기-액 하이브리드 대기압 플라즈마 반응기 제작 및 특성 분석
Fabrication and Characterization of Gas-liquid Hybrid Reactor Equipped with Atmospheric Pressure Plasma
3가지 종류의 기-액 하이브리드 수평형, 수직형 그리고 needle-to-cylinder형 플라즈마 반응기가 제작되었다. 이들 반 응기를 통하여 대기압 플라즈마 방전에서 발생하는 반응 활성종 생성과 전극 내의 전위차를 통한 세정성분의 기-액 활 성화 반응을 일으키는 고효율 친환경 기반의 세정 개념을 제시하였다. 세정성능에 대한 효율성을 비교한 결과, needleto- cylinder형 반응기가 가장 우수한 특성을 가졌다. 본 연구를 통해 기-액 하이브리드 대기압 플라즈마 반응기가 반도 체 공정 등 초정밀 세정공정에 응용 가능성이 있음을 확인하였다.
Three types of gas-liquid hybrid horizontal, vertical and needle-to-cylinder plasma reactors were fabricated. Through these reactors, a high-efficiency, eco-friendly cleaning concept that generates reactive active species generated in atmospheric plasma discharge and gas-liquid activation reaction of cleaning components through the potential difference within the electrode was presented. As a result of comparing the efficiency for cleaning performance, the needle-to-cylinder type reactor had the best characteristics. Through this study, it was confirmed that the gas-liquid hybrid atmospheric pressure plasma reactor has the potential to be applied to ultra-precision cleaning processes such as semiconductor processes.
