Description

本発明は蒸着装置に関し、特に、ダイヤモンド・ライク・カーボン(DLC)や半導体の高誘電体薄膜、絶縁膜、銅薄膜、磁性薄膜、高融点金属薄膜に適した成膜装置。   The present invention relates to a vapor deposition apparatus, and in particular, a film forming apparatus suitable for diamond-like carbon (DLC), a semiconductor high dielectric thin film, an insulating film, a copper thin film, a magnetic thin film, and a refractory metal thin film.

従来より、ダイヤモンド・ライク・カーボン(DLC)や半導体の高誘電体薄膜、絶縁膜、銅薄膜、磁性薄膜、高融点金属薄膜等の成膜形成する際には、蒸着装置が用いられている。   Conventionally, a vapor deposition apparatus has been used for forming diamond-like carbon (DLC), a semiconductor high dielectric thin film, an insulating film, a copper thin film, a magnetic thin film, a refractory metal thin film, or the like.

図6の符号101は従来の蒸着装置の一例であり、この蒸着装置101は真空槽102を有している。この真空槽102内部には、蒸着源103が配置されている。   Reference numeral 101 in FIG. 6 is an example of a conventional vapor deposition apparatus, and the vapor deposition apparatus 101 has a vacuum chamber 102. A vapor deposition source 103 is disposed inside the vacuum chamber 102.

蒸着源103は筒状のアノード電極部131と、棒状の放電部130とを有している。アノード電極部131と放電部130は、放電部130がアノード電極部131に挿通された状態で、取付部132によって真空槽102内の底壁にそれぞれ固定されている。   The vapor deposition source 103 includes a cylindrical anode electrode part 131 and a rod-shaped discharge part 130. The anode electrode part 131 and the discharge part 130 are respectively fixed to the bottom wall in the vacuum chamber 102 by the attachment part 132 in a state where the discharge part 130 is inserted through the anode electrode part 131.

放電部130は蒸着材料部135と、トリガ電極137と、棒状電極140とを有している。取付部132の取り付け台133上には絶縁部材134が配置され、トリガ電極137はこの絶縁部材134上に配置され、蒸着材料部135は絶縁ワッシャ139を介してトリガ電極137上に配置されている。   The discharge part 130 has a vapor deposition material part 135, a trigger electrode 137, and a rod-shaped electrode 140. The insulating member 134 is disposed on the mounting base 133 of the mounting portion 132, the trigger electrode 137 is disposed on the insulating member 134, and the vapor deposition material portion 135 is disposed on the trigger electrode 137 via the insulating washer 139. .

蒸着材料部135とトリガ電極137と絶縁部材134と絶縁ワッシャ139はそれぞれリング状に形成されており、棒状電極140はトリガ電極137と蒸着材料部135と絶縁部材134と絶縁ワッシャ139にそれぞれ挿通された状態でその下端が取付部132に固定され、上端は蒸着材料部135と同じ材料で構成されたキャップ136によって覆われている。   The vapor deposition material part 135, the trigger electrode 137, the insulating member 134, and the insulating washer 139 are each formed in a ring shape, and the rod-shaped electrode 140 is inserted through the trigger electrode 137, the vapor deposition material part 135, the insulating member 134, and the insulating washer 139, respectively. In this state, the lower end is fixed to the attachment portion 132, and the upper end is covered with a cap 136 made of the same material as the vapor deposition material portion 135.

蒸着材料部135と棒状電極140は電気的に接続され、他方トリガ電極137は棒状電極140と蒸着材料部135から絶縁されている。棒状電極140とトリガ電極137はトリガ電源125に接続されており、アノード電極部131と真空槽102を接地電位に接続した状態で、棒状電極140に負の電圧を印加し、トリガ電極137に正の電圧を印加すると、トリガ電極137と蒸着材料部135との間にトリガ放電が起こり、該トリガ放電によってアノード電極部131と蒸着材料部135との間にアーク放電が誘起され、大きなアーク電流が流れることにより、蒸着材料部135から蒸着材料の粒子が放出される。   The vapor deposition material portion 135 and the rod-shaped electrode 140 are electrically connected, while the trigger electrode 137 is insulated from the rod-shaped electrode 140 and the vapor deposition material portion 135. The rod-shaped electrode 140 and the trigger electrode 137 are connected to the trigger power source 125, and a negative voltage is applied to the rod-shaped electrode 140 with the anode electrode portion 131 and the vacuum chamber 102 connected to the ground potential, and the trigger electrode 137 is positively connected. Is applied, a trigger discharge occurs between the trigger electrode 137 and the vapor deposition material part 135, and the trigger discharge induces an arc discharge between the anode electrode part 131 and the vapor deposition material part 135, resulting in a large arc current. By flowing, the vapor deposition material particles are released from the vapor deposition material part 135.

