Alarm system for plane target material burn-through
Technical Field
The invention relates to a magnetron sputtering planar target, in particular to a planar target burn-through alarm system which uses a target material to the maximum extent, reduces target material waste and avoids the damage of the planar target caused by target material burn-through.
Background
In a coating production line, a magnetron sputtering technology is often used, and the working principle of magnetron sputtering is that electrons collide with argon atoms in the process of flying to a substrate under the action of an electric field so as to ionize the argon atoms to generate positive ions and new electrons; new electrons fly to the substrate, positive ions are accelerated to fly to the cathode target under the action of an electric field, the surface of the target is bombarded with high energy, the target material is sputtered, and neutral target atoms or molecules in sputtered particles are deposited on the substrate to form a film.
In magnetron sputtering production, the target material can generate an etching track and is gradually consumed, and because the coating line is in a vacuum state, the target material consumption condition of the planar target cannot be effectively judged, and the consumption of the target material is generally estimated according to experience and used accumulated power. However, such estimation usually has a certain error, and when the error is too large, the target is not used to the maximum extent, which results in waste of the target and increases the production cost, or the target is burnt through, which results in damage of the planar target, water leakage or abnormal state of the coating line, so that the existing estimation method brings many problems to the production.
