Summary of the invention
Recently, develop a kind of as being represented that by Fig. 1 the discharge vessel 1 of the quartz system of square box shape is made into extremely long Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp.In this discharge vessel 1, the height up and down of cross section is ten number mm, about amplitude be the thin deltiod of tens of mm, its longitudinally length have more than the 1m unexpectedly.Discharge vessel 1 is exactly by the two ends of the synthetic quartz glass pipe of such length being stopped up firmly, in the inner filling xenon and manufactured.
In this discharge vessel 1, by on smooth and below each self-forming mode pattern metallic film and with as electrode.The top electrode of discharge vessel 1 almost is formed into and covers on this smooth surface comprehensively.On the other hand, the electrode of bottom is made into cancellous pattern figure, and vacuum ultraviolet just shines the below from the gap of this mesh.Because vacuum ultraviolet by oxygen absorption, is decayed rapidly in air, and only can be arrived very short distance.
For example, the vacuum ultraviolet of wavelength 172nm can only shine the following distance of 10mm.Therefore, shine broad area, then need to make it to have the smooth surface irradiation of maximum area from discharge vessel 1 for making from the vacuum ultraviolet of Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp radiation.Thereby the electrode of bottom is made into mesh-shape, and vacuum ultraviolet just shines downwards from the gap of these electrodes.According to such radiation modality, then do not need to open 2001-243920 number as the spy of the patent disclosure communique that is recorded in Japan, in lamp house, fill not active gases, or use quartz glass plate in the lamp house front.
The Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp of in above-mentioned background technology, being put down in writing, adopted netted, wire, tabular, or the metal of tubulose etc. is as electrode.Particularly, on the ultraviolet irradiation face of discharge vessel 1, adopt the electrode of netted or wire, ultraviolet ray irradiates from the gap of this net or line.
Use netted, wire, tabular, or during the electrode of tubulose etc., its problem is at electrode and forms in the minim gap between the electrolyte of discharge vessel 1 and produce sparkover.Because this sparkover, electrode substance will disperse (sputter) and cause the stained of light transmission window, thus absorbing light.Therefore, produce the problem that ultraviolet delivery efficiency descends.In a word, if see through under the situation that forms electrode on the face, then can not keep ultraviolet delivery efficiency not descend for a long time in the ultraviolet ray of discharge vessel 1.
As the method for the problem that solves such sparkover, can consider to use evaporation, means such as sputter or ion plating directly form membrane electrode on discharge vessel 1.Electrode with said method forms because do not produce the gap between discharge vessel 1 and electrode, and can suppress the generation of spark.
Owing to synthetic quartz glass has the material that outstanding vacuum ultraviolet transmissivity is used as discharge vessel 1, yet, since the metal that forms with evaporation and sputtering method therewith quartz glass adhesion strength extremely a little less than, and make and be very easy to peel off with the membrane electrode of above-mentioned gimmick formation.
The present invention carries out at above-mentioned problem, and purpose is to provide a kind of Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp that is difficult to the membrane electrode that peels off from discharge vessel that possesses.
Invention 1 of the present invention, possesses the discharge vessel that constitutes by electrolyte, above-mentioned discharge vessel inside has been enclosed is used for the luminous discharge gas of Excimer gas molecular, it is characterized in that on the outer surface of above-mentioned discharge vessel, disposing the electrode that has 2 layers of conducting film at least, among the above-mentioned 2 layers conducting film, contain chromium at the layer that is arranged in discharge vessel one side.
According to the 1st invention,, and make electrode be combined on the discharge vessel very doughtily because the being adjacent to property of chromium that layer contained that is arranged in discharge vessel one side among 2 layers of conducting film and discharge vessel is strong.
Invention 2 of the present invention, relevant with invention 1, it is characterized in that above-mentioned electrode is formed the film of gapped figure, ultraviolet ray can see through that gap.
