[effect of cathode assembly]

Reference picture 2- Fig. 4 illustrates the effect of cathode assembly.

As shown in Fig. 2 when cathode assembly 18 initially forms film, translation stage 22a is internally located at track 22b in framework 21 Carriage direction on an end, the left part in such as Fig. 2.Now, oscillation center axle portion 23a of swing arm 23 is being transported It is connected with the top of 21 wall portion of framework on the position consistent with the substantial middle of track 22b on direction.On the other hand, swing arm The lower section being located on the position of the left part side of track 22b of 23 link axle portion 23b on carriage direction inside framework 21.Cause This, translation stage 22a forms predetermined angle relative to the direction that the vertically extending directions of track 22b are extended with swing arm 23.

When cathode assembly 18 initially forms film, translation stage 22a is along track 22b from the transport side orthogonal with swinging axle P Move towards another end an end upwards.For example, left part directions of the translation stage 22a along carriage direction from Fig. 2 Move right part.Thus, as link axle portion 23b of swing arm 23 is also translated with translation stage 22a along carriage direction, so in fortune Send the position of oscillation center axle portion 23a being closely located on carriage direction of link axle portion 23b on direction.As a result, flat The angle formed by the direction that the direction that moving stage 22a extends is extended with swing arm little by little diminishes.In translation stage 22a along transport side When translating together with link axle portion 23b, oscillation center axle portion 23a is rotated together with axle portion 23b is linked.Now, oscillation center Axle portion 23a is mutually the same relative to the direction that translation stage 22a rotates with link axle portion 23b relative to the direction that framework 21 rotates.

As shown in figure 3, translating with axle portion 23b is linked along carriage direction in translation stage 22a, and make the pendulum on carriage direction During the location overlap of the position of dynamic central axle portion 23a and link axle portion 23b on carriage direction, the side that translation stage 22a extends To Chong Die with the direction that swing arm 23 extends.As a result, above-mentioned angle becomes 0 °.

When translation stage 22a is close to another end more than the position of oscillation center axle portion 23a on carriage direction, even Knot axle portion 23b is located away from position of oscillation center axle portion 23a on carriage direction on carriage direction.As a result, translation The direction that platform 22a extends little by little becomes big with the angle formed by the direction that swing arm 23 extends.

Thus, cathode electrode unit 22 together with axle portion 23b is linked from the end direction of the track 22b on carriage direction Another end or from another end towards end translation.Thus, with link axle portion 23b as swinging end pendulum Swing arm 23 is swung centered on oscillation center axle portion 23a.

Therefore, when cathode electrode unit 22 is translated with link axle portion 23b along track 22b, by the connecting line inside framework 21 The swing of swing arm 23 is also followed on road, and is swung centered on oscillation center axle portion 23a.Now, inside swing arm 23 Connection line follows the swing of swing arm 23 while keeping the connection with cathode electrode unit 22.Therefore, connection line is by pendulum Dynamic central axle portion 23a and hardly inside swing arm 23 and outside between pass in and out.Thus, due to inside the framework 21 with outside Between the variable quantity of the length of connection line that changes less than the translation of cathode electrode unit 22 distance, it is possible to reducing connection line The mechanicalness load born.

It is as described above, following effect can be obtained according to the sputter equipment of the 1st embodiment.

(1) when cathode electrode unit 22 is with the translation of axle portion 23b is linked, swing arm 23 is swung.Now, positioned at swing arm 23 Internal connection line follows the swing of swing arm 23, is swung while keeping and the moon centered on oscillation center axle portion 23a The connection of pole unit 22.Therefore, connection line by oscillation center axle portion 23a hardly swing arm 23 it is inside and outside it Between pass in and out.Therefore, the variable quantity of the length of the connection line for changing and outside between inside framework 21 is less than cathode electrode unit 22 Mobile distance.As a result, can reduce that its institute is made because connection line is passed in and out and 21 outside of framework between inside framework 21 The mechanicalness load born.

In addition, the 1st embodiment can also suitably be changed in such a way and be implemented.

The position that oscillation center axle portion 23a is connected with 21 wall portion of framework may not be and the track on carriage direction The consistent position of the substantial middle of 22b.As long as swing arm 23 can be swung, oscillation center axle portion 23a and 21 wall portion of framework The position of connection can also be some the corresponding position in 2 ends with the track 22b on carriage direction or its His position.

Cathode electrode unit 22 is as described above, is not limited only to be formed as flat target with opposed with substrate S Constitute.Cathode electrode unit 22 can also be the composition with following target, the i.e. target with along carriage direction and translation stage 22a mono- Mobile rotary shaft is played, is formed as the cylindric and opposed with substrate S of centered on rotary shaft axle.

Film formation device can not be the sputter equipment 10 for possessing cathode electrode unit 22, it is also possible to be embodied as various film forming dresses Put, for example there is the evaporation coating device of vapor deposition source as film forming portion etc..Or, film formation device can also be embodied as possessing ion beam Irradiation portion as processing unit ion beam irradiation apparatus or possess laser of the various laser irradiating parts such as ultraviolet as processing unit The various substrate board treatments such as irradiation unit.

That is, the deflection of flexible portion 51b becomes maximum.

On the other hand, as shown in figure 9, when length L of swing arm 23 becomes maximum, bellows 33c extends, and bottom Framework 34 is from top framework 31 farthest (with reference to Fig. 7).Therefore, swing rigid section 51a1 most to connect with the coupling part of flexible portion 51b The upper wall of nearly bottom framework 34.Also, swinging rigid section 51a1 becomes maximum with the distance between rigid section 51a2 is linked.By This, flexible portion 51b be deformed into from be connected to swing rigid section 51a1 flexible portion 51b an end to bend 51b1 away from From becoming maximum, from be connected to another end of flexible portion 51b for linking rigid section 51a2 to bend 51b1 distance into For minimum.That is, the deflection of flexible portion 51b becomes minimum.

Thus, when swing arm 23 stretches, the deflection of flexible portion 51b is swinging rigid section 51a1 and is linking rigid section Change between 51a2.Therefore, by the change of the length of the power line 51 inside swing arm 23 and the difference of the length of swing arm 23 Absorbed by the change of the deflection of flexible portion 51b.Then, the length of the power line 51 for passing in and out and outside between inside swing arm 23 Degree shortens.

It is as described above, according to the sputter equipment of the 2nd embodiment, the effect being exemplified below can be obtained.

(2) when translation stage 22a is with the translation of axle portion 23b is linked, the telescoping mechanism 40 of swing arm 23 makes oscillation center axle portion 23a becomes according to the distance between oscillation center axle portion 23a and connection shaft support 23b1 with the distance between axle portion 23b is linked Change.Thus, link axle portion 23b for being arranged on swing arm 23 can follow the movement of translation stage 22a.

(3) when swing arm 23 stretches, it is attached at and swings rigid section 51a1 and link the flexible portion between rigid section 51a2 The deflection of 51b can change.Therefore, by the length of the power line 51 inside swing arm 23 and the difference of the length of swing arm 23 Change and absorbed by the change of the deflection of flexible portion 51b.Then, the power line 51 for passing in and out and outside between inside swing arm 23 Length shorten.

In addition, the 2nd embodiment can also suitably be changed in such a way and be implemented.

The deflection division 53a of the deflection division 52a and cooling water pipe 53 of gas pipe 52 is not as respectively in gas There is on pipe arrangement 52 and cooling water pipe 53 position of curved shape and be specific, it is also possible to make for example on connection line It is to be specific with spiral-shaped part.In addition, it is spiral-shaped can also be two dimension it is spiral-shaped, or three That what is tieed up is spiral-shaped.
