Description

Plasma transmission device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of vacuum coating, in particular to a plasma transmission device.
Background
The vacuum ion beam coating technology is widely applied to the fields of various industries, such as electromechanics, optics, aerospace and the like. The cathode vacuum arc source has the advantages of large extraction beam current, high ionization rate, capability of extracting a plurality of ion types and the like, and is widely applied to the field of material surface modification, wherein ion beam deposition and ion implantation are the two most important applications. The method has the characteristics of low process temperature, high sputtering speed, simple equipment, easy control, large coating area, strong adhesive force and the like, is very suitable for long-time batch production, and can be applied to high-end industries such as DLC (diamond like carbon) or semiconductor film preparation and the like.
The cathode vacuum arc source generates plasma by utilizing arc discharge between the cathode and the anode, and is further used for plasma deposition coating. However, during plasma deposition, the arc spot discharge on the cathode surface is intense, and a large amount of macro particles are generated at the same time as the high-density plasma is generated. Wherein macroparticles refer to macroparticles having diameters from about a few microns to about tens of microns. The cooperative deposition of macro-particles and plasmas often increases the surface roughness of the film, reduces the film base binding force, influences the acquisition of high-quality films, and becomes a key technical bottleneck in the industrial application of the cathode vacuum arc method.
At present, the generation of macro-large particles is reduced mainly by an electric field and a magnetic field, or the movement track of the plasma and the macro-large particles is changed by the electric field and the magnetic field, so that the plasma and the macro-large particles are separated, and the coordination deposition of the macro-large particles and the plasma is avoided. However, the simultaneous arrangement of an electric field and a magnetic field in a coating apparatus has the following drawbacks:
1. the bias electric field separates positive and negative ions, so that positive ions are bound in the middle of the pipeline, negative ions are attracted to the pipeline wall, and when a large amount of negative ions are adsorbed and deposited to the pipeline wall, the pipeline wall is negative electricity to attract positive ions to the pipeline wall, so that the transmission performance of the transmission pipeline is affected;
2. the coils are more, the energy consumption is high, and the stability of particles is influenced by high electromagnetic interference;
3. the required power supply is more, so that the cost is higher;
4. the arrangement of the multistage magnetic field and the electric field has better filtering effect on macro large particles, but the structure and the control mode are complex;
5. in the process of magnetic filtering macro-large particles, a bias power supply is connected to the bent pipe, the plasma beam bombards the bent pipe under the action of a magnetic field, the generated arc flow is released through the bias of the bent pipe, and the arc flow is often more than hundred amperes, so that the bias power supply can be caused to be self-protected and stopped, and the stable output of plasma is affected.

Detailed Description
In order to explain the technical contents, the structural features and the effects of the present invention in detail, the following description will be made with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1 to 5, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a plasma transfer apparatus, which includes a transfer duct 10 and a bias power supply device 20, wherein plasma enters the transfer duct 10 from an inlet end of the transfer duct 10 and is output from an outlet end of the transfer duct 10, the transfer duct 10 includes at least two electrode plates 11 spaced apart along a circumferential direction thereof, and the bias power supply device 20 is used for bias power supply of each electrode plate 11 and switching a power supply state of each electrode plate 11 so as to change the plasma of the transfer duct 10 back and forth between an outward movement and an inward movement.
In the embodiment of the invention, at least two electrode plates 11 are distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the transmission pipeline 10, the bias power supply device 20 is configured to switch the power supply state of the electrode plates 11 so as to enable plasma of the transmission pipeline 10 to change back and forth between outward movement and inward movement, so that the plasma can move back and forth between the central axis of the pipe of the transmission pipeline 10 and the pipe wall, electrons and negative particles in the plasma in the transmission pipeline 10 always move outwards to strike the wall so as to enable the pipe wall to be negative, thereby causing positive ions to be adsorbed and deposited to damage the conductivity of the pipe wall, and further improving the stability of the transmission performance of the transmission pipeline 10. Meanwhile, since the plasmas of the transmission pipeline 10 move back and forth between the shaft walls, the plasmas collide with each other, and the ionization efficiency of the plasmas is improved. In addition, the bias power supply device 20 supplies power to each electrode plate 11, so that the structure is simple, and the cost of the plasma transmission device can be effectively reduced.
In the plasma transmission device according to the embodiment of the present invention, the "outward movement" refers to the movement of the plasma in a direction approaching the pipe wall of the transmission pipe 10, and the "inward movement" refers to the movement of the plasma in a direction approaching the pipe center axis of the transmission pipe 10; "negative particles" include negative ions and/or electrons.