According to invention 2, can by methods such as evaporation and sputter form on the ultraviolet irradiation face of discharge vessel and discharge vessel between the electrode that is difficult to peel off very close to each other.Its result, by suppressing discharge vessel and interelectrode sparkover and follow ultraviolet penetrating window stained in this, but the high ultraviolet delivery efficiency of long term maintenance.
Invention 3 of the present invention, relevant with invention 1, it is characterized in that above-mentioned discharge vessel contains synthetic quartz glass.In the past, Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp can not be combined on the discharge vessel that is made of synthetic quartz glass very doughtily with metal film electrode.Inventors find can be combined in Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp very doughtily on the discharge vessel that is made of synthetic quartz glass with metal film electrode by chrome-containing layer is set first.
According to invention 3, can make the strong adhesion strength that obtains discharge vessel and electrode, and the ultraviolet high delivery efficiency that comes from the outstanding vacuum ultraviolet transmissivity of synthetic quartz glass is killed two birds with one stone.
Invention 4 of the present invention is relevant with invention 1, it is characterized in that in above-mentioned 2 layers conducting film, in the layer away from discharge vessel one side, contains at least a platinum that is selected from, palladium, gold, or the element of nickel.
When vacuum ultraviolet when irradiation that is come from Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp, produce ozone with oxygen reaction on every side the atmosphere.In the former example, quilts such as aluminium are used as the electrode of Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp, the problem of existence be since kind electrode to the chemical instability of ozone and deterioration.For such problem, can consider to use to the stable platinum of ozone chemistry, palladium, gold, or nickel is as electrode material.
Yet the bad material of the adherence of these and synthetic quartz glass failed to be used for the membrane electrode of Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp in the past.Inventors find that in wide variety of materials chromium is suitable for conduct and platinum, palladium, gold, or nickel, and all good material of both sides' adherence of synthetic quartz glass.According to invention 4, can make with the adhesion strength of discharge vessel and electrode by force, and the good chemical stability two of electrode pair ozone is upright.If can use platiniferous, palladium, gold, or the layer that contains nickel covers the layer contain chromium fully then can suppress the deterioration that the oxidation etc. of chromium causes significantly.
Invention 5 of the present invention be and the 1st, 2,3, or 4 invention is relevant, it is characterized in that at least one side in the above-mentioned 2 layers conductive film, forms with ion plating method or sputtering method.
Inventors, by very many result of experiment, discovery is in a lot of methods, and ion plating and sputtering method are better than the conducting film that contains chromium is combined on the discharge vessel of Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp especially, and the 2nd conductive film are combined on the conductive film that contains chromium again.And inventors find, if reference ion plating method and sputtering method, the bond strength of the conducting film that the employing ion plating method is made is then more excellent.
As mentioned above,, can be combined in the conducting film that contains chromium very doughtily on the discharge vessel of Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp according to invention 5, and, can be combined in the 2nd conducting film very doughtily on the conducting film that contains chromium.
In the present invention, the thickness 0.2 μ m of electrode is above for well.The thin resistance that then causes of electrode becomes big problem.Particularly for applying high-tension Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp, if its electrode is thin, then the heating of electrode becomes big, finally can produce broken string sometimes, and sparkover etc. make the life-span of lamp reduce.Because the thickness of electrode is made for more than the 0.2 μ m, the heating of electrode is suppressed, and the deterioration of close property is inhibited, and the life-span of lamp then improves.
The opening ultraviolet lamp of irradiation ultraviolet radiation in air because the distance of discharge vessel and shone thing is in 10mm, and with about 3mm for well, so below the preferred 1mm of the thickness of electrode.When electrode is to use evaporation, sputter, or ion plating method is when forming, below the preferred 10 μ m of the thickness of electrode.If electrode is too thick, because more than the formation spended time of electrode etc., cost up caused.When using evaporation, sputter, or the method for ion plating is when forming electrode, and the thickness of electrode is more preferably below the 1 μ m.Owing to thickness is located at below the 1 μ m, can suppresses to chap on the electrode.
The thickness that contains the conducting film of chromium, preferred 0.01 μ m-0.1 μ m.If too thin, then the binding ability of itself and discharge vessel reduces, and is too thick, because the resistivity of chromium produces the problem of all conductivity reductions of electrode greatly.
