By this film conveyer 30, after purification membrane 27 is put rolling drawing and is gone out from volume, by 31 guiding of the first film orienting roll, after the periphery of the nozzle body 25 of contact gas supply part 24, be adjacent to the surperficial 21b of the formation stream B of small electrode 21, then, be adjacent to discharge face 21a by bight 215, by 32 guiding of the second film orienting roll, be wound on the take-up roller 33.At this moment, bight 215 forms circular arc, thereby, can prevent that purification membrane 27 is blocked and can smoothly transports when the surperficial 21b beyond the above-mentioned discharge face 21a moves to discharge face 21a.In addition, in present embodiment, the discharge face 21a of small electrode 21 is planes, yet, also can form the curved surface that protrudes towards the discharge face 10a of first electrode 10 to this discharge face 21a.At this moment, more can improve the discharge face 21a of small electrode 21 and the degree of being adjacent to of purification membrane 27.In addition, in present embodiment, the surface that forms the small electrode 21 of stream B also is the plane, yet, also can form the curved surface that protrudes to the central authorities of stream B to this surface.Like this, in stream B, also can be closely attached on small electrode 21 to purification membrane 27 and smoothly transport, can suppress wrinkle and distortion generation.
And as above-mentioned, purification membrane 27 contacts with nozzle body 25, thereby the space from gas supply part 24 to stream B is isolated by purification membrane 27, and can prevent outside the gas flow stream B.
At this, when purification membrane 27 was not adjacent on small electrode 21, as above-mentioned, the surface of small electrode 21 became discharge face 21a, yet when purification membrane 27 was adjacent on small electrode 21, the surface that is adjacent to the purification membrane 27 on above-mentioned discharge face 21a became discharge face.Equally, when substrate 2 was not adjacent on first electrode, 10 surfaces, as above-mentioned, the surface of first electrode 10 became discharge face 10a, yet when substrate 2 was adjacent on first electrode 10, the surface that is adjacent to the substrate 2 on above-mentioned discharge face 10a became discharge face.Thereby when substrate 2 and purification membrane 27 were adjacent to respectively on first electrode 10 and small electrode 21, discharge space A was formed by the surface of substrate 2 and purification membrane 27.

Below, the metal matter parent 11,211 and the dielectric medium 12,212 that form first electrode 10 and small electrode 21 are described.
As metal matter parent 11,211 and dielectric medium 12,22 subassemblies, characteristic adapts and is that ideal, one of its characteristic are that the difference of the thermal linear expansion coefficient of metal matter parent 11,211 and dielectric medium 12,212 is 10 * 10 between the two -1/ ℃ below combination.Ideal is 8 * 10 -6/ ℃ below, better be 5 * 10 -6/ ℃ so that 2 * 10 -6/ ℃ below.In addition, thermal linear expansion coefficient is the distinctive physics value of well-known material.
As conductive metal matter parent and the dielectric combination of the difference of thermal linear expansion coefficient in this scope, for example have: 1. metal matter parent is pure titanium or titanium alloy, dielectric medium is ceramic scorching flame spraying film forming, 2. metal matter parent is pure titanium or titanium alloy, dielectric medium is the glass lined face, 3. metal matter parent is a stainless steel, dielectric medium is ceramic scorching flame spraying film forming, 4. metal matter parent is a stainless steel, dielectric medium is the glass lined face, 5. metal matter parent is the matrix material of pottery and iron, dielectric medium is ceramic flame plating film forming, 6. metal matter parent is the matrix material of pottery and iron, dielectric medium is the glass lined face, 7. metal matter parent is the matrix material of pottery and aluminium, dielectric medium is ceramic flame plating film forming, and 8. metal matter parent is the matrix material of pottery and aluminium, dielectric medium is a glass lined face etc.With the such viewpoint of the difference of thermal linear expansion coefficient, 1. above-mentioned or 2. and 5.~8. be desirable, 1. desirable especially.
