Description

The method of elastomer bonding of large area target
Technical field
The present invention relates to be used for the sputter target that electronic installation is made, particularly relate to the method that this sputter target is connected to a backboard (backing plate), in deposition chamber, support this sputter target by this backboard.
Background technology
Physical vapour deposition (PVD) is one of processing procedure the most frequently used during electronic installation is made.PVD is the plasma processing that carries out in a vacuum chamber, and in this vacuum chamber, the target of negative bias exposes to the open air comprising to have than heavy atom and (for example, argon gas in the plasma of) rare gas element, or exposes to the open air in the mixed gas that comprises this class rare gas element.Can cause the emission of the atom of target material to the bombardment (or sputter) of target by rare gas element.The atom that penetrates can be accumulated as one deck deposited film on the substrate in vacuum chamber, and this substrate is positioned on the substrate wafer seat of institute's deposit below the target of vacuum chamber.The main difference of flat-panel monitor sputter and known wafer sputter technology is that the flat-panel monitor sputter uses large-area substrates and rectangular shape thereof.
Fig. 1 (prior art) shows a kind of typical DC magnetron PVD reactor 10, and it comprises that a ground connection vacuum chamber 12, one targets 14 are vacuum-sealed in this ground connection vacuum chamber 12 by an electric isolator 16.A DC power supply unit 18 makes this target 14 form negative bias with respect to this vacuum chamber 12, becomes first-class ion so that an argon gas sputter working gas excites.Yet, it should be noted that radio frequency magnetron sputtering method (RFsputting) also belongs to known technology.The argon gas ion of positively charged is attracted by the target 14 of this bias voltage, and by this target 14 material is sputtered on the substrate 20, and this substrate 20 is positioned at the opposite of this target 14 by wafer holder support.One magnetron 24 that is positioned at this back face of target gives a magnetic field that is parallel to these target 14 front surfaces, with the interception electronics, to increase plasma density and to promote sputtering rate.In the sputter reactor in modern times, this magnetron can be smaller, and can scan near these target 14 back sides.In order to promote the uniformity coefficient of erosion and deposit, even a large-scale magnetron also can scan.Aluminium, titanium and copper target are coated with or are connected to by sputter on the target backboard with a sputtered layer form typically, and this target backboard is by more not expensive and be easier to accept the machine material processed and formed.
The sputter reactor mainly is developed as and is used for substantially for carrying out sputter on the circular silicon wafer in the past.Over the years, the size of silicon wafer is increased to 300mm by diameter 50mm.Need sputter target how much greater than wafer size, on wafer, to produce deposit uniformly.Typically, for some material, the wafer sputter target can form with single round member, as, aluminium and copper, and the material higher for difficulty, single continuous sputtering layer then is formed on the backboard.
Early stage in the nineties, the exploitation of sputter reactor be at be used in giant display (as, as the liquid-crystal display (LCD) of computer screen or TV screen) and be formed at thin film transistor (TFT) circuit on the face glass.This technology is applied in the indicating meter of other type a little later, as, plasma display reaches solar panel, and is applied in other panel part, as, plastics and polymkeric substance.Some early stage reactor design is for being used in the panel that size is about 400mm * 600mm.Because the increase of the flat-panel screens size of making, and reach the realization of scale of mass production when cutting apart after a while when make multi-display on the single glass panel, the size of panel has been and has increased continuously.The producing apparatus of flat panel can be on commercial use, be used for carrying out sputter on minimum is the panel of size of 1.8m, and the expected design of this equipment is for being used in the panel that size is not less than 2m * 2m.
Because the increase of panel size, indium links and sputter target is attached to the mode of backboard in conventional passing through, and along with the sputter target size is cumulative, also becomes very expensive.Therefore, need more economical and durable method, sputter target is linked to the backboard that is used for large area substrate processing system.