蒸着材料の粒子のうち、電荷粒子比の小さい巨大荷電粒子や中性粒子は直進し、アノード電極部131の壁面に衝突するが、電荷質量比の大きな荷電粒子はアノード電極部131の開口から放出され、真空槽102内に配置された基板111に到達し、薄膜を成長させる。   Among the particles of the vapor deposition material, giant charged particles and neutral particles having a small charged particle ratio go straight and collide with the wall surface of the anode electrode part 131, but charged particles having a large charge mass ratio are emitted from the opening of the anode electrode part 131. Then, it reaches the substrate 111 disposed in the vacuum chamber 102 and grows a thin film.

ところで、上述した蒸着装置101で成膜を続けると、トリガ電極137と蒸着材料部135との間の絶縁ワッシャ139が徐々に汚れ、その絶縁抵抗が低下する。トリガ電極137と蒸着材料部135との間の絶縁抵抗が低下すると、充分なトリガ(電子やイオン)が発生しなくなり、アーク放電が誘発されなくなるため、結果として成膜が停止してしまう。   By the way, when film formation is continued in the above-described vapor deposition apparatus 101, the insulating washer 139 between the trigger electrode 137 and the vapor deposition material part 135 is gradually soiled, and the insulation resistance thereof is lowered. When the insulation resistance between the trigger electrode 137 and the vapor deposition material part 135 is lowered, sufficient triggers (electrons and ions) are not generated, and arc discharge is not induced. As a result, film formation is stopped.

例えば、蒸着材料部135の蒸着材料として鉄(Fe)を用いた場合は、20000発を超えるとアーク放電が誘発されなくなり、ハフニウム(Hf)やモリブデン(Mo)を蒸着材料として用いた場合、10000発を超えるとアーク放電が誘発されなくなる。   For example, when iron (Fe) is used as the vapor deposition material of the vapor deposition material portion 135, arc discharge is not induced when the number exceeds 20000, and when hafnium (Hf) or molybdenum (Mo) is used as the vapor deposition material, 10000 When the firing is exceeded, arc discharge is not induced.

従って、膜厚の大きい膜を形成する場合や、複数の基板111を連続して成膜する場合には、放電部130を交換する必要があり、放電部130の交換の毎に真空槽102内が大気に晒されるため、作業効率が悪い。   Therefore, when a film having a large thickness is formed or when a plurality of substrates 111 are continuously formed, it is necessary to replace the discharge unit 130. Each time the discharge unit 130 is replaced, the inside of the vacuum chamber 102 is replaced. Is exposed to the atmosphere, so work efficiency is poor.

例えば、一つの真空槽102内に複数の蒸着源103を設け、一つの蒸着源103の成膜効率が低下したら、基板ホルダ119を他の蒸着源103上に移動させ、成膜を行うことも可能である。しかしながら、そのような蒸着装置は蒸着源103を複数設ける分、大型であり、また基板ホルダ119を移動可能にする分、製造コストが高くなる。   For example, when a plurality of vapor deposition sources 103 are provided in one vacuum chamber 102 and the film formation efficiency of one vapor deposition source 103 decreases, the substrate holder 119 is moved onto another vapor deposition source 103 to perform film formation. Is possible. However, such a vapor deposition apparatus is large because a plurality of vapor deposition sources 103 are provided, and the manufacturing cost increases because the substrate holder 119 can be moved.

上述した問題を解決するための蒸着源の典型例が下記特許文献1には開示されている。この蒸着源は、アノード電極部と、アノード電極部の近傍に配置された放電部とを有する。放電部は棒状電極と、複数の略筒状蒸着材料部と、複数の略筒状トリガ電極と、略筒状トリガ電極及び略筒状蒸着材料部を交互に配列して、これらを挿通する棒状電極と、該棒状電極の一端に配設されるキャップとを有する。略筒状蒸着材料部と略筒状トリガ電極との間には、夫々に絶縁部材が配設されている。   A typical example of a vapor deposition source for solving the above-described problem is disclosed in Patent Document 1 below. This vapor deposition source has an anode electrode part and a discharge part arranged in the vicinity of the anode electrode part. The discharge portion is a rod-shaped electrode, a plurality of substantially cylindrical vapor deposition material portions, a plurality of substantially cylindrical trigger electrodes, and a substantially cylindrical trigger electrode and a substantially cylindrical vapor deposition material portion that are alternately arranged and inserted into these rod-shaped electrodes. An electrode, and a cap disposed at one end of the rod-shaped electrode. Insulating members are respectively disposed between the substantially cylindrical vapor deposition material portion and the substantially cylindrical trigger electrode.

これらの絶縁部材によって略筒状トリガ電極の夫々は棒状電極と筒状蒸着材料部とから電気的に絶縁されており、略筒状蒸着材料部は、キャップに接触したものを除いては、その内周面が棒状電極の外周面に接触していることによって棒状電極に電気的に接触されている。筒状蒸着材料部においてキャップに接触したものは、キャップを介して棒状電極に電気的に接続されている。   Each of the substantially cylindrical trigger electrodes is electrically insulated from the rod-shaped electrode and the cylindrical vapor deposition material part by these insulating members, and the substantially cylindrical vapor deposition material part is the Since the inner peripheral surface is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped electrode, it is in electrical contact with the rod-shaped electrode. What contacts the cap in the cylindrical vapor deposition material portion is electrically connected to the rod-shaped electrode through the cap.

