Description

Method for cleaning ITO target material burning-supporting gasket
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of ceramic target sintering kiln furniture cleaning, in particular to a method for cleaning an ITO target sintering pad.
Background
An Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) target is a target material for magnetron sputtering coating, is used for plating a transparent conductive ITO film, and is widely applied to the fields of display screens, touch screens, solar cells and the like.
The purity of the ITO target material is required to be more than 99.99 percent. Therefore, when sintering in the sintering kiln, the high-purity gasket is needed to support, so that the high-purity gasket is prevented from directly contacting with the sintering bearing plate.
The sintering temperature of the ITO target is typically above 1550 ℃. After long-time sintering, an ITO shell layer is adhered to the gasket, the shell layer is uneven and has different thickness, the flatness of the ITO target material can be seriously affected, and the yield of the product is reduced. Meanwhile, the adhesion layer can also cause the gasket to adhere to the target, so that the surface pits appear on the target, and the product is directly scrapped.
The existing solution is that after the gasket is used each time, the gasket is manually ground by using a grinding stone or mechanically ground by using a grinding machine, and the production efficiency is greatly reduced due to the fact that the gasket is small in size, large in quantity, labor-consuming and time-consuming in grinding. Moreover, the grinding amount is small, and the cleaning is not clean; the grinding amount is large, the abrasion of the gasket is large, the consumption is fast, and the cost is high. There is an urgent need for a better method of cleaning the pad.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problems that: the method for cleaning the ITO target material burning-bearing gasket adopts the high-temperature sintering gasket, removes the ITO residues on the gasket through pyrolysis, has good cleaning effect, and has the advantages of no loss of the gasket, clean and suitability for mass cleaning compared with the conventional method for grinding the cleaning gasket.
The technical scheme for solving the technical problems is as follows: a method for cleaning an ITO target material burning-in pad comprises the following steps:
(1) Placing the sintering pad with the ITO residues attached to the surface into a vacuum furnace;
(2) Heating the vacuum furnace to 1550-1650 ℃, and preserving heat for 4-10 hours, wherein the vacuum degree in the heat preservation period is minus 0.09-minus 0.04MPa;
(3) After the heat preservation is finished, the furnace temperature is reduced to 1300-1400 ℃, then the heat preservation is carried out for 1-4 hours, and air or oxygen is introduced during the heat preservation period, so that the furnace pressure is between 50Pa and 120 Pa;
(4) After the heat preservation is finished, the furnace temperature is increased to 1550-1650 ℃, the heat preservation is carried out for 4-10 hours, ventilation is stopped when the heat preservation is carried out, vacuum pumping is carried out, and the vacuum degree in the heat preservation period is-0.09-0.04 MPa;
(5) And after the heat preservation is finished, cooling to room temperature along with the furnace, and taking out the gasket to finish the cleaning of the ITO residues of the gasket.
The gasket is made of aluminum oxide or zirconium oxide.
ITO is easy to decompose and gasify at high temperature. The invention adopts the high-temperature sintering gasket to decompose and gasify the ITO residues on the gasket at high temperature so as to remove the ITO residues. The gasket body cannot be melted at high temperature, and the gasket is free from loss in the cleaning process; in addition, the size of the currently used gasket is small, a plurality of gaskets can be simultaneously placed into a vacuum furnace for cleaning, and the cleaning efficiency is high. Compared with the existing method for grinding and cleaning the gasket, the method has the advantages of no gasket loss, clean and low labor cost, and is suitable for mass cleaning.
The technical features of a method for cleaning an ITO target burning pad according to the present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
