Definitions
- the invention relates to a CVD deposition process using very high frequency plasma (including microwaves) at atmospheric pressure, and also relates to a device for its implementation as well as to the applications of said method.
- very high frequency plasma including microwaves
- PECVD plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition technology
- the principle of the latter is to excite in a plasma produced by an electric discharge a chemical vapor in contact with a substrate.
- the effect of plasma is to create in the gas phase very reactive unstable precursors which have the property of condensing and reacting on the surface of the substrate to bring in new atoms which progressively constitute a thin surface film of material.
- the PECVD is potentially better suited to the uniform deposition of material on objects of three-dimensional shape because the transport of chemical species is less directive than that of physical species (evaporated or atomized atoms) and can be controlled by acting on hydrodynamics and diffusion in the phase gas.
- plasma-CVD technology was developed for the elaboration of thin layers of materials constituting microelectronic circuits, LCD flat screens and solar cells. These applications require the use of ultra-clean reactors with very high purity gases, and a substrate temperature of at least about 200 ° C.
- the deposit rate must therefore be the higher possible.
- Most of the industrial products covered by these new functional coating applications including polymers, thin-foil steels and aluminum alloys, do not withstand a temperature of more than a few tens of degrees above ambient.
- Flat glass can, on the other hand, withstand heating, but since the treatment takes place at a later time after hot manufacture, reheating would be an energy waste not desired by the manufacturers.
- the objects to be coated are generally larger than a silicon wafer, a solar cell or an LCD screen and may be of three-dimensional shape. It may also be necessary to treat continuous thin substrates at the parade.
- High-density plasma sources microwave, inductive or relaxed arc which are capable of delivering a high density of excited free electrons, making it possible to generate by inelastic collisions a large quantity of deposit precursors and thereby to obtain the highest growth rates minimizing treatment times;
- PECVD reactors of large size and complex engineering to allow to create, transport and deliver a high and uniform flow of chemical and physical non - thermal active species at any point on the surface of the substrate. This results in distributed plasma sources, highly studied chemical gas injection modes, and distributed pumping. It is often advantageous to work at minimal pressures, of the order of 0.1 Pa, in order to obtain a large mean free path and to minimize the influence of hydrodynamics.
- optical filters This type of technology remains reserved for the realization of coatings with rather complex functionalities and sufficient added value: optical filters, multiple protections (wear, aging outside, chemical barrier) innovative nanomaterials, etc.
- PECVD plasma-based design of simpler surface features, addressing common products with low added value, which can be large in size and left-handed, manufactured in very large quantities, there is a real need for a technology.
- PECVD deposition simple, inexpensive and easy to implement at atmospheric pressure. Indeed, the constraints related to vacuum maintenance infrastructure are very important. In addition to the operating costs (energy, maintenance, spare parts and consumables, qualified personnel), a vacuum installation Large requires a specific know-how and infrastructure to operate reliably and reliably over the next 24 hours, by managing complex sequential or continuous airlock systems, bottleneck loading and unloading operations, etc ..
- the radical chemical species that constitute the raw material of the deposit will have an important tendency to react prematurely between them even before reaching the surface of the film. This can result in homogeneous phase nucleation and irreversible generation of totally undesirable solid particles.
- the radicals will aggregate into a cluster of larger bound atoms which, just after their arrival on the surface, will be more difficult to rearrange by non-thermal energy than condensing atoms. isolation.
- the species carrying this non-thermal energy lose their internal excitation more easily than in a rarefied gas before reaching the surface.
- the best known type is the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), maintained between two electrodes supplied with low frequency AC voltage, and whose surfaces are coated with a dielectric material.
- DBD dielectric barrier discharge
- This dielectric prevents the passage to the arc regime by limiting the discharge current.
- this arrangement does not generally make it possible to obtain a homogeneous discharge. As soon as a sufficient power is applied to obtain the initiation or "breakdown" of the discharge (ie a regime where the ionization compensates for the losses of charged particles), we observe that the ionization intensifies and propagates very rapidly.
- a gas whose excitation will give a particular metastable species necessary for good control of the ionization regime may be otherwise undesirable for the process.
- a chemical precursor vapor can react with an excited species involved in the homogeneous ionization process and make it disappear prematurely, and thus return the discharge to the filament regime.
- the conditions for maintaining the homogeneous regime can also be sensitive to additional constraints imposed by the PECVD process such as the dynamics of the gas flow and the heating of the substrate.
