Description

Film preparation device and preparation method based on ion beam sputtering deposition and shaping
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of film deposition, in particular to a film preparation device and a film preparation method based on ion beam sputtering deposition and shaping.
Background
Ion beam sputter deposition has been developed as an important method in thin film processes, and the sputtering principle is as follows: the ion beam bombardment is carried out on the surface of the target material by utilizing the low-energy focused ion beam at a certain angle, and sputtered target material atoms are transmitted at a certain angle and deposited on the surface of the workpiece.
Ion beam shaping is one of the semiconductor etching processes, mainly physical etching, and according to the sputtering principle, the low-energy ion beam is utilized to bombard the surface of a workpiece, and momentum and energy are transferred through the collision of ions and atoms on the surface of the workpiece, so that atoms on the surface of an element are separated, and the shaping purpose is achieved.
Although a relatively flat film can be deposited on the surface of a workpiece through an ion beam sputtering deposition process, as the transmission path of the ion beam sputtering deposition process cannot be strictly controlled in the target atomic sputtering process, protrusions are formed on local areas of the surface of the film, and the surface of the film is uneven, therefore, in general, after the film is deposited on the surface of the workpiece through the ion beam sputtering deposition process, the protruding parts of the surface of the film need to be shaped through ion beam shaping, so that local surface shape errors of the surface of the film are accurately corrected, and the surface shape accuracy is improved.
Because the ion beam has multiple functions of ion beam sputtering deposition, ion beam auxiliary sputtering, ion beam shaping and the like, internationally, a plurality of vacuum equipment manufacturers develop and produce ion beam sputtering deposition and shaping equipment, but most of the developed and produced equipment has single function, such as being incapable of sputtering and shaping at the same time. Although some manufacturers integrate sputtering and shaping into one device, two vacuum cavities are arranged on the device, sputtering ion sources and shaping ion sources are respectively arranged in the two vacuum cavities, when a workpiece is sputtered in the sputtering vacuum cavity, the workpiece is required to be taken out of the vacuum cavity and placed in the shaping vacuum cavity, the operation is complex, the processing efficiency is low, in addition, in the process of transferring the sputtered workpiece from the sputtering vacuum cavity to the shaping vacuum cavity, the sputtered workpiece is influenced by the environment, and modification conditions such as oxidization, pollution and the like can be caused on a film on the surface of the workpiece.

Referring to fig. 1, in conjunction with fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a thin film preparation apparatus based on ion beam sputter deposition and shaping, which includes a vacuum chamber 1, a first working table 2, a second working table 3, a pulsed ion source 4, and a driving device 5.
The vacuum chamber 1 is used for providing an environment for preparing a film on the surface of the workpiece S, the vacuum chamber 1 can be a cavity, and the cavity can be opened or closed, so that the workpiece S and the target P are installed in the vacuum chamber 1. Meanwhile, the vacuum chamber 1 can be internally vacuumized according to the operation requirement.
A first table 2 for loading a workpiece S, which is disposed at an upper portion of the vacuum chamber 1, and a lower surface of the first table 2 is parallel to a horizontal plane, and the workpiece S according to the present embodiment is preferably an epitaxial substrate, and a thin film is prepared on the substrate. The substrate is horizontally arranged on the lower surface of the first workbench 2, so that the surface of the substrate, on which the film needs to be prepared, is parallel to the horizontal surface, and the surface of the substrate, on which the film needs to be prepared, is smooth.
A second stage 3 for loading a target P disposed in the vacuum chamber 1 below the first stage 2, the target P being for ion bombardment of its surface to cause atoms or molecules to be stripped from the target P surface to form an ion stream, which flows upward and is deposited on the substrate surface to form a desired thin film.
The pulsed ion source 4 is disposed in the vacuum chamber 1 and located at one side of the second working table 3 in the horizontal direction, and is used for emitting an ion beam to the surface of the target P for sputter deposition or for shaping a film deposited on the surface of the workpiece S.
