の基板冷却方法に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a thin film forming apparatus, particularly an apparatus for forming a film on a substrate such as sputtering, in which internal stress during film formation causes a rise in temperature of the substrate. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for cooling a substrate in a sputtering apparatus when the substrate is made of a thermoplastic resin such as PC (polycarbonate) or PMMA (gelimethyl methacrylate) and has a low allowable temperature limit (approximately 80° C. or less).

。Conventionally, particularly in sputtering apparatuses for semiconductors, a substrate heating section for increasing the film formation rate and a cooling section after film formation are usually configured on the back side of the substrate (on the opposite side to the sputtering surface). In this case, the purpose of cooling is to quickly lower the temperature of the substrate and its supporting components, which have been heated to several hundred degrees O. In addition, the cooling method involves connecting the part that supports the heater to a water cooling tank or water cooling pipe, and circulating water from the outside.

以下になるように冷却することを目的とする装置を提供
するところにある。However, when forming a film by sputtering on a substrate with a low allowable temperature limit such as a thermoplastic resin substrate, heating as described above cannot be achieved using the conventional technology, and furthermore, the substrate surface on the target side is affected by kinetic energy due to collisions of sputtered atoms and molecules. It has been shown that this causes internal stress, which leads to an increase in temperature. Experiments have shown that temperature increases are caused by target electrode output, gas pressure, and distance between substrates in the same device, but it is possible to lower the output or increase the distance between substrates in order to lower the substrate surface temperature. Leads to membrane speed reduction. Therefore, it is necessary to cool the substrate in order to prevent the temperature from rising while maintaining a certain film formation rate. However, in the conventional cooling method, the thermal conductivity of the substrate is low, and since it is in a vacuum, heat sub-irradiation such as a water cooling tank has little effect. An object of the present invention is to provide a device whose purpose is to cool the substrate to a temperature below its allowable temperature limit.

特徴とする。In the sputtering apparatus of the present invention, Ar gas and other sputter gases necessary for sputtering are cooled by circulating around the outer wall of a liquid nitrogen tank provided in a sputtering chamber, and then flowed onto the back surface of the film-forming substrate during sputtering. It is characterized by preventing a temperature rise caused by film formation on the substrate.

熱温度に達しない様にすることができる。In the sputtering apparatus configured as described above, the sputtering gas is sufficiently cooled while being circulated in contact with the outer wall surface of the liquid nitrogen tank. By flowing this cooled sputtering gas over the entire surface of the substrate from a position as close as possible to the back surface of the substrate, it is possible to cool the substrate and the substrate holder and prevent the temperature rise on the surface from reaching the allowable temperature.