And, titanium or titanium alloy are particularly useful for metal matter parent 11,211, metal matter parent 11,211 is that titanium or titanium alloy, dielectric medium 12,211 are corresponding material in the aforesaid combination, like this, in can not using electrode aging, particularly can not take place crackle, ftracture, come off etc., can in harsh conditions, use for a long time.
To the metal matter parent 11,211 of the useful electrode of the present invention, be titanium alloy or the titanium metal of titaniferous quality more than 70%.In the present invention, the content of the titanium in titanium alloy or the titanium metal if quality more than 70% just can use by no problem, yet, be ideal to contain the titanium of quality more than 80%.Titanium alloy or the titanium metal useful to the present invention can use general-purpose industrial with pure titanium, corrosion-resistant titanium, high strength titanium etc.As industrial pure titanium, for example, TiA, TiB, TiC, TiD etc. are arranged, all be the material that contains denier iron atom, carbon atom, nitrogen-atoms, Sauerstoffatom, hydrogen atom etc., its titanium content is that quality is more than 99%.As erosion resistant titanium alloy, use T15PB to be ideal, this alloy is except that containing above-mentioned atom, and is also leaded, and titanium content is that quality is more than 98%.In addition, as titanium alloy, remove delead, contain for example aluminium outside the above-mentioned atom, in addition, also contain T64, T325, T525, the TA3 etc. of vanadium and tin, can desirablely use, the titanium content of these alloys is that quality is more than 85%.These titanium alloys and titanium metal and stainless steel, for example, A1S1316 compares, and thermal expansivity is little by about 1/2nd, good with the combination that is applied to as the dielectric medium 12,212 on metal matter parent 11,211 titanium alloys or the titanium metal, can in high temperature, use for a long time.
On the other hand, as dielectric medium 12,212 desired characteristics, specifically be to be that 6~45 mineral compound is for desirable than specific inductivity, in addition, as this dielectric medium, for example, potteries such as aluminum oxide, silicon nitride are arranged, and perhaps silicate is the glass lined plane materiel of glass, borate-based glass etc. etc.Wherein, with ceramic flame plating with the glass lined face is set is ideal.Especially, the dielectric medium 12,212 that forms with the flame plating aluminum oxide is an ideal.
In addition, as one of specification that can anti-high-power electric, to such an extent as to the space rate of dielectric medium 12,212 is volumes below 10%, it is desirable to volume volume below 8% 0% with upper volume below 5%.In addition, as another desired gauge of anti-high-power electric, the thickness of dielectric medium 12,212 is 0.5~2mm.This film thickness change rate is to be desirable below 5%, it is desirable to below 3%, and better is below 1%.
Below, the effect when the film forming device 1 with present embodiment carries out film formation is described, simultaneously, illustrate film is formed suitable various conditions.
At first, along with film forms beginning, control device 50 controls are from each gas supply part 24 ejection gas, to discharge space A supply gas.At this moment, from the gas of gas supply part 24 ejections, by arriving discharge space A through the stream B that forms by a pair of small electrode 21 by purification membrane 27 isolated spaces.On the surperficial 21b of the small electrode 21 of formation stream B, be adjacent to purification membrane 27 all the time, thereby, can prevent that this surface 21b is by the gas contamination in the process stream B.
And, when to discharge space A supply gas, control device 50 control drive sources 51, first orienting roll 16, second orienting roll 18 and first electrode 10 are rotated, the side face that substrate 2 is closely attached on first electrode 10 transports, simultaneously, control take-up roller 33 is closely attached on small electrode 21 surfaces to purification membrane 27 and transports.At this, the velocity of rotation of control take-up roller 33, transporting purification membrane 27 with the travelling speed of 200mm/min~200m/min is ideal.At this, the tension force of the purification membrane 27 on the small electrode 21, because the material of purification membrane 27 is different with thickness, its appropriate value change, however for example, when the material of purification membrane 27 is PET, thickness when being 38 μ m, the tensile appropriate value is 25gf/mm~75gf/mm.When tension force during less than 25gf/mm, purification membrane 27 suspends from small electrode 21, if greater than 75gf/mm, be directed at device and maximize, and local elongation significantly deforms.