しかしながら、上述されたような蒸着源では、アーク放電を繰り返していると筒状蒸着材料部に変形がおこり、これによって棒状電極の外周面と略筒状蒸着材料部の内周面とが離間、或いはキャップと略筒状蒸着材料部の上面が離間してしまう。図7は筒状蒸着材料部135が変形して、棒状電極140の外周面からも、キャップ136の外周面からも離間した状態を示しており、これによって略筒状蒸着材料部135がカソード電位から絶縁されてしまいアーク放電が停止する恐れがある。   However, in the vapor deposition source as described above, when the arc discharge is repeated, the cylindrical vapor deposition material part is deformed, thereby separating the outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped electrode and the inner peripheral surface of the substantially cylindrical vapor deposition material part, Or the upper surface of a cap and a substantially cylindrical vapor deposition material part will space apart. FIG. 7 shows a state in which the cylindrical vapor deposition material portion 135 is deformed and is separated from both the outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped electrode 140 and the outer peripheral surface of the cap 136. There is a risk that the arc discharge will stop.

蒸着材料部135の変形は、アーク放電によって蒸着材料部135の温度が上昇するためにであり、特に低融点材料で蒸着材料部135を構成した場合にはアーク放電の停止が起こりやすかった。例えば、蒸着材料部135が錫(融点:231℃)の場合であると、コンデンサの容量が2200μF、充電電圧100V、アーク放電の周期が1Hzの条件では、アーク放電の回数が200〜300発で放電が停止した。
特開2004−197176号公報
The deformation of the vapor deposition material part 135 is because the temperature of the vapor deposition material part 135 rises due to arc discharge. In particular, when the vapor deposition material part 135 is made of a low melting point material, the arc discharge is likely to stop. For example, when the vapor deposition material part 135 is tin (melting point: 231 ° C.), the number of arc discharges is 200 to 300 on the condition that the capacitance of the capacitor is 2200 μF, the charging voltage is 100 V, and the arc discharge cycle is 1 Hz. Discharge stopped.

本発明は上記のように構成されており、アノード電極と棒状電極の間に電圧を印加した状態で、トリガ電極と蒸着材料の間に電圧を印加すると、蒸着材料とトリガ電極の間にトリガ放電が発生する。
蒸着材料部は蒸着材料を有しており、蒸着材料は蒸着材料部のリングの外周側面に露出している。
The present invention is configured as described above, and when a voltage is applied between the trigger electrode and the vapor deposition material while a voltage is applied between the anode electrode and the rod-shaped electrode, a trigger discharge is generated between the vapor deposition material and the trigger electrode. Will occur.
The vapor deposition material part has a vapor deposition material, and the vapor deposition material is exposed on the outer peripheral side surface of the ring of the vapor deposition material part.

蒸着材料はトリガ電極の近傍位置で露出しており、従ってトリガ放電が発生すると蒸着材料部の外周側面から蒸着材料の蒸気が発生する。トリガ放電によって蒸気が発生すると、アノード電極と蒸着材料部の間にアーク放電が発生する。蒸着材料部は外周側面がアノード電極と対向しており、外周側面には蒸着材料が露出しているから、アーク放電によって蒸着材料の蒸気が発生する。   The vapor deposition material is exposed in the vicinity of the trigger electrode. Therefore, when trigger discharge occurs, vapor of the vapor deposition material is generated from the outer peripheral side surface of the vapor deposition material portion. When steam is generated by the trigger discharge, an arc discharge is generated between the anode electrode and the vapor deposition material part. Since the vapor deposition material portion has an outer peripheral side surface facing the anode electrode, and the vapor deposition material is exposed on the outer peripheral side surface, vapor of the vapor deposition material is generated by arc discharge.

蒸着材料部は、蒸着材料で構成されている場合と、蒸着材料の他に装着部材等の他の部材を有する場合があるが、いずれの場合も蒸着材料部のリング外周側面には蒸着材料が露出しており、トリガ放電やアーク放電が発生すると、その外周側面から蒸着材料の蒸気が発生する。   The vapor deposition material portion may be composed of a vapor deposition material or may have other members such as a mounting member in addition to the vapor deposition material. In any case, the vapor deposition material is present on the outer peripheral side surface of the ring of the vapor deposition material portion. When it is exposed and trigger discharge or arc discharge occurs, vapor of the vapor deposition material is generated from the outer peripheral side surface.

互いのねじ山とねじ溝が噛み合っているので、少しの変形では離間せず、電気的接続が維持される。蒸着材料部と棒状電極はねじ止めされているだけなので、取り外しが容易であり、蒸着材料部の交換を簡単に行うことができる。   Since the screw threads and the screw grooves are engaged with each other, even a slight deformation does not cause separation and electrical connection is maintained. Since the vapor deposition material portion and the rod-shaped electrode are only screwed, they can be easily removed and the vapor deposition material portion can be easily replaced.

