Description

Magnetron sputtering cathode target for preparing nanoclusters
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of sputtering coating, in particular to a magnetron sputtering cathode target for preparing nanoclusters
Background
Magnetron sputtering is one type of Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD). The general sputtering method can be used for preparing multi-materials such as metal, semiconductor, insulator and the like, and has the advantages of simple equipment, easy control, large film coating area, strong adhesive force and the like. Magnetron sputtering is the collision process of incident particles with a target. Incident particles undergo a complex scattering process in the target, colliding with target atoms, imparting a portion of their momentum to the target atoms, which in turn collide with other target atoms, forming a cascade process. In such a cascade process, certain target atoms near the surface gain enough momentum to move outward, away from the target, to be sputtered.
The sputtered ions fly to the sample substrate and are deposited on the sample substrate, and the film coating work of the sample substrate is finally completed along with the increasing deposition. Since the sputtered ions are flown in all directions, they cannot be precisely flown to the sample substrate, which results in a decrease in the film deposition rate. Meanwhile, the position of the existing sputtering target cannot be adjusted, and when different sample substrates are coated, the target head cannot be aligned to the sample substrates due to the position difference of the sample substrates, so that the coating speed is low, and the coating is not uniform.