- the parallel flat electrodes may have a relatively large surface area, but on the other hand the spacing may not exceed a few millimeters in the case of the discharge.
- these substrates must be of relatively insulating material. The introduction of any conductive substrate within the discharge immediately induces the transition to inhomogeneous filamentary mode.
- microwave atmospheric discharges have notoriously high electronic densities, from 10 12 to 10 15 cm -3 as close as possible to the coupling of microwaves with plasma, and electronic inelastic collisions produce a large number of active chemical and physical species that promote a high deposition rate with good layer quality. It has therefore also been envisaged to implement microwave atmospheric discharges for surface treatment.
- Microwave-Excited Plasmas eds. M. Moisan and J. Pelletier, Chap. 4-5, Elsevier (1992): Sources located inside a microwave circuit in a guide, resonant cavities, surface wave launchers and torches. With the exception of the resonant cavities, these devices maintain plasmas in low volumes (generally inside small diameter dielectric tubes) which makes them poorly adapted to CVD deposition on extended forms.
- microsewave field planar geometry applicators for maintaining plasmas over large areas, for example radiating slot waveguides, planar propagators or flat surface wave launchers.
- the deposition rate did not appear considerable, not more than a few hundred nanometers per minute, which can be explained by the fact that the high flow of carrier gas "dilutes" the injected power, thus decreasing the rate the creation of depositing species.
- the very high consumption of argon is also not a favorable economic factor.
- the second example is the AtmoPlas TM technology from Dana Corp. (now owned by BTU International).
- the plasma is homogenized on average by dispersing conductive particles in the gas which act as relocated ignition centers and thus permanently induce the absorption of microwaves to ionize the gas in the whole volume. .
- the presence of these particles does not seem compatible with performing a CVD deposit of well controlled composition and microstructure.
- microwaves The definition of the low limit of the frequency range corresponding to what is usually referred to as microwaves is not absolute.
- One of the legally permitted frequencies for industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) applications is the 434 MHz spectrum that some authors do not use as microwave (although the name is used from the next higher frequency) 915 MHz). We will therefore speak rather in the wake of very high frequencies, to designate those located well beyond 100 MHz.
- the present inventors have described in the patent application filed that same day by the Applicant a very high frequency plasma source elongated conductor (microstrip type or hollow conductive line).
- the principle of this plasma source is based on a very high frequency wave propagator structure, consisting of the conductive (hollow or micro-ribbon) line applied to a dielectric substrate that separates it from the plasma. The latter is generated by the very high frequency power absorbed during its propagation along the conductor.
- the patent application filed by the Applicant on the same day as the present application relates to a plasma generating device which comprises at least one very high frequency power source (frequency greater than 100 MHz), connected via an adaptation system of the present invention.
- the principle of this plasma generation mode is therefore to propagate the electromagnetic power along the power transmission line based on the micro-ribbon, to distribute this power and excite the plasma delocalized along the line.
- the actual existence of said line requires the presence of a mass reference which, in the prior art, is in the form of a continuous conducting metal plane.
- the Applicant has had the merit of having thought to consider that the plasma sheet is a driver with a potential that can therefore perfectly serve as a potential reference for the power transmission line.
- the device for the device to actually operate, it is necessary to add an absolute local reference of potential making it possible to format the propagation mode: the device comprises a partial electrical ground plane extending opposite the face of the dielectric opposite to the side supporting the driver, the partial character of the ground plane being expressed in that only a minority surface of the line of the driver is facing a ground plane.
- the partial ground plane is located at the origin of the line of the driver, where the microwaves arrive in the device.
- the launch zone of the wave at the entrance of the conductive line has a conventional structure assembling the elongate conductor, the dielectric and the partial ground plane, the ground plane interrupting at a short distance from the input of the conductive line and then being replaced as a potential reference of the plasma transmission line extending with the conductor over the rest of the length of the conductive line.
- the launch zone of the wave at the entrance of the conductive line, has a conventional structure assembling the elongate conductor, the dielectric and the partial ground plane, the ground plane interrupting at a short distance from the input of the conductive line and then being replaced by the plasma, the conductor not extending substantially beyond the limit of the ground plane.
- plasma plays both the reference role of potential and guide support of the propagation of the wave (mode similar to a surface wave but here in planar geometry).
- the present invention is based on the use of this type of ultra-high frequency field plasma micro-ribbon applicator to produce a plasma-CVD module delivering a "curtain" active gas flow previously excited in the plasma dense and homogeneous, said curtain of active gas impacting the surface of a substrate.
