Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for storing a target comprising a rare earth metal or oxide thereof that is easily pulverized due to oxidation or hydroxylation.
- Rare earth metals are contained in the earth's crust as a mixed composite oxide. Rare-earth elements are so called because they are separated from relatively rare minerals, but they are not that rare in light of the overall earth's crust. In recent years, rare earth metals are attracting attention as an electronic material, and research and development for using rare earth metals are being promoted.
- lanthanum is a white metal having an atomic number of 57 and an atomic weight of 138.9, and comprises a double hexagonal close-packed structure at normal temperature.
- Lanthanum has a melting point of 921° C., boiling point of 3500° C., and density of 6.15 g/cm 3 , its surface is oxidized in the atmosphere, and it gradually melts in water.
- Lanthanum is a metal that is attracting attention as an electronic material such as a metal gate material or a high-dielectric constant (High-k) material. Rare earth elements other than lanthanum also have attributes similar to lanthanum.
- a rare earth metal such as lanthanum is a material in which high purification is difficult to achieve since it is easily oxidized during the refining process.
- a rare earth metal such as lanthanum is left in the atmosphere, there is a problem in that the handling thereof is difficult since it will become oxidized and tarnished in a short time.
- rare earth metals such as lanthanum and their oxides are still in the research phase.
- a rare earth metal or oxide thereof itself exists as a sputtering target material, it is possible to form a thin film of such rare earth metal or oxide thereof on a substrate. It will be easy to study the behavior at the interface with the silicon substrate, and the properties of a high-dielectric gate insulator film or the like after forming a rare earth metal compound. There is also a significant advantage in that the freedom of the target as a product will increase.
- a lanthanum sputtering target is prepared, as described above, it becomes oxidized in a short time in the atmosphere.
- a stable oxide layer is formed on a metal target surface, but since it is extremely thin, it peels off during the initial stage of sputtering and does not affect the sputtering characteristics significantly.
- the oxide layer becomes thick, and deterioration of the electrical conductivity will occur and thereby cause defective sputtering.
- the lanthanum sputtering target is left in the atmosphere for a long time, it reacts with the moisture in the air to become covered with white hydroxide powder and ultimately become pulverized, and it may even cause a problem of not allowing normal sputtering to be performed.
- the target is prepared, it is necessary to take measures for preventing oxidation and hydroxylation such as by immediately vacuum-packing or coating the target with fats and oils.
- the standard method is to store the rare earth metals in mineral oil in order to prevent such rare earth metals from being exposed to the air.
- it is necessary to clean the target before its use in order to remove the mineral oil.
- the cleaning of the target itself is difficult due to its reactivity with oxygen, moisture and carbon dioxide.

- An object of this invention is to provide technology for allowing the long-term storage of a sputtering target in enabled condition by devising the method for storing a target comprising a rare earth metal or oxide thereof, and thereby inhibiting the pulverization of the target caused by the oxidation and hydroxylation of such target due to residual air or ingress of air.

- the present invention additionally provides:
- the present invention further provides:
- FIG. 1 A diagram showing an example where the surface and side face of the La target are thinly coated with La oxide powder and vacuum packing is performed thereto.
- FIG. 2 A diagram showing an example where La oxide powder is placed in a space due to the unevenness (difference in level) between the La target and BP (backing plate) and vacuum packing is performed thereto.
- FIG. 3 A diagram showing an example where a La target is placed in a metallic container, La oxide powder is filled around the periphery of the La target, ambient air is once replaced with argon having a dew point of ⁇ 80° C. or less, and vacuum sealing is subsequently performed thereto.
- FIG. 4 A diagram showing an example where a metal alloy target comprising La and Er is placed in a metallic container, a sintered La oxide block is placed at the uneven part between the target and BP, air in the container is replaced with argon gas, and vacuuming is subsequently performed thereto.
- FIG. 5 A diagram showing an example where the La target is subject to vacuum sealing with a film.
- FIG. 6 A diagram showing an example where the La target is subject to vacuum sealing with a film, and silica gel is placed as a desiccant.
- FIG. 7 A diagram showing an example where the La 2 O 3 target is subject to vacuum sealing with a film.
- Rare earths in particular lanthanum and lanthanum oxide, are known to have extremely strong hygroscopic properties (reactivity with moisture).
- the challenge to date was how to prevent lanthanum and lanthanum oxide from absorbing moisture as much as possible, and how to store lanthanum and lanthanum oxide in an environment with minimal moisture.
- the oxidation or hydroxylation of the lanthanum target body can be prevented by coating, mounting or placing lanthanum oxide (powder or sintered compact of a plate or block) on the target surface upon storing the lanthanum target.