Embodiment
For large-scale sputter target, the configuration of the target brick of two dimension (as, shown in Figure 2) sometimes be necessary.Orthogonal target brick 32 can be arranged in the rectangular array, and is connected to a target backboard 34.As shown in the orthographic plan of Fig. 2, usually, rectangular target 30 comprises a plurality of rectangular target bricks 32 that are arranged as rectangular array and are connected to a target backboard 34.This target brick size depends on a plurality of factors such as easness that comprise that brick is made, and its number can be 3 * 1,3 * 3,4 * 5 (as shown in Figure 2), or other combination that is suitable for.The basic size of these bricks 32 can (for example) be 750mm * 900mm, thus one 3 * 3 array to be large-scale panel institute necessary.If target material is difficult to use, as, chromium or molybdenum, the then number of the brick in the brick array even more.Illustrated target backboard 34 is rectangular substantially, to meet the shape and the size of the panel for the treatment of the sputter coating, but its corner angle are circular typically, to meet the cavity that supports this backboard 34, and this backboard 34 can comprise a continuation 38 from this cavity, this cavity contains an electric terminal and a plurality of tubulose connector, and the former is used for supplying with this target electric power, and the latter is used to cool off the cooling fluid of this target 30.As shown in Figure 3A, this target backboard 34 that is used for the flat panel sputter is typically by 42,44 formation of two metal plates, and this two metal plate (for example) is then by titanium welding or otherwise connection.Form with linear cooling channel 46 one of in this two flat board 42,44, cooling fluid is flowing in this cooling channel 46.It is more complicated that this backboard 34 more generally is used for the backboard of wafer process, because for the panel size of very big type, cooling bath is set with it, not as a dorsal part vacuum chamber is set, so that the pressure reduction of 30 of very big type targets is minimized.
These bricks 32 can be connected to backboard 34 on its chamber side with a gap 48, and perhaps this gap 48 is formed between these bricks 32.Typically, these bricks 32 be shaped as parallel tubular shape with right angle, and exist the brick array around may form the exception at oblique angle.These gap 48 desires satisfy to make change and the thermal expansion of brick, and its distance is 0 to 0.5mm.Adjacent brick 32 can be directly near, but can not push each other.On the other hand, the width in this gap 48 can not be greater than the plasma dark space, and this is corresponding with the thickness of plasma sheath layer usually, and generally speaking, owing to the usual pressure of argon gas working gas, this gap 48 should be wider than 0.5mm a little.Plasma can't form in the space less than the minor increment of plasma dark space.In addition, shown in the orthographic plan of Fig. 3 B, for the corner district 70 of 32 of four bricks, four bricks 32 that are arranged as rectangular array are easy to along sliding each other, and because of the improper alignment of the different in width in the gap between brick 48.One gap promptly means the point or the space of the interface between at least three bricks, thereby this proper noun does not comprise two lines between brick.Even maximum gap also can appear in the good gap 72 that limits between these bricks 32.To be lower than this plasma dark space be very important so the maximum width in gap 72 is maintained, and this can be avoided forming plasma in this gap 72.Therefore, when these bricks of sputter, the titanium backboard 34 of underlay can not produce sputter.
Get back to Fig. 2, these bricks 32 can be arranged in the rectangular profile 40, to meet or to be a bit larger tham the area of the target 30 of desiring to carry out sputter generally.The magnetron 24 of Fig. 1 can scan in this profile 40.Plate washer or alternate manner can be exposed to high-density plasma in order to the not tile work surface of avoiding backboard 34 and by sputter.And do not require the backboard 34 that carries out clear sputter (as, make and supported molybdenum or other brick with materials such as titaniums).Even this backboard 34, does not require this backboard by constituting with these target brick 32 identical materials yet and produces sputter.This backboard 34 is structures of a complexity, and when one group of brick 32 exhausts the back and will be used for one group of new brick 32, promptly should repolish.Any sputter of this backboard 34 all should be avoided.
