Key Points and Application Practice of CVD Tube Furnace Temperature Control Technology
As a key equipment for material preparation, the temperature control accuracy of CVD tube furnace directly affects the structure, performance and preparation efficiency of the material. The following systematically analyzes the core points of this technology from four aspects: technical principles, key parameters, optimization strategies and application cases.
1. Temperature control technology principles and core componentsThe temperature control of the CVD tube furnace is based on a closed-loop feedback system , which monitors the furnace temperature in real time through sensors and dynamically adjusts the output power in combination with the heating module to maintain the target temperature stability. The core components include:
Heating elements: resistance wire (such as nickel-chromium alloy) or silicon carbon rod are mostly used to provide uniform heat distribution. Some high-end models use DC signals to adjust the power to avoid inductive electrical interference.
Temperature control sensor: commonly used thermocouples (such as N- type, S-type) or infrared thermometers, with an accuracy of up to ±1°C, ensuring real-time data collection in high temperature environments.
Control system: equipped with PLC or touch screen human-machine interface, supports programmed heating/cooling (such as 0-100℃/min adjustable), and integrates over-temperature protection function (overheating prevention, power-on delay).2. Key control parameters and technical featuresTemperature uniformity
The furnace design adopts polycrystalline mullite fiber vacuum adsorption molding , combined with air diversion and heat insulation technology, to achieve a temperature field uniformity of ±5°C (at a high temperature of 1600°C), and the energy saving efficiency is increased by more than 50%.
Dual-circuit power supply and strong and weak current separation wiring design reduce circuit interference and further ensure temperature stability.
Dynamic response speed
The double-layer furnace shell structure has a built-in fan, which supports rapid temperature rise and fall (for example, it only takes 30 minutes for the room temperature to rise to 1000°C), and the surface temperature of the furnace shell can be controlled below 60°C.
After the test, the exhaust fan automatically runs until the furnace temperature is below 60°C to avoid damage to the furnace material by high-temperature waste heat.
Coordinated atmosphere control
In the CVD process, the temperature needs to be precisely matched with the gas flow rate (regulated by a mass flow controller) and the vacuum degree (linked with a vacuum pump). For example, the growth of ZnO nanostructures requires the temperature to be controlled at 800-1000°C while adjusting the oxygen/argon ratio.3. Process optimization and application scenario examples

4. Maintenance and accuracy assurance measuresRegular calibration: It is recommended to calibrate the sensor using a standard thermometer every six months to ensure that the reading deviation does not exceed ±1°C.
Component replacement: After the heating element (such as silicon carbon rod) has been used for 1000 hours cumulatively, the resistance value change needs to be checked to avoid local overheating.
Atmosphere sealing inspection: The gas system (such as 316 stainless steel pipelines, one-way valves) needs to be regularly inspected for leaks to prevent gas leakage from affecting the uniformity of the temperature field.5. Technology Development TrendsAt present, the temperature control of CVD tube furnace is developing towards intelligence , for example:
Introduce AI algorithms to predict temperature fluctuations and adjust heating power in advance;
Develop a remote monitoring system that supports multi-furnace collaborative control and data traceability to meet the stringent requirements of high-end manufacturing fields such as semiconductors and new energy.
By precisely controlling temperature parameters, optimizing furnace design and strengthening system maintenance, the CVD tube furnace can achieve efficient and stable material preparation, providing reliable guarantee for advanced material research and development and industrial production.
