- the sensor unit 10 among the molecules contained in the carrier gas 29, the molecules ionized by the UV ionization unit 12 are detected by the FAIMS 11 which is a detection unit. Since the carrier gas 29 of the leak inspection system 1 is carbon dioxide, it is not ionized by the UV ionization unit 12 and is not detected by the FAIMS 11.
- the determination unit 71 of the leak inspection application 72 outputs an inspection result indicating that no leak is observed in the inspection object 35.
- Air 59 is supplied to the sensor unit 10 by the carrier gas 29 through the first path 5.
- Components such as oxygen or other trace organic substances in the air 59 contained in the carrier gas 29 are ionized by the UV ionization unit 12 and reach the FAIMS 11. Therefore, FAIMS 11 outputs a spectrum including positive and / or negative ion peaks, and outputs from OLP 60 that there is some detected object.
- the OLP 60 does not need to specify the detected molecule, and the determination unit (determination function) 71 receives the fact that the OLP 60 has detected some molecule and outputs a test result indicating that the inspection target 35 has a leak. To do.
- the FAIMS 11 can detect a trace component contained in the supplied carrier gas 29, for example, a component present in the carrier gas 29 at a concentration of ppt to ppb. Therefore, the leak inspection system 1 can detect a small amount of leak of the inspection object 35 with high accuracy. Furthermore, it is necessary to supply a carrier gas 29 of about 1 to 1000 mL / min for measurement with the FAIMS 11, but the sensitivity of the FAIMS 11 is not lowered by using carbon dioxide that is not ionized by the UV ionization unit 12 as the carrier gas 29. The carrier gas flow can be secured. Since the carrier gas flow is secured, if there is a leak in the inspection object 35, the leaked component is supplied to the FAIMS 11 by the carrier gas 29 in a short time. Therefore, in this leak inspection system 1, it is possible to determine the presence or absence of leaks in a short time in almost real time, and the inspection time can be greatly shortened.
- the carrier gas 29 can purge the chamber 30 and the pipe 39 connecting the chamber 30 and the sensor unit 10. Therefore, the adhesion of impurities to the chamber 30 and the pipe 39 can be suppressed, and the accuracy of leak inspection can be improved.
- the gases used for the leak check are carbon dioxide (first gas) 29 and air (second gas) 59, and the running cost can be greatly reduced as compared with the conventional leak inspection using helium. .
- the running cost can be further reduced by collecting and reusing the carrier gas 29 by the circulation unit 45.
- the entire leak inspection system 1 is controlled at a pressure around atmospheric pressure, and there is no need to evacuate the chamber. Therefore, it is not necessary to significantly increase the mechanical strength of the container and the pipe, and it is not necessary to prepare a vacuum pump. For this reason, equipment costs can also be reduced.
- the chamber 30 can be heated, and a leak inspection can be performed at a high temperature.
- FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a process for performing a leak inspection using the leak inspection system 1.
- the carrier gas (carbon dioxide, first gas) 29 and the leak gas (air, second gas) 59 are prepared.
- the carrier gas (carbon dioxide) 29 is supplied until the reservoir 23 reaches a predetermined pressure, and the purifier 25 is operated.
- a leak gas (dry air) 59 is prepared in the reservoir 51.
- the inspection object (DUT) 35 is accommodated in the chamber 30, and the chamber 30 is sealed.
- a loading / unloading chamber (air lock) such as a double door system is provided so that the inspection objects 35 can be successively set in the chamber 30 one after another by a belt conveyor or the like. Also good.
- the flow (flow rate) of the carrier gas 29 is checked in step 83, and the state of the carrier gas 29 is checked by the FAIMS 11 in step 84.
- the flow rate of the carrier gas 29 is stabilized, the purity of the carrier gas 29 is sufficiently high, and impurities such as moisture and VOC are no longer detected by the FAIMS 11, the leak gas 59 is supplied to the inspection object 35 in the chamber 30 in step 85.
- measurement by FAIMS 11 is started. That is, the carrier gas 29 that is not ionized by the ionization unit 12 is supplied to the chamber (container) 30 in which the object 35 is stored, and the carrier gas 29 is supplied to the FAIMS 11 through the ionization unit 12.
- the leak inspection application 72 analyzes the data obtained from the OLP 60 and determines whether there is a leak in the inspection object 35. That is, the determination unit 71 of the leak inspection application 72 determines the leak of the dry air 59 containing the component ionized by the ionization unit 12 from the inside of the target object 35 based on the detection result of the FAIMS 11, and appropriate means such as an alarm. To output.
- the leak inspection application 72 may include a function of recording the inspection result on an appropriate recording medium 87 or outputting it via a computer network.
- step 88 If there is a next inspection object 35 in step 88, the process returns to step 82, the inspection object 35 in the chamber 30 is replaced, and the leak inspection is started again.
- the above example describes the case where the leak direction is from the object 35 to the container 30, but if the leak direction is from the container 30 to the object 35, the object 35 is connected to the carrier gas supply unit 20, and the object The leak inspection can be performed by connecting the 35 to the sensor unit 10 via the pipe 39.
- the leak gas 59 employs dry air.
- the leak gas 59 may be normal air. However, when it is not dry air, it takes time to remove the moisture when it adheres to the chamber 30 and the pipe 39, and the waiting time until the next leak test condition is established becomes long. Therefore, the leak gas 59 is preferably dry air.
- the leak gas 59 may be acetone or other gas having a high volatility and containing a small amount of a specific component that is easily ionized by UV, for example, about 0.1 to 10%.
- the concentration of a specific component in the leak gas 59 is set on the assumption that the sensitivity of the FAIMS 11 is highest when the inspection target 35 is leaked, for example, ppb or sub ppb. Is desirable.
- the sensor for detecting the leaked component is not limited to FAIMS, but may be another type of ion mobility sensor or a mass analyzer. However, since the ion mobility sensor can measure components leaked in the air, it is easy to manage and is suitable for a low-cost leak inspection system.