When transporting substrate 2, control device 50 is connected first power supply 14 and second source 23.Like this, apply first high-frequency electric field of the frequencies omega 1 supplied with from first power supply 14, strength of electric field V1, electric current I 1 by first electrode 10.On the other hand, apply second high-frequency electric field of the frequencies omega 2 supplied with from second source 23, strength of electric field V2, electric current I 2 by small electrode 21.At this, setpoint frequency ω 2 is than frequencies omega 1 height.
Specifically be, frequencies omega 1 is that 200KHz is following for desirable, and lower limit is 1KHz.The waveform of this electric field can be that continuous wave also can be a pulse wave.On the other hand, frequencies omega 2 is that 800KHz is above for desirable, and frequency higher ion density more just increases more, on be limited to about 200MHz.
In addition, to between electrode, supply with discharge gas, increase this interelectrode strength of electric field, the strength of electric field that begins to discharge is defined as discharge beginning strength of electric field IV, so the relation that setting strength of electric field V1, V2 and discharge begin strength of electric field IV satisfies: formula V1 〉=IV>V2 or V1>IV 〉=V2.For example, be the occasion of nitrogen at discharge gas, this discharge beginning strength of electric field IV is about 3.7kv/mm, by above-mentioned relation, applying strength of electric field V1 is that V1 〉=3.7kv/mm, strength of electric field V2 are V2<3.7kv/mm, so, activate nitrogen, can form isoionic state.
And, the relation of electric current I 1, I2 is ideal with I1<I2.The electric current I 1 of first high-frequency electric field is desirably 0.3mA/cm 2~20mA/cm 2, better be 1.0mA/cm 2~20mA/cm 2In addition, the electric current 12 of second high-frequency electric field is desirably 10mA/cm 2~100mA/cm 2, better is 20mA/cm 2~100mA/cm 2
Like this, when taking place by first high-frequency electric field of first electrode 10 and during by second high-frequency electric field of small electrode 21, the high-frequency electric field of overlap in discharge space A first high-frequency electric field and second high-frequency electric field is with gas reaction generation plasma discharging.The plasma Space H that plasma discharging takes place, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, though overflow from the discharge face 10a of first electrode 10 and the discharge face 21a of small electrode 21, but substrate 2 and purification membrane 27 with the discharge face 10a of first electrode 10 and small electrode 21, before 21a is adjacent to, with in succession in the discharge face 10a of first electrode 10 and small electrode 21, the discharge face 10a of 21a, surface beyond the 21a is adjacent to, therefore, with by above-mentioned discharge face 10a, the state of the surface bearing beyond the 21a enters the plasma Space H, like this, even it is also smooth that substrate 2 and purification membrane 27 are influenced by heat, therefore, can prevent that wrinkle and distortion from taking place.
And then, first electrode 10 and small electrode 21, its surface temperature is respectively by temperature control equipment 4,6 control, so substrate 2 and purification membrane 27 were given heat by the surface beyond discharge face 10a, the 21a before entering the plasma Space H.Therefore,, also can prevent from sharply and excessively to be subjected to heat affecting, can suppress because the contraction that the heat of plasma discharging causes even substrate 2 and purification membrane 27 enter the plasma Space H.Thereby, can further prevent from substrate 2 and purification membrane 27, to take place wrinkle and distortion.Especially on small electrode 21, guarantee that purification membrane 27 enters the regulation area on the discharge face 21a surface in addition of plasma Space H contact in the past, thereby, before arriving discharge face 21a, can heat purification membrane 27 continuously, can sharply not heat at small electrode 21 yet, can further suppress to take place wrinkle and distortion.In addition, also can not heat continuously and carry out intermittence and heat.
