A kind of reaction and plasma spraying is prepared the method for boron carbide coating
Technical field
The present invention relates to plasma spraying technology field, be specifically related to a kind of gas-phase reaction plasmaThe method of boron carbide coating is prepared in spraying.
Background technology
At present, low temperature plasma fine machining method is the key technology of material micro-nano processing,It is the basis of the technologies of preparing such as microelectronics, photoelectron, micromechanics, micro-optics, particularly existsIn super large-scale integration manufacturing process, having nearly 1/3rd operation is by means of plasmaBody machines, as plasma foil deposition, plasma etching and removing of photoresist by plasmaDeng. One of technological process that wherein plasma etching is most critical is to realize ultra-large collectionBecome circuit produce in Micropicture with high fidelity from Lithographic template transfer to silicon chip can notAlternative technique.
In etching process, owing to having a large amount of activity with severe corrosive freelyBase, the inner surface in their article on plasma etching technics chambeies also can produce corrosiveness, causes pollution,Affect etching effect, and can make etching technics chamber lose efficacy. The plasma of the early stage ninetiesEtching apparatus, the in the situation that of smaller power and single plasma-generating source, at aluminum substrate layerOn add Al2O3Coating just can meet the etch damage of plasma to etching technics chamber. EnterTo 300mm equipment, along with plasma power is increasing, plasma is to etching technics chamberThe damage of wall is also increasing, makes, in the process of etching, following problem easily occurs: (1)Grain; (2) process cavity wall disbonding, causes plasma directly and aluminum substrate is had an effect;(3)Al2O3The life-span of parts is subject to more high-power restriction. So need to find a kind ofNew approach carries out modification to etching technics inner cavity surface, meets the needs of etching technics.
Research shows, Y2O3Coating has good protective effect to etching technics chamber. With Al2O3Compare Y2O3Chemical property highly stable, there is excellent resistance to plasma etching performance,And and CF is the product YF that gas generates3Steam forces down, and is difficult to disperse as particle.At present, with Y2O3Powder, as sprayed on material, utilizes air plasma spraying method, is carvingEtching technique inner cavity surface is prepared the Y of single structure2O3Corrosion-resistant finishes is that one generally adoptsMethod.
Than Y2O3, boron carbide (B4C) have more potentiality. Have superhard, high-melting-point,The a series of good physical such as density is low. Also have excellent chemical stability simultaneously, can supportAntiacid, caustic corrosion, and do not soak and have an effect with most of motlten metals. Therefore carbonizationBoron is again good corrosion-resistant material, for the processing of acid and alkali resistance parts. Due to boron carbideThe compatibility of material and semiconductor technology is good, is therefore suitable as very much the resistance to of semiconductor partsCorrosion resistant coating.
Preparation B4The main method of C coating has: chemical vapour deposition (CVD) (CVD), reaction-sintered andPlasma spraying etc. Air plasma spraying is to use N2、Ar、H2And He etc. is as ionGas, produces plasma high temperature and high speed jet through ionization, and input material fusing or melting are ejected intoWorking surface forms the method for coating. Plasma-arc extreme temperatures wherein, enough melts instituteSome high-melting-point ceramic powders. In air plasma spraying technique, gaseous environment can be to coatingFinal performance has impact significantly. The selection principle of gas is mainly to consider practicality and warpJi property. Concrete requirement is: (1) stable performance, not with sprayed on material generation adverse reaction;(2) heat content is high, is suitable for refractory material, but should be too high and ablation nozzle; (3) shouldThere is not the gas of chemical action in selection and electrode or nozzle; (4) with low cost, supply is convenient.
Jet temperature is high, coating layer thickness is controlled owing to having for plasma spraying, bond strength high withAnd the feature such as easy to operate, be preparation B4The effective ways of C coating. But, B4C is in sprayingIn process, have the problem such as high-temperature oxydation and gasification, air plasma spraying can not be prepared performanceGood B4C coating. There is research to adopt a kind of extraordinary resist technology, under inert gas shieldingCarry out plasma spraying, although obtained B4C coating, but in coating, still there is small partOxidation product. Therefore need the more suitably method of finding to prepare B4The C ceramic coating of resistance to erosion.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides a kind of preparation method of boron carbide coating of abrasion resistant and corrosion resistant performance.