A driving device 5, disposed in the vacuum chamber 1, for changing the direction of the ion beam emitted by the pulsed ion source 4, so as to switch the ion beam between the surface of the target P and the surface of the workpiece S.
According to the preparation device disclosed by the invention, when a film is required to be deposited on the surface of the workpiece S, the ion beam emitted by the pulse ion source 4 can bombard the target P, so that the sputtering deposition of the surface of the workpiece S is realized, and when the film on the surface of the workpiece S is required to be shaped, the direction of the ion beam emitted by the pulse ion source 4 can be changed under the action of the driving device 5, so that the ion beam directly irradiates the surface of the workpiece S, and the shaping of the film deposited on the surface of the workpiece S is realized.
In order to realize the sputter deposition of the ion beam and the shaping of the ion beam by the same pulsed ion source 4, the pulsed ion source 4 is structurally configured in this embodiment, and specifically, the pulsed ion source 4 includes an ion beam generating device 41 and an ion beam control device 42 connected to the ion beam generating device 41. The ion beam generating device 41 is used for emitting an ion beam with certain energy, the ion beam control device 42 is used for adjusting the energy, the flow and the beam shape of the ion beam so as to meet the performance requirements of different ion beams in the ion beam sputtering and ion beam shaping processes, so that one pulse ion source 4 can integrate the dual functions of ion beam sputtering and ion beam shaping, and more sputtering ion sources and shaping ion sources are not required to be arranged in the vacuum chamber 1, thereby reducing the use amount of parts and realizing the advantages of light volume and simple structure of the whole preparation device.
Specifically, referring to fig. 3, the ion beam generating apparatus 41 disclosed in this embodiment includes a protective cover 411, and a gas separator 412, a discharge reaction chamber 413, a screen 414, an acceleration screen 415, and a deceleration screen 416 provided in the protective cover 411.
The protective cover 411 is used to provide mechanical support, and in some cases, a cooling device may be provided on the protective cover 411 to provide cooling requirements for the internal ion reaction. The protecting cover 411 is provided with a gas inlet 4111 for introducing a reaction gas, such as argon or nitrogen, and one end of the gas isolator 412 is communicated with the gas inlet 4111, the other end is connected with the discharge reaction chamber 413, and the outer wall of the discharge reaction chamber 413 is surrounded by a radio frequency induction coil 417. The gas-isolated chamber serves to filter some impurities in the gas, allowing only the reaction gas to flow into the discharge reaction chamber 413, while the gas-isolated chamber can also maintain electrical isolation between the discharge reaction chamber 413 and the protective cover 411. The discharge reaction chamber 413 is made of a dielectric such as quartz or alumina, allowing the magnetic field generated by the rf induction coil 417 to penetrate the discharge chamber and ionize Ar. The plasma density or number of ions per unit volume within the discharge reaction chamber 413 is proportional to the applied rf power.
The screen grid 414, the acceleration grid 415 and the deceleration grid 416 are sequentially arranged at one end of the discharge reaction chamber 413 far away from the gas isolator 412, the extraction voltage of the screen grid 414 is positive, the extraction voltage of the acceleration grid 415 is negative, and the extraction voltage of the deceleration grid 416 is zero or positive. The protective cover 411 is provided with an ion beam exit port 4112 on a side close to the deceleration grating 416, and the ion beam exit port 4112 is connected to the ion beam control device 42.
The pulse power supply modulates the electric signal generated by the high-voltage direct current power supply into a pulse signal through a modulator, and then the pulse signal passes through an electrode on the screen 414 to screen and separate the incident ions. The screen 414 is used to remove negative ions, neutral total deposition, and ions such as ions reflected by the ion source from the ion beam, so that only positive ions pass through the screen 414, and the screen 414 can reduce the ion current from the non-emission direction in the ion beam emission source as much as possible, thereby improving the longitudinal coherence of the beam current, reducing the kinetic energy dispersion, and improving the beam current emission efficiency.
