Definitions
- the present invention relates to a manufacturing method for a composite material comprising two or more metals or nonmetals and compounds thereof and, more particularly, to a manufacturing method in which a dispersion material can be dispersed very homogeneously into a base material of the composite material independently of the composition of the composite material.
- composite materials comprising metals or nonmetals or compounds thereof have been used in a wide variety of applications as structural materials for automobile parts, aircraft parts, etc., electrode materials, target materials for film formation, and the like.
- the composite material is manufactured by dispersing metals or nonmetals or compounds thereof different from a base material into the base material to control material properties so that material properties suitable for each application can be realized.
- nonmetal used in this specification includes hydrogen, boron, carbon, silicon, nitrogen, phosphorous, and the like, and is used as a wide concept including antimony, bismuth, etc. which are what we call a semimetal.
- the compo-casting process and the powder metallurgy process are known.
- a metal which is used as a base material
- nonmetal particles which are used as a dispersion material
- This process is effective in the case where the composite material is manufactured by using nonmetal particles having poor wettability with respect to the melted metal of base material.
- the composite material is manufactured in a semi-melting state so as to prevent separation of nonmetal particles from base metal.
- the fusion-casting process is generally used.
- both of a base material and a dispersion material are metals, and they have properties of a low melting point metal and a high melting point metal, respectively, it is very difficult to manufacture such a metal-metal composite material by, for example, the vacuum fusion process.
- a composite material obtained by the conventional manufacturing method is described in more detail by taking a sputtering target material as an example.
- a sputtering target material As an example, when the wiring for a liquid crystal display or a semiconductor integrated circuit is formed, the wiring technology using a sputtering method using a target material of composite material has been employed.
- an aluminum film which has high heat resistance and low electrical resistance, is typically used, and a target material of composite material using aluminum as a base material is used to form the aluminum film.
- the aluminum film used as the wiring for a liquid crystal display or a semiconductor integrated circuit for example, a target material of composite material in which aluminum is used as a base material and carbon and a group IVa metal such as titanium are dispersed is used.
- a target material of composite material made of aluminum is used, the wiring having high heat resistance and low electrical resistance can be formed, so that breakage of wiring caused by stress can be prevented.
- the target material of composite material made of aluminum is naturally required to have a composition capable of forming a film meeting the requirements for the wiring characteristics.
- the target material is required to have less defects such as a cavity and a void, to have a high density, and to entrain less gas that forms impurities.
- a dispersion material can be dispersed into a base material in the conventional manufacturing method for a composite material, however the dispersibility is insufficient, and an internal defect and entrance of impurities occur in the bulk body.
- the conventional composite material has many drawbacks to be improved.
- the target material considering the case where a composite material used for other applications as a structural material for an automobile part, aircraft part, etc. or an electrode material is manufactured, in the conventional manufacturing method, it is very difficult to manufacture a composite material having various compositions generally by one manufacturing method.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and accordingly an object thereof is to provide a manufacturing method for a composite material comprising two or more metals or nonmetals and compounds thereof, in which a dispersion material can be dispersed very homogeneously into a base material of the composite material, and which method can be used generally independently of the composition of the composite material as compared with the conventional manufacturing method.
- the present invention provides, as a first invention, a manufacturing method for a composite material in which a metal or a nonmetal or a compound thereof is used as abase material, and at least one kind of metals or nonmetals or compounds thereof different from the base material is dispersed as a dispersion material, wherein a raw material for base material comprising a metal or a nonmetal or a compound thereof for forming the base material and at least one of raw materials for dispersion material comprising metals or nonmetals or compounds thereof for forming the dispersion material are evaporated simultaneously or alternately, and the evaporated particles are deposited on a substrate to form a bulk body.
- the raw material for base material for forming the base material and the raw material for dispersion material for forming the dispersion material are made evaporated particles by what we call the physical vapor deposition process (PVD process), and the evaporated particles are deposited on the substrate to form the bulk body.
- PVD process physical vapor deposition process
- the dispersion material is dispersed very homogeneously into the base material, so that various composite materials can be manufactured easily independently of the properties of each raw material. That is to say, even a composite material of a combination of a high melting point metal and a low melting point metal can also be manufactured easily.
- the sputtering method or the vacuum deposition method in the physical vapor deposition process is preferably used.
