Description

Atomic layer deposition device for particles
Technical Field
The invention relates to an atomic layer deposition device of particles, wherein the reaction space of a vacuum cavity is a polygonal column or a circular wavy column, so that non-reaction gas conveyed to the vacuum cavity can effectively stir the particles and a film with uniform thickness can be formed on the surface of the particles.
Background
Nanoparticles (nanoparticles) are generally defined as particles smaller than 100 nm in at least one dimension, which are physically and chemically distinct from macroscopic materials. In general, the physical properties of macroscopic materials are independent of their size, but nanoparticles are not, and thus have potential applications in biomedical, optical, and electronic fields.
Quantum dots (Quantum dots) are nanoparticles of semiconductors, and the currently studied semiconductor materials are II-VI materials, such as ZnS, CdS, CdSe, etc., of which CdSe is the most drawing attention. The size of the quantum dot is usually between 2 and 50 nm, and after the quantum dot is irradiated by ultraviolet rays, electrons in the quantum dot absorb energy and transition from a valence band to a conduction band. The excited electrons release energy by luminescence when they return from the conduction band to the valence band.
The energy gap of the quantum dot is related to the size of the quantum dot, the larger the size of the quantum dot is, the smaller the energy gap is, the longer wavelength light can be emitted after irradiation, and the smaller the size of the quantum dot is, the larger the energy gap is, the shorter wavelength light can be emitted after irradiation. For example, 5 to 6 nm quantum dots emit orange or red light, while 2 to 3 nm quantum dots emit blue or green light, depending on the material composition of the quantum dots.
The light generated by a Light Emitting Diode (LED) using quantum dots can approach a continuous spectrum, and has high color rendering property, which is beneficial to improving the light emitting quality of the LED. In addition, the wavelength of the emitted light can be adjusted by changing the size of the quantum dots, so that the quantum dots become the development focus of a new generation of light-emitting devices and displays.
Although the quantum dots have the advantages and characteristics described above, they are easily agglomerated during the manufacturing process. In addition, the quantum dots have higher surface activity and are easy to react with air and moisture, so that the service life of the quantum dots is shortened.
Specifically, in the process of manufacturing the quantum dots as the sealant of the light emitting diode, an agglomeration effect may be generated, thereby reducing the optical performance of the quantum dots. In addition, after the quantum dots are manufactured into the sealant of the light emitting diode, external oxygen or moisture may still penetrate through the sealant to contact the surface of the quantum dots, which may oxidize the quantum dots and shorten the performance or service life of the quantum dots and the light emitting diode. In addition, surface defects and dangling bonds (dangling bonds) of quantum dots can also cause nonradiative recombination.
Currently, the quantum well structure is formed by forming a thin film with a thickness of nanometer on the surface of the quantum dot by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), or forming a plurality of thin films on the surface of the quantum dot.
The atomic layer deposition can form a film with uniform thickness on the substrate, can effectively control the thickness of the film, and is theoretically suitable for three-dimensional quantum dots. When the quantum dots are placed on the carrier plate, contact points exist between adjacent quantum dots, so that precursor gas for atomic layer deposition cannot contact the contact points, and a thin film with uniform thickness cannot be formed on the surfaces of all the nano-particles.

Detailed Description
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 3 and fig. 4, a schematic perspective view, a schematic cross-sectional view, a schematic partial cross-sectional view and a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of a vacuum chamber of an atomic layer deposition apparatus of the particles according to the present invention are respectively shown. As shown in the figure, the atomic layer deposition apparatus 10 of particles mainly includes a vacuum chamber 11, a shaft seal device 13 and a driving unit 15, wherein the driving unit 15 is connected to the vacuum chamber 11 through the shaft seal device 13 and drives the vacuum chamber 11 to rotate.
The vacuum chamber 11 has a reaction space 12 for accommodating a plurality of particles 121, wherein the powder 121 may be Quantum dots (Quantum dots), such as ZnS, CdS, CdSe, and other II-VI semiconductor materials, and the thin film formed on the Quantum dots may be aluminum oxide (Al2O 3). In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, the vacuum chamber 11 includes a cover plate 111 and a chamber 113, wherein the reaction space 12 inside the vacuum chamber 11 is a circular wavy column.
At least one pumping line 171, at least one gas inlet line 173 and/or at least one non-reactive gas delivery line 175 are fluidly connected to the reaction space 12 of the vacuum chamber 11, for example, the pumping line 171, the gas inlet line 173, the non-reactive gas delivery line 175, a heater 177 and/or a temperature sensing unit 179 may be disposed in the shaft sealing device 13, as shown in FIG. 3. The gas pumping line 171 is fluidly connected to the reaction space 12 of the vacuum chamber 11 and is used for pumping out the gas in the reaction space 12, so that the reaction space 12 is in a vacuum state for performing the subsequent atomic layer deposition process. Specifically, the gas exhaust line 171 may be connected to a pump, and the gas in the reaction space 12 is exhausted by the pump.