In order to make electrode that sufficient conductivity all be arranged, in 2 layers of conducting film that invention 1 of the present invention is put down in writing, using the material higher from the layer of a discharge vessel side far away is preferred, and the layer of a discharge vessel side far away is with thicker in good than chrome-containing layer than the conductance of chromium.Being formed by the metal than chromium good conductivity mostly of thickness of electrode is then better.
At electrode surface, to be provided with the electrode protection material for well.By protective material is set, the corrosion of the oxidation of electrode etc. is suppressed, and improves the life-span of lamp.The thickness of electrode protection material, with below the 0.2 μ m more than the 0.05 μ m for well.The material of the protective material of electrode, preferred MgF 2And SiO 2These materials, ultraviolet transmittance is good, mechanical strength and outstanding to the chemical stability of oxygen and ozone etc.Particularly, Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp, the distance that is used to its discharge vessel and shone thing is under the airborne situation of the very near position below the 10mm, and is very effective to the deterioration that suppresses electrode by the electrode protection material is set.

Embodiment
Below, be illustrated with regard to example of the present invention with reference to figure.
What Fig. 1-Fig. 3 showed is an example of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is the oblique view that has omitted the Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp of long size pars intermedia.Fig. 2 is the vertical section figure that has omitted the Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp of long pars intermedia.Fig. 3 is the vertical section enlarged drawing that is formed at the electrode 3 on the outer surface of discharge vessel 1 of Fig. 2.
Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp with the discharge vessel 1 of the square box shape that adopts the long size of fore-and-aft direction is an example, and this example is described.As shown in Figures 1 and 2, be the both ends open portion of cornue 1a of square synthetic quartz glass system of growing crosswise at cross section, be welded with front and back wallboard 1b respectively with the identical shaped substantially synthetic quartz glass system of cornue 1a cross section.So, the both ends open portion of cornue 1a is blocked, has just formed discharge vessel 1.
Cornue 1a, the height that is the above-below direction of cross section is 12mm, and the amplitude of left and right directions is 30mm, and the length of fore-and-aft direction is the rectangular tube of 1100mm.In a word, this cornue 1a is to be made of the relative up and down smooth last lower wall panels smooth left and right sides wallboard relative with left and right directions.On the wallboard 1b of the front and back of the both ends open portion that is welded on this cornue 1a, be respectively arranged with little apicule pipe 1c in advance.
This little apicule pipe 1c is that its quilt of pipe of synthetic quartz glass system is welded in outside adding on the wallboard 1b of front and back highlightedly.In its pipe, communicate with the open pore that is pre-formed at the central part substantially of front and back wallboard 1b.The outside of lower wall panels on cornue 1a is formed with the metallic film as electrode 2,3.The formation of this metallic film is before being welded on cornue 1a both ends open portion to front and back wallboard 1b or thereafter can.
Electrode 2, by film forming in almost cover above the cornue 1a on the panel surfaces comprehensively.Electrode 3, film forming are on cornue 1a lower wall panels, and it is made into the mesh-shape pattern and covers the bottom substantially comprehensively.
Fig. 3 has shown the sectional drawing of electrode 3.Electrode 2 and 3 any one all be, form earlier the 1st layer chromium film 3a, continue to form the 2nd layer nickel film 3b then.
These films are by forming metal evaporation on the synthetic quartz glass surface.These films especially preferably form with ion plating method or sputtering method.If reference ion plating method and sputtering method, more preferably ion plating method then.In plasma space, the metal bump glass surface that is ionized, and be combined in formation film on glass forcefully.The mesh-shape pattern of electrode 3 is after the 2nd layer of formation, adopts etching method to form need not partly removing.