図1の符号3は本発明の蒸着源であり、符号1はその蒸着源3が真空槽2内に配置された本発明の蒸着装置である。この蒸着源3は、アノード電極部31と放電部30とを有している。   Reference numeral 3 in FIG. 1 is a vapor deposition source of the present invention, and reference numeral 1 is a vapor deposition apparatus of the present invention in which the vapor deposition source 3 is arranged in a vacuum chamber 2. The vapor deposition source 3 includes an anode electrode part 31 and a discharge part 30.

アノード電極部31は、円筒形、多角筒形等の筒状の金属板であり、一方の開口が真空槽内部に向けられ、他方の開口が真空槽2の底壁に密着して固定されている。アノード電極部31と真空槽2とは電気的に接続されており、真空槽2が接地電位に接続されるとアノード電極部31も接地電位に置かれるようになっている。   The anode electrode portion 31 is a cylindrical metal plate such as a cylindrical shape or a polygonal cylindrical shape, and one opening is directed to the inside of the vacuum chamber, and the other opening is closely fixed to the bottom wall of the vacuum chamber 2. Yes. The anode electrode unit 31 and the vacuum chamber 2 are electrically connected. When the vacuum chamber 2 is connected to the ground potential, the anode electrode unit 31 is also placed at the ground potential.

放電部30は棒状であって、アノード電極部31に挿通された状態で、取付部32によって真空槽2の底壁に固定されている。取付部32は板状であり、表面が真空槽2の内部空間と面するように真空槽2の底壁に取り付けられ、取付部32の表面上には柱状の台座33が立設されている。   The discharge part 30 has a rod shape, and is fixed to the bottom wall of the vacuum chamber 2 by an attachment part 32 while being inserted through the anode electrode part 31. The mounting portion 32 is plate-shaped, and is attached to the bottom wall of the vacuum chamber 2 so that the surface faces the internal space of the vacuum chamber 2, and a columnar pedestal 33 is erected on the surface of the mounting portion 32. .

放電部30は蒸着材料部35と、トリガ電極37と、棒状電極40とを有している。台座33の上端には、それぞれリング形状をした絶縁部材34とトリガ電極37と絶縁ワッシャ39と蒸着材料部35とキャップ36とが台座33側からこの順序で配置されている。   The discharge part 30 has a vapor deposition material part 35, a trigger electrode 37, and a rod-like electrode 40. At the upper end of the pedestal 33, a ring-shaped insulating member 34, a trigger electrode 37, an insulating washer 39, a vapor deposition material portion 35, and a cap 36 are arranged in this order from the pedestal 33 side.

台座33の絶縁部材34側の面には有底の凹部が形成され、絶縁部材34と、トリガ電極37と、絶縁ワッシャ39と、蒸着材料部35はそれらの中心軸線が一致して空洞ができ、その空洞が台座33の凹部の内部空間と連結するようにされ、棒状の部材をその空洞に挿入すると、その部材の先端が凹部内に収容されるよう配置されている。   A bottomed concave portion is formed on the surface of the pedestal 33 on the insulating member 34 side, and the insulating member 34, the trigger electrode 37, the insulating washer 39, and the vapor deposition material portion 35 have cavities with their central axes aligned. The cavity is connected to the internal space of the recess of the pedestal 33, and when a rod-shaped member is inserted into the cavity, the tip of the member is disposed in the recess.

蒸着材料部35のリングの内側、即ち蒸着材料部35の内周面には、雌ねじ42が設けられており、棒状電極40の外周面には雄ねじ41が設けられている。それらのねじが螺合するように、棒状電極40を回転させながら、キャップ36から台座33の凹部に至る空洞に棒状電極40をねじ込むと、棒状電極40の先端が台座33の凹部に収容される。   A female screw 42 is provided on the inner side of the ring of the vapor deposition material portion 35, that is, on the inner peripheral surface of the vapor deposition material portion 35, and a male screw 41 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped electrode 40. When the rod-shaped electrode 40 is screwed into a cavity extending from the cap 36 to the recess of the pedestal 33 while rotating the rod-shaped electrode 40 so that these screws are screwed together, the tip of the rod-shaped electrode 40 is accommodated in the recess of the pedestal 33. .

ここで、台座33の凹部内周面にも雌ねじが設けられており、棒状電極40の下端部分の雄ねじ41と螺合するように構成されている。台座33は取付部32に固定されており、棒状電極40は、台座33にねじ止め固定されることによって、取付部32を介して真空槽2に固定される。   Here, a female screw is also provided on the inner peripheral surface of the recess of the pedestal 33, and is configured to be screwed with the male screw 41 at the lower end portion of the rod-like electrode 40. The pedestal 33 is fixed to the mounting portion 32, and the rod-like electrode 40 is fixed to the vacuum chamber 2 via the mounting portion 32 by being screwed and fixed to the pedestal 33.