The gas inlet line 173 is fluidly connected to the reaction space 12 of the vacuum chamber 11 and is used for delivering a precursor or a non-reactive gas to the reaction space 12. For example, the gas inlet line 173 may be connected to a precursor storage tank and a non-reactive gas storage tank through a valve set, and deliver the precursor gas into the reaction space 12 through the valve set, so that the precursor gas is deposited on the surface of the particles 121. In practice, the gas inlet line 173 may deliver a carrier gas (carrier gas) and precursor gas into the reaction space 12. Non-reactive gases are then delivered into reaction space 12 through a set of valves and pumped through pumping line 171 to remove unreacted precursor gases from reaction space 12. In one embodiment of the present invention, the gas inlet line 173 may be connected to a plurality of branch lines, and may sequentially deliver different precursor gases into the reaction space 12 through each branch line.
In addition, the flow rate of the non-reactive gas supplied to the reaction space 12 through the gas supply line 173 may be increased, and the particles 121 in the reaction space 12 may be blown by the non-reactive gas, so that the particles 121 are diffused to various regions of the reaction space 12 by the non-reactive gas.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the gas inlet line 173 may include at least one non-reactive gas delivery line 175 fluidly connected to the reaction space 12 of the vacuum chamber 11 and configured to deliver non-reactive gas to the reaction space 12, for example, the non-reactive gas delivery line 175 may be connected to a nitrogen storage tank through a valve set and deliver nitrogen to the reaction space 12 through the valve set. The non-reactive gas is used to blow the particles 121 in the reaction space 12, and the driving unit 15 is used to drive the vacuum chamber 11 to rotate, so as to effectively and uniformly stir the particles 121 in the reaction space 12 and deposit a thin film with uniform thickness on the surface of each particle 121.
The gas inlet line 173 and the non-reactive gas delivery line 175 of the atomic layer deposition apparatus 10 are used for delivering non-reactive gas to the reaction space 12, wherein the gas inlet line 173 delivers a smaller flow of non-reactive gas for removing the precursor gas in the reaction space 12, and the non-reactive gas delivery line 175 delivers a larger flow of non-reactive gas for blowing the particles 121 in the reaction space 12. In addition, the non-reactive gas delivered by the gas inlet line 173 and the non-reactive gas delivery line 175 may be different gases.
The gas inlet line 173 and the non-reactive gas transfer line 175 transfer the non-reactive gas to the reaction space 12 at different time points, so that the non-reactive gas transfer line 175 may not be provided in practical applications, and the flow rate of the non-reactive gas transferred by the gas inlet line 173 at different time points may be adjusted. Specifically, when the precursor gas in the reaction space 12 is removed, the flow rate of the non-reactive gas delivered to the reaction space 12 by the gas inlet line 173 is reduced, and when the particles 121 in the reaction space 12 are blown, the flow rate of the non-reactive gas delivered to the reaction space 12 by the gas inlet line 173 is increased.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the shaft sealing device 13 includes an outer tube 131 and an inner tube 133, wherein the outer tube 131 has a receiving space 132, and the inner tube 133 has a connecting space 134, for example, the outer tube 131 and the inner tube 133 may be hollow cylinders. The accommodating space 132 of the outer tube 131 is used for accommodating the inner tube 133, wherein the outer tube 131 and the inner tube 133 are coaxially disposed.
The shaft seal device 13 of the present invention can be a common shaft seal or a magnetic fluid shaft seal, and is mainly used for isolating the reaction space 12 of the vacuum chamber 11 from the external space to maintain the vacuum of the reaction space 12.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a filter unit 139 may be disposed at one end of the inner pipe 133 connected to the reaction space 12, wherein the gas exhaust line 171 is fluidly connected to the reaction space 12 via the filter unit 139, and exhausts the gas in the reaction space 12 via the filter unit 139. The filtering unit 139 is mainly used to filter the particles 121 in the reaction space 12 to prevent the particles 121 from entering the air exhaust line 171 during the air exhaust process and causing the loss of the particles 121.
The driving unit 15 is connected to the vacuum chamber 11 through the outer tube 131, and drives the vacuum chamber 11 to rotate through the outer tube 131. In addition, the driving unit 15 is not connected to the inner tube 133, so that when the driving unit 15 drives the outer tube 131 and the vacuum chamber 11 to rotate, the inner tube 133 does not rotate, which is beneficial to maintaining the stability of the air pumping or supplying of the air pumping line 171, the air inlet line 173 and/or the non-reactive gas conveying line 175 in the inner tube 133.
The driving unit 15 can drive the outer tube 131 and the vacuum chamber 11 to rotate continuously in the same direction, for example, clockwise or counterclockwise. In various embodiments, the driving unit 15 can drive the outer tube 131 and the vacuum chamber 11 to rotate clockwise by a specific angle, and then rotate counterclockwise by a specific angle, for example, the specific angle can be 360 degrees. The particles 121 in the reaction space 12 are agitated by the rotation of the vacuum chamber 11, so that the particles 121 contact with the precursor gas.
