- This invention relates to vacuum apparatus and has particular, although not exclusive, reference to such apparatus for vacuum deposition by sputtering and evaporation techniques.
- Sputtering is a process carried out in a vacuum environment in which a target is bombarded with energetic ions or atoms so that it is eroded, the eroded target material being deposited on a suitable substrate.

D. mnnguvq INVENTOR) ATTORNEY IN OR RELATING TO VACUUM APPARATUS 1 This invention relates to vacuum apparatus and has particular, although not exclusive, reference to such apparatus for vacuum deposition by sputtering and evaporation techniques.
Sputtering is a process carried out in a vacuum environment in which a target is bombarded with energetic ions or atoms so that it is eroded, the eroded target material being deposited on a suitable substrate. A common technique for generating energetic ions is to create a plasma and to accelerate ions to the target by providing it with a suitable potential bias with respect to the plasma. Three particular forms of the technique are as follows: 7
a. The plasma can be generated in an anomalous glow discharge with the target as a cathode, the ions from the positive column being accelerated across the cathode dark space towards the cathode. One version of this technique is AC sputtering where each electrode of a number of electrodes becomes a cathode for a period of time in an AC cycle.
b. The plasma can be generated by using a thermionic cathode and an anode supplied with a suitable voltage to generate a glow discharge. The target is biased negatively with respect to the plasma by applying a suitable DC voltage to the target if it is of metal, or by applying a suitable RF voltage to a metal electrode system behind the target if it is of dielectric material. A metal target may be placed over the dielectric for metallic sputtering.
c. The plasma can be generated by a suitable RF electric field in which case the target bias is usually achieved as in (b). The RF voltage used to bias the target can also be used to generate the plasma.
All of these techniques utilizing a glow discharge or RF plasma require a vacuum environment in the range 1 torr to 104 torr, the pressure depending on the technique used. The gas to be ionized is chosen to suit the process being carried out.
In all these methods the pressure at which sputtering takes place is commonly achieved by baffling the pump and by bleeding in a suitable gas. An equilibrium pressure has therefore to be reached by the successive adjustment of pumping speed and gas influx. However, the pressure creates unsuitable conditions for the simultaneous deposition by evaporation of high-purity films.
According to the present invention vacuum apparatus includes a continuously evacuable chamber, gas introduction means selectively to determine the gas pressure in a predetermined region of the chamber, and a pumping outlet arrangement disposed adjacent the said region so that, in use of the apparatus, the gas may be continuously removed from the said region before its presence substantially affects the pressure in the remaining part of the chamber.
According to a further aspect of the invention vacuum deposition apparatus includes a continuously evacuable chamber housing a sputtering unit for sputtering material from one or more target electrodes onto a workpiece and gas introduction means selectively to determine the gas pressure in the region of the sputtering unit, the apparatus being further provided with a pumping outlet arrangement disposed adjacent the said region so that, in use of the apparatus, the gas may be continuously removed from the said region before its presence substantially affects the pressure in the remaining part of the chamber.
The pumping outlet arrangement may comprise a main pumping outlet from the chamber and a duct directing the gas from the said region to the said outlet. Alternatively, it may comprise a subsidiary pumping outlet situated closely adjacent said region. In either case the gas may be further confined to the said region by a baffle or baffles.
The gas introduction means may most suitably comprise a gas jet or jets. 1
The invention will now be described in greater detail, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: 7
FIG. I is a diagrammatic sectional elevation of one form of apparatus embodying the invention;
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic plan view of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1;
FIGS. 3 and 4 corresponding to FIGS. I and 2 for a modified form of the apparatus;
FIG. 5 diagrammatically represents the use of triode sputtering in the apparatus illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2;
FIGS. 6 and 7 diagrammatically represent the use of twin electrode RF sputtering in the apparatus illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2; and
FIG. 8 diagrammatically represents the use of an AC sputtering technique in the apparatus illustrated in FIGS. I and 2.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings, a vacuum chamber 1 is provided with a pumping outlet 2. Gas jets 3 passing through the sidewall of the chamber can introduce gas to the region 4 in which is situated a sputtering arrangement (not shown). The gas is further confined to this region by baffles represented by lines 5 although these are not essential unless a large pressure difference is required. A duct 6 leading to the outlet 2 is provided for continuous removal of the gas. Substrates are shown at 7 and 8, interchange of position being obtained if required by means of a rotary workholder, and it will be seen that substrate 8 is outside the relatively high-pres sure region 4 and may be retained at a pressure suitable for further deposition techniques (i.e., evaporation from one or more sources, not shown) which may take place at the same time as deposition by sputtering occurs on substrate 7.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show a modified fonn of the apparatus described above and it will be seen that the jets 3 are brought into the center of chamber 1 and that a subsidiary pumping outlet 9 is provided for removal of the gas. Lines 5 again represent the use of baffles if a large pressure difference is required.
FIG. 5 shows a triode arrangement employed in the apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. A cathode filament 10 is placed in front of the gas jets 3 and a perforated or ring type anode I2 is placed at the mouth of duct 6. By applying a DC potential between the anode and the cathode a glow discharge can be obtained in the relatively high-pressure region 4. A target 11 having a negative bias is supported opposite the substrate 7 and sputtering will occur. The gas pumped along duct 6 is prevented from reaching the vacuum pump in an ionized state by means of an earthed or negatively biased grid shield 13. The sputtering rate can be enhanced by providing a magnetic field normal to the plane of the anode 12.
A twin electrode RF sputtering arrangement is illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, the second electrode being shown only on FIG. 7. In this case a plasma in region 4 is generated due to the RF voltage applied between the target electrodes 14 and 15, material being sputtered off each of these electrodes onto substrate 7. Again it will be seen that an earthed or suitably biased shield 13 is provided in duct 6. Sputtering of dielectrics can be obtained if the faces of the electrodes 14 and 15 are covered by a dielectric target.
FIG. 8 shows the apparatus employed with an AC sputtering arrangement. An AC supply I6 is connected to the two target electrodes 17 and 18 between which is generated an abnormal glow discharge. The targets will be sputtered alternately and may consist of two different metals in accordance with the coating required on substrate 7.
It will be appreciated that the various sputtering arrangements illustrated in FIGS. 5-8 are by way of illustration only and that any suitable sputtering technique may be employed. The essential feature for operation of apparatus constructed in accordance with the invention is that a region constituted by the major part of the vacuum chamber may be maintained at a lower pressure, say 10 6 torr, suitable for many other deposition techniques, while the sputtering region constituted by a minor part of the evacuated chamber may be retained at a low pressure of, say, l0'3 torr.