And, in the process that substrate 2 passes through in the plasma Space H, on substrate 2, form film.Because the temperature variation of the substrate 2 in the plasma discharge treatment, the physical properties and the composition of the film that obtains can change, thereby, when forming film, make by temperature control equipment 4 and carry out temperature controlled medium at first electrode, 10 internal recycle, control the surface temperature of first electrode 10, the temperature of suitably regulating substrate 2 is ideal.At this, temperature control equipment 4 is temperature regulation 20 ℃~300 ℃, is desirably 80 ℃~100 ℃ with the medium temperature regulation, so that substrate 2 is able to bring into play the temperature of the performance of regulation.On the other hand, at temperature control equipment 6, also temperature regulation is 20 ℃~300 ℃, is desirably 80 ℃~100 ℃ with the medium temperature regulation.But,, must be above-mentioned medium temperature regulation the gasification condition temperature that is not less than the gas of use as lower limit temperature.
Then, formed the substrate 2 of film, and be transported to down stroke by orienting roll 18.
As above-mentioned, film forming device 1 according to present embodiment, film conveyer 30 purification membrane 27 be adjacent to the discharge face 21a discharge face 21a in succession of small electrode 21 beyond surperficial 21b after, transport the discharge face 21a that is adjacent at above-mentioned small electrode 21, thereby, at small electrode 21, its surface is capped by being adjacent to of purification membrane 27.Thereby, can prevent that the discharge face 21a of small electrode 21 is contaminated by the gas that is activated.In addition, purification membrane 27 is transported by film conveyer 30, thereby, can be replaced with new film to the purification membrane 27 of the discharge face 21a that is closely attached on small electrode 21 continuously.
In addition, film conveyer 30 is set at each small electrode 21, thereby, transport purification membrane 27 at each small electrode 21, like this, can prevent pollution to each small electrode 21.
And purification membrane 27 is closely attached on the surface beyond the discharge face 21a of small electrode 21 and the discharge face, thereby, when flow system film gas only flows discharge gas, can protect small electrode 21 at discharge space A.
And substrate conveyer 15 transports the discharge face 10a that substrate 2 is adjacent at first electrode 10, thereby the discharge face 10a that can prevent first electrode 10 is by the gas contamination that is activated.And then, this substrate conveyer 15, be adjacent at substrate 2 before the discharge face 10a of first electrode 10, substrate 2 be adjacent to the discharge face 10a discharge face 10a in succession of first electrode 10 beyond the surface, therefore, substrate 2 enters and waits from capable subspace H with the state by the surface bearing beyond the above-mentioned discharge face 10a.Like this, also smooth even substrate 2 is influenced by heat, therefore, can prevent wrinkle and distortion, can form high-quality film.
And then, can be at normal atmosphere or near making film under the atmospheric pressure, thereby, and compare in the occasion of vacuum system film, can make film at a high speed, simultaneously, can continuous production.And, because do not need to be used to form the device of vacuum, so, installation cost can be reduced.
In addition, the present invention is not limited to above-mentioned embodiment, certainly suitably change.
For example, in present embodiment, illustration by transporting purification membrane 27 at direction of principal axis, purification membrane 27 being closely attached on the situation that the discharge face 21a of small electrode 21 transports simultaneously perpendicular to small electrode 21, describe.Yet, transport as long as can be adjacent at discharge face 21a from the surface beyond the discharge face 21a of the discharge face 21a of small electrode 21 in succession, transporting purification membrane 27 in any direction can.For example, can enumerate and axially transport purification membrane 27A along small electrode 21.Below, specify the situation of axially transporting purification membrane 27A with reference to Fig. 7~Fig. 9 along small electrode 21.Fig. 7 is the stereographic map of the general configuration of expression film forming device 1A, Fig. 8 represents that the film among the film forming device 1A forms the front elevation of unit 20A, in addition, Fig. 9 represents the side elevational view of the contact condition of purification membrane 27A among the film forming device 1A and small electrode 21.In addition, the integrant additional phase identical with above-mentioned embodiment with numbering, omitted its explanation.
