Description
本發明有關於一種防止粉末沾黏的粉末原子層沉積裝置,其中進氣管線輸送非反應氣體的狀態包括一攪動狀態及一防止沾黏狀態,防止沾黏狀態時進氣管線輸出的非反應氣體的流量小於攪拌狀態,並用以避免粉末沾黏在過濾單元上。The present invention relates to a powder atomic layer deposition device for preventing powder from sticking, wherein the state in which the non-reactive gas is conveyed by the air inlet pipeline includes a stirring state and an anti-adhesion state, and the non-reactive gas output by the air inlet line in the non-sticking state is prevented. The flow rate is lower than that of the stirring state, and is used to prevent powder from sticking to the filter unit.
奈米顆粒(nanoparticle)一般被定義為在至少一個維度上小於100奈米的顆粒,奈米顆粒與宏觀物質在物理及化學上的特性截然不同。一般而言,宏觀物質的物理特性與本身的尺寸無關,但奈米顆粒則非如此,奈米顆粒在生物醫學、光學和電子等領域都具有潛在的應用。Nanoparticles are generally defined as particles smaller than 100 nanometers in at least one dimension that are physically and chemically distinct from macroscopic substances. In general, the physical properties of macroscopic substances are independent of their size, but this is not the case for nanoparticles, which have potential applications in fields such as biomedicine, optics, and electronics.
量子點(Quantum Dot)是半導體的奈米顆粒,目前研究的半導體材料為II-VI材料,如ZnS、CdS、CdSe等,其中又以CdSe最受到矚目。量子點的尺寸通常在2至50奈米之間,量子點被紫外線照射後,量子點中的電子會吸收能量,並從價帶躍遷到傳導帶。被激發的電子從傳導帶回到價帶時,會通過發光釋放出能量。Quantum Dot (Quantum Dot) is a semiconductor nanoparticle. The currently studied semiconductor materials are II-VI materials, such as ZnS, CdS, CdSe, etc., among which CdSe is the most attention. The size of quantum dots is usually between 2 and 50 nanometers. When the quantum dots are irradiated with ultraviolet light, the electrons in the quantum dots absorb energy and transition from the valence band to the conduction band. Excited electrons release energy by emitting light as they travel from the conduction band back to the valence band.
量子點的能隙與尺寸大小相關,量子點的尺寸越大能隙越小,經照射後會發出波長較長的光,量子點的尺寸越小則能隙越大,經照射後會發出波長較短的光。例如5到6奈米的量子點會發出橘光或紅光,而2到3奈米的量子點則會發出藍光或綠光,當然光色取決於量子點的材料組成。The energy gap of quantum dots is related to the size. The larger the size of the quantum dot, the smaller the energy gap, and it will emit light with a longer wavelength after irradiation. The smaller the size of the quantum dot, the larger the energy gap, and the wavelength will be emitted after irradiation. shorter light. For example, quantum dots of 5 to 6 nanometers will emit orange or red light, while quantum dots of 2 to 3 nanometers will emit blue or green light, of course, the light color depends on the material composition of the quantum dots.
應用量子點的發光二極體(LED)產生的光可接近連續光譜,同時具有高演色性,並有利於提高發光二極體的發光品質。此外亦可透過改變量子點的尺寸調整發射光的波長,使得量子點成為新一代發光裝置及顯示器的發展重點。Light emitting diodes (LEDs) using quantum dots can produce light close to a continuous spectrum, and at the same time have high color rendering properties, which is beneficial to improve the luminous quality of light emitting diodes. In addition, the wavelength of the emitted light can be adjusted by changing the size of the quantum dots, making the quantum dots become the focus of the development of the new generation of light-emitting devices and displays.
量子點雖然具有上述的優點及特性,但在應用或製造的過程中容易產生團聚現象。此外量子點具有較高的表面活性,並容易與空氣及水氣發生反應,進而縮短量子點的壽命。Although quantum dots have the above-mentioned advantages and characteristics, they are prone to agglomeration in the process of application or manufacture. In addition, quantum dots have high surface activity and easily react with air and water vapor, thereby shortening the life of quantum dots.
具體來說,將量子點製作成為發光二極體的密封膠時,可能會產生團聚效應,而降低了量子點的光學性能。此外,量子點在製作成發光二極體的密封膠後,外界的氧或水氣仍可能會穿過密封膠而接觸量子點的表面,導致量子點氧化,並影響量子點及發光二極體的效能或使用壽命。量子點的表面缺陷及懸空鍵(dangling bonds)亦可能造成非輻射復合(nonradiative recombination),同樣會影響量子點的發光效率。Specifically, when quantum dots are used as sealants for light-emitting diodes, agglomeration effects may occur, which reduce the optical properties of quantum dots. In addition, after the quantum dots are made into the sealant of the light-emitting diodes, the external oxygen or moisture may still pass through the sealant and contact the surface of the quantum dots, resulting in oxidation of the quantum dots and affecting the quantum dots and light-emitting diodes. performance or service life. Surface defects and dangling bonds of quantum dots may also cause nonradiative recombination, which also affects the luminous efficiency of quantum dots.
