Description
Coating equipment Technical Field The application relates to the field of semiconductor or photovoltaic material processing, in particular to a film plating device. Background The special gas is introduced to react, which is a common technological process in many processing and manufacturing industries, namely special gas enters the cavity according to a certain air inlet route under a certain condition, and participates in the technological reaction so as to meet the processing requirements, and different production processes have different requirements on parameters such as the air inlet route of the special gas. Taking a solar cell panel manufacturing process as an example, the uniformity of the distribution of the special gas on the surface of the silicon wafer in the film plating process is an important process parameter. Usually, the special gas is transmitted to the spray pipe or the spray plate through the gas inlet pipe, then enters the vacuum cavity from the gas outlet of the spray pipe or the spray plate, and finally is pumped out of the vacuum cavity by the vacuum pump. The special gas path has two problems that firstly, because the silicon wafer carrier plate is an integral body, most special gas flows to the vacuum pump along the back surface from the outer side of the carrier plate, the proportion of the special gas flowing along the surface of the silicon wafer is quite small, so that the thickness of a silicon wafer film coating close to the spray pipe or the spray plate is thicker, the thickness of a silicon wafer film coating far away from the spray pipe or the spray plate is thinner, and the uniformity difference is large, and secondly, because the air inlet pipe provides special gas to the spray pipe or the spray plate from one end of the spray pipe or the spray plate, the special gas flow sprayed out from one end of the spray pipe or the spray plate close to the air inlet pipe is large, the special gas flow sprayed out from one end of the spray pipe is small, so that the thickness of the silicon wafer film coating close to the air inlet pipe is thicker, and the thickness of the silicon wafer film coating far away from the air inlet pipe is thinner. The two problems cause uneven deposition of the coating on the surface of the silicon wafer, so that the quality of the coating is unstable, and the performance and appearance of the product are affected. Also, since the uniformity of the plating layer is poor, in order to thicken the thickness of the thinner region of the plating layer, it is necessary to increase the plating time, thereby consuming more energy and gas sources, raising costs, and the longer the plating time, the more difficult and expensive the maintenance and repair of the shower pipe or the shower plate may become.
