There is a problem the biggest in existing this reaction sputtering system, it may be assumed that for some electric conductivity ratios Poor compound-material, along with the increase of reacting gas, on a part of compound meeting backwash to target, shape Become the thin film that one layer of electric conductivity is poor, this reduce sputtering current, reduce sputtering rate.Sputtering electricity The reduction of stream promotes reacting gas dividing potential drop to increase further, thus the compound that result in more conduction difference is thin Film is formed on target, so that sputtering current reduces further, forms vicious cycle, ultimately results in sputtering Technique stops.So using traditional reaction sputtering system to have sizable limitation, even cannot obtain The thin film of required metal state composition.
Below to prepare vanadium dioxide (VO2) further illustrate as a example by thin film and use tradition reaction sputtering system Limitation.Generally target uses pure vanadium metal target, utilizes argon (Ar) as carrier gas, then is passed through O2Make For reacting gas.At certain temperature and plasma sputtering environment, reacting gas O2Vanadium with ionic state In conjunction with, the oxide forming vanadium is deposited on wafer.Tetravalent oxide vanadium dioxide (the VO of vanadium2) in room temperature Under there is higher resistance coefficient (Temperature Coefficient ofResistivity is called for short TCR) and relatively Low resistivity, is a kind of splendid material making micrometer bolometer, so the main mesh of usual technique Be obtain highly purified VO2Thin film.
Fig. 1 illustrates and above-mentioned prepares vanadium dioxide (VO2) schematic diagram of an experimental result of thin film.Experiment In, according to certain time interval, inject different reaction gas flows in the different time respectively.Just open The time begun, reacting gas is zero, and the corresponding material sputtered out is pure vanadium metal, corresponding chemical valence Position is 0 valency;After 10th second, change reaction gas flow, sputter out for monovalence barium oxide, instead Should result stablize;After 20th second, again changing reaction gas flow, sputter out aoxidizes for bivalent vanadium Thing, reaction result is stable;By that analogy;But after the 40th second, change reaction gas flow, sputtering Result is the most stable, and time initial, chemical composition is tetravalent vanadium compound, increases over time, several seconds with Rear compound just becomes the pentavalent oxide of vanadium, i.e. vanadic anhydride.As can be seen here, traditional sputtering is used Method can not obtain high-quality tetravalence barium oxide, i.e. VO2Thin film.Therefore, tradition reactive sputtering work The sputtered film Composition Control difficulty of skill, the even thin film of some special component cannot sputter.

As in figure 2 it is shown, the present invention is a kind of reaction sputtering system controlled based on vibrating type reacting gas, bag Include vacuum chamber 1 and gas Flowrate Control System.
Relative anode wafer carrier 4 and cathode targets 3 it is provided with in vacuum chamber 1.Anode wafer carrier 4 Being arranged at the bottom of vacuum chamber 1, cathode targets 3 is arranged at the top of vacuum chamber 1, cathode targets 3 It is connected with shielding power supply 2.
Coupled logical reaction gas pipeline 5 and gas-carrier pipeline it is respectively arranged with on the sidewall of vacuum chamber 1 6.The exit position of reaction gas pipeline 5 is corresponding with cathode targets 3, the exit position of gas-carrier pipeline 6 with Anode wafer carrier 4 is corresponding.
Gas Flowrate Control System include computer 7, flow controller 8, reacting gas mass flowmenter 9 and Carrier gas mass flowmenter 10.Reacting gas mass flowmenter 9 and carrier gas mass flowmenter 10 are separately positioned on instead Answer in gas piping 5 and gas-carrier pipeline 6, reacting gas mass flowmenter 9 and carrier gas mass flowmenter 10 points Not being connected with flow controller 8, flow controller 8 is connected with computer 7.Computer 7 is by flow control Device 8 processed controls reacting gas mass flowmenter 9, makes to enter the reaction of vacuum chamber 1 from reaction gas pipeline 5 Gas flow is periodically to shake flow.
Prepare vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin film time, reacting gas is oxygen, and carrier gas is argon, cathode targets 3 For 5N pure vanadium target.
The technological process that the employing present invention carries out reactive sputtering is as follows:
1, vacuum chamber 1 is first extracted into required base vacuum by vacuum system, such as 10E-7Torr.
2, computer 7 controls carrier gas mass flowmenter 10 by flow controller 8, is passed through the load of certain flow Gas, such as the argon of 35sccm, and makes the vacuum of vacuum chamber 1 reach required vacuum, as 5E-3Torr。
3, computer 7 controls reacting gas mass flowmenter 9 by flow controller 8, the reaction gas being passed through Body flow is not a definite value, but at flow F1 and F2 set according to regular hour periodic vibration Value.The control process of whole reacting gas is as it is shown on figure 3, be described as follows: in the T0 time by reacting gas stream Amount is set to F1, in the T1 time, reaction gas flow is set to F2, then is set by reaction gas flow in the T2 time For F1, by that analogy.Wherein the T0-T1 time is initial time, for TBegin;The T1-T2 time is TF2, table It it is now time during F2 flow;The T2-T3 time is TF1, show as time during F1 flow, by that analogy, Form concussion.
4, shielding power supply 2 is opened in the T1 time, until it reaches the film thickness of needs.
One important difference of the present invention and traditional reaction sputtering system is the stream of the reacting gas of the present invention Amount is a flow periodically shaken, and unconventional firm discharge.The present invention can solve the problem that tradition is fixing The instability problem that reaction gas flow brings, its principles illustrated contained is as follows: when reaction gas flow is F1, owing to partial reaction thing backwash causes reactant valence state to increase, reactive state tends to unstable;But it is the shortest In time, gas flow becomes F2, causes reactant valence state to reduce.The conversion of this high-frequency flow makes on the contrary Obtain whole sputter procedure and achieve dynamic stable.This is just as the wheelbarrow of acrobatics, if wheelbarrow Motionless, performance people is difficult to maintain and balances: if but perform people and do not stop the most quickly to move, just it is easy to Realize the balance of wheelbarrow.
Use the present invention reaction sputtering system, by adjust reacting gas two preset value F1 and F2 with And conversion time cycle TF1And TF2, it becomes possible in reactive sputtering process, stablize the metallization required for obtaining Polymer component.