- moisture when storing a lanthanum oxide target, moisture can be absorbed and eliminated more effectively by enclosing the powdered or granular lanthanum oxide of larger surface area and, therefore, degradation of the target caused by hydroxylation can be prevented.
- the method for storing a target comprising a rare earth metal or oxide thereof according to the present invention is to introduce, as a desiccant, oxide of the same rare earth metal as the material of the rare earth metal or its oxide target to be stored into a storage container or a film-type seal.
- an oxide of the rare earth metal with the greatest hygroscopic property can be used as a desiccant.
- encapsulating and storing method for target it is preferable to prevent the ingress of outside air as much as possible. Vacuum sealing can be performed as one such method. Moreover, when vacuum sealing and storing the target, it is preferable to once replace the inside of the container or the film-type seal with inert gas having a dew point of ⁇ 80° C. or less and thereafter perform vacuum sealing.
- flexible film may be used in the form of a hermetic bag and subject to vacuum sealing.
- inert gas having a dew point of ⁇ 80° C. or less may be filled and sealed as the method for storing a target. All of the foregoing methods prevent the ingress of outside air.
- a target is generally bonded to a backing plate.
- a flexible film in the form of a hermetic bag and performing vacuum sealing thereto, unevenness will inevitably arise between the target and the backing plate, and a space is likely to be formed. Outside air is easily accumulated in such space. Pulverization of the target tends to advance from such space.
- the rare earth oxide to be used as the desiccant is preferably in the form of powder or granule of large surface area. Nevertheless, it is effective to simply place a small piece of rare earth oxide at a location where outside air is easily accumulated.
- the method for storing a target according to the present invention is particularly effective for a lanthanum target or a target containing lanthanum as the rare earth metal configuring the target.
- the foregoing rare earth oxide to be used as the desiccant is lanthanum oxide. This is ironic, but lanthanum oxide that is most easily hydroxylated has the greatest inhibitory effect on hydroxylation of a target comprising a rare earth metal or oxide thereof in the method for storing a target comprising a rare earth metal or oxide thereof.
- Table 1 shows the favorable examples of the flexible film to be used in encapsulating and storing the target, as well as the non-favorable examples.
- Table 1 the examples having properties of GX Barrier (product name) or higher are effective. As shown in Table 1, GX Barrier (product name) and a bag containing Al foil are favorable. Table 1 shows representative examples, and it goes without saying that other flexible films may be used so as long as they satisfy the foregoing conditions.
- the lanthanum oxide powder absorbs the moisture remaining inside the vacuum package and the moisture that penetrates the film and is fixed as lanthanum hydroxide.
- this is effective in preventing the phenomenon where the La target surface reacts with moisture to become hydroxide and be pulverized.
- lanthanum oxide absorbs the moisture remaining after the vacuuming and is fixed as lanthanum hydroxide.
- this is effective in preventing the phenomenon where La reacts with moisture to become hydroxide and be pulverized.
- lanthanum oxide absorbs the moisture remaining after the vacuuming and is fixed as lanthanum hydroxide.
- this is effective in preventing the phenomenon where La reacts with moisture to become hydroxide and be pulverized.
- FIG. 5 This is an example where the La target was subject to vacuum sealing with a film.
- FIG. 5 A specific example is shown in FIG. 5 .
- the small amount of moisture remaining in the space created between the vacuum-packing film and the target reacted with the La target, and La became lanthanum hydroxide. It resulted in pulverization.
- silica gel When silica gel is placed as shown in FIG. 6 , pulverization progressed faster than the case of not placing silica gel. The reason for this is considered to be that the moisture adsorbed by the silica gel became desorbed and discharged inside the vacuum-packing film, and the reaction of moisture and La was promoted and resulted in lanthanum hydroxide. In light of the above, it is evident that silica gel that is used as a general desiccant is useless, or even undesirable, in preventing the pulverization phenomenon of the rare earth metal or rare earth metal oxide.
- the method for storing a target comprising a rare earth metal or oxide thereof according to the present invention is to introduce, as a desiccant, oxide of the same rare earth metal as the material of the target comprising the rare earth metal or oxide thereof to be stored into a storage container or a film-type seal. It is thereby possible to effectively inhibit the condition where the target reacts with the moisture in the atmosphere and becomes covered with white hydroxide powder.
- targets can be stably supplied as an electronic material such as a metal gate material or a high-dielectric constant (High-k) material, and the present invention is extremely useful industrially.
- an electronic material such as a metal gate material or a high-dielectric constant (High-k) material
