Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a backing plate, for sputtering target, having thermal conductivity close to that of copper and mechanical strength close to that of stainless steel by specifying a composition consisting of Cr and Cu. CONSTITUTION:This backing plate for sputtering target is produced by using a Cu-Cr alloy having a composition consisting of 0.2-1.5% Cr and the balance Cu with inevitable impurities, and this alloy is used in the age-hardened state after solution treatment. By using the above Cu-Cr alloy, the backing plate combining high strength with high thermal conductivity can be produced. Since the backing plate having high strength and reduced in warpage can be formed at the same thickness and the thickness of the backing plate can be reduced at the same strength and, as a result, the distance between a magnet and the target can be shortened, leakage magnetic flux density can be improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a backing plate for a sputtering target using a Cr--Cu alloy having both high strength and high thermal conductivity.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

Generally, in a planar magnetron sputtering apparatus, a backing plate bonded to the back surface of the target is usually used for the purpose of holding and cooling the target. Currently, backing plates are mainly made of copper, phosphor bronze, and stainless steel.

一般に、バッキングプレートの具備すべき条件として次
の3点が特に重要である。すなわち、(1)高強度・・

Generally, the following three points are particularly important as conditions that a backing plate must meet. In other words, (1) high strength...
- The target surface of the backing plate is inside the chamber and is evacuated, and the back surface is under pressure from the refrigerant, so a differential pressure of about 3 to 5 kgf/cd is applied to the backing plate. If the warping of the banking plate due to this differential pressure becomes large, it will cause cracks in the ceramic target. Therefore, the backing plate is required to have sufficient strength to minimize warping.

(2)高熱伝導性・・・スパッタ時、ターゲット表面は

(2) High thermal conductivity: During sputtering, the target surface is hit with high-temperature plasma, so the temperature of the target increases. At this time, if the backing plate has low thermal conductivity and cooling is insufficient, a thermal gradient between the target surface and the backing plate will increase, causing peeling at the bonding surface and cracking of the target. Therefore, the backing plate is required to have high thermal conductivity.

(3)強磁性でないこと・・・プレーナーマグネトロン

とが必要である。
(3) Not ferromagnetic: Planar magnetron sputtering equipment is characterized by increasing the sputtering rate by constraining plasma to the target surface using magnetic lines of force generated by a magnet placed behind the backing plate. Therefore, the material of the backing plate must not be ferromagnetic so that the lines of magnetic force generated by the magnet can sufficiently leak to the target surface.

〔発明が解決しようとする課題〕[Problem to be solved by the invention]

しかしながら、従来のバッキングプレー1−の材質は上

However, the material of the conventional backing play 1- does not completely satisfy the conditions (1) to (3) above. That is, although copper has good thermal conductivity, it has low mechanical strength, and annealing occurs at about 200° C., resulting in an extremely low mechanical strength, making it unsuitable for recycling. Stainless steel has high mechanical strength but poor thermal conductivity. Although phosphor bronze has mechanical strength and thermal conductivity that are between those of copper and stainless steel, these values are not sufficient.
