I. Core Material Selection: Ultimate Purity for Harsh Operating Conditions
Selected high-purity synthetic quartz glass (purity ≥99.999%) with impurities (metal ions, hydroxyl groups) strictly controlled below ppm levels, eliminating wafer contamination risks at the source. Materials are precisely chosen based on specific process requirements:Etching / PECVD Equipment: Quartz material resistant to fluorine- and chlorine-based plasma bombardment, offering 40% improved corrosion resistance and preventing particle generation from chamber wall delamination;
High-Temperature Annealing Equipment: Low-hydroxyl quartz (hydroxyl content ≤10ppm), capable of enduring prolonged baking at 1200°C without crystallization or deformation.
II. Precision Dimensional and Geometric Tolerance Control: Seamless Fit Ensures Vacuum Sealing
Leveraging CNC precision machining and laser inspection technology, micrometer-level accuracy is achieved to ensure perfect alignment with chamber flanges:Dimensional Tolerances: Outer diameter tolerance ≤±0.05mm, wall thickness tolerance ≤±0.03mm, compatible with various equipment slot installation requirements;
Geometric Tolerances: Roundness error ≤0.02mm, perpendicularity error ≤0.01mm/m, flatness ≤0.005mm, eliminating vacuum leakage caused by deformation;
Edge Finishing: Chamfer polishing (chamfer radius R0.5–R1.0mm) prevents sharp edges from scratching sealing gaskets, enhancing sealing reliability.
III. Surface Treatment and Cleanroom Process: Ultra-Low Particle Count Meets Extreme Cleanliness Standards
Surface Polishing: Both inner and outer walls undergo precision chemical and physical polishing, achieving surface roughness Ra≤0.01μm, minimizing adsorption and residue of process gases and plasma;Cleaning Process: Full-cycle procedure including ultrasonic cleaning, plasma decontamination, ultra-pure water rinsing, and Class 100 vacuum drying, resulting in ≤3 particles per piece (≥0.5μm), meeting advanced semiconductor cleanroom standards;
Protective Coating: Optional SiO₂ anti-reflective coating or Y₂O₃ anti-corrosion coating enhances plasma resistance and extends service life by 30%–50%.
