Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a physical vapor deposition apparatus, including:
the device comprises a shell 1, wherein a cavity 11 is arranged in the shell 1, and a target 2 is arranged in the cavity 11;
At least one air inlet pipe 3 communicated with the cavity 11, wherein a part of the at least one air inlet pipe 3, which is positioned in the cavity 11, is provided with a plurality of air outlet holes 31 facing the target 2;

The mixed gas pipe 5, the first end and the at least two raw materials gas input tube 4 intercommunications of mixed gas pipe 5, at least one intake pipe 3 and the second end intercommunication of mixed gas pipe 5.
In this embodiment, at least two raw material gas supply pipes 4 supply different raw material gases, respectively. Different gaseous raw materials get into 5 misce benes of gas mixing pipe after converging, and the gaseous raw materials after the misce bene gets into intake pipe 3, and a plurality of ventholes 31 that 3 parts that lie in the cavity of rethread intake pipe set up release, and the gaseous target in 11 towards the cavity of the gaseous orientation that releases from a plurality of ventholes 31, utilize the gaseous magnetron sputtering coating film that carries out of misce benes. Through set up a plurality of (including two) raw materials gas input tube 4 and gas mixture pipe 5 in casing 1 outside, carry to casing 1 inside through intake pipe 3 again after multiple (including two kinds) raw materials gas mixes in gas mixture pipe 5, can carry out the homogeneous mixing with various raw materials gas in casing 1 outside in advance to make the gas that gets into in casing 1 be homogeneous mixing gas, and then make the membrane thickness of PVD equipment coating even.
Note that, since the raw material gas is introduced into the cavity 11 from the gas inlet pipe 4, the mixed gas pipe 5, and the gas inlet pipe 3, a chemical reaction may occur due to various factors in the process. For example, oxidized. Therefore, inert gas can be introduced to protect the raw material gas and reduce the situation that the raw material gas and the pipe wall generate chemical reaction. Wherein, set up inert gas input tube and can set up through following several kinds of modes:
The first mode is to arrange an inert gas input pipe, the inert gas input pipe is arranged in parallel with at least two raw material gas input pipes, and is communicated with the first end of the mixed gas pipe 5 after being converged by at least two raw material gas input pipes 4, and the second end of the mixed gas pipe 5 is communicated with at least one gas inlet pipe 3. The inert gas and the raw material gas are mixed in the mixed gas pipe 5 and then introduced into the gas inlet pipe 3.
In the second mode, an inert gas is introduced into the at least one raw material gas inlet pipe 4 together with the at least one raw material gas. In this way, it is not necessary to provide an additional inert gas inlet pipe, but only inert gas and at least one remote gas are simultaneously introduced into at least one raw material gas inlet pipe 4.
It should be noted that, in addition to the above two modes, there may be other modes of inputting inert gas, so that the raw material gas is not easy to undergo chemical reaction, and is more introduced into the cavity 11 of the PVD apparatus.
As an alternative embodiment, the plurality of outlet holes 31 may be arranged at equal intervals.
In this embodiment, the part of the air inlet pipe 3 located in the cavity 11 is provided with the air outlets 31 which can be arranged at equal intervals, so that the air released by the air outlets 31 is more uniform.
Further, the aperture of the plurality of outlet holes 31 may gradually increase along the flow direction of the gas in the at least one inlet pipe 3.
The gas flows from the outside of the housing 11 into the cavity 11 through the gas inlet pipe 3. Since the pressure is smaller in the flow direction of the gas, the gas outlet holes 31 having a gradually increasing aperture may be provided in the flow direction of the gas. Thus, although the pressure becomes lower, the released gas can be close to the gas outlet 31 with higher pressure, so that the gas released from the gas outlet 31 in the cavity 11 is more uniform.
optionally, the aperture range of the plurality of air outlets 31 may be 1mm to 10 mm; and/or the spacing of the plurality of outlet holes 31 may range from 5mm to 500 mm.
that is, the aperture range of the gas outlet holes 31 and/or the distance range of the gas outlet holes 31 may be the same as the above range, and in this range, the gas released from the gas outlet holes 31 may be more uniform.
It should be noted that, the aperture range of the plurality of air outlets and the distance range of the plurality of air outlets are not limited to the above ranges, and may also be other value ranges that enable the gas released by the air outlets to be more uniform.

The air inlet section 33 is used for introducing the gas uniformly mixed in the mixed gas pipe 5 into the at least two gas distribution pipe sections 32; the gas distribution pipe section 32 is provided with a plurality of gas outlets 31 for releasing the uniformly mixed gas into the cavity through the plurality of gas outlets. That is, after the gas is uniformly mixed by the gas mixing pipe 5, the gas enters the gas inlet section 33 and is discharged through the plurality of gas outlets 31 on the at least two gas distribution pipe sections 32 communicated with the gas inlet section 33. Wherein, at least two gas distribution pipe sections 32 are provided with a plurality of gas outlet holes facing the target 2 only at the part positioned in the cavity 11.
Alternatively, the air intake section 33 may be provided outside the housing 1 or on the housing 1 or in the cavity 11.
When the air inlet section 33 is disposed outside the casing 1, one part of the at least two air distribution pipe sections 32 is located outside the casing 1, and the other part is located inside the casing 1. The air outlet hole 31 is not provided at the outer portion of the housing 1, and a plurality of air outlet holes 31 are provided at the portion located at the inner portion of the housing 1.