- the active gas may still have the characteristics of a plasma, that is to say contain a significant proportion of charged particles, or be essentially a post-discharge medium, that is to say containing only neutral active and / or excited species. These are the fastest flux rates that favor the survival of charged species (which are the ones whose population decreases most rapidly) at a distance from their place of creation by coupling the energy of the electromagnetic wave to the gas.
- This plasma device has the best efficiency in terms of the use of electrical energy to create depositing active species. Electrical energy is not massively converted into heat as would be the case in an arc plasma for example and the temperature of the gas remains low enough that the treatment of heat sensitive substrates is possible, by adjusting the rate of passage of the substrate in the jet of active gas.
- the plasma module can be used to deposit thin layers of material on moving planar substrates, or be embedded on a robot arm to perform these same treatments by a controlled scanning movement on three-dimensional substrates.
- the invention is well suited to the application of an electrically conductive inorganic layer on automotive body elements, particularly bumpers, before the application of the electrostatic spray paint. This layer is intended to replace liquid-applied conductive adhesion primer solutions requiring time-consuming drying.
- the present invention relates to a CVD deposition process on a substrate which is led to pressure characterized by the fact that it is assisted by a very high frequency plasma produced by means of a field applicator using an elongated conductor of small section in front of its length (whether of the microstrip or line type). hollow, for example cylindrical).
- the plasma source is powered by electromagnetic power
- very high frequencies means frequencies greater than 100 MHz, and in particular the “discrete” frequencies at 434 MHz, 915 MHz, 2450 MHz and 5850 MHz which are authorized by the international regulations for the Industrial, Scientific and Medical band.
- the plasmagenic gas is preferably argon, optionally supplemented with from 0.1 to 5%, preferably from 0.2 to 4% and even more preferably from 0.5 to 2% by weight. nitrogen volume.
- argon the plasma maintained in the geometry of the device according to the invention remains visually homogeneous without any apparent manifestation of contraction or filamentation.
- the operation at atmospheric pressure in pure nitrogen is impossible: on the one hand we do not have sufficiently powerful microwave sources, but also the structure is not designed to accommodate the minimum power densities corresponding to the maintenance of an atmospheric nitrogen plasma.
- the use of argon is perfectly acceptable economically for most of the industrial processes covered by the invention.
- the possible addition of a few percent of nitrogen can help modify the energy transfers in the landfill to help obtain certain depositing radicals.
- the chemical nature of the precursor will obviously be chosen in the first place depending on the chemical elements to constitute the solid material to be deposited. However, other criteria specific to the implementation of the precursor in the atmospheric PECVD process will be taken into account.
- Some of these precursors will be "normal" gases stored in compressed form, or liquefied under a high vapor pressure at room temperature, such as, for example, silane, methane, acetylene, etc.
- gases such as, for example, silane, methane, acetylene, etc.
- This carrier gas may be chosen from the group comprising argon, nitrogen, helium, krypton, xenon and neon. It is not present at the level of the plasma generation zone and its plasmagenic properties are therefore of no importance.
- the precursors are chosen from the group comprising gases stored in compressed form, or liquefied under a high vapor pressure at ambient temperature, low vapor pressure liquid organometallics, and mixtures thereof.
- the gaseous precursors are chosen from the group comprising in particular silane, methane, acetylene, ethylene and their mixtures.
- the organometallics are chosen from the group comprising the precursors of solid materials oxides, nitrides, metal carbides and mixtures thereof, more particularly the organic compounds of titanium, tin and tetramethylsilane.
- the process which is the subject of the invention is subject to limitations resulting from the much more frequent interactions between particles in the gas phase.
- the main plasmagenic carrier gas typically argon
- the plasma is highly excited at the channel underlying the microstrip line.
- the plasma thus created has the characteristics of a microwave plasma atmospheric, homogenized by the dynamic flow of the gas. Its electron density at this point is of the order of 10 11 - 10 12 cm -3 and the temperature of the gas can be from 1000 to 2000 K.
- the general principle of this mode of deposition by active gas jet extracted from a high-density plasma consists in using this high concentration of energy to generate, after injection of a chemical precursor, a large flow of active physical and chemical species, and at the same time to transport these species in the flow of gas in the shortest time to the surface of the substrate, so that 1) the decrease of the number of precursor radicals is limited in order to maintain a high deposition rate, 2) it also limits the losses of excited physical species that will assist the rearrangement incident atoms and densify the deposited material, 3) reduces the probability of oligomerization of precursors into clusters of larger and more difficult atoms to accommodate optimally in the film, which another factor of non-quality.