In an embodiment of the invention, the driving unit 15 can be a motor, and is connected to the outer tube 131 through at least one gear 14, and drives the outer tube 131 and the vacuum chamber 11 to rotate relative to the inner tube 133 through the gear 14. The pumping line 171, the intake line 173, the non-reactive gas delivery line 175, the heater 177, and/or the temperature sensing unit 179 may be disposed in the connection space 134 of the inner tube 133, as shown in fig. 2 and 3.
The heater 177 heats the connecting space 134 and the inner tube 133, and heats the pumping line 171, the gas inlet line 173 and/or the non-reactive gas transporting line 175 in the inner tube 133 through the heater 177 to increase the temperature of the gas in the pumping line 171, the gas inlet line 173 and/or the non-reactive gas transporting line 175. For example, the temperature of the non-reactive gas and/or precursor gas delivered to the reaction space 12 by the gas inlet line 173 may be increased, and the temperature of the non-reactive gas delivered to the reaction space 12 by the non-reactive gas delivery line 175 may be increased. So that the temperature of the reaction space 12 is not greatly reduced or changed when the non-reactive gas and/or the precursor gas enters the reaction space 12. In addition, the temperature of the heater 177 or the connection space 134 can be measured by the temperature sensing unit 179 to know the operating state of the heater 177. Of course, another heating device is usually disposed inside, outside or around the vacuum chamber 11, wherein the heating device is adjacent to or in contact with the vacuum chamber 11 and is used to heat the vacuum chamber 11 and the reaction space 12.
The reaction space 12 of the present invention is a circular wavy column, and the non-reactive gas supplied to the reaction space 12 through the gas supply line 173 or the non-reactive gas supply line 175 is transferred to each region through the reaction space 12 of the circular wavy column, and raises the particles 121 in the reaction space 12, so that the particles 121 are uniformly diffused to each region of the reaction space 12. The particles 121 in the reaction space 12 can be uniformly heated and a thin film having a uniform thickness can be formed on the surfaces of the particles 121.
Specifically, a plurality of semi-cylindrical structures or arc-shaped cylindrical structures may be formed on the inner surface 112 of the vacuum chamber 11, as shown in fig. 4, wherein the semi-cylindrical structures or arc-shaped cylindrical structures are continuously disposed along the inner surface 112, so that the cross section of the reaction space 12 is in a circular wave shape.
The inner bottom surface 114 and the inner top surface of the vacuum chamber 11 may be provided with corresponding grooves 115/117, for example, the inner surface 116 of the cover plate 111 of the vacuum chamber 11 may be provided with circular wavy grooves 117, and the inner bottom surface 114 of the chamber 113 is provided with corresponding circular wavy grooves 115, wherein the circular wavy grooves 115/117 correspond to the circular wavy space on the inner side surface 112 of the vacuum chamber 11, so that the circular wavy grooves 117 of the cover plate 111 and the circular wavy space of the chamber 113 form a circular wavy cylinder. The edges of the groove 115/117 may be curved to facilitate the introduction of the non-reactive gas into the reaction space 12 and the particles 121 entrained by the non-reactive gas.
The particles 121 in the semi-cylindrical or arc-cylindrical structure of the inner surface 112 will rotate with the vacuum chamber 11, and will not fall down gradually due to gravity until the particles 121 in the semi-cylindrical or arc-cylindrical structure rotate to a specific angle. This further uniformly and sufficiently agitates the particles 121 in the reaction space 12, so that each particle 121 is uniformly heated and a thin film with uniform thickness is formed on the surface of the particle 121.
In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, the reaction space 12 in the vacuum chamber 11 may be a polygonal column, such as a hexagonal column. Specifically, the inner surface 116 of the cover plate 111 of the vacuum chamber 11 may be provided with a polygonal groove 117 corresponding to the polygonal space on the inner side surface 112 of the vacuum chamber 11, wherein the polygonal groove 117 of the cover plate 111 and the polygonal space of the chamber 113 form a polygonal column. In various embodiments, no grooves may be provided on the inner surface 116 of the cover plate 111.
A through hole 119 is formed on the inner bottom surface 114 of the cavity 113, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, and a portion of the shaft seal device 13 is disposed in the through hole 119, for example, one end of the inner tube 133 of the shaft seal device 13 can be attached to the through hole 119, as shown in fig. 2. In various embodiments, a portion of the shaft seal apparatus 13 can be inserted through the through hole 119 and positioned in the reaction space 12, for example, a portion of the inner tube 133 of the shaft seal apparatus 13 can be inserted through the through hole 119 and extended into the reaction space 12 to form a protruding tube portion 130 in the reaction space, as shown in FIG. 6.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the atomic layer deposition apparatus 10 may also include a carrier 191 and at least one fixing frame 193, wherein the carrier 191 may be a plate for carrying the driving unit 15, the vacuum chamber 11 and the shaft sealing device 13. For example, the carrier plate 191 is connected to the driving unit 15, and the sealing device 13 and the vacuum chamber 11 are connected by the driving unit 15. In addition, the shaft seal device 13 and/or the vacuum chamber 11 can also be connected to the bearing plate 191 through at least one support frame to improve the stability of the connection.