- the reason for this is that in these methods, evaporated particles are produced from each raw material at relatively high rate, so that a bulk body having a predetermined volume can be formed easily.
- the sputtering method or the vacuum deposition method is applied in the first invention, since the raw material is evaporated in an atmosphere of inert gas such as argon or in a vacuum atmosphere, even an easily oxidizable raw material can be used. Therefore, the quantity of oxygen entering into the manufactured bulk body can be controlled, and the entrance of gas and other impurities can be avoided to the utmost. Further, a bulk body of composite material having far less internal defects can be manufactured.
- the raw material for base material and the raw material for dispersion material can be evaporated simultaneously or alternately.
- the evaporated particles of the raw material for base material and the raw material for dispersion material are deposited at random.
- a composite material in which the dispersion material is dispersed homogeneously into the base material is manufactured by controlling the deposit layer of the base material and the dispersion material on the order of angstrom.
- the sputtering method is preferably used for the evaporation of raw materials
- the inventors invented a manufacturing method for a composite material in which a metal or a nonmetal or a compound thereof is used as a base material, and at least one kind of metals or nonmetals or compounds thereof different from the base material is dispersed as a dispersion material, wherein a raw material for evaporation comprising a metal or a nonmetal or a compound thereof for forming the base material or a metal or a nonmetal or a compound thereof for forming the dispersion material is evaporated in an atmosphere of any one of a hydrocarbon gas, oxygen gas, and nitrogen gas, and the evaporated particles are deposited on a substrate to form a bulk body.
- This second invention is based on the physical vapor deposition process (PVD process) or the chemical vapor deposition process (CVD process).
- PVD process physical vapor deposition process
- CVD process chemical vapor deposition process
- any one of a hydrocarbon gas, oxygen gas, and nitrogen gas is selected, so that a composite material in which carbides, nitrides, or oxides are dispersed as a dispersion material very homogeneously into the base material can be manufactured.
- the sputtering method and the vacuum deposition method in the physical vapor deposition process or an activated deposition method in the chemical vapor deposition process is preferably used.
- the hydrocarbon gas used in the second invention is not subject to any special restriction as to the composition thereof if it can be decomposed into carbon and hydrogen at the time of sputtering or deposition.
- methane, ethane, and acetylene gas can be cited.
- an inert gas such as argon, the evaporation efficiency of raw material can be controlled.
- a raw material for evaporation comprising a metal or a nonmetal or a compound thereof for forming the base material
- a raw material for evaporation containing a metal or a nonmetal or a compound thereof for forming the dispersion material in addition to the base material may be used.
- a raw material for evaporation comprising copper for forming the base material and silicon for forming the dispersion material is used to produce evaporated particles in nitrogen gas by using the sputtering method, and the particles are deposited on the substrate, so that silicon and nitrogen react with each other to yield stable silicon nitride.
- a composite material in which silicon nitride, which is a dispersion material, is dispersed very homogeneously into copper, which is a base material can be manufactured.
- a raw material for evaporation comprising copper as the base material and aluminum as the dispersion material are used to produce evaporated particles in oxygen gas by using the sputtering method, and the particles are deposited on the substrate, so that aluminum and oxygen react with each other to yield stable aluminum oxide. Therefore, a composite material in which aluminum oxide, which is a dispersion material, is dispersed very homogeneously into copper, which is a base material, can be manufactured.
- a composite material that has not been realized by the conventional manufacturing method that is, a composite material in which even a dispersion material having poor wettability with respect to the base material is dispersed very homogeneously into the base material can be manufactured.
- the atmosphere in which the raw material is evaporated By controlling the atmosphere in which the raw material is evaporated, the entrance of impurities can be restrained to the utmost, and a bulk body having far less internal defects can be manufactured.
- the sputtering method is preferably used for the evaporation of raw material.
- the composite material obtained by the manufacturing methods of the first and second inventions of the present invention described above is a bulk body deposited and formed on the substrate. It is not difficult for this bulk body to be handled as a simple body, unlike what we call a film. By separating the bulk body from the substrate, the bulk body has a volume of a degree such that the bulk body itself can be handled as it is.
- the bulk body separated from the substrate by the manufacturing methods of the first and second inventions can be used as it is for each application, for example, as a target material.