- the chemical compound precursor deposition must be introduced into the main stream at a not too great distance downstream of the plasma excitation zone, so that the dissociation of the precursor to form active radicals is sufficiently complete.
- there is no point in prolonging the transit path of these radicals towards the surface of the substrate since they will have a higher probability of reacting in the gas phase, or of becoming inactive and being lost to the deposition process, either to undergo an oligomerization prejudicial to the quality.
- dynamic deposition mode relative tangential displacement of the source PECVD and the treated substrate
- the maximum temperature also depends on the speed of scrolling or scanning).
- the method of the present invention is implemented using a device as described in the patent application filed today by the Applicant (described again above in the present description. ) associated with a precursor power supply.
- the invention relates to a plasma-enhanced vapor phase thin film deposition device which comprises at least one very high frequency source (> 100 MHz) connected via an impedance matching device to an elongated section conductor.
- the dielectric support means an inlet typically emerging less than 15 mm from the support, and preferably less than 10 mm from the support.
- the term "microstrip” means an electrically conductive element of elongated shape and thin, typically of the order of one millimeter or less than one millimeter.
- the length and the width of the microstrip are not arbitrary and will be dimensioned so as to optimize the propagation properties of the power along the transmission line constituted by the microstrip.
- the microstrip may be replaced by a hollow elongated element, in particular of round, rectangular or square section, the thickness of the wall of the hollow tube being sufficient for good mechanical strength. and without effect on electrical behavior.
- the micro-ribbon is not constrained to a flat, straight geometry, but may also adopt a curved shape in the plane or a left shape in the direction of its length with concave or convex curvatures.
- the practical thickness in which the current will flow will be much less than 0.1 mm.
- the thickness of the micro-ribbon will be much greater than the Theoretical thickness defined by the skin effect and it will be necessary to cool the micro-ribbon so that it retains its physical integrity.
- the microstrip will have a thickness of the order of a millimeter and be made of a good electrical and thermal conductor material selected from those having good mechanical strength, which may be copper alloys such as brass or preferably beryllium copper.
- the device according to the invention comprises, below the channel formed in the dielectric substrate and confining the region of creation of the plasma by coupling with the microwave power, a slot through which the curtain of active flux gas extracted from said plasma creation zone and the precursor feed means are placed in such a way that the precursors arrive in the slot perpendicularly to the active gas flow.
- the flow of plasmagenic gas is symmetrically fed by two opposite lateral inputs at the level of the active coupling zone of the microwave power to the plasma.
- these inputs can lead to a variable distance from the surface of the dielectric substrate to give a dynamics of the adapted gas flow in the confinement channel of the plasma.
- the inputs may open near the lower limit of the microwave coupling zone, or even slightly beyond.
- the flow is then forced in the direction perpendicular to the injection slot of the jet or "curtain” of active gas towards the surface of the substrate.
- the carrier gas of the chemical precursors bringing the constituent atoms of the material to be deposited, is injected symmetrically in bypass in the flow of active gas.
- the feed means of the precursors are arranged in a power supply unit placed under the device.
- Said power supply unit can be removably placed. It is then possible to have a set of power supplies of different heights.
- the choice of the power supply makes it possible to adapt both the distance of the plasma excitation zone by coupling the very high frequency power under the microstrip at the outlet of the jet into the free space. as well as the distance between the precursor injection and the substrate to be treated, under the conditions of the treatment.
- the device according to the invention is implemented at atmospheric pressure, because of the dynamics of the gaseous flow at impact on the surface, all the incident radicals do not directly reach the latter for s to permanently incorporate into the film and there is established recirculations in the vicinity of the surface which will increase the residence time of the radicals in the gas phase and promote the interactions within said gas phase, in a way detrimental to the quality of the material deposited on both sides of the impact of the plasma curtain. It is therefore interesting to adapt the shape of the plasma injection slot by adding, for example, devices deflectors on the treatment head to reduce recirculation.
- the optimized shape of the microstrip line makes it possible to generate the plasma in the underlying slot over a length close to 150 mm and a section close to 8 mm with an incident power of 300 W used with a yield of 97%, which represents a linear density of energy, and therefore of very substantial active species.
- the device used in a plasma gas where argon is very much in the majority can withstand very significantly higher powers, for example from 500 to 600 W, thereby improving the speed and quality of the deposit.