In the electrode 2, on cornue 1a, form thick chromium layer and the thick nickel dam of 0.35 μ m of 0.05 μ m on almost all surfaces of wallboard.In the electrode 3, the pattern of the almost holomorphism ramify shape bottom this cornue 1a lower wall panels, it is identical with electrode 2, and chromium layer and the 0.35 μ m thick nickel dam thick by 0.05 μ m form.Therefore, the thickness of electrode, the both sides of electrode 2 and electrode 3 are 0.4 μ m.
And,, be formed the magnesium fluoride layer as electrode protection material 4 on the surface of electrode 2 and electrode 3.Electrode protection material 4 for example, can adopt and shelter not wanting the position, and the evaporation magnesium fluoride makes it be formed at necessary position again.As the forming method of electrode protection material 4, vacuum evaporation, ion plating method or sputtering method etc. all can use, and but, is optimum because of vacuum vapour deposition cheap for manufacturing cost.
In this example, electrode 2 and electrode 3 both sides are formed the electrode protection material 4 of the thick magnesium fluoride of 0.1 μ m.As the material of electrode protection material 4, except magnesium fluoride, can use silicon dioxide (SiO 2).For electrode 2 and electrode 3 are not exposed, preferably electrode protection material 4 is covered in electrode 2 and electrode 3 comprehensively.
Filling discharge and use gas to discharge vessel 1 is inner, is by from the little apicule pipe 1c deaeration of a side time, injects to discharge from the little apicule pipe 1c of opposite side to be accomplished with gas.After this, the point of both sides' little apicule pipe 1c dissolved seal and make and to be sealed, and finish the filling of discharge with gas.When being installed on the equipment by lamp, little apicule pipe 1c also can be used as the support sector of lamp.In this example, xenon is used as discharge and uses gas filling in discharge vessel 1 the inside.Its result, the Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp of this example can radiate, and centre wavelength is the high energy vacuum ultraviolet of 172nm.
According to the Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp of above-mentioned formation, because the electrode that forms on the discharge vessel surface is to form nickel dam between the chromium layer that outstanding adhesion is arranged of following discharge vessel, the adhesion on this electrode and discharge vessel surface strengthens.This is because the both sides of chromium and synthetic quartz glass and nickel have outstanding adhesion.As a comparative example, except the electrode (thickness 0.4 μ m) that has chrome-containing layer not and only be made of nickel dam, all this example with above-mentioned is identical for other, and has made Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp.
On the electrode film of the both sides' of this example and comparative example Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp, be carved into the slit of go plate-like, stick thereon when peeling again after the adhesive tape, observe electrode film and whether peel off, be the crosscut disbonded test from discharge vessel.Know that from its result be separated with the electrode of this example of chromium layer, the electrode than comparative example is combined on the discharge vessel more strongly.
In life test, the Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp of this example, longer than the life-span of the Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp of comparative example.Simultaneously, by changing the chromium layer, the thickness of nickel dam and electrode carries out life test in this example, as can be known the thickness of electrode more than 0.2 μ m for well, the thickness of chromium layer with below the 0.1 μ m more than the 0.01 μ m for well.
And, come coated electrode by adopting the electrode protection material of forming by magnesium fluoride, improved the life-span of Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp.And know the thickness of leading this electrode protection material, with below the 0.2 μ m more than the 0.05 μ m for well.
In above-mentioned example, nickel is used as the 2nd layer, but, uses platinum, palladium, and gold, or silver has also obtained same effect.
In above-mentioned example, though show be discharge vessel 1 by front and back wallboard 1b, and the square box shape of the length of 1b and dihedral pipe 1a is not limited only to this.Open the cylindrical duct of the dual structure of 2001-243920 number record for the spy of the open communique of Japan Patent, packing in the cylindrical duct of minor diameter is arranged discharges uses the discharge vessel of gas, and the spy of the open communique of Japan Patent opens the discharge vessel etc. of the square box shape of 2000-260396 number record, and the present invention is also effective.
In above-mentioned example, demonstration be to form with little apicule pipe 1c to be connected in towards the opening of discharge vessel 1 inside, but, with other tubing or merely to form open pore also passable.Open pore is used to filling discharge gas.For not hindering ultraviolet irradiation, open pore, with on the wallboard beyond the wallboard that is arranged on ultraviolet direct projection direction for well.