As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8, film in this film forming device 1A forms unit 20A, corresponding to each small electrode 21 film conveyer 30A is set, its direction of principal axis along small electrode 21 transports purification membrane 27A continuously or intermittently, makes purification membrane 27 be closely attached on small electrode 21 simultaneously.As shown in Figure 9, corresponding to the width of the discharge face 21a of the equidirectional vertical direction of small electrode 21, set the whole width of the purification membrane 27A that transports by this film conveyer 30A.And, in film conveyer 30, as shown in Figure 8, the first film orienting roll 31A that revolution keeps being wound into the purification membrane 27A of web-like freely is set in a side of small electrode 21.In addition, at the opposite side of small electrode 21, the second film orienting roll 32A that batches purification membrane 27A is set.By this film conveyer 30A, purification membrane 27A pulls out from the first film orienting roll 31A, be adjacent to the discharge face discharge face 21a in succession of small electrode 21 beyond surperficial 21c after, be adjacent at discharge face 21a, batched in the second film orienting roll 32A.Like this, purification membrane 27A enters the plasma Space H with the state by the surperficial 21c supporting beyond the discharge face 21a of small electrode 21.Thereby, also smooth even purification membrane 27A is subjected to heat affecting, therefore, can prevent wrinkle and distortion.
In addition, at above-mentioned embodiment, small electrode 21 plays the heater block of the purification membrane 27 among heating the present invention, yet, as long as the discharge face 21a to small electrode 21 can heat at the upstream side of the carriage direction of purification membrane 27, no matter which kind of structure can, in addition, for example can enumerate discharge face 21a, in the mode of the upstream side configuration heating special-purpose member of the carriage direction of purification membrane 27 to small electrode 21.
In addition, at the foregoing description, small electrode 21 becomes prismatic substantially fixing, yet small electrode also can be to turn round the roller that is provided with freely.At this moment, the corresponding purification membrane of small electrode body is transported revolution, therefore can transport purification membrane smoothly.And then the small electrode body is the structure that revolution drives, and can carry out transporting of purification membrane effectively.
In addition, if gas supply part has a plurality of spouts, can prevent that also film from forming gas and flowing out from stream.Below, illustrate that gas supply part has the situation of a plurality of spouts.In the part identical with above-mentioned film forming device 1, additional phase is omitted its explanation with numbering.
Figure 10 is the stereographic map that expression has the gas supply part of a plurality of spouts.As shown in figure 10, at the front end of gas supply part 44, a plurality of spouts 441,442,443 assortments that the spray gas respectively shape that is in line.In a word, these spouts 441,442,443, when gas supply part 44 disposes with respect to gap b, along the axial assortment of small electrode 21 with respect to gap b.
Rearward end at gas supply part 44, connect a plurality of flues 444,445,446, these flues 444,445,446, the gas regulation portion (omitting diagram) of flow, flow velocity, gaseous constituent and concentration etc. by regulating inflow gas pipe 444,445,446 gas inside connects a plurality of gas tanks (omitting diagram) that store gas with various respectively.Gas regulation portion is based on the control of control device 50, the gas that flows into from a plurality of gas tanks separately or be mixed into after promoting the circulation of qi body composition and the concentration adjustment, also carries out adjustings such as flow and flow velocity, then, sends into each tracheae 444,445,446.
And in these a plurality of gas tanks, storage contains the unstripped gas of film formation with raw material in a gas tank at least, simultaneously, stores the no unstripped gas that does not contain above-mentioned raw materials at least in a gas tank.And, when unstripped gas contains discharge gas, at the state that applies electric field by first electrode 10 and small electrode 21, if pass through stream B to discharge space A base feed gas, plasma discharging just takes place activate raw material, yet, when unstripped gas does not contain discharge gas, the gas tank that stores discharge gas must be set.At this moment, unstripped gas and discharge gas are supplied with discharge space A by stream B separately respectively, yet, because in discharge space A, mix, so, if apply electric field at first electrode 10 and small electrode 21, plasma discharging just can take place, activate raw material.
Now, unstripped gas and no unstripped gas are described.
