Description

Target-backing plate assembly
Technical field
The present invention provides a kind of target-backing plate assembly, and said target-backing plate assembly can prolong the life-span of target and can in whole sputter procedure, make the homogeneity (homogeneity of thickness) of film even erosive difference good and that exist the kind because of target material to change also can easily produce and the inherent target corrodes corresponding high service efficiency target.
Background technology
Through the film forming method of sputter, be widely used in the manufacturing of various electronics, electric component etc.
The principle that sputtering method uses is following: make substrate as positive electrode with relative as the target of negative potential; Under inert gas atmosphere; Between this substrate and target, apply high-voltage to produce electric field, at this moment, ionized electronics and rare gas element clash into and the formation plasma body; The atom that will constitute target during positively charged ion in this plasma body bump target surperficial hits, and this atom that flies out is attached to relative substrate surface formation film.
At present, the sputter methods that are called so-called magnetron sputtering of using more.Magnetron sputtering method is that the dorsal part at target is provided with magnet; Edge and the vertical direction of electric field produce magnetic field on the target surface and the method for carrying out sputter; It has feature: in such crossed electric and magnetic field space, can realize the stabilization and the densification of plasma body, and can improve sputtering rate.
Generally speaking; In the magnetron sputtering; Thereby electronics is captured in the magnetic field sputter gas ionization effectively, still, according to the structure of magnet or kind and sputtering condition, the material of target, kind of sputter equipment etc.; The erosion that sputter hits (errosion) mode is different, can not corrode equably.This problem is not limited to magnetron sputtering method, in other sputtering method, exists too.
When the darkest place of erosion of target reached capacity, target had just lost effectiveness, the target that more renew.Generally speaking, target forms tabular or cylindric.
In addition, when deep etching was carried out in the part of target, sputter can not be carried out equably, thereby also can produce the such problem of homogeneity (homogeneity of thickness) deterioration of film.
In addition, although the thickness of target is also residual sometimes, also can lose effectiveness.This is because in the usage period of target, the such management value of the homogeneity (homogeneity of thickness) of the film of in film formation process, confirming or operation wastage rate surpasses the permissible value of certain setting.At this moment, in the time of continuing to use same target, owing to surpassed permissible value,, also need be replaced by new target even therefore residual on the target have thickness.That is, the life-span of target becomes than original weak point.
Because like this, various designs have been carried out in the structure aspects of the assembly of the structure of the structure of the planation surface of target, backing plate and target and backing plate.For example, in following patent documentation 1, proposed: cut apart in target at rectangular parallelepiped more, in the target that suffers erosion, exist under the situation of difference of height, from the target of highly high target surface to highly low face tilt.At this moment, the planation surface of target and the distance of substrate and this planation surface are inhomogeneous with the distance of the magnet at the back side that is disposed at target, therefore exist the sputter initial stage can not carry out the problem of even sputter.
In following patent documentation 2, proposed: backing plate is formed convex, and upload to put at this backing plate and cut apart target and when engaging,, the target of end is formed the target-backing plate assembly of L type in order easily to remove the joint compound between target.At this moment,, therefore exist and to control and the shape that corrodes corresponding target, and, therefore do not have versatility because backing plate is the convex of constant shape owing to be purpose only to remove joint compound easily.
In following patent documentation 3, proposed: the design of the sputtering target of inclination mode and the backing plate that is used to keep this target.At this moment, in order to prevent the skew of gravity direction, backing plate forms the dentation of geta, and target forms the shape that embeds in this convex.At this moment, do not design especially yet, can not control and the shape that corrodes corresponding target for the service efficiency (utilising efficiency) that improves target.In addition, because backing plate also has special shape, therefore there is the problem of no versatility.
In following patent documentation 4, the service efficiency that improves target is designed.At this moment, the section of the planation surface of target forms the type of falling M.The problem that occurs in the case is: since initial stage planation surface and substrate and not parallel with the magnet of the rear side that is disposed at target, the problem that the particle that flies when therefore from the initial stage to the mid-term, having sputter becomes irregular (becoming then).
