Description

【考案の詳細な説明】[Detailed description of the device]

【0001】[0001]

【産業上の利用分野】[Industrial applications]

この考案は、放電により所望のガス種のイオンやラジカルを生成し、これをビ ーム状として真空容器内の所定の箇所に放出する放電管に関する。 The present invention relates to a discharge tube that generates ions or radicals of a desired gas species by discharge and discharges them into a beam at a predetermined location in a vacuum container.

【0002】[0002]

【従来の技術】[Prior art]

従来、真空薄膜評価装置において、イオンビームやラジカルビーム等を得る為 に、薄膜が形成された基板を収容する真空容器内に、放電管を設置している。放 電管内に所望のガスを導入して放電を起し、放電によって生じたイオンやラジカ ルを前記基板へビーム状にして放出するようになっている。 Conventionally, in a vacuum thin film evaluation apparatus, in order to obtain an ion beam, a radical beam, or the like, a discharge tube is installed in a vacuum container containing a substrate on which a thin film is formed. A desired gas is introduced into the discharge tube to cause a discharge, and ions and radicals generated by the discharge are emitted in a beam shape to the substrate.

【0003】 前記放電管の内部圧力は、導入したガスの放電を生起させる為に、10-2〜1 0-5Torr程度の圧力とする一方、前記真空容器内の圧力は、薄膜作成や、他 の分析評価等を行う必要もあることから、10-5〜10-8Torr程度の圧力と している。The internal pressure of the discharge tube is set to a pressure of about 10 −2 to 10 −5 Torr in order to cause discharge of the introduced gas, while the pressure inside the vacuum vessel is set to a thin film formation, Since it is necessary to perform other analytical evaluations, the pressure is set to about 10 -5 to 10 -8 Torr.

【0004】[0004]

【考案が解決しようとする課題】[Problems to be solved by the device]

放電管内の圧力と真空容器内の圧力の間に前記のような差圧を維持する為に、 ガスが導入される放電管を真空封止構造とする必要があり、従来の放電管では図 4のように石英製として真空封止部Aを融接構造としたり、金属製として真空封 止部Aを溶接構造としていたが、放電管を構成した石英または金属が不純物とし て前記イオンビームまたはラジカルビームに混入する問題点があった。 In order to maintain the above-mentioned differential pressure between the pressure inside the discharge tube and the pressure inside the vacuum vessel, the discharge tube into which the gas is introduced needs to have a vacuum sealing structure. As described above, the vacuum sealing portion A made of quartz has a fusion-welding structure, and the vacuum sealing portion A made of metal has a welding structure. There was a problem of mixing with the beam.

【0005】 このような不純物混入の対策として、放電管をパイロリティック窒化ボロン( 以下PBNという)或いはパイロリティックグラファイト(以下PGという)で 構成する試みがあったが、この種の材料では図3に示したように真空封止が難し く、放電管に導入したガスが真空容器側にBのように漏れることから、放電管と 真空容器の間に差圧を維持できない問題点があった。As a countermeasure against such contamination of impurities, there has been an attempt to configure the discharge tube with pyrolytic boron nitride (hereinafter referred to as PBN) or pyrolytic graphite (hereinafter referred to as PG). As shown, the vacuum sealing is difficult, and the gas introduced into the discharge tube leaks to the vacuum vessel side as shown by B, so that there is a problem that the differential pressure cannot be maintained between the discharge tube and the vacuum vessel.

【0006】 この考案は上記の問題点に鑑みてなされたもので、融接や溶接によることなく 真空封止を可能とした放電管を提供することを目的としている。The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a discharge tube capable of vacuum sealing without fusion welding or welding.

【0007】[0007]

【課題を解決する為の手段】[Means for solving the problem]

上記の目的を達成したこの考案の放電管は、真空容器内に設置される放電管で あって、筒状本体と、ビーム透過孔が設けられた端板で構成され、前記端板の側 面に突設した柱状嵌入部を前記筒状本体の端部に嵌入固定してあることを特徴と する真空容器内に設置される放電管である。 The discharge tube of the present invention, which has achieved the above-mentioned object, is a discharge tube installed in a vacuum vessel, and is composed of a cylindrical body and an end plate provided with a beam transmission hole, and a side surface of the end plate. A discharge tube installed in a vacuum container, characterized in that a columnar fitting portion projecting from the above is fitted and fixed to an end portion of the cylindrical main body.

【0008】 また、真空容器内に設置される放電管であって、パイロリティック窒化ボロン 又はパイロリティックグラファイト製とした、筒状本体とビーム透過孔が設けら れた端板で構成され、前記端板の側面に少なくとも1mmの長さで突設した柱状 嵌入部の径を、前記筒状本体の内径より0.1〜0.4mm大きくしてあり、該 柱状嵌入部を筒状本体の端部に嵌入固定してあることを特徴とする真空容器内に 設置される放電管である。Further, a discharge tube installed in a vacuum container, which is made of a pyrolytic boron nitride or a pyrolytic graphite and is composed of a cylindrical body and an end plate provided with a beam transmission hole, The diameter of the columnar fitting portion protruding from the side surface of the plate with a length of at least 1 mm is made larger than the inner diameter of the tubular body by 0.1 to 0.4 mm. It is a discharge tube installed in a vacuum container characterized by being fitted and fixed in.

