Structure unit by claimed apparatus solves each the problems referred to above.
Use the cooling support, make solution become possibility from the lip-deep problem of handling that shifts out about heat.
Under the situation of not cooling off support, when the article surface that is subject to processing by ionic fluid butt joint scanned, object local heating not only can cause the variation of object geometric parameter but also being badly deformed of object can be taken place.
Under the situation of using the cooling support, for current object zone and those zones of not handling of handling, hot shifting out from object is equivalent, reason is, the faced joint of the ultra-thin shade of not handling to the cooling support and also the thermal capacitance of this type of shade little of ignoring.In fact, this means that the real of temperature equates on the whole surface of object, therefore, eliminated the distortion of article surface.
Use guarantees that the shade surface of not carrying out handling is to solve identical problem with the purpose of cooling off the clamp mechanism of thermo-contact reliably between the support.
In this device, the function of gripping unit is by one group of permanent magnet and for example be installed in the top multipole magnetic system of the cooling support of internal vacuum chamber and carry out.
This type systematic guarantee to cool off support and the article surface do not handled between thermo-contact closely, reason is, shade is made by magneticsubstance and the multipole magnetic system of closed clamp mechanism.
Thereby clamp mechanism has further increased hot shifting out from article surface, thereby has improved the processing quality of described article surface.
Ion source design is become to make its coordinate position that can change ionic fluid and shade surface (polluted surface) intersection of handling, make it possible to by ionic fluid having large-area surface, promptly big shade scans (processing) uniformly.
According to the present invention, ion source is positioned in the positioning element, and described positioning element is provided with and guarantees that positioning element and ion source together rotate to the rotating mechanism of a certain angle.In addition, Design of device also can provide the possibility of the speed of rotation that changes positioning element.
In this case, ion source is determined by the size (area) of quantity that is placed in the source in the vacuum chamber and object together with the angle of rotation of positioning element.
The possibility of adjusting the ion source angle of rotation makes that changing ionic fluid becomes possibility to the speed that article surface scans, and then when object is handled, make the temperature of the object of heating controlled and become possibility, promptly additionally reduced the temperature that the surface of handling is heated, this point prevented shade overheated, damage and distortion.
The longitudinal axis that is parallel to ion source and cooling support is provided with positioning element, makes to be treated as possibility uniformly to having large-area object.
Exist the purpose in gap also to be to address this problem between ion source and the cooling support.
Be used in the vacuum chamber and determine by the size (area) of object and the gap between cooling support and the ion source with the ionogenic quantity that object is handled.The productivity requirement of the volume and the device of vacuum chamber is directly depended in this gap.
All above-mentioned structural attitudes of device help expedite clean-up, prevent to carry out the damage and the distortion of clean Surface, and then improve the cleaning quality on pollution shade surface and the productivity of device.
In the design that is proposed, use two or more ionogenic possibilities, make and the surface is carried out even processing, expedite clean-up and scanning and is treated as possibility to having large-area object with different directions.
Be positioned at be arrangeding in parallel of two or more ionogenic positioning elements of being parallel on the same plane of object planar, together with the non-parallel setting that is positioned at the two or more ionogenic positioning elements on the different planes, make when the cleaning shade wall, improved the processing quality of all these walls considerably, wherein said wall level and upright orientation and have with shade in the suitable thickness of size in hole.
The possibility that clamp mechanism moves on perpendicular to object planar direction, the back object of having guaranteed to dispose are freely separated from the cooling support and shade shifting out from the cleaning area without barrier.
The design of contrive equipment required for protection makes it possible to implement two variants of described method.
Unique difference is such fact, and promptly when implementing the method for foundation first variant, the clamp mechanism that is adopted in the device design will not worked, and object will be very not tight also with contacting of rack surface of cooling.
Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 show the accompanying drawing of the device that is used to implement described method, and wherein said method is according to as two claimed variants of invention.
Fig. 1 shows total synoptic diagram of the device with single ionic source; Fig. 2 shows the total synoptic diagram with three ionogenic devices; Fig. 3 then is mutual vertically disposed schematic representation of apparatus for one of them source with respect to other two sources.
