Description
Furnace tube equipment Technical Field The embodiment of the application relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to furnace tube equipment. Background Furnace tube apparatus is an important component of industrial heating equipment (e.g., various industrial furnaces, boilers, etc.) for transporting and heating fluid media. It is generally composed of a series of furnace body, pipe fittings (such as elbow, tee joint, etc.), supporting structure, etc. The furnace body is a core component and is a key structure for heating wafers. However, wafer fragments are easily caused in the process of heating the wafer by the furnace tube body. Therefore, in this context, how to provide a technical solution to reduce the breaking risk of the wafer on the basis of uniformly heating the wafer becomes a technical problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the embodiment of the present utility model provides the following technical solutions. In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a furnace apparatus, including a furnace body, the furnace body including: The quartz process tube comprises a wafer bearing structure in the quartz process tube; a rotatable heater located at the outer periphery of the quartz process tube; when the furnace tube equipment works, the wafer bearing structure is kept in a static state, and the rotatable heater rotates around the periphery of the quartz process tube so as to uniformly heat the wafer borne by the wafer bearing structure. The furnace tube equipment provided by the embodiment of the utility model comprises a furnace tube body, wherein the furnace tube body comprises a quartz process tube, a rotatable heater is arranged at the periphery of the quartz process tube, and the rotatable heater rotates around the periphery of the quartz process tube when the furnace tube equipment works so as to uniformly heat wafers carried by the wafer carrying structure. It can be seen that, according to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the utility model, since the rotatable heater is located at the periphery of the quartz process tube and can rotate around the quartz process tube, when the furnace tube device works, the wafer carried by the wafer carrying structure which is in a static state in the quartz process tube can be uniformly heated by the rotatable heater in the process of heating the wafer by the furnace tube body, so that the wafer is driven to rotate to uniformly heat in a manner of avoiding adopting the rotating wafer carrying structure. Because the wafer bearing structure rotates to drive the wafer to be heated, the risk of wafer breakage due to uneven stress can occur, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the utility model can effectively avoid the occurrence probability of wafer breakage risk, and can reduce the wafer breakage risk on the basis of uniformly heating the wafer.
