Description

Rotary cylindrical magnetron sputtering target
Technical field
The present invention relates to the large-area coating film rotary cylindrical magnetron sputtering target, be widely used in preparing in the equipment of coating, belong to the film preparing technology field.
Background technology
Present magnetron sputtering equipment both domestic and external, the structural shape of its sputtering source target mainly contains two kinds of coaxial magnetron sputtering target and plane magnetic controlled sputtering targets, coaxial magnetron sputtering target is to be provided with annular permanent-magnet body and pole shoe (magnetic conduction pad) formation in the cast sputter material, form the gapped ring-type glow discharge zone of several and target axis normal during sputter, when being coated with large area substrates (as cladding glass), form the alternate striped of thickness inevitably, cause serious membrane thickness unevenness, influence quality product.Plane magnetic controlled sputtering target adopts the bar-shaped magnet structure, forms the strip aura district parallel with the target axis during sputter, has alleviated preferably by the membrane thickness unevenness phenomenon on the plating matrix, makes coating even, has guaranteed quality product.But, make target utilization extremely low because the target surface etching region concentrates on the rectangle frame.
Magnetron sputtering target is one of main device in the large-area vacuum filming equipment, needs insulating compound films such as a large amount of deposition oxides, nitride in the modern optical conductive film product, so widespread use intermediate frequency reaction magnetocontrol sputtering technology.What use in the vacuum coating film equipment now mainly is plane magnetic controlled sputtering target, and its permanent magnet and target all are actionless, and the etched area of target is a fixed like this, therefore, during using planar magnetron sputtering target deposition of insulative material film, the utilization ratio of target is very low, can only reach 40% at most usually.Along with the etching of target is more and more darker, the sputter rate of target and the homogeneity of film are all influential, are unfavorable for the deposition of high quality function film; And because the existence of the non-etched area of target, insulating material can be deposited on non-etched area surface in coating process, cause a large amount of electronics in last accumulation, cause the target surface starting the arc, light then cause the pollution of deposit film, heavy then cause the unstable of sputter procedure even stop.
In Chinese patent ZL89215781.X and ZL95219498.8, disclose a kind of column-shape magnetron sputtering target, had some vertical bar shaped permanent magnets to be parallel to target in its target and be axially placed on the matrix, during work, target rotation and permanent magnet does not change, otherwise or.Usually strip permanent magnet is made up of the little strip permanent magnet of multistage, embed successively and form whole strip permanent magnet in the pole shoe, strip permanent magnet must occur in pairs, wherein the N utmost point of each permanent magnet is opposite with S utmost point placement direction, be that certain vertical bar shaped permanent magnet N is extremely outside, S is extremely inside, then its adjacent vertical bar shaped permanent magnet must be that S is extremely outside, N is extremely inside, strip permanent magnet one end has annular permanent magnet simultaneously, be that strip permanent magnet one end links to each other with annular permanent magnet, the other end is unsettled, strip permanent magnet is the initial point symmetric form with the annular permanent magnet mode of linking to each other, and could form closed flux loop.The glow discharge zone that produces between strip permanent magnet and the annular permanent magnet is very wide, illustrate that target is strong in this regional sputter ability, so the etching speed at target two ends is faster than the target stage casing, transverse concave groove can appear in the two ends at target, the target two ends do not participate in the sputter part, thereby cause scrapping too early of target, reduced the utilization ratio of target, caused waste.
U.S. Pat 2005/0189218A1 discloses a kind of rotational circle column type target structure, uses the cathode arc power supply to deposit, because the magnetic field structure restriction, this rotational circle column type target structure is difficult to adopt the densification of magnetron sputtering technique depositional texture, ganoid coating.Sputtering technology can satisfy the needs of preparation different performance coating, the basis of sputter procedure is working gas (being generally argon gas) glow discharge, between the anode of cathode targets that applies high negative voltage and ground connection, there is an electric field, near the negative electrode unbound electron under electric field action towards anode accelerated motion, under certain argon gas density, the neutral argon gas atmo of ionization becomes the argon gas ion of positively charged, discharge secondary electron simultaneously, the argon gas ion of positively charged is under electric field action, towards the negative electrode accelerated motion that applies high negative voltage, when the argon gas ion energy is higher than the cathode targets atomic binding energy, target atom is bombarded, move on the workpiece to be plated that is placed on target opposite or circumference and form film, this calls sputter coating.Because the running orbit of electronics is shorter, the ionization level of argon gas is very low, causes sputter rate lower.
Therefore, designing a kind of novel rotary cylindrical magnetron sputtering target, will be an important technology problem that is worth research.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, a kind of novel rotary cylindrical magnetron sputtering target is provided, form the electronics runway of a closure in the time of can guaranteeing glow discharge, sputter is stablized carry out, improve the utilization ratio of target, improve the quality of deposit film.