絶縁部材34とトリガ電極37と絶縁ワッシャ39と蒸着材料部35の外周は略同一直径であり、絶縁部材34とトリガ電極37と絶縁ワッシャ39とは、この順序で相互に固定されている。絶縁部材34は台座33に固定されており、従って、台座33から絶縁ワッシャ39に至る部材は取付部32に固定されている。   The outer peripheries of the insulating member 34, the trigger electrode 37, the insulating washer 39, and the vapor deposition material portion 35 have substantially the same diameter, and the insulating member 34, the trigger electrode 37, and the insulating washer 39 are fixed to each other in this order. The insulating member 34 is fixed to the pedestal 33, and thus the member from the pedestal 33 to the insulating washer 39 is fixed to the attachment portion 32.

棒状電極40の上端はフランジ状に成形されており、蒸着材料部35が棒状電極40にねじ止め固定されるときに、キャップ36はフランジ部分によって押圧され、蒸着材料部35とキャップ36も取付部32に固定される。   The upper end of the rod-shaped electrode 40 is formed in a flange shape, and when the vapor deposition material portion 35 is screwed and fixed to the rod-shaped electrode 40, the cap 36 is pressed by the flange portion, and the vapor deposition material portion 35 and the cap 36 are also attached portions. 32.

蒸着材料部35と棒状電極40は、雄ねじ41と雌ねじ42が螺合することによって電気的にも接続されている。トリガ電極37は絶縁部材34と絶縁ワッシャ39によって台座33と蒸着材料部35からそれぞれ絶縁されている。トリガ電極37と棒状電極40の間には絶縁部材は配置されていないが、所定距離で離間しており、トリガ電極37と棒状電極40の間の空間の絶縁破壊電圧よりも、絶縁ワッシャ39の表面に沿面放電が生じる電圧が小さいため、トリガ電極37と棒状電極40の間に電圧が印加されると、トリガ電極37と蒸着材料部35の間にトリガ放電が発生するように構成されている。   The vapor deposition material part 35 and the rod-shaped electrode 40 are also electrically connected when the male screw 41 and the female screw 42 are screwed together. The trigger electrode 37 is insulated from the pedestal 33 and the vapor deposition material part 35 by an insulating member 34 and an insulating washer 39, respectively. Although an insulating member is not disposed between the trigger electrode 37 and the rod-shaped electrode 40, the insulating member is separated by a predetermined distance, and the insulating washer 39 has a voltage higher than the dielectric breakdown voltage of the space between the trigger electrode 37 and the rod-shaped electrode 40. Since the voltage at which creeping discharge is generated on the surface is small, the trigger discharge is generated between the trigger electrode 37 and the vapor deposition material portion 35 when a voltage is applied between the trigger electrode 37 and the rod-shaped electrode 40. .

真空槽2の外部にはアーク電源27とトリガ電源25が配置されている。棒状電極40とアノード電極部31はアーク電源27に接続されており、トリガ電極37と棒状電極40はトリガ電源25に接続されている。   An arc power source 27 and a trigger power source 25 are disposed outside the vacuum chamber 2. The rod-shaped electrode 40 and the anode electrode portion 31 are connected to the arc power source 27, and the trigger electrode 37 and the rod-shaped electrode 40 are connected to the trigger power source 25.

真空槽2に接続された真空排気系9を動作させ、真空槽2内を真空排気した後、真空雰囲気を維持しながら成膜対象の基板を真空槽内に搬入し、真空槽2内に配置された基板ホルダ19に保持させる。   After operating the evacuation system 9 connected to the vacuum chamber 2 and evacuating the inside of the vacuum chamber 2, the substrate to be deposited is carried into the vacuum chamber while maintaining the vacuum atmosphere and placed in the vacuum chamber 2. The held substrate holder 19 is held.

図1の符号11は、基板ホルダ19に保持された状態の基板を示している。
この基板11は、蒸着源3の真上に位置しており、基板11の成膜面が蒸着源3に向けられている。
Reference numeral 11 in FIG. 1 indicates the substrate held by the substrate holder 19.
The substrate 11 is positioned immediately above the vapor deposition source 3, and the film formation surface of the substrate 11 is directed to the vapor deposition source 3.

アーク電源27とトリガ電源25を起動し、アノード電極部31と真空槽2を接地電位に接続した状態で、棒状電極40に負の電圧を印加し、トリガ電極37に正の電圧を印加すると、トリガ電極37と蒸着材料部35との間にトリガ放電が起こり、該トリガ放電によってアノード電極部31と蒸着材料部35との間にアーク放電が誘起され、大きなアーク電流が流れる。
ここでは、蒸着材料部35は成膜目的物質である蒸着材料で構成されており、アーク電流が流れると蒸着材料部35から蒸着材料の粒子が放出される。
When the arc power supply 27 and the trigger power supply 25 are activated and the anode electrode unit 31 and the vacuum chamber 2 are connected to the ground potential, a negative voltage is applied to the rod electrode 40 and a positive voltage is applied to the trigger electrode 37. A trigger discharge occurs between the trigger electrode 37 and the vapor deposition material part 35, and an arc discharge is induced between the anode electrode part 31 and the vapor deposition material part 35 by the trigger discharge, and a large arc current flows.
Here, the vapor deposition material part 35 is comprised with the vapor deposition material which is a film-forming target substance, and when the arc current flows, the vapor deposition material particles are emitted from the vapor deposition material part 35.