It will be appreciated that each electrode plate 11 extends from the inlet end of the transfer duct 10 to the outlet end of the transfer duct 10 in order to enable the transfer of plasma throughout the transfer duct 10 to be varied back and forth between an outward movement and an inward movement depending on the state of the power supplied to the electrode plates 11.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of electrode plates 11 may be disposed on the inner wall of the transmission pipe 10 at intervals, and the transmission pipe 10 is insulated from the electrode plates 11, so that when the bias power supply device 20 switches the power supply state of each electrode plate 11, a voltage difference is formed between each electrode plate 11 and the transmission pipe 10 to form electric fields in different directions, thereby enabling the plasma to move inwards or outwards. Due to the insulation between the electrode plates 11 and the transmission duct 10, the transmission duct 10 can be prevented from being charged when the electrode plates 11 are charged, and the plasma of the transmission duct 10 cannot be changed back and forth between the outward movement and the inward movement by switching the power supply states of the plurality of electrode plates 11.
It is understood that in order to stably mount the electrode plate 11 on the inner wall of the transmission duct 10, the electrode plate 11 may be fastened to the inner wall of the transmission duct 10 by a fastener such as a screw or a clip.
The electrode plate 11 requires good electrical conductivity, and preferably, the electrode plate 11 may be a copper electrode plate. Of course, the electrode plate 11 may be made of other conductive materials, such as aluminum, stainless steel, etc.; the transmission duct 10 may be made of stainless steel to be provided to be insulated from the electrode plate 11.
As shown in fig. 1 and 3, the arrows in the plasma beam pattern in the transfer pipe 10 indicate the directional output.
As shown in fig. 2 and 4, the transmission duct 10 may be formed by alternately splicing a plurality of body plates 12 and a plurality of electrode plates 11, the body plates 12 being insulated from the electrode plates 11, and when the bias power supply device 20 switches the power supply state of each electrode plate 11, each electrode plate 11 forms electric fields in different directions, thereby causing the plasma to change back and forth between the inward movement and the outward movement. The electrode plates 11 and the main body plates 12 are alternately spliced to form the transmission pipeline 10, so that the cost of the transmission pipeline 10 can be reduced.
Since the electrode plate 11 is insulated from the main body plate 12, the main body plate 12 is prevented from being charged when the electrode plate 11 is charged, and thus the whole transmission pipeline 10 is charged, the potential of each electrode plate 11 cannot be changed when the bias power supply device 20 is switched, and the back and forth movement of plasma cannot be controlled.
It will be appreciated that, in order to ensure the tightness of the splice between the electrode plate 11 and the main body plate 12 to ensure the vacuum environment in the transmission pipeline 10, a sealing ring may be placed in the sealing groove at the contact surface, and then the electrode plate 11 and the main body plate 12 may be fixedly spliced together by using a fastener such as a screw or a clip.
The electrode plate 11 requires good electrical conductivity, and preferably, the electrode plate 11 may be a copper electrode plate. Of course, the electrode plate 11 may be made of other conductive materials, such as aluminum, stainless steel, etc.; the body plate 12 may be made of stainless steel, and is required to be insulated from the electrode plate 11.
As shown in fig. 2 and 4, at least two electrode plates 11 are rotationally symmetric about the axis of the transfer duct 10, facilitating the control of the inward and outward movement of the plasma by the bias power supply 20.
It should be noted that "rotationally symmetrical" does not only refer to that the circuit boards 11 are completely overlapped with the original state after rotating by a certain angle about the axis of the transmission pipe 10, but also includes that the circuit boards 11 are partially overlapped with the original state after rotating by a certain angle about the axis of the transmission pipe 10, for example, the central axes of the electrode boards 11 are equidistantly arranged along the axis of the transmission pipe 10, the sizes of the circuit boards 11 are different, and the central axes of the circuit boards 11 are completely overlapped with the central axes of the circuit boards 11 in the original state after rotating by a certain angle about the axis of the transmission pipe 10, but the circuit boards 11 are not completely overlapped with each other; for example, after the electrode plates 11 are rotated by a certain angle about the central axis of the transmission pipe 11, each circuit board 11 coincides with only a part of the circuit board 11 in the state before rotation.
In order to facilitate the switching of the power supply state of each electrode plate 11 by the bias power supply device 20, the bias power supply device 20 includes a bias power supply 21 and a power supply controller 22, the bias power supply 21 is connected to the power supply controller 22, and the power supply controller 22 switches the power supply state of each electrode plate 11.
Further, the plasma transmission device further comprises a conductive ring 30, the conductive ring 30 is connected with the power supply controller 22, the conductive ring 30 is sleeved on the transmission pipeline 10 and is respectively connected with each electrode plate 11, and the bias power supply 21 supplies power to the plurality of electrode plates 11 through the power supply controller 22 and the conductive ring 30, so that the connection between the power supply controller 22 and the electrode plates 11 is more stable and the safety can be improved.
