Description

Bonding method for assembled tubular target structure
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of target bonding, in particular to an assembly type tubular target structure bonding method.
Background
At present, the tubular target materials used in industry are composed of a metal back tube and a tubular target tube. The target tube is bonded on the metal back tube by metal or special organic adhesive for sputtering. The metal back pipe is a whole (the longest is about 4000 mm), no seam or welding seam exists, and the two ends of the back pipe are processed to have special structures and shapes, so that the back pipe is convenient to install on coating equipment; the length of a single section of the tubular target tube is generally 100-600 mm, several sections or even more than ten sections of tubular target tubes are fixed on an integral back tube through bonding layers, and a seam of 0.3-0.5mm is reserved between two adjacent sections of target tubes. Two bonding modes can be adopted according to the use environment of the tubular target. One is the low power use of tubular targets (sputter power < 8 kw/m). The tubular target is less hot than high power use, the highest instantaneous thermal temperature is much less than high power sputtering, the low power sputtering uses transition layer materials: low melting point soft metal indium or indium tin alloy. The other is the high power use of tubular targets (sputtering power > 15 kw/m). Because the tubular target material is subjected to a large amount of thermal shock when the power sputtering is high in use, the highest instantaneous thermal temperature of the surface of the target material exceeds 300 ℃, and heat is transferred to cooling water through the target material, the bonding layer and the back pipe. The bonding layer is required to be infusible at such high temperatures and to be electrically and thermally conductive. The bonding layer materials used for the high-power sputtering are as follows: bonding special conductive adhesive + graphite (C) +copper (Cu)/aluminum (Al) mesh or wire/SUS 304 stainless steel mesh or wire; at present, when a bonding layer is selected by a tubular target manufacturing enterprise or a tubular target bonding enterprise, bonding glue and copper (Cu)/SUS 304/aluminum are used, or low-melting-point metal indium is used. However, since the metal indium has a melting point of 156 degrees celsius and the bonding adhesive has a thermal conductivity of less than 2W/(m.k), there is a risk of melting the bonding layer or cracking the target during high power sputtering.
The existing tubular target structure and bonding technology have the following problems:
1. because the target back pipe is a whole metal pipe and cannot be split, if one section of the target pipe is damaged in use, the whole target cannot be used continuously, and huge waste is caused.
2. The bonding layer is easy to melt and flow out when the bonding layer is subjected to high-power sputtering, so that the target tube is separated from the back tube, and the target cannot be used continuously.
3. When the bonding is performed by using the organic conductive adhesive, although the bonding layer cannot be melted during high-power sputtering, the thermal conductivity of the bonding layer is too poor (less than 2W/(m.K)), and the target tube is easy to crack (especially the oxide ceramic target tube) when being subjected to high-temperature impact and cannot be normally used.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the shortcomings of the background technology, the invention provides an assembly type tubular target structure bonding method, which aims to solve the problems that the replacement cost is high after the target is in use, the indium bonding is easy to melt during high-power sputtering, the target is cracked due to poor heat conduction of a glue bonding layer, and the like. And the back pipe can be reused, thereby being beneficial to reducing the production cost.
The invention relates to a bonding method of an assembled tubular target structure, which comprises the following steps:
s1, dividing a metal back pipe into fixed lengths;
s2, quick connection structures are arranged at two ends of each section of back pipe;
s3, independently bonding each section of target tube and each section of back tube;
s4, sealing a fit gap between an inner hole of the target tube and the back tube by using high-temperature-resistant bonding adhesive at one end, and filling an adhesive into the fit gap after the bonding adhesive is solidified to form a bonding layer;
s5, sealing the other end of the fit gap by using bonding glue.
Further, the adhesive in the step S4 may be a metallic indium liquid or an organic adhesive.
Furthermore, the quick connection structure in the step S2 is that one end of each section of back pipe is provided with external threads, and the other end of each section of back pipe is provided with internal threads.
Further, the fit clearance between the target tube and the back tube is 1mm.
Further, the spacing between the ends of adjacent target blanks is 0.3mm-0.5mm.
The invention has the main beneficial effects that:
1. when the target is longer, the target is damaged, and only one damaged target is needed to be replaced, so that the cost is saved;
2. when the target is longer, the back tube is required to be vertically placed in an upright tubular heating furnace for preheating (the temperature is higher than 156 ℃), each section of target is required to be bonded, the target tube is required to be sleeved on the back tube from the upper end of the back tube and is lowered to the lower end of the back tube, after the position is fixed, the fit gap between the lower end of the section of target tube and the back tube is sealed, finally, indium solution is filled in the fit gap at the upper end of the section of target tube, the temperature of the back tube and the target tube is always higher than the melting point temperature of indium in the operation process, and otherwise, the indium is easy to solidify. And repeating the steps to complete bonding of the whole target. The metal indium solution is poured into a very small fit clearance (generally 1 mm), meanwhile, the metal indium solution is sealed and does not flow out from the lower end, and after the indium solution is solidified, the sealing material is taken out from the seam (0.3-0.5 mm) of two adjacent target tubes, so that the operation difficulty is great. The invention adopts the sectional bonding, and is assembled after the bonding is completed, thereby meeting the requirements of length and structure, improving convenience and improving production efficiency;
3. the end of the fit gap between the target blank and the back tube is sealed by glue, and the middle part is filled with indium for bonding, so that even if the indium bonding layer is heated and melted in the sputtering process, the indium bonding layer cannot flow out, and the problems that the current indium bonding target cannot bear high-power sputtering and the glue bonding target is poor in electric conductivity and thermal conductivity are solved.
4. After the service life of the target material is finished, the back tube can be reused, and the production cost of the target material is reduced.
