Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of magnetron sputtering, in particular to a magnetron sputtering planar target insulation structure.
Background
Magnetron sputtering is a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technique that forms thin films by sputtering material from a target onto a substrate by high-speed ion bombardment. The magnetron sputtering has the advantages of simple equipment, easy control, large coating area, strong adhesive force and the like, and is widely applied in a plurality of fields. In magnetron sputtering, electrons collide with argon atoms in the process of flying to a substrate under the action of an electric field, so that a large amount of argon ions and electrons are generated by ionization of the electrons. The new electrons fly to the substrate, while the argon ions fly to the cathode target in an accelerating way under the action of an electric field, and bombard the surface of the target with high energy, so that the target is sputtered. The magnetron sputtering has high film forming rate, low substrate temperature and good film adhesion, and can realize large-area film coating. Meanwhile, magnetron sputtering performs high-speed sputtering under low air pressure, and the ionization rate of the gas must be effectively improved. Therefore, a magnetic field is introduced at the target cathode surface, and the confinement of the charged particles by the magnetic field is used to increase the plasma density to increase the sputtering rate. The magnetron sputtering has wide application, can be used for preparing multiple materials such as metal, semiconductor, insulator and the like, and can also be applied to research in the fields of high-temperature superconducting films, ferroelectric films, giant magnetoresistance films, film luminescent materials, solar cells, memory alloy films and the like.

The magnetic field module 1 and the insulating plate 2 are separated from the shell by a certain distance, so that the problem of short circuit between the power ground and the magnetic field module 1 and the insulating plate 2 can be prevented, and the insulating performance and the stability of the equipment are further enhanced. In other embodiments, the sides of the magnetic field module 1 protrude from the sides of the insulating plate 2, but the protruding length is smaller than the protruding length of the fixing base plate 3. The arrangement has better shielding effect on the insulating plate 2, can further reduce the deposition of metal atoms on the insulating plate 2 and enhance the insulating effect of the insulating plate 2.