In above-mentioned example, demonstration be that front and back sidewall paneling 1b is welded on cornue 1a openings at two ends portion, make discharge vessel 1 therefrom, but, the method for production of discharge vessel 1 is not limited to this.
For example, also can be welded on the both ends open portion of cross section to front and back wallboard 1b for the oval bobbin of the wide square synthetic quartz glass of horizontal stroke.In addition, also be shaped to the cylinder tubulose, cornue 1a two ends are melted the thing that envelope is ended.In discharge vessel 1, the last lower wall panels that forms electrode 2,3 is smooth and parallel the getting final product of cardinal principle on a large scale.Therefore, for example (,) the left and right sides wallboard of the container of cylinder tubulose to bend to the semicircle tubular also passable, for example fusion sealing front and rear side wallboard also can because of the fusion bending again.
In addition, even, also can obtain the effect same with the present invention welding respectively and make under the discharge vessel situation with 6 blocks of synthetic quartz glass sheet materials.In this case, because of each wallboard is made of different sheet material, can change to ultraviolet transmittance or the high material of reflectivity to wallboard arbitrarily.
In above-mentioned example, demonstration be that whole wallboards of discharge vessel 1 are made of synthetic quartz glass.Yet the wallboard beyond the wallboard of the irradiation usefulness that ultraviolet ray sees through is so long as electrolyte may not be used synthetic quartz glass.
Above-mentioned example is to be that the vacuum ultraviolet Excimer gas molecular discharging lamp of 172nm is the explanation that example is done with the radiation wavelength, and but, the present invention is not limited thereto.In addition, for example use gas as discharge, also can demonstrate the effect same with the present invention with KrI and ArF.If during with KrI then radiate 191nm, then radiate the vacuum ultraviolet of 193nm wavelength with ArF.
In above-mentioned example, on discharge vessel, be formed with the electrode of forming by layers 1 and 2, but, electrode of the present invention may not be defined in 2 layers of structure.For example, between layers 1 and 2, or the 2nd layer with the 1st a layer of opposite side, can be provided with the 3rd layer, also can be made into electrode with the multi-ply construction more than 3 layers.
In above-mentioned example, electrode 2 and electrode 3 all are 2 layers of structures, but, may not be necessary that a both sides makes 2 layers of structure.For example, can only make 2 layers of structure to the electrode 3 of ultraviolet irradiation aspect.By adopting chrome-containing layer, electrode is combined in this effect on the discharge vessel very doughtily, no matter be the electrode of ultraviolet irradiation face, also is that the electrode of non-ultraviolet irradiation face all can obtain equally.Therefore, very thin light electrode as discharge vessel such advantage of adhering very doughtily, even the electrode of ultraviolet irradiation aspect, whether even the electrode of ultraviolet irradiation aspect can obtain too.
Yet, in non-irradiation ultraviolet radiation one side, if use netted, wire, tabular, or during the electrode of tubulose etc., even at electrode and form between minim gap between the electrolyte of discharge vessel and produce sparkover, produce dispersing (sputter) and stained light transmission window of electrode substance, also do not have the problem of ultraviolet delivery efficiency decline and so on.
Relative therewith, in ultraviolet irradiation one side, cause the stained of light transmission window, the serious problems that then exist ultraviolet delivery efficiency to reduce if use the electrode of netted or wire.In a word, the present invention of application and ultraviolet irradiation one side makes the adhesion that prevents the stained of light transmission window and enhanced film electrode pair discharge vessel obtain two first and stands.Therefore, the present invention is applied to the electrode of ultraviolet irradiation one side of discharge vessel, than being used for not irradiation ultraviolet radiation side, in the industrial significance that has more.
The application, on September 20th, 2002 was applied patent in Japan, served as that the spy is willing to that the patent application of 2002-275489 is as the basis with the application number.Record and narrate according to this, special full content of being willing to the specification of 2002-275489 is used as citing document and inserts this specification.