A plurality of processes are arranged and connect material and can be used for the target brick is connected to this backboard.Fig. 4 represents a kind of common processing procedure (prior art), comprises an equipment, and it comprises two warm tables 60,62.These bricks 32 can be coated its dorsal part with an adhesion coating 64 (as, indium).This warm table 60 can be heated to about 200 ℃ with the brick 32 of this coating, far above 156 ℃ of the fusing points of indium, so indium can soak these bricks 32 and form a uniform smelting zone.Similarly, this backboard 34 can place on another warm table 62, and can be heated to about 200 ℃ with 66 coatings of indium coating.Because of the use of the indium coating 64,66 of molten state, these bricks 32 can remove by this first 60, reversing, and be positioned over backboard 34 tops of indium coating 64,66 with this fusing, these coatings 64,66 face with each other and its sputter faces up.During cooling, indium can solidify and these bricks 32 are connected to this backboard 34.
Along with indium is connected to this backboard with the target brick, because the different thermal expansion of this target brick and the storeroom of this backboard, for example, molybdenum target is connected to the aluminium backboard, can produce a problem.When the connection temperature of this tie-in module by about 200 ℃ indium, when being cooled to room temperature, this different thermal expansion is easy to make this assembly bending.Because the pliability of solid indium, this sinuousness can be pushed back by this tie-in module.Yet, the normally uncontrollable program of such extrusion, and these bricks may during extrusion slide over each other, and produce unfavorable unjustified, as, greater than the gap of plasma dark space (for example, 1mm).
In addition, large-scale like this physical construction is difficult for controlling for the ideal degree of registration is provided, particularly, even a plurality of bricks that connect is neither greater than 0.5mm apart.Therefore, unjustified brick 32 the wideest gaps can become greater than the plasma dark space, for example, 1mm, then plasma can be propagated to this backboard 23.If this gap only is slightly wider than this plasma dark space, the isoionic state in this gap promptly can be unstable, and be easy to make the particle of this target material but not atom produces and peels off, thereby the generation particle that can pollute.If plasma reaches this backboard, promptly can carry out sputter.If these bricks are different with the material of this backboard, then the sputter of this backboard can cause the pollution of material.Moreover the sputter of this backboard can make that being used for re-using of backboard that repolishes target becomes more difficult.
Embodiments of the invention provide a kind of and use the elasticity tackiness agent and sputter target or target brick are connected to the method for this backboard.Have connection the target brick backboard can lower temperature (as, be lower than 100 to 150 ℃) time solidifies, and reduced this backboard and a plurality of connection target brick produces crooked risk.Notion of the present invention can be applicable to sputter target or the target brick that connects all any sizes, and it is used in the substrate of handling any kind.Notion of the present invention can be applicable to greater than 750cm 2Target, be preferably and be applied in greater than 2000cm 2Target, be more preferred from and be applied in greater than 15000cm 2Target, and the best is used for greater than 40000cm 2Target.Fig. 5 demonstration is connected to the sectional view of a backboard 110 with an elasticity adhesive coating 120 with a target (or target brick) 130 by using at least one wire netting 125.This target 130 can be a monolithic target, is welded into a plurality of target bricks of a slice, a plurality of target bricks that are closely adjacent to each other and place, or a plurality of target bricks that are closely adjacent to each other and place and weld.This target can any kind sputter material make, this material contains just like elements such as aluminium, copper, gold, nickel, tin, molybdenum, chromium, zinc, palladium, stainless steel, indium, titanium, tungsten, neodymiums, and combination.The film example that forms with the deposit of sputter target institute comprises: aluminium, neodymium aluminium, aluminium alloy, copper, copper alloy, gold, nickel, tin, tin alloy, molybdenum, molybdenum nitride, titanium, titanium nitride, tantalum, tantalum nitride, tungsten, chromium, zinc, zinc oxide, palladium, palldium alloy, stainless steel, and tin indium oxide (ITO).
