-temperature refrigerant.

[0008] The storage tank body is provided with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe at the top and bottom respectively, and both the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are connected to the inner tank body;

[0009] The storage tank body is equipped with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, both of which are connected to the outer tank body. Through the cooperation of the inlet and outlet pipes, inert gas flows between the outer and inner tank bodies. A chlorine trifluoride gas detector is installed on the outlet pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, both the inner surface of the outer tank and the outer surface of the inner tank are provided with heat insulation pads.

[0011] Furthermore, the portion of the cooling pipe located inside the inner tank is configured as a spiral structure.

[0012] Furthermore, both the inner tank and the cooling pipe are made of Hastelloy, and the inner surface of the inner tank is provided with a chlorine trifluoride passivation layer and a fluorine passivation layer, and the outer surface of the portion of the cooling pipe located inside the inner tank is also provided with a chlorine trifluoride passivation layer and a fluorine passivation layer.

[0013] Furthermore, multiple support columns are provided between the outer tank and the inner tank.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting a spiral cooling pipe inside the inner tank, compared with arranging the condensation components in the outer jacket, the heat exchange cooling path is shortened, and it does not need to pass through the inner tank wall, thus improving the cooling effect. Moreover, setting the cooling pipe as a spiral structure can make the cooling more uniform. Attached Figure Description
