Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a canister capable of internal heating, and more specifically, to a canister capable of internal heating that generates gas by sublimating a solid. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, various types of source gases are used in semiconductor manufacturing processes, display processes, or LED manufacturing processes for producing semiconductor devices.

[0003] Conventional semiconductor manufacturing processes consist of forming circuit elements by applying multilayer thin films using semiconductor, conductor, and insulator materials and etching the necessary patterns onto each film. Among these processes, the formation of thin films using various materials is the most essential and general step. There are various methods for stacking thin films, among which Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) are representative.

[0004] A particularly widely used method is the CVD method, in which a wafer is placed in a process chamber and reaction gases, divided and contained in multiple canisters (bubblers), are injected through an injector to form an interlayer insulating film on the wafer using the material generated by the chemical reaction, planarize the film formed on the wafer, or form silicon oxide films, silicon nitride films, etc., to achieve other purposes.

[0005] The physical properties of thin films deposited by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) are highly sensitive to CVD process conditions, such as deposition pressure, deposition temperature, and deposition time. In particular, since the composition, density, adhesion, and deposition rate of the deposited film can change depending on variations in deposition pressure, controlling the deposition pressure is crucial in the CVD process.

[0006] In the CVD process, deposition pressure is directly affected by the flow rate of the source gas supplied from the canister. The canister is a device in the CVD apparatus that heats the source material of the thin film to be deposited, vaporizes or sublimates it into the source gas, and then supplies it to the deposition chamber. Therefore, to accurately control the deposition pressure in the CVD process, it is essential to precisely control the amount of vaporization or sublimation of the source material in the canister (i.e., the pressure of the source gas).

[0007] As described above, a heating element is provided in the canister to vaporize or sublimate the source material into a source gas.

[0008] However, conventional heating elements of canisters could not maintain a uniform temperature inside the canister, so the source gas that vaporized or sublimated within the canister condensed again, reducing the amount of vaporization or sublimation of the source material and causing a problem in that the source gas could not be smoothly supplied into the deposition chamber.

[0009] Korean Patent Application No. 10-2010-0083731 discloses a 'canister temperature control device'.

[0010] A brief overview of the prior art includes a jacket body that surrounds the outer surface of a canister and has a heat transfer medium circulating inside; a thermoelectric module that cools or heats the heat transfer medium by performing an endothermic or exothermic reaction; a circulation pump that circulates the heat transfer medium cooled or heated by the thermoelectric module into the jacket body; and a control unit that controls the thermoelectric module to regulate the temperature of the heat transfer medium and maintain the temperature of the canister at a constant level.

[0011] The jacket body has a structure in which a thermal pad, an insulating pad, and a cover are stacked in sequence, with one side in contact with the outer surface of the canister, and a circulation hose is installed inside the thermal pad, which has an inlet and an outlet and provides a path for the heat transfer medium to circulate.

[0012] Meanwhile, conventional technology generated gas by heating a solid contained within a canister and used a carrier gas (argon, helium, nitrogen) to move the gas; however, this resulted in increased costs, and since the gas and carrier gas were mixed, the carrier gas had to be removed in a subsequent process, which further increased costs. Additionally, there were limitations in sublimating large quantities of solid. Prior art literature

[0048] A canister capable of generating internal heat according to the present invention is,

[0049] In a canister in which a target solid is contained internally and sublimated by heating,

[0050] A container body (2) having a receiving space (20) formed inside, a cover (22) connected to the top so as to be openable and closable, and a bottom plate (24) formed on the bottom;

[0051] An internal receiver (4) composed of a shaft (42) vertically inserted into a container body (2) and a plurality of plates (3) coupled longitudinally to the outer surface of the shaft (42);

[0052] It is configured to include a heating means (6) formed in an internal receiver (4) to heat and sublimate a target solid to generate gas.

[0054] The above-mentioned target solid may be a solid precursor or a liquid precursor.

[0055] In the case of solid precursors, 'solid' includes forms of fine particles, such as powder.