In following patent documentation 5, the bottom surface of target is crooked, and the upper surface of backing plate is with the form formation depression of the bottom surface of cooperation target.At this moment, also considered the service efficiency of target, still, target and backing plate all have special shape, therefore have the problem complicated, that cost is high of making, and in addition, because backing plate has special shape, therefore have the problem of no versatility.
In following patent documentation 6, be the target of collar plate shape equally, backing plate also is a collar plate shape, and for can their location of visual inspection, is formed with concavo-convex along the shape of the circumference of disk.Because target and backing plate all have special shape, therefore there is the problem complicated, that cost is high of making, in addition,, therefore there is the problem of no versatility because backing plate has special shape.
In following patent documentation 7,, be logged into aspect " target that target thickness is increased " also effective like Fig. 3 (a) or (c).But, its particle of pointing out that the target (initial stage planation surface and substrate and with the uneven target of the magnet of the rear side that is disposed at target) of this shape flies when having sputter problem of irregular (becoming then) that becomes.That is, though service efficiency is high, also can estimate to exist following problem: the variation of the film forming speed during target uses is big, and arcing produces often, and the process loss rate is high.
In addition, in this patent documentation 7, put down in writing Fig. 3 (a) and (b) with (c) in any target 1 all be not to join on the cooled plate 2 but target 1 is fixed to the embodiment that uses on the cooled plate 2 through support.According to this method; For the stupalith that has with the approaching thermal conductivity of ITO; Under the incomplete situation of adaptation of cooled plate (backing plate) and support, exist because the cooling in the sputter is insufficient, therefore produce the break high problem of possibility of such fault of target.
Can find out according to above content; For existing sputtering target; The problem that do not design is considered in existence from following viewpoint: the service efficiency of target is high, just can carry out uniform sputter since the sputter at initial stage, and target is simple shape, easy making with backing plate.In addition, also there is problems such as producing arcing.

Embodiment
A kind of magnetron sputtering is with target-backing plate assembly.Target can be applied to various targets such as rectangle, circle, ellipse, the not special restriction of shape.In magnetron sputtering, in order to improve sputtering yield, the distributed magnet at the back side of target still, can produce the part that receives strong erosion and do not receive strong erosion according to the configuration of magnet or the intensity of magneticline of force.
This depends on sputter equipment, and still, target-backing plate assembly need have can tackle this situation, can carry out stable sputter, and can make the more uniform structure of homogeneity of film.
But as substruction, the distance of the magnet at the planation surface that needs target and the back side that is disposed at target and the substrate surface relative with target is constant respectively.
On the other hand, as stated, produce the part that receives the part of strong erosion and do not receive strong erosion, still, receive the life-span of the position decision target of strong erosion.
But,, also require to improve the whole service efficiency of target even under these circumstances.About existing sputtering target, the technology with the position thickening that receives strong erosion of target has been proposed.But at this moment, have following problem: because the distance between target and substrate is non-constant, therefore particularly at the sputter initial stage, the homogeneity of film is unstable.
In view of such problem, in the application's invention, target is so that the mode that the position that suffers erosion owing to sputter thickens has the concaveconvex shape that thickness is changed in backing plate face side.At this moment, importantly introduce the pad that comprises conductive material at backing plate and thin portion with the target between the target of concaveconvex shape.When the material of pad was used with backing plate material of the same race, can not be a problem especially in the adaptation aspect, and evaporation efficiency is also equal, therefore can be described as suitable material.
, existed under the concavo-convex situation in the past, formed and this concavo-convex corresponding concavo-convex (anti-concavo-convex) at the face of the upside of backing plate at the lower surface of target.But the making that there is backing plate in this situation is complicated problems very.But, in the application's invention, only be to introduce pad, therefore have the unusual effect that can eliminate the complexity in the backing plate making fully.
