試料ガスに励起光を照射することによって生じたラマン散乱光は、ガスセル10の出射窓からガスセル10外に出て、検出器12によって検出され、試料ガス中に含有される不純物が分析される。
ガスセル10は、ガスセル本体に入射窓、出射窓、ガス導入口、ガス排出口等が備えられて構成されている。入射窓、出射窓以外のガスセル本体の材質は、試料ガスと反応しないものであれば特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、ステンレス鋼、ニッケル、インコネル(登録商標)、フッ素樹脂(例えばテフロン(登録商標))、石英、ホウケイ酸ガラスが使用可能である。
試料ガス供給源1は、試料ガスをガスセル10に供給できるものであれば特に限定されるものではなく、供給方法、形態、大きさは特に限定されない。
乾燥ガス供給源2は、乾燥ガスをガスセル10に供給できるものであれば特に限定されるものではなく、供給方法、形態、大きさは特に限定されない。例えば、乾燥ガスとして窒素ガス(N2)を用いる場合であれば、高純度窒素ガスボンベを乾燥ガス供給源2として用いることができる。
光源11は、励起光を出射することができるならば特に限定されるものではないが、例えば、ヘリウムネオンレーザー、アルゴンレーザー等の気体レーザーや、YAGレーザー等の固体レーザーが使用可能である。
検出器12は、分光器と光検出器を備えている。分光器としては、回折格子を使ったモノクロメーター、ポリクロメーターや、特定波長の光を抽出するフィルター等が使用可能である。光検出器としては、光電子増倍管、半導体光検出素子、アバランシェフォトダイオード、相補性金属酸化膜半導体センサー(CMOS)、電荷結合素子(CCD)等が使用可能である。
前処理工程は、分析工程を実施する前に、ガスセル10内の水の分圧を10Pa以下に低減する工程である。前処理工程終了時のガスセル10内の水の分圧は、10Pa以下とする必要があるが、1Pa以下とすることが好ましく、0.1Pa以下とすることがより好ましい。ガスセル10内に水が残存していると、試料ガスの分析結果において水の測定値が大きくなってしまうおそれがある。ガスセル10内の水の分圧は、ラマン分光法で定量することができる。なお、ガスセル10内の水の分圧は0.01Pa以上であってもよい。
ガスセル10内を乾燥ガスでパージする方法では、乾燥ガスを流通させることによりガスセル10内をパージしてもよいし、乾燥ガスをガスセル10内に加圧充填した後に排気することによりガスセル10内をパージしてもよい。
前処理工程において使用する乾燥ガスの種類は、ガスセル本体、入射窓、出射窓と反応せず、且つ、含有する水の量が少なく乾燥しているガスであれば特に限定されるものではないが、水と反応しないガスが使用可能であり、例えば、窒素ガス、ヘリウム(He)、アルゴン(Ar)、酸素ガス(O2)が使用可能である。
乾燥ガスの水分量は、100体積ppm以下が好ましく、10体積ppm以下がより好ましく、1体積ppm以下がさらに好ましい。乾燥ガスは、モレキュラーシーブ、シリカゲル、活性炭等の乾燥剤に接触させて、水分量を低減することにより、製造することができる。
分析工程は、前処理工程が実施されたガスセル内に試料ガスを導入し、ラマン分光法によって不純物を検出する工程である。ラマン分光法による分析は、ガスセル10内に封入された状態の試料ガスに対して行ってもよいし、ガスセル10を流通している状態の試料ガスに対して行ってもよい。試料ガスの流量を制御する試料ガス流量制御装置3としては、一般的な流量調節器を使用することができる。
特に、励起光の光路の水の分圧を10Pa超、好ましくは100Pa以上とすることができる。すなわち、励起光の光路における水の分圧を低減する工程を実施する必要がないので、励起光の光路を収納するための密閉容器、及び、該密閉容器内の水分を低減するための高純度パージガス供給源は不要となる。