- the bulk body obtained by the manufacturing methods of the first and second inventions is melted, mixed, and formed by casting together with the raw material for base material comprising a metal or a nonmetal or a compound thereof for forming the base material, by which the concentration of dispersion material can be controlled.
- the obtained composite material of bulk body is structurally ideal in that the dispersion material is dispersed very homogeneously into the base material.
- these two manufacturing methods are based on the vapor phase epitaxy method, so that in the case of the bulk body having a larger volume, manufacturing must be performed for a long period of time, and also it is difficult to obtain a complicated bulk body.
- the bulk body obtained by these two methods is melted, mixed, and formed by casting together with the raw material for base material to control the concentration of dispersion material, by which a composite material of a larger bulk body is manufactured. If a mold of a predetermined shape is used at the time of casting, a composite material of a complex shape can be obtained easily.
- the bulk body obtained by the first and second inventions and the raw material for base material are melted, mixed, and formed by casting, a phenomenon that the dispersion material is separated from the base material may possibly be caused as in the conventional manufacturing method.
- the bulk body is formed in a state in which the base material and the dispersion material are dispersed into each other very finely, that is, the bulk body is formed in a state in which the dispersion material has high wettability with respect to the base material. Therefore, even if the bulk body is melted together with the raw material for base material, the dispersion material is not separated from the base material.
- the composite material obtained by melting, mixing, and casting the bulk body and the raw material for base material is in a state in which the dispersion material is dispersed very homogeneously into the base material.
- a composite material is manufactured by melting the bulk body and the raw material for base material in this way, when the bulk body is formed, the quantity of dispersion material or the quantity of raw material for base material to be added is controlled in advance, by which the composition of the finally obtained composite material can be controlled easily.
- the temperature for melting the bulk body and the raw material for base material may be determined appropriately according to the composition of composite material. Basically, the melting may be performed at a temperature in the range from the melting point to the evaporating temperature of the bulk body. In effect, the temperature may be controlled so that the bulk body becomes in a fully flowing state and the raw material for base material and the bulk body can be mixed homogeneously with each other.
- the atmosphere when the melting is performed is not subject to any special restriction.
- the melting is performed preferably in a vacuum atmosphere or in an atmosphere of inert gas such as argon gas.
- the casting is preferably performed under a rapid solidification condition. This is because if the casting is performed under a rapid solidification condition, the crystal structure of composite material is made fine, and the dispersion material is dispersed into the base material homogeneously and finely.
- the crystal structure thereof can be controlled by rolling or heat treatment.
- the finally manufactured composite material must have properties suitable for each application.
- a composite material having properties suitable for each application, for example, high strength properties can be realized by controlling the crystal structure thereof by means of rolling or heat treatment. In this case, both of rolling and heat treatment may be applied, or only either of them may be applied.
- the evaporated particles be deposited while the substrate is rotated.
- the deposition of evaporated particles proceeds homogeneously at all locations on the surface of the rotating substrate, so that as compared with the case where the evaporated particles are deposited on the stationary substrate, a bulk body with a more uniform composition and a uniform thickness can be formed.
- the substrate on which the evaporated particles are deposited is preferably made of the same material as the base material.
- deposited particles deposit in conformity with the substrate, so that a homogeneous crystal structure can be obtained easily.
- the material of the substrate is the same as the base material, the formed bulk body can be melted without being peeled off from the substrate, so that the manufacturing process can be simplified.
- a composite material suitable for each application can be manufactured generally independently of the composition thereof, the dispersion material is dispersed very homogeneously into the base material, the entrance of impurities is restrained, and a composite material of bulk body having no internal defect such as a cavity can be obtained. Therefore, the composite material obtained by the manufacturing method in accordance with the present invention can be practically used appropriately for each application, and can be used very suitably as a structural material for an automobile part, aircraft part, etc., an electrode material, or a target material for film formation.
- the composite material obtained by the manufacturing method in accordance with the present invention in which aluminum is used as the base material and carbon is used as the dispersion material, is very suitable as a target material.
- an aluminum film is effectively used for the wiring for a liquid crystal display or a semiconductor integrated circuit.
- a so-called mosaic-like target material in which when an aluminum film containing carbon is formed by the sputtering method, a chip etc. comprising carbon or silicon is embedded directly in an aluminum metal material has been known (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-292821).