As shown in fig. 1 and 3, the plasma transmission device further includes a potential neutralizer 40, one end of the potential neutralizer 40 is connected to one end of the electrode plate 11 far away from the conductive ring 30, and the other end is grounded, so that when the power supply controller 22 stops supplying power to any electrode plate 11, the electric charge of the electrode plate 11 can be rapidly released to the ground, thereby releasing the energy of the electrode plate 11 in a short time and improving the circuit stability of the transmission pipeline 10.
Specifically, the potential neutralizer 40 includes at least two CR circuits, each of which includes a capacitor C and a resistor R connected in series with each other, and the at least two CR circuits are respectively connected to the at least two electrode plates 11.
Specifically, each CR circuit is connected to one electrode plate 11, respectively; in each CR circuit, one end of a capacitor C is connected with an electrode plate 11, the other end of the capacitor C is connected with one end of a resistor R, the other end of the resistor R is grounded, when a power controller 22 supplies power to any electrode plate 11, current flows through the electrode plate 11 to the capacitor C, the capacitor C stores charges, and when the power controller 22 cuts off power to the electrode plate 11, the charges stored on the capacitor C are released to the resistor R and flow into a grounding end, so that quick release of energy of the electrode plate 11 is realized, and the stability of the transmission pipeline 10 is protected.
More specifically, the total capacitance C of the capacitor C is 10000 μF or more, the withstand voltage is 200V or more, and the resistance of the resistor R is 1000Ω or more. Of course, the capacitor C and the resistor R can be matched according to actual requirements.
Of course, the potential neutralizer 40 is not limited to the above specific example, and may be provided as other devices capable of holding the upper electrode plate 11 at a potential when the electrode plate 11 is supplied with electricity, and rapidly releasing the electric charges thereon when the electrode plate 11 is disconnected.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, the plasma transmission device includes four electrode plates 11, the power supply controller 22 is a three-phase IC controller, the conductive ring is a three-phase conductive ring, a first phase of the three-phase IC controller is connected to two electrode plates 11 symmetrical to each other through a first phase of the three-phase conductive ring, a second phase and a third phase of the three-phase IC controller are respectively connected to the other two electrode plates 11 through a second phase and a third phase of the three-phase conductive ring, and the three-phase IC controller is connected to the bias power supply 21; the three-phase IC controller converts the bias power supply 21 into three-phase power to supply power to the four electrode plates 11, respectively.

The bias power supply 21 is pulse bias, the bias power supply 20 can control parameters such as waveforms, sizes, duty ratios and the like output by the X phase, the Y phase and the Z phase of the phase IC controller, two phases of the three-phase IC controller are simultaneously connected by controlling the output mode of the three-phase IC controller, and two electrode plates 11 or three electrode plates 11 can be charged simultaneously, for example, when the X phase and the Y phase are simultaneously connected, the first electrode plate, the second electrode plate and the third electrode plate are positive potentials, under the action of a positive bias electric field formed by the first electrode plate, the second electrode plate and the third electrode plate, positive ions in plasma are biased to move towards the fourth electrode plate, negative particles in plasma are biased to move towards the first electrode plate, the second electrode plate and the third electrode plate, and the shape of a plasma beam is elliptic shape biased towards the fourth electrode plate; when the X phase and the Z phase are connected in the same way, the first electrode plate, the third electrode plate and the fourth electrode plate are at positive potential, positive ions in the plasma move towards the second electrode plate under the action of a positive bias electric field formed by the first electrode plate, the third electrode plate and the fourth electrode plate, negative particles in the plasma move towards the first electrode plate, the third electrode plate and the fourth electrode plate, and the shape of a plasma beam is elliptic towards the second electrode plate; when the Y phase and the Z phase are connected in the same way, the second electrode plate and the third electrode plate are at positive potential, positive ions in the plasma move towards the first electrode plate and the third electrode plate under the action of a positive bias electric field formed by the second electrode plate and the fourth electrode plate, negative ions in the plasma move towards the second electrode plate and the fourth electrode plate, and the shape of the plasma beam is dumbbell-shaped towards the first electrode plate and the third electrode plate; under the rapid phase change of the three-phase IC controller and the three-phase conductive ring, the plasma in the transmission pipeline 10 is rapidly changed back and forth between inward movement and outward movement, so that the plasma in the transmission pipeline 10 can form a plasma beam which is bound in the middle of the transmission pipeline 10, and the outlet end of the transmission pipeline 10 can form a scanning type plasma beam which is biased towards the first electrode plate and the third electrode plate (as shown in figure 5), so that the deposition of the plasma is more uniform.
