The PVD technology can apply a nano-meter ionic coating to the samples, thereby increasing the heat and erosion resistance, the surface hardness, and the life expectancy. However, it important in the art to provide equipment that can continuously and homogeneously coat the nano-meter ions onto the sample surface, so as to extend the mechanical properties and the life expectancy of the sample.
  • One conventional sample holder for physical vapor deposition equipment is disclosed in Taiwanese patent publication no. 512181, wherein the sample holder includes a stationary shaft and a plurality of rotation shaft parallel and above to the stationary shaft. A conical affixation base is connected to the above of each rotation shaft. The affixation base provides the sample to be disposed thereon. In addition to rotating about the stationary shaft, each affixation base also spins about itself. The sputtered nano-meter ions can then be coated on the sample surface.
  • However, the conventional sample holder for physical vapor deposition equipment is still problematic in the following aspects. Since the affixation base is vertically rotating, the nano-meter ions are discontinuously coated on the sample. In addition, such physical vapor deposition process is operated under a low vapor temperature, and does not comprise diffusive combination property, thereby rendering inhomogeneous coating thickness and poor combination. Furthermore, for slender or large sized samples, there is shielding effects between the samples. The adhesion of ions is thus inhomogeneous. Moreover, since the nanometer ions are fallen down through a parabolic projectile, the upper portion of the samples will absorb more ions, while the lower portion will absorb only a few ions. The coating thickness of the samples becomes very inhomogeneous. Even further, since the affixation base rotates about the stationary shaft as well as spins about itself, the structure of the sample holder becomes very complicated. One can not effectively lower the production cost of the physical vapor deposition equipment.
  • Accordingly, the inventor of the present invention realized the drawbacks in the conventional art, and developed the present invention that can overcome the drawbacks described above.
  • BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention is to provide a sample holder for physical vapor deposition equipment. Since the stationary shaft and the rotation shaft of the sample holder is unparalleled with each other, and the affixation base can perform inclined rotation, the nano-meter ions can be coated continuously and homogeneously onto the sample surface. Therefore, the surface hardness, the erosion resistance and the life expectancy of the sample is enhanced.
  • In order to achieve the above and other objectives, the sample holder for physical vapor deposition equipment, which is disposed in a vacuum chamber for holding samples, includes a transmission mechanism and a fastening mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes a stationary shaft and a transmission element connected to the stationary shaft. The fastening mechanism includes a rotation shaft unparalleled with the stationary shaft of the transmission mechanism, a support arm for securely holding the rotation shaft, and a rotational disk assembly that drives the rotation shaft and the support arm to rotate about the transmission mechanism. Two ends of the rotation shaft are connected to a rotation element and an affixation base, wherein the rotation element rotates in response to the transmission element, thereby rendering the affixation base to perform inclined rotation.
