Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform stable sputtering at a high speed by controlling target voltage to voltage lower than arc-extinguishing voltage by a detected target current signal and recovering the voltage to the target voltage in a sputtering state after the arc extinguishment. CONSTITUTION:The inside of a vacuum chamber 3 is evacuated to a required degree of vacuum by an evacuation system. A magnetic field is formed in parallel with the bar-like shaft of a target 1 by a coil power source 12, and an electric field intersecting orthogonally with the magnetic field is formed by a sputtering power source 10. Magnetron discharge is induced in such a way and plasma is generated by said discharge, by which plasma the target 1 is sputtered and a film is formed on a substrate 2. In case an electric arc is generated near the surface of the target 1, the arc is extinguished by a control circuit 20 which detects the arc from the increase in the output current of the power source 10, drops the voltage of the power source 10 to the voltage lower than the arc- extinguishing voltage automatically and restores the voltage in a sputtering state again after the arc extinguishment.

Sputtering equipment is desired to have higher speed and lower temperature, and sputtering technology is progressing in this direction. To increase speed, a high negative voltage is applied to the sputtering equipment target, but if continuous operation is performed for a long time with this high voltage applied, an arc will be generated near the target provided in the vacuum base circle. You may not be able to drive normally. The occurrence of one arc depends on the material of the target. For example, if the target is copper, one arc will hardly occur, but if the target is aluminum, one arc will frequently occur. This one-arc phenomenon is thought to be caused by the action of a sharp protrusion generated on the target and high-density plasma.

In addition, as a countermeasure in the event that one arc occurs, we have attempted to use a relay or the like to cut off the electrical source at a specific time, but this method not only substantially reduces the sputtering speed but also damages the film. This has the drawback of deteriorating properties and, in some cases, damaging semiconductor elements used in the substrate.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a sputtering apparatus. This sputtering apparatus consists of a rod-shaped target 1 having a protrusion at its end, an exhaust system (not shown) disposed coaxially with respect to the target 1 and evacuating the coating in the direction of a forming mark 4, and a vacuum It consists of a gas introduction system 5 for adjusting the pressure of the chamber 3, a sputtering power supply 10 for supplying negative voltage and power to the target 1, a coil 11 for creating a magnetic field parallel to the cylinder axis, and an excitation power supply 12 for the coil 11. Ru. In this case, the occurrence of one arc is detected by an increase in the output current of the sputtering power source IO, and the sputtering power source voltage is automatically lowered below the arc extinguishing voltage at which one arc is extinguished, and then returned to the sputtering state voltage again. One arc is excluded by the control circuit 20.

FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram showing details of this control circuit 20. The output voltage of the sputter power supply 10 is supplied to the cathode of the triode 21, and is supplied to the target array 1 via the current detection means 24, which is composed of a resistor or the like, on the plate of the triode 21. Since one arc is determined by a rapid increase in the current flowing through the sputtering power supply, the current detection means 24 can easily detect an increase in target current due to the occurrence of an electric arc. The signal detected by this current detection means 24 is transmitted to the signal converter 2
5, the grid of the triode 21 is controlled by a drive section 26.

The vacuum chamber 3 is 1Xl0 ~ 3X10' depending on the exhaust system.
The coil power source 12 forms a magnetic field parallel to the rod-shaped axis of the target, and the sputter power source 10 forms an electric field perpendicular to this magnetic field, thereby causing a so-called magnetron discharge. Plasma is created, and this plasma sputters the target ray (1) to form a film on the curtain plate 2. When 1 arc is generated near the surface of the target, it is extinguished by the control circuit 20.

An example is shown. The configuration of this embodiment is as explained in FIGS. 1 and 2, but the connection indicated by the dotted line 30 in FIG. 1 is not made.

When an increase in current is detected at , the signal amplified by the signal converter 25 and driver 26 continuously controls the grid of the triode 21 to lower the plate voltage, resulting in a target voltage (VT) of 4! S is lowered below the arc-extinguishing voltage (Va). When one arc disappears, the target current (
IT) is detected and the signal from the drive unit 26 is sent to the triode 2.