Look, look like the distortion of backing plate, but do not have the target-backing plate assembly of this structure in the past.Think that the understanding that target and backing plate are necessary for one is its reason.
But the application's invention has solved this problem through a large amount of experiments through introducing pad.In addition; Target of the present invention is so that the mode that the position that suffers erosion owing to sputter thickens has the concaveconvex shape that thickness is changed in backing plate face side; And, therefore can obtain the effect that has good uniformity of film from the sputter initial stage to mid-term owing to being planeform in sputter initial stage sputter face.
In addition, target of the present invention from mid-term to latter stage, compare with concavo-convex target is set on planation surface, also can obtain the homogeneity deterioration demulcent effect of film.It is thus clear that, the target of the application invention from the sputter initial stage to latter stage, compare with concavo-convex target is set on the planation surface of target, the homogeneity of film is all good especially.
In addition; The present invention is in target-backing plate assembly; Expectation: the bottom in the both sides of the length direction of target, from the position more than the planation surface 0.5mm of the target after finally suffering erosion, towards the edge part of the both sides of the length direction of target and the bottom of target; And junction surface as the backing plate of the lower surface of target between, form notch portion.
Like this, making the effect that is produced aspect target-backing plate assembly be: it is extremely easy that target is carried the operation that places on the backing plate and weld.As a result, though target-backing plate assembly adopts this structure,, can not cause obstacle to spatter film forming thus.
In this target-backing plate assembly, target can form two and cut apart the above target of cutting apart, and can make the target-backing plate assembly of long size thus.The advantage that has in addition is that the processing ease of target, backing plate, each personal solder bonds of pad carries out, and the application's invention just can provide this target-backing plate assembly.As scolder, not special restriction can be used low-melting scolders such as indium.
In target-backing plate assembly of the present invention,, can use indium, tin, aluminium, copper, tantalum, titanium, nickel, cobalt, ruthenium, tungsten, rhodium or their alloy or oxide compound as sputtering target.Be particularly suitable for making ITO display materials such as (oxide compounds of indium and tin) and use target.In addition, as pad, so long as conductive material then can be used, special expectation is copper, aluminium, titanium, molybdenum or their alloy.
In addition, this pad also can use the material with the backing plate homogeneity as stated.In addition, for adaptation or the evaporation efficiency that increases pad and target or backing plate, also can carry out bottoming such as plating or ion plating and handle.The application's invention comprises these aspects.Pad also has the effect that prevents that target from tilting at backing plate.
In target-backing plate assembly, can be set at identical with the target at thin position and the aggregate thickness of pad the thickness of the target at thick position.
This be because: can prepare the different a plurality of shims of size, regulate arbitrarily.In addition, can easily to make the medullary ray target with respect to the long side direction of target be asymmetrical target-backing plate assembly in the present invention.This be equally because: can prepare the different a plurality of shims of size, can regulate arbitrarily thus.This is a notable feature of the present invention.
The remarkable advantage that has thus is: can be applied to the flat plate of the constant thickness of backing plate, need the shape of backing plate not designed.In addition, also can use the thickness at the both ends of the length direction of backing plate only littler naturally, and have the simple backing plate of the discrepancy in elevation on the border of thickness than other thickness.The application's invention comprises these aspects.
When making erosion profile target of the present invention, can use flat target to carry out sputter in advance, investigate the erosion shape and the degree of depth of this moment, and regulate the thickness of target based on this.
Thus, even the erosive that exists the kind because of target material to change is different, also can corrodes and easily produce high service efficiency target according to the inherent target.
Target-backing plate assembly of the present invention, the advantage that has is: the life-span of making extremely easily and can prolong this target.In addition, the excellent results that has is: in sputter initial stage and whole sputter procedure, can make having good uniformity of film, and the generation of powder is few.In addition, the unusual effect that has is: even the erosive that exists the kind because of target material to change is different, also can corrodes and easily produce high service efficiency target according to the inherent target.