特に、ラマン散乱光の光路の水の分圧を10Pa超、好ましくは100Pa以上とすることができる。すなわち、ラマン散乱光の光路の分圧を低減する工程を実施する必要がないので、ラマン散乱光の光路における水を収納するための密閉容器、及び、該密閉容器内の水分を低減するための高純度パージガス供給源は不要となる。
試料ガスの種類は特に限定されるものではないが、水との反応性が高いフッ素化合物、塩素化合物、及び臭素化合物の少なくとも一種を含有するガスが試料ガスである場合は、本発明に係るガス分析方法を特に好適に適用することができる。
なお、試料ガスがフッ化カルボニルである場合は、ガスセル10内に水が存在していると、フッ化カルボニルと水の反応によりフッ化水素と二酸化炭素が発生するため、分析精度が低下するおそれがある。
試料ガス中に含有される不純物の種類は特に限定されるものではないが、不純物がハロゲン、ハロゲン化水素、水、二酸化炭素である場合は、本発明に係るガス分析方法を特に好適に適用することができる。ハロゲンの例としては、フッ素ガス、塩素ガス、臭素ガスが挙げられ、ハロゲン化水素の例としては、フッ化水素、塩化水素、臭化水素が挙げられる。
ただし、試料ガスが含有する上記のフッ素化合物、塩素化合物、及び臭素化合物と不純物とは、同種の化合物ではなく異種の化合物である。
<実施例1>
試料ガスをフッ化カルボニルガス、乾燥ガスをヘリウムとし、図1に示すガス分析装置と同様の構成のガス分析装置を用いて、試料ガス中に含有される不純物の定量分析を行った。
ガス分析装置が備えるラマン分光光度計は、波数532nm、最大出力10WのYAGレーザーを光源として有すると共に、F値=F/3.6のモノクロメーター分光器と、電荷結合素子を用いた光検出器を有する。
また、励起光の光路の水の分圧を、株式会社ガステック製の水蒸気検知管No.6を用いて測定したところ、1000Paであった。さらに、ラマン散乱光の光路の水の分圧を、株式会社ガステック製の水蒸気検知管No.6を用いて測定したところ、1000Paであった。
不純物量の測定後に入射窓、出射窓、及びガスセル本体の内面を観察したが、腐食は観測されなかった。
前処理工程におけるヘリウムの流通時間を30分とした点以外は実施例1と同様にして、ガスセル内のフッ化カルボニルガス中の不純物の量をラマン分光光度計で測定した。その結果、前処理工程実施後(ヘリウムの流通開始から30分後)のガスセル内の水の分圧は、6Paであった。また、分析工程における不純物の測定結果は、窒素が121体積ppm、二酸化炭素が58体積ppm、フッ化水素が23体積ppmであった。さらに、不純物量の測定後に入射窓、出射窓、及びガスセル本体の内面を観察したが、腐食は観測されなかった。
前処理工程を実施しなかった点以外は実施例1と同様にして、ガスセル内のフッ化カルボニルガス中の不純物の量をラマン分光光度計で測定した。その結果、試料ガスの導入前にガスセル内の水の分圧を測定したところ、2000Paであった。また、分析工程における不純物の測定結果は、窒素が122体積ppm、二酸化炭素が530体積ppm、フッ化水素が490体積ppmであり、測定精度の低下が確認された。さらに、不純物量の測定後に入射窓、出射窓、及びガスセル本体の内面を観察したところ、入射窓及び出射窓のくもりとガスセル本体の内面の腐食が確認された。
前処理工程におけるヘリウムの流通時間を10分とした点以外は実施例1と同様にして、ガスセル内のフッ化カルボニルガス中の不純物の量をラマン分光光度計で測定した。その結果、前処理工程実施後(ヘリウムの流通開始から10分後)のガスセル内の水の分圧は、18Paであった。また、分析工程における不純物の測定結果は、窒素が122体積ppm、二酸化炭素が85体積ppm、フッ化水素が51体積ppmであり、測定精度の低下が確認された。不純物量の測定後に入射窓、出射窓、及びガスセル本体の内面を観察したが、腐食は観測されなかった。