【0009】[0009]

【作用】[Action]

この考案の放電管では、端板と筒状本体の接合部が、端板の柱状嵌入部の筒状 本体の端部への嵌入固定によって真空封止される。 In the discharge tube of the present invention, the joint portion between the end plate and the tubular body is vacuum-sealed by fitting and fixing the columnar fitting portion of the end plate to the end portion of the tubular body.

【0010】 従って放電管内と真空容器内で差圧を維持することができると共に、不純物混 入を防ぐPBNやPGで放電管を構成することができる。Therefore, the pressure difference can be maintained between the inside of the discharge tube and the vacuum vessel, and the discharge tube can be configured with PBN or PG that prevents the mixture of impurities.

【0011】[0011]

【実施例】【Example】

以下、PBN製としたこの考案の実施例を図1、2を参照して説明する。 An embodiment of this invention made of PBN will be described below with reference to FIGS.

【0012】 図1において、1が真空容器、2が放電管である。放電管2は、筒状本体3( 円筒)と端板4で構成されている。放電の為に、例えば高周波コイルが筒状本体 3の外側に嵌装されるが、複雑化を避ける為に図示はしていない。In FIG. 1, 1 is a vacuum vessel and 2 is a discharge tube. The discharge tube 2 is composed of a tubular body 3 (cylindrical) and an end plate 4. For discharging, for example, a high-frequency coil is fitted on the outside of the cylindrical main body 3, but it is not shown in order to avoid complication.

【0013】 前記筒状本体3と端板4の結合は嵌合構造としてあるもので、端板4の側面に 突設した断面円形の柱状嵌入部5を筒状本体3の端部内側に嵌入することによっ て固定してある。The tubular main body 3 and the end plate 4 are connected to each other by a fitting structure. It is fixed by doing.

【0014】 柱状嵌入部5の長さは少なくとも1mmの長さで形成し、かつ径(直径)は、 筒状本体3の端部内径よりも0.1〜0.4mm大きくすることによって、筒状 本体3と端板4の間に気密を保ち、微小のコンダクタンスしか形成されないよう にしてある。柱状嵌入部5の外周面および筒状本体3の端部内周面は、3ミクロ ン前後の表面荒さで仕上げる。The columnar fitting portion 5 is formed to have a length of at least 1 mm, and the diameter (diameter) is set to be 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm larger than the inner diameter of the end of the cylindrical main body 3 to form a cylinder. Airtightness is maintained between the main body 3 and the end plate 4 so that only a small conductance is formed. The outer peripheral surface of the columnar fitting portion 5 and the inner peripheral surface of the end portion of the cylindrical main body 3 are finished with a surface roughness of about 3 microns.

【0015】 上記実施例の放電管2によって、図2に示したような差圧を、真空容器(チャ ンバー)1と放電管2の間で維持することができた。真空容器1は100 l/s の排気速度を有する排気装置で排気した。前記端板4には直径0.2mmのビー ム透過孔6が設けてある。With the discharge tube 2 of the above-described embodiment, the differential pressure as shown in FIG. 2 could be maintained between the vacuum container (chamber) 1 and the discharge tube 2. The vacuum container 1 was evacuated by an evacuation device having an evacuation rate of 100 l / s. The end plate 4 is provided with a beam transmission hole 6 having a diameter of 0.2 mm.

【0016】 図2から明らかなように、真空容器1側の圧力を放電管2内の圧力に対し、3 桁低い圧力に維持し、かつ10-7〜10-8Torrの超高真空とすることもでき た。図3に示した従来の放電管では、図2の曲線Aのように、真空容器内を10-7 Torr台以下の圧力とすることが困難であったが、大幅に改善することがで きた。筒状本体3および端板4はPBN製であるので、不純物の混入の問題が無 いのは言うまでもない。As is apparent from FIG. 2, the pressure on the vacuum vessel 1 side is maintained at a pressure that is three orders of magnitude lower than the pressure inside the discharge tube 2, and an ultrahigh vacuum of 10 −7 to 10 −8 Torr is set. I was able to do it. In the conventional discharge tube shown in FIG. 3, it was difficult to keep the pressure in the vacuum vessel to the level of 10 −7 Torr or less as shown by the curve A in FIG. 2, but it was possible to make a great improvement. . Since the cylindrical body 3 and the end plate 4 are made of PBN, it goes without saying that there is no problem of mixing impurities.

【0017】 実施例はPBN製としたがPG製も同様に実施することができる。The embodiment is made of PBN, but PG can be similarly used.

【0018】[0018]

【考案の効果】[Effect of device]

以上に説明の通り、この考案によれば、真空容器側の圧力を悪化させない放電 管を提供できる効果がある。 As described above, according to this invention, it is possible to provide a discharge tube that does not deteriorate the pressure on the vacuum vessel side.

【0019】 また、筒状本体および端板をPBN製またはPG製とすることによって、イオ ンまたはラジカルビームへ不純物が混入しない放電管とできる効果がある。Further, by making the cylindrical main body and the end plate made of PBN or PG, there is an effect that a discharge tube in which impurities are not mixed into the ion or radical beam can be obtained.
