Filed:

Jun 2, 2020

Appl. No.:

17/610675

Inventors:

- Santa Clara CA, US
Ryan Thomas DOWNEY - San Jose CA, US

International Classification:

H01J 37/32
B01D 45/16
B01D 51/06

Abstract:

Embodiments disclosed herein include a particle collection trap for an abatement system for abating compounds produced in semiconductor processes. The particle collection trap includes a device for producing spiral gas flow in the particle collection trap. The spiral gas flow causes particles, which are heavier than the gas, to travel to the outside diameter of the flow path where the gas velocity is slower and to drop out of the gas stream. The device may be a spiral member coupled to a hollow tube or a rolled member having an inner portion coupled to a hollow tube. The particle collection trap increases the accumulation rate of particles in the gas stream without reducing the velocity of the gas flow.

Inventors:

- Santa Clara CA, US
Ryan T. DOWNEY - San Jose CA, US
David Muquing HOU - Cupertino CA, US
Yan ROZENZON - San Carlos CA, US

International Classification:

H01J 37/32
H01L 21/67
B01D 53/32

Abstract:

Embodiments disclosed herein include an abatement system for abating compounds produced in semiconductor processes. The abatement system includes an exhaust cooling apparatus located downstream of a plasma source. The exhaust cooling apparatus includes a plate and a cooling plate disposed downstream of the plate. During operation, materials collected on the plate react with cleaning radicals to form a gas. The temperature of the plate is higher than the temperature of the cooling plate in order to improve the reaction rate of the reaction of the cleaning radicals and the materials on the plate.

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate techniques for abating NO gas present in the effluent of semiconductor manufacturing processes. In one embodiment, a method includes injecting hydrogen gas or ammonia gas into a plasma source, and an effluent containing NO gas and the hydrogen or ammonia gas are energized and reacted to form an abated material. By using the hydrogen gas or the ammonia gas, the destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of the NO gas is at least 50 percent while the concentration of nitric oxide (NO) and/or nitrogen dioxide (NO) in the abated material is substantially reduced, such as at most 5000 parts per million (ppm) by volume.