[0056] The precursor may be a material comprising at least one of molybdenum, boron, phosphorus, copper, gallium, arsenic, ruthenium, indium, antimony, lanthanum, tantalum, iridium, decaborane (B10H14), hafnium tetrachloride (HfCl4), zirconium tetrachloride (ZrCl4), indium trichloride (InCl3), metal organic β-diketonate complex, cyclopentadienyl cycloheptatriethyl titanium (CpTiChT), aluminum trichloride (AlCl3), titanium iodide (TixIy), cyclooctatetraene cyclopentadienyl titanium, and tungsten chloride.

[0057] It should be noted that this is merely one example and is not necessarily limited to it.

[0059] The container body (2) is formed in a cylindrical shape, and after the internal receiving space (4) is inserted, a cover (22) is attached to the top to seal it.

[0060] A gas discharge outlet (23) is formed in the cover (22), a plurality of connection ports (24) are formed so that a pressure gauge and a thermometer are installed respectively, and a shaft mounting part (25) is formed to which the upper end of the shaft seal (42) of the internal receiver (4) is connected.

[0061] Power supply lines, air supply lines, etc. can be connected to the shaft mounting part (25).

[0063] The above internal receiver (4) consists of a shaft (42) that is vertically inserted into the interior of the container body (2) and a plurality of plates (3) mounted on the outer surface of the shaft (42).

[0064] Multiple plates (3) are mounted in the longitudinal direction on the outer surface of the shaft (42).

[0065] The plate (3) is made of a metal or non-metal material and has a semicircular shape as its basic form. Of course, the shape of the plate can be formed into various shapes as needed.

[0066] The plates (3) are formed as a pair symmetrically on both sides of the shaft (42).

[0067] Accordingly, multiple pairs of plates (3) are arranged in the longitudinal direction to form.

[0068] A pair of side plates (3) may be formed by being arranged at the same height or by being arranged at different heights.

[0070] Preferably, the plate (3) has a protective layer (W) formed on its surface that can withstand high heat and prevent contamination.

[0071] The plate (3) is formed by injecting a composition into an extrusion molding machine and then extruding it, based on 100 parts by weight of a metal material selected from stainless steel or a metal mixed with aluminum and magnesium, comprising 2 to 4 parts by weight of epoxy resin, 3 to 4 parts by weight of inorganic filler, 2 to 3 parts by weight of curing agent, and 3 to 5 parts by weight of silicone resin.

[0072] The inorganic filler is aluminum oxide. Aluminum oxide improves thermal conductivity and can ensure heat resistance and mechanical strength.

[0073] The curing agent may be selected from phenol novolak or aromatic amine, or a mixture thereof. The curing agent acts to stabilize the structure through a thermal curing reaction.

[0075] The protective film layer (W) is coated on the surface of the plate with a thickness of 0.5 to 2 mm and is made of a synthetic resin mixed with a photocatalyst.

[0076] The protective film layer is formed by mixing one or more materials selected from titanium oxide, zinc oxide, and aluminum oxide into a resin base that is a mixture of polyimide resin and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

[0077] According to one example, it is made by mixing 5 to 10 parts by weight of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), 2 to 4 parts by weight of titanium oxide, 2 to 4 parts by weight of zinc oxide, and 2 to 4 parts by weight of aluminum oxide, based on 100 parts by weight of polyimide resin.

[0078] [Experimental Example]

[0079] Hereinafter, experiments were conducted by comparing Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention with comparative examples. However, the following examples are merely illustrative of the present invention, and the content of the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0080] [Example 1]

[0081] A composition comprising 2 parts by weight of epoxy resin, 3 parts by weight of inorganic filler, 2 parts by weight of curing agent, and 3 parts by weight of silicone resin, based on 100 parts by weight of stainless steel, is injected into an extrusion molding machine and then extruded to produce a plate (3).

[0082] A protective film layer (W) is formed on the surface of the above-manufactured plate (3).

[0083] The protective film layer (W) is formed by mixing 5 parts by weight of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) based on 100 parts by weight of polyimide resin, and then mixing 2 parts by weight of titanium oxide, 2 parts by weight of zinc oxide, and 2 parts by weight of aluminum oxide to obtain a composition, which is then coated on the surface of the plate (3) to a thickness of 0.5 mm.

