Description

Magnetron sputtering cathode
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of magnetron sputtering cathodes, in particular to the technical field of magnetron sputtering with high ionization and rapid deposition, and specifically relates to a magnetron sputtering cathode.
Background
The magnetron sputtering technology has been widely used for preparing functional coatings because of the advantages of low-temperature deposition, easy film thickness control, good repeatability and the like. However, the conventional magnetron sputtering technology faces the problem of low plasma ionization rate, which results in low energy of deposited particles and seriously affects the density and bonding force of the coating on one hand; on the other hand, the deposition particle beam current is small, and the deposition efficiency of the coating is seriously influenced.
In order to improve the ionization rate, a high-power pulse magnetron sputtering technology (HiPIMS) is provided in the industry, the technology enables a large amount of deposited particles to be ionized through high-intensity pulse discharge, the controllability of the coating structure is greatly improved through ion energy control, and the mechanical property of the coating is optimized. However, the introduction of the pulse causes frequent sparking in the discharge process, which affects the discharge stability, and meanwhile, the deposition rate of the coating is greatly reduced due to the extremely small duty ratio and the serious ion resorption, and the increased cost cannot meet the requirement of industrial mass production. In view of this, the high duty ratio of the direct current discharge and the high ionization rate of the pulse discharge are combined, a new generation of magnetron sputtering technology, namely a continuous high-power magnetron sputtering technology (C-HPMS), is provided, the ionization rate can be maintained at the level of the HiPIMS technology, the deposition efficiency of the coating can be greatly improved, and the high ionization and the rapid deposition can be realized at the same time.
However, as a core device of magnetron sputtering, the magnetron sputtering cathode cannot bear such a high-power discharge, and under normal working conditions, the power density is generally only 10-20W/cm 2 Much lower than the requirements of C-HPMS. Once the power density of the magnetron sputtering cathode is too high, the heat generated by discharge can cause the problems of target melting, magnet demagnetization, structural deformation, sealing failure and the like, thereby causing serious consequences of water leakage, air leakage, short circuit and the like, and being difficult to meet the requirement of magnetron sputtering discharge with high power density.
Therefore, the existing magnetron sputtering cathode still needs to be improved and developed.