キャップ36の先端は棒状電極40のフランジ部分よりも上方に突き出され、フランジ部分はキャップ36の内周側面で取り囲まれている。従って、キャップ36とアノード電極部31の間でアーク放電が起こることはあっても、フランジ部分とアノード電極部31の間ではアーク放電が起こらない。   The tip of the cap 36 protrudes above the flange portion of the rod-shaped electrode 40, and the flange portion is surrounded by the inner peripheral side surface of the cap 36. Therefore, even if arc discharge occurs between the cap 36 and the anode electrode part 31, no arc discharge occurs between the flange part and the anode electrode part 31.

キャップ36は蒸着材料部35の蒸着材料と同じ材料で構成されており、キャップ36とアノード電極部31の間でアーク放電が起こると、蒸着材料の粒子が放出される。結局、アノード電極部31の内部には蒸着材料の粒子だけが放出される。   The cap 36 is made of the same material as the vapor deposition material of the vapor deposition material portion 35. When arc discharge occurs between the cap 36 and the anode electrode portion 31, particles of the vapor deposition material are emitted. Eventually, only the particles of the vapor deposition material are released into the anode electrode portion 31.

なお、アーク電源27には不図示のコンデンサユニットが装備されており、アーク電流は、コンデンサユニットの放電によって供給されるから、アーク電流は、コンデンサユニットの放電時間だけ維持されるパルス状の波形になる。   The arc power supply 27 is equipped with a capacitor unit (not shown), and the arc current is supplied by the discharge of the capacitor unit. Therefore, the arc current has a pulse waveform that is maintained only for the discharge time of the capacitor unit. Become.

大きなアーク電流が棒状電極40を流れると、そのアーク電流がアノード電極部31の内部に磁界を形成する。電子はその磁界によるローレンツ力によってアノード電極部31の開口から真空槽2内に放出される。   When a large arc current flows through the rod-shaped electrode 40, the arc current forms a magnetic field inside the anode electrode portion 31. Electrons are emitted into the vacuum chamber 2 from the opening of the anode electrode portion 31 by the Lorentz force by the magnetic field.

蒸着材料部35の側面からアノード電極部31の内壁面に向けて放出された蒸着材料の粒子のうち、電荷質量比(電荷/質量)の大きい微小荷電粒子は、アーク電流が形成する磁界によって飛行方向が曲げられるが、電荷粒子比の小さい巨大荷電粒子や中性粒子はアーク電流により飛行方向が曲げられる率が少なく、アノード電極部31の内壁に付着する。   Among the particles of the vapor deposition material emitted from the side surface of the vapor deposition material portion 35 toward the inner wall surface of the anode electrode portion 31, the minute charged particles having a large charge mass ratio (charge / mass) fly by the magnetic field formed by the arc current. Although the direction is bent, giant charged particles and neutral particles having a small charged particle ratio are less likely to be bent in the flight direction by the arc current, and adhere to the inner wall of the anode electrode portion 31.

電荷質量比の大きな荷電粒子は、電子に引き付けられ、アノード電極部31の開口から原子状イオンやクラスタとなって放出される。その蒸気が基板ホルダ19に保持された基板11に到着すると、基板11表面に薄膜が成長する。このように、基板11には反応性の高い微小荷電粒子のみ達成するので、基板11表面には膜質の良好な薄膜が形成される。   Charged particles having a large charge mass ratio are attracted to electrons and emitted from the opening of the anode electrode portion 31 as atomic ions or clusters. When the vapor reaches the substrate 11 held by the substrate holder 19, a thin film grows on the surface of the substrate 11. As described above, since only the minute charged particles having high reactivity are achieved on the substrate 11, a thin film with good film quality is formed on the surface of the substrate 11.

アーク放電の回数が増える程、薄膜の成長量が大きくなるが、アーク放電が繰り返し行われると蒸着材料部35は昇温して熱膨張又は軟化し、その形状が変形することがある。   As the number of arc discharges increases, the growth amount of the thin film increases. However, when the arc discharge is repeatedly performed, the vapor deposition material portion 35 is heated to thermally expand or soften, and its shape may be deformed.

図2は蒸着材料部35が変形した後の状態を示している。蒸着材料部35が低融点材料(例えば錫、融点231℃)で構成されている場合は特に変形の度合いが大きいが、上述したように、本発明の棒状電極40と蒸着材料部35には雄ねじ41と雌ねじ42がそれぞれ形成されており、互いに強く密着されているため、蒸着材料部35は変形して、キャップ36から離間しても、内周壁面の少なくとも一部が棒状電極40に密着した状態が維持される。即ち、蒸着材料部35が棒状電極40に電気的に接続された状態が維持されるので、アーク放電が停止しない。   FIG. 2 shows a state after the vapor deposition material portion 35 is deformed. When the vapor deposition material part 35 is made of a low melting point material (for example, tin, melting point 231 ° C.), the degree of deformation is particularly large. However, as described above, the rod-shaped electrode 40 and the vapor deposition material part 35 of the present invention are externally threaded. 41 and female screw 42 are formed, and are closely adhered to each other. Therefore, even if the vapor deposition material portion 35 is deformed and separated from the cap 36, at least a part of the inner peripheral wall surface is adhered to the rod-shaped electrode 40. State is maintained. That is, since the state in which the vapor deposition material portion 35 is electrically connected to the rod-shaped electrode 40 is maintained, the arc discharge does not stop.