- the range of total gas flows (plasmagene, carrier and precursors) allowing this operation, approximately 10 to 100 standard liters per minute (slm), offers extensive possibilities for controlling the transfer dynamics of jet active species from plasma on the substrate to be treated in order to optimize the process.
- the device is finally remarkable for the quality of its plasma energy transmission efficiency (impedance matching). Even more than a very low average value of the reflected power (3%), this value is maintained over a very wide range of variation of the operational parameters.
- the operation of the PECVD module will therefore be particularly robust and insensitive to variations and fluctuations in the operating conditions imposed by the application (multi-step processing, idling between passes, etc.).
- FIG. 1 represents a cross-section of a device according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows a cross section of an alternative with a cylindrical section transmission line incorporating an internal water circulation.
- FIG. 1 shows a device 1 according to the invention consisting of the following different elements stacked on each other: a base 2 traversed by two symmetrical longitudinal channels 3a and 3b in which the precursor elements for deposition of solid materials circulate, these channels being each symmetrically connected by a slot 4a and 4b of distribution of the precursor to a central outlet slot 5 for extracting the active gas stream from the plasma 6; a dielectric 7 in the form of a parallelepiped plate; a microstrip 8 disposed centrally on the face 7a of the dielectric 7, consisting of a conductive metal strip, connected to the connector (not shown); the width of the microstrip is greater than that of the slot 5 so that the upper face of the base 2 acts as a partial ground plane; a dielectric radiator 9 made of ceramic, having a longitudinal channel 10 in which water circulates, is plated over the entire surface of the microstrip 8; a main distribution block 11 having two symmetrical halves 11a and 11b of generally parallelepipedal shape with in the lower part
- the metal plate 15 closes the block 11 in the upper part, the assembly thus constituting a Faraday cage in order to confine the very high frequency electromagnetic radiation delivered by the microstrip so as not to lose energy and not to disturb the environment (problems of electromagnetic compatibility and operator safety).
- a priming lock 18 low pressure plasma.
- This airlock makes it possible to lower if necessary, by means of external pumping means (not shown), the pressure at the coupling zone of the electromagnetic power under the microstrip to facilitate priming (the latter being notoriously less easy to atmospheric pressure).
- This airlock is shown in dotted lines because it is mobile and is removed as soon as the plasma is primed.
- FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the plasma generating device of the invention which differs from that of FIG.
- dielectric assembly 7 / ribbon 8 / insulating radiator 10 has been replaced by a system comprising a dielectric 19 of parallelepipedal general shape on the surface 19a of which is formed a longitudinal recess conforming to the profile of a propagation line element in the form of hollow conductive tube 21 in which circulates cooling water 22, said hollow tube being overcome a dielectric holding block 23.
- a device according to the invention may advantageously be arranged on a robotic arm so that it is possible to process a substrate that can have a large size and a left shape without displacement of the substrate but by scanning the surface of the substrate using of the robotic arm.
- the method of the invention and / or the device of the invention can be implemented in various applications, in particular for coatings producing one or more features of the anti-abrasion type, chemical barrier, thermal resistance, anti-corrosion , optical filtering, adhesion primer, anti-UV, etc.
- the invention is well suited to the application of an electrically conductive inorganic layer on Automotive polymer body parts, particularly bumpers, prior to the application of electrostatic spray paint.
- This layer is intended to replace liquid - applied conductive adhesion primer solutions which require expensive drying time.
- another object of the invention is the use of the method as described above for applying an electrically conductive inorganic layer to automotive body elements, particularly bumpers, prior to the application of the electrostatic spray paint.
- the material is chosen from the group comprising, in particular, tin oxides, indium tin oxide (ITO) and indium tin oxide, TiN titanium nitride, nitrogen doped titanium oxide. , and optionally doped silicon and / or carbon alloys.
- the corresponding precursors will be in particular tetra-n-butyltin, titanium isopropoxide, tetramethylsilane, ethylene.
- the materials deposited from such precursors make it possible to satisfy the functional criterion of the ability of the primary coating to evacuate the electrostatic charges, which is expressed in terms of given surface resistivity in ohm per square ( ⁇ / D) (any square portion of the coating having the same resistance regardless of its side). Values on the order of 1000 ⁇ / D seem well suited for the application. If we stick to thin layers of reasonable thickness (compared to the expected processing time), typically of the order of 1000 nm thick, this gives the material a resistivity of less than 10 ⁇ 3 ⁇ .m.