After passing through the screen 414, the positive ions enter the acceleration grid 415, and the ions are accelerated and controlled by electrodes on the acceleration grid 415, so that the ion beam obtains specific energy and speed. By the action of the high voltage electrode of the acceleration grid 415, the velocity of the ions is accelerated during their rising, so that they acquire a higher kinetic energy. Meanwhile, by adjusting the potential of the acceleration grating 415, the speed and energy distribution of ions in the ion beam can be controlled, and efficient control of the ion beam is realized.
The purpose of the deceleration grid 416 is to decelerate the ion beam to a lower energy by electrostatically analyzing the ion beam.
The energy of the ion beam can be controlled by the cooperation of the acceleration gate 415 and the deceleration gate 416, so as to meet the energy requirements of different ion beams for sputtering and shaping.
Such as in ion beam sputtering, by decreasing the potential of the deceleration grid while increasing the potential of the acceleration grid, the energy of the ion beam can be increased to break the atomic bonds on the sample surface with sufficient energy to produce a sputtering effect. During ion beam shaping, the energy of the ion beam is reduced through the deceleration grid, the beam current density and the beam current angle are adjusted, and the ion beam can bombard the surface of a workpiece, so that high-power shaping is realized at a specific position on the surface of the film.
In order to further realize fine control of the ion beam, so that one pulsed ion source 4 can meet the requirements of the ion beam during sputter deposition and during shaping, the present embodiment is specifically implemented by the ion beam control device 42.
The ion beam control device 42 of this embodiment includes a housing 421, an electromechanical shutter 422, an ion beam controller 423, a variable attenuator 424, and a magnetic lens 425.
One end of the housing 421 is connected to the ion beam exit port 4112, a housing space is provided inside the housing 421, an electromechanical shutter 422, an ion beam controller 423, a variable attenuator 424, and a magnetic lens 425 are sequentially disposed in the housing space inside the housing 421 in the ion beam transmission direction, the other end of the housing 421 is an ion beam exit port,
the electromechanical shutter 422 is used to control the opening and closing of the ion beam, in this embodiment, the electromechanical shutter 422 is an electronic front shutter, the ion beam controller 423 is used to control the energy of the ion beam, the variable attenuator 424 is used to control the flux of the ion beam, and further adjust the intensity of the ion beam, and the magnetic lens 425 is used to adjust the ion beam focusing to control the shape and energy distribution of the ion beam to achieve the desired processing effect.
By providing the ion beam controller 423 and the variable attenuator 424 in the ion beam control apparatus 42, the ion beam controller 423 can adjust voltages of the screen 414, the acceleration screen 415, and the deceleration screen 416 to achieve a desired ion beam shape and energy distribution, and the variable attenuator 424 is used to adjust the flow of the ion beam to control the sputtering depth and surface topography; the electromechanical shutter 422 can ensure that the ion beam irradiates only the surface area to be treated, the ion beam can be focused in the required area through the arrangement of the magnetic lens 425, and the position and shape of sputtering and shaping can be controlled by adjusting the focusing of the ion beam, so that the ion beam sputtering and shaping can be accurately realized.
More specifically, when performing ion beam sputtering, the electromechanical shutter 422 is in a normally open state to allow a pulse ion beam to pass through, and under the action of the pulse ion beam, the ion beam passing through the electromechanical shutter 422 has a constant pulse frequency and width, and at this time, the ion beam controller 423 can adjust the voltages of the screen grid 414, the acceleration grid 415 and the deceleration grid 416 to make the energy distribution of the ion beam in a high energy state, and simultaneously, the variable attenuator 424 is used to control the number of ions in the ion beam, so as to adjust the intensity of the ion beam, so that more ion flows bombarded on the target P can be sputtered and deposited on the surface of the workpiece S, and the efficiency of ion beam sputtering is improved.