目前業界主要透過原子層沉積(atomic layer deposition,ALD)在量子點的表面形成一層奈米厚度的薄膜,或者是在量子點的表面形成多層薄膜,以形成量子井結構。At present, the industry mainly uses atomic layer deposition (ALD) to form a nanometer-thick film on the surface of the quantum dot, or to form a multi-layer film on the surface of the quantum dot to form a quantum well structure.
原子層沉積可以在基板上形成厚度均勻的薄膜,並可有效控制薄膜的厚度,理論上亦適用於三維的量子點。量子點靜置在承載盤時,相鄰的量子點之間會存在接觸點,使得原子層沉積的前驅物氣體無法接觸這些接觸點,並導致無法在所有的奈米顆粒的表面皆形成厚度均勻的薄膜。Atomic layer deposition can form a thin film with uniform thickness on the substrate, and can effectively control the thickness of the thin film. It is also suitable for three-dimensional quantum dots in theory. When the quantum dots are placed on the carrier plate, there will be contact points between adjacent quantum dots, so that the precursor gas of atomic layer deposition cannot contact these contact points, and it is impossible to form uniform thickness on the surface of all nanoparticles. film.

軸封裝置13或其內管體133的連接空間134內可設置至少一抽氣管線171、至少一進氣管線173、至少一攪動氣體輸送管線175、一加熱器177及/或一溫度感測單元179,如圖2及圖3所示。此外,內管體133連接反應空間12的一端可設置一過濾單元139,其中過濾單元139主要用以過濾反應空間12內的粉末121。At least one
抽氣管線171經由過濾單元139流體連接真空腔體11的反應空間12,並經由過濾單元139抽出反應空間12內的氣體,使得反應空間12為真空狀態,以進行原子層沉積製程。具體而言抽氣管線171可連接一幫浦,並透過幫浦抽出反應空間12內的氣體。此外透過過濾單元139的設置可避免粉末121在抽氣的過程中進入抽氣管線171內,可有效減少粉末121的損耗。The
進氣管線173經由過濾單元139流體連接真空腔體11的反應空間12,並經由過濾單元139將一前驅物氣體或一非反應氣體輸送至反應空間12,其中非反應氣體可以是氮氣或氬氣等惰性氣體。例如進氣管線173可透過閥件組連接一前驅物氣體儲存槽及一非反應氣體儲存槽,並透過閥件組將前驅物氣體輸送至反應空間12內,以將前驅物氣體沉積在粉末121表面。在實際應用時,進氣管線173可能會將一載送氣體(carrier gas)及前驅物氣體一起輸送到反應空間12內。而後透過閥件組將非反應氣體輸送至反應空間12內,並透過抽氣管線171抽氣,以去除反應空間12內的未反應氣體、反應後的氣體或前驅物氣體。在本發明一實施例中,進氣管線173可連接複數個分枝管線,並分別透過各個分枝管線將不同的前驅物氣體依序輸送至反應空間12內。The
此外可增大進氣管線173輸送至反應空間12的非反應氣體的流量,並透過非反應氣體吹動反應空間12內的粉末121,使得粉末121受到非反應氣體的帶動,擴散到反應空間12的各個區域。In addition, the flow rate of the non-reactive gas delivered to the
在本發明一實施例中,進氣管線173輸出的非反應氣體的流量為可調整,當進氣管線173輸出的非反應氣體的流量較大時,可透過非反應氣體攪動反應空間12內的粉末121,並可將此一狀態定義為一攪動狀態。反之,當進氣管線173輸出的非反應氣體的流量較小時,非反應氣體有可能無法攪動反應空間12內的粉末121。然而輸出的非反應氣體可在過濾單元139接觸反應空間12的表面形成氣牆或正壓,以防止反應空間12內的粉末121沾黏在過濾單元139的表面,並可將此一狀態定義為一防止沾黏狀態。換言之,在攪拌狀態時進氣管線173輸出的非反應氣體的流量會大於防止沾黏狀態。In an embodiment of the present invention, the flow rate of the non-reactive gas output from the
在實際應用時可依據製程的需求,調整進氣管線173輸出非反應氣體的流量,並在攪拌狀態及防止沾黏狀態之間切換。具體而言,進氣管線173可在除了攪拌狀態及輸出前驅物氣體以外的時間,皆輸出小流量的非反應氣體。In practical application, the flow rate of the non-reactive gas output from the