[0084] [Example 2]

[0085] A composition comprising 3 parts by weight of epoxy resin, 3 parts by weight of inorganic filler, 3 parts by weight of curing agent, and 4 parts by weight of silicone resin is mixed with 100 parts by weight of a metal material mixed with aluminum and magnesium, and then injected into an extrusion molding machine and extruded to produce a plate (3).

[0086] A protective film layer (W) is formed as a coating on the surface of the plate.

[0087] The protective film layer (W) is obtained by mixing 7 parts by weight of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) based on 100 parts by weight of polyimide resin, and then mixing 3 parts by weight of titanium oxide, 3 parts by weight of zinc oxide, and 3 parts by weight of aluminum oxide, and then coating the resulting composition on the surface of the plate (3) to a thickness of 1.0 mm.

[0088] [Example 3]

[0089] A protective film layer (W) is formed on the surface of the plate (3).

[0090] A composition comprising 4 parts by weight of epoxy resin, 4 parts by weight of inorganic filler, 3 parts by weight of curing agent, and 5 parts by weight of silicone resin is mixed based on 100 parts by weight of a metal material consisting of 70 wt% stainless steel and 30 wt% aluminum and magnesium, and then injected into an extrusion molding machine to extrude a plate (3).

[0091] A protective film layer (W) is formed on the surface of the plate (3).

[0092] The protective film layer (W) is obtained by mixing 10 parts by weight of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) based on 100 parts by weight of polyimide resin, and then mixing 4 parts by weight of titanium oxide, 4 parts by weight of zinc oxide, and 4 parts by weight of aluminum oxide, and then coating the resulting composition onto the surface of the plate (3) to a thickness of 2.0 mm.

[0093] [Comparative Example]

[0094] Stainless steel plates available on the market.

[0096] After loading the internal receiver (4) equipped with the plate (3) manufactured according to Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention and the plate according to the comparative example into the container body (2), a sublimation process was performed for 1 hour each day for 30 days.

[0097] Afterward, the deformation of the plate (3) was visually identified, and the degree of deformation and cleaning power were evaluated on a 5-point scale (the less wear or deformation, the better, and this was rated as a maximum of 5 points), and the results were shown in Table 1.

[0098] Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Comparative example Degree of deformation 4.1 4.3 4.9 2.3 Cleaning power 4.2 4.5 4.8 3.1

[0099] As a result of the above experiment, it was found that the plate (3) according to Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention had minimal deformation and excellent cleaning power.

[0101] Meanwhile, the shaft (42) has a passage (420) formed inside through which a power line (T) is inserted. A through hole (422) is formed on the outer surface of the shaft (42) that leads to the plate (3).

[0102] A power line (T) is inserted and wired through the passage (420), and the power line (T) is wired through the through hole (422) and connected to the plate (3) so that power is supplied to the heating means (6).

[0103] The heating means (6) is formed on the plate (3) and connected to the power line (T), so that it can generate heat by power supply.

[0104] According to one example, the heating means (6) may be a planar heating element (62) formed on the surface of the plate (3).

[0105] The planar heating element (62) may be a conductive film based on carbon nanotubes (CNT).

[0106] Carbon nanotube (CNT) films are very thin films composed of a two-dimensional carbon nanotube network.

[0107] Carbon tubes usually exhibit a randomly arranged pattern, but they can be arranged in a regular pattern.

[0108] Carbon nanotube (CNT) films are ultrathin sheets ranging from 1 nm to 100 nm.

[0110] Meanwhile, according to another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the plate (3) has a heating element insertion groove (32) formed on its outer surface into which a planar heating element (62) is inserted.

[0111] On one side of the outer surface of the plate (3), a recessed portion (33) is formed that is concavely recessed corresponding to the outer circumference of the shaft (42).

[0112] Accordingly, the outer surface of the shaft (42) may include a locking groove (424) that is fitted complementarily to the recessed portion (33), and a locking portion (46) formed in the locking groove (424) to lock the recessed portion (33) of the plate (3).