図3は、蒸着材料部35と棒状電極40の螺合部分の拡大図である。
雄ねじ41と雌ねじ42が螺合することにより、蒸着材料部35は棒状電極40に密着しており、繰り返しアーク放電が誘起され、蒸着材料部35が変形しても、棒状電極40と蒸着材料部35との間は離間せず、蒸着材料部35と棒状電極40の間の電気的接続が維持されるようになっている。
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a threaded portion between the vapor deposition material portion 35 and the rod-shaped electrode 40.
When the male screw 41 and the female screw 42 are screwed together, the vapor deposition material portion 35 is in close contact with the rod-shaped electrode 40, and even if the arc discharge is repeatedly induced and the vapor deposition material portion 35 is deformed, the rod-shaped electrode 40 and the vapor deposition material portion. The electrical connection between the vapor deposition material part 35 and the rod-shaped electrode 40 is maintained without being spaced apart from the electrode 35.

雄ねじ41と雌ねじ42の螺合の程度は深い程電気的接続を維持しやすいが、その螺合の程度が深すぎると少しの変形で交換ができなくなるという不都合が生じ得る。   The deeper the degree of screwing between the male screw 41 and the female screw 42, the easier it is to maintain the electrical connection. However, if the degree of screwing is too deep, there may be a disadvantage that it cannot be replaced with a slight deformation.

図4は雄ねじ41と雌ねじ42が螺合した部分を更に拡大した拡大断面図であり、雄ねじ41と雌ねじ42の螺合深さHを変え、アーク放電を発生できた回数、及び、アーク放電を生じなくなった棒状電極40を取り外せたか否かを調査した。その結果を下記表1に示す。   FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view further enlarging the portion where the male screw 41 and the female screw 42 are screwed together. The screwing depth H of the male screw 41 and the female screw 42 is changed to determine the number of times arc discharge can be generated and the arc discharge. It was investigated whether or not the rod-like electrode 40 that no longer occurred could be removed. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

Figure 0004704267
Figure 0004704267

上記表1は、雄ねじと雌ねじの一方のねじ山が他方のねじ溝に挿入されるときに、雄ねじ側面と雌ねじ側面とが接触する直前の状態を螺合深さH=ゼロとし、接触した部分のねじ山が形成されている円筒C側面に対して垂直な方向の長さである。即ち、螺合したときに互いのねじ山の接触しないねじ山先端部分Aは螺合深さに算入しないものとした。   Table 1 above shows that when one screw thread of the male screw and the female screw is inserted into the other screw groove, the state immediately before the male screw side surface and the female screw side surface are in contact is defined as the screwing depth H = zero. The length in the direction perpendicular to the side surface of the cylinder C on which the thread is formed. That is, the screw thread tip portion A where the screw threads do not contact each other when screwed is not included in the screwing depth.

上記表1から、螺合深さHは、
0.379mm≦H≦0.677mm
の範囲にあると、電気的接続の維持と取り外し性が両立することが分かる。
From Table 1 above, the screwing depth H is
0.379mm ≦ H ≦ 0.677mm
It can be seen that maintaining the electrical connection and detachability are both compatible with each other.

なお、前記棒状電極40は、インバー42、インコネル、ステンレス、タングステン、又はタンタルのいずれかによって構成すると、熱膨張を小さくすることができるので、蒸着材料部35の交換時に、棒状電極40を容易に取り外すことができる。   If the bar electrode 40 is made of any one of Invar 42, Inconel, stainless steel, tungsten, or tantalum, the thermal expansion can be reduced, so that the bar electrode 40 can be easily replaced when the vapor deposition material portion 35 is replaced. Can be removed.

ここで、インバー42とはニッケル鉄合金の一種であって、NiとCoの合計含有量が41重量%以上42重量%以下であり、微量のMn(0.1重量%以上1.25重量%以下)を含み、残りがFeである。   Here, the invar 42 is a kind of nickel iron alloy, and the total content of Ni and Co is 41 wt% or more and 42 wt% or less, and a very small amount of Mn (0.1 wt% or more and 1.25 wt%). And the remainder is Fe.

以上は、棒状電極40の外周面全部に雄ねじ41を形成し、その雄ねじ41を蒸着材料部35と台座33の雌ねじに螺合させる場合について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、雄ねじ41は、棒状電極40の少なくとも蒸着材料部35の雌ねじ42と螺合する部分にだけ設ければよい。   The above describes the case where the male screw 41 is formed on the entire outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped electrode 40 and the male screw 41 is screwed to the female screw of the vapor deposition material portion 35 and the pedestal 33. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the male screw 41 may be provided only at least in a portion where the rod-shaped electrode 40 is screwed with the female screw 42 of the vapor deposition material portion 35.