在本發明另一實施例中,防止粉末沾黏的粉末原子層沉積裝置10的軸封裝置13內可設置至少一攪動氣體輸送管線175,其中攪動氣體輸送管線175經由過濾單元139流體連接真空腔體11的反應空間12,並經由過濾單元139將一攪動氣體輸送至反應空間12,例如攪動氣體輸送管線175可透過閥件組連接一氮氣儲存槽,並透過閥件組將氮氣輸送至反應空間12。攪動氣體用以吹動反應空間12內的粉末121,配合驅動單元15驅動真空腔體11轉動,可有效且均勻的翻攪反應空間12內的粉末121,並有利於在各個粉末121的表面沉積厚度均勻的薄膜。In another embodiment of the present invention, the
具體而言,進氣管線173用以輸出前驅物氣體或非反應氣體,而攪動氣體輸送管線175則用以輸出攪動氣體,其中攪動氣體及非反應氣體可以是相同或不相同的氣體,例如攪動氣體及非反應氣體可以是惰性氣體或氮氣。進氣管線173輸送的非反應氣體的流量較小,主要用以去除反應空間12內的前驅物氣體,而攪動氣體輸送管線175輸送的攪動氣體的流量較大,主要用以吹動反應空間12內的粉末121。Specifically, the
在本發明實施例中,當攪動氣體輸送管線175將攪動氣體輸送至反應空間12時,進氣管線173亦可將非反應氣體輸送至反應空間12,並在過濾單元139接觸反應空間12的表面形成氣牆或正壓,以防止反應空間12內被攪動氣體吹動的粉末121沾黏在過濾單元139的表面。In the embodiment of the present invention, when the stirring
在本發明一實施例中,如圖4所示,軸封裝置13的內管體133由外管體131的容置空間132延伸至真空腔體11的反應空間12,其中反應空間12內的內管體133被定義為一凸出管部130。此外位於內管體133的連接空間134內的抽氣管線171、進氣管線173、攪動氣體輸送管線175、加熱器177及/或溫度感測單元179亦位於凸出管部130。透過凸出管部130的設置可縮短或調整進氣管線173及/或攪動氣體輸送管線175與蓋板111之間的距離,使得進氣管線173及/或攪動氣體輸送管線175輸送至反應空間12的非反應氣體及/或攪動氣體傳遞至蓋板111上,並經由蓋板111擴散到反應空間12的各個區域。此外,過濾單元139可設置在凸出管部130的一端。In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4 , the
加熱器177用以加熱內管體133內的抽氣管線171、進氣管線173及/或攪動氣體輸送管線175,以提高抽氣管線171、進氣管線173及/或攪動氣體輸送管線175內的氣體的溫度。例如可提高進氣管線173輸送至反應空間12的非反應氣體及/或前驅物氣體的溫度,並可提高攪動氣體輸送管線175輸送至反應空間12的攪動氣體的溫度。使得非反應氣體、攪動氣體及/或前驅物氣體進入反應空間12時,不會造成反應空間12的溫度大幅下降或改變。此外可透過溫度感測單元179量測加熱器177或連接空間134的溫度,以得知加熱器177的工作狀態。當然在真空腔體11的內部、外部或周圍通常會設置另一個加熱裝置16,如圖4所示,其中加熱裝置16鄰近或接觸真空腔體11,並用以加熱真空腔體11及反應空間12。The
驅動單元15帶動外管體131及真空腔體11轉動時,內管體133及內部的抽氣管線171、進氣管線173及/或攪動氣體輸送管線175並不會隨著轉動,並有利於穩定傳送至反應空間12的非反應氣體、攪動氣體及前驅物氣體。When the driving
在本發明一實施例中,防止粉末沾黏的粉末原子層沉積裝置10亦可包括一承載板191及至少一固定架193,其中承載板191可為一板體,用以承載驅動單元15、真空腔體11及軸封裝置13。例如承載板191連接驅動單元15,並透過驅動單元15連接軸封裝置13及真空腔體11。此外軸封裝置13及/或真空腔體11亦可透過至少一支撐架連接承載板191,以提高連接的穩定度。In an embodiment of the present invention, the powder atomic
承載板191可透過至少一連接軸195連接固定架193,其中固定架193的數量可為兩個,並分別設置在承載板191的兩側。承載板191可以連接軸195為軸心相對於固定架193轉動,以改變驅動單元15、軸封裝置13及真空腔體11的仰角,以利於在各個粉末121的表面形成厚度均勻的薄膜。The
在本發明另一實施例中,如圖5所示,攪動氣體輸送管線175由內管體133的連接空間134延伸至真空腔體11的反應空間12,其中延伸至反應空間12的攪動氣體輸送管線175可被定義為一延伸管線172。延伸管線172位於反應空間12內,並朝反應空間12的一表面的方向延伸,例如反應空間12下半部的表面。攪動氣體輸送管線175及延伸管線172不經由過濾單元139將攪動氣體傳送至真空腔體11的反應空間12,而是直接將攪動氣體輸送至反應空間12。In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5 , the stirring
當攪動氣體輸送管線175及延伸管線172輸出攪動氣體時,進氣管線173亦會輸出非反應氣體,並在過濾單元139接觸反應空間12的表面形成氣牆或正壓,以防止反應空間12的粉末121沾黏在過濾單元139的表面。When the agitation