[0113] The height of the recess (33) of the plate (3) is equal to the inner height of the catch groove (424), or the catch groove (424) is formed slightly larger so that the recess (33) of the plate (3) can be inserted into the catch groove (424) and fitted together.

[0114] Accordingly, the recess (33) of the plate (3) is fitted into the locking groove (424) of the shaft (42), and the locking part (46) is operated to fix the plate (3).

[0115] According to one example,

[0116] Referring to FIG. 7, the locking part (46) is

[0117] A protruding fitting pin (462) that is inserted into an insertion hole (4240) formed around the locking groove (424) of the shaft (42), and

[0118] A spring (464) inserted into an insertion hole (4240) to elastically support the insertion pin (462) and

[0119] It is configured to include a pin hole (466) formed on the inner circumference of the recess (33) into which a fitting pin (462) is inserted.

[0120] Therefore, after the recessed portion (33) is inserted into the catch groove portion (424), the fitting pin (462) can be protruded and inserted into the pin hole (466) of the recessed portion (33) to be fixed.

[0121] The insertion pin (462) is formed to correspond to the upper and lower portions of the recess (33), respectively.

[0122] The insertion pin (462) has a hemispherical end and a spring (464) is attached to its outer surface, so when the recessed part (33) is inserted, the insertion pin (462) is pulled inward, and when it aligns with the pin hole (466), the insertion pin (462) protrudes and is inserted, thereby creating a locking state.

[0123] Conversely, if the plate (3) is pulled outward, the insertion pin (462) is inserted, and the plate (3) can be separated from the shaft (42).

[0125] Meanwhile, the locking part (46) includes a position setting part (5) that moves in the longitudinal direction of the shaft (42) to adjust the position of the plate (3).

[0126] Referring to FIG. 8, the position setting unit (5) is

[0127] A rail groove (52) formed in a longitudinal direction with a certain length on the outer surface of the shaft (42), and

[0128] It is configured to include a bed (54) that is fitted into and joined to the rail groove (52) and has a spring (464) and a fitting pin (462) combined therein.

[0129] Therefore, the bed (54) can be moved up and down along the rail groove (52), and the position can be set by moving the plate (3), to which the fitting pin (462) of the bed (54) is attached, up and down along the outer surface of the shaft (42).

[0130] A first rack gear (55) is formed on the rear side of the bed (54), and a second rack gear (58) is formed on the inner circumference of the rail groove (52) to be engaged with it.

[0131] The first rack gear (55) is fitted into an insertion groove (540) formed on the rear side of the bed (54), and a spring (542) is coupled to the insertion groove (540) so that the first rack gear (55) is elastically supported.

[0132] By moving the bed (54) in the up and down direction, the first rack gear (55) can be temporarily fixed while moving along the second rack gear (58).

[0133] By this position setting, the gap between the upper plate (3) and the lower plate (3) can be adjusted, and an appropriate gap can be set to suit the amount of gas being sublimated.

[0135] It may include a gas transport means (7) formed inside the above container body (2) and guiding the sublimated gas to rise.

[0136] Referring to FIG. 8, the gas transport means (7) is

[0137] A gas supply unit (72) that injects air and passes through the internal passage (420) of the shaft (42), and

[0138] A plurality of gas injection nozzles (74) formed on the outer surface of the shaft (42), and

[0139] A gas transfer path (75) formed inside the plate (3), a gas discharge hole (76) formed on the upper surface of the plate (3) and communicating with the gas transfer path (75), and an injection hole (77) formed at the end of the gas transfer path (75) are formed to communicate with the through hole (422) of the shaft (42), so that air injected from the gas supply unit (72) is sprayed into the gas discharge hole (76) and sprayed upward.

[0140] The gas can be argon, helium, or nitrogen, and is used to empty the container by rapidly releasing residual gas to the outside after sublimation.

[0142] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings, the present invention is not necessarily limited to these embodiments and may be modified in various ways within the scope of the technical spirit of the present invention. Accordingly, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are intended to explain, not limit, the technical spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the technical spirit of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments.