トリガ電源25やアーク電源27の設定も特に限定されないが、その一例について具体的に説明すると、アーク電源27に接続されるコンデンサユニットは1つの容量が2200μF(耐圧:160V)のコンデンサが4つ並列に接続されている。トリガ電源25はパルストランスからなり、入力200Vのμsのパルス電圧を約17倍に変圧して3.4kV(数μA)出力する。アーク電源27は100V、数Aの容量の直流電源であり、前記8800μFのコンデンサユニットに充電している。充電時間は約1秒必要とするので、このシステムでは8800μFで放電を繰り返す場合の周期は1Hzで行われる。   The settings of the trigger power supply 25 and the arc power supply 27 are not particularly limited, but an example thereof will be specifically described. A capacitor unit connected to the arc power supply 27 has four capacitors each having a capacity of 2200 μF (withstand voltage: 160 V) in parallel. It is connected to the. The trigger power source 25 is composed of a pulse transformer, and transforms a pulse voltage of 200 μs of μs by about 17 times and outputs 3.4 kV (several μA). The arc power supply 27 is a DC power supply having a capacity of 100 V and several A, and charges the 8800 μF capacitor unit. Since charging time is required for about 1 second, in this system, the cycle when discharging is repeated at 8800 μF is performed at 1 Hz.

この条件で、錫からなる蒸着材料部35を用いて蒸着を行ったところ、本発明の蒸着装置1では、5000発以上安定的にアーク放電が継続されることが確認された。   When vapor deposition was performed using the vapor deposition material part 35 made of tin under these conditions, it was confirmed that the arc discharge was stably continued for 5000 or more shots in the vapor deposition apparatus 1 of the present invention.

以上は、蒸着材料部35が蒸着材料で形成された場合について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。図5の符号55は本発明に用いる蒸着材料部の他の例を示しており、この蒸着材料部55は蒸着材料56の他に、蒸着材料56とは異なる材料で構成された装着部材57とを有している。   Although the above has described the case where the vapor deposition material portion 35 is formed of a vapor deposition material, the present invention is not limited to this. Reference numeral 55 in FIG. 5 shows another example of the vapor deposition material portion used in the present invention. The vapor deposition material portion 55 includes, in addition to the vapor deposition material 56, a mounting member 57 made of a material different from the vapor deposition material 56. have.

蒸着材料56はリング状であって、装着部材57は外周が蒸着材料56のリングの内周と略等しい大きさのリング状であり、装着部材57は外周側面が蒸着材料56の内周側面と密着するように、蒸着材料56の内部に配置されている。従って、蒸着材料部55全体の形状もリング状になっている。   The vapor deposition material 56 has a ring shape, and the mounting member 57 has a ring shape whose outer periphery is substantially the same size as the inner periphery of the ring of the vapor deposition material 56. It arrange | positions inside the vapor deposition material 56 so that it may contact | adhere. Therefore, the overall shape of the vapor deposition material portion 55 is also a ring shape.

雌ねじ52は装着部材57の内周側面に形成されている。従って雌ねじ52は蒸着材料部55のリングの内周面に位置し、図3に示した蒸着材料部35と同様に、雌ねじ52によってこの蒸着材料部55も容易に交換される。   The female screw 52 is formed on the inner peripheral side surface of the mounting member 57. Accordingly, the female screw 52 is located on the inner peripheral surface of the ring of the vapor deposition material portion 55, and the vapor deposition material portion 55 is easily exchanged by the female screw 52 in the same manner as the vapor deposition material portion 35 shown in FIG.

装着部材57は導電材料で構成されており、蒸着材料56に密着することで、蒸着材料56と電気的に接続されているから、雌ねじ52を棒状電極40の雄ねじ41と螺合させると、装着部材57を介して蒸着材料56が棒状電極40に電気的に接続される。   The mounting member 57 is made of a conductive material and is in electrical contact with the vapor deposition material 56 by being in close contact with the vapor deposition material 56. Therefore, when the female screw 52 is screwed with the male screw 41 of the rod electrode 40, the mounting member 57 is mounted. The vapor deposition material 56 is electrically connected to the rod-shaped electrode 40 through the member 57.

この蒸着材料部55においても、雌ねじ52と雄ねじ41が螺合することで蒸着材料部55と棒状電極40が互いに強く密着されているため、蒸着材料56が変形しても蒸着材料部55と棒状電極40との電気的接続が維持される。   Also in this vapor deposition material portion 55, since the female screw 52 and the male screw 41 are screwed together, the vapor deposition material portion 55 and the rod-shaped electrode 40 are in close contact with each other. Electrical connection with the electrode 40 is maintained.

装着部材57を熱膨張係数の高い材料、又は融点が700℃以下の低融点材料で構成すれば、蒸着材料56が変形するときに装着部材57も一緒に変形し、装着部材57と蒸着材料56が密着した状態が維持される。   If the mounting member 57 is made of a material having a high thermal expansion coefficient or a low melting point material having a melting point of 700 ° C. or lower, the mounting member 57 is deformed together when the vapor deposition material 56 is deformed. Is maintained in close contact.
