Definitions
- METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DEPOSITING THIN FILMS This i nventi on relates to methods and apparatus for depositing thin films. It has application inter al ia in the deposition of thin films of superconducting oxides, especially quaternary compounds of the elements yttrium, barium, copper and oxygen. It also has application in the deposition of thin films of metal-chalcogenide compounds.
- a method of depositing thin films comprises the steps of generating a fine mist of a solution of a mixture of substances which contain component chemical elements which are required in a resulting thin film, transporting the mist to a reaction zone, decomposing the mist in the reaction zone into its components and depositing the components as a thin film on a substrate.
- Decomposition of the mist may be achieved by heating, or by a combination of heating and photon or plasma enhanced decomposition.
- the mist is subjected to a pre-heating step prior to entry into the reaction zone. This avoids the so-called 'spotting' problem associated with the deposition of airborne droplets of varying size.
- the fine mist may be generated by atomising the solution in a spray head by means of a carrier gas.
- the carrier gas may be an inert gas or may react with the products of decomposition.
- the substances in the solution from which the fine mist is generated may be soluble compounds of the class of elements comprising yttrium, scandium and the rare earths, Group IIA elements and Group IB elements, for example soluble compounds of yttrium, barium and copper.
- the carrier gas may be air or oxygen to enable the component elements to be oxidised when they are deposited.
- a method of depositing a metal-chalcogenide thin film on a substrate comprises the steps of generating a fine mist of a solution in which an organo-metallie compound including the desired metal and the desired chalcogen is dissolved, transporting the mist to a reaction zone, heating the mist in the reaction zone to crack the compound and release the metal element and the chalcogen element and depositing the products of cracking as a metal chalcogenide on a substrate.
- apparatus for depositing thin films comprises means for generating a fine mist from a solution of a mixture of substances which contain chemical elements required in a resulting thin film, means for enabling the mist to be transported to a reaction zone, means for heating the mist in the reaction zone so that the substances therein decompose into their components, and means for enabling the components to be deposited as a thin film on a substrate.
- means are also provided for pre-heating the mist prior to entry into the reaction zone.
- the means for generating a fine mist may comprise a spray head and means for supplying a carrier gas to the spray head.
- apparatus for fabricating a metal-chalcogenide thin film on a substrate comprises means for generating a fine mist of a solution in which an organo-metallic compound including the desired metal and the desired chalcogen is dissolved, means for enabling the mist to be transported to a reaction zone, means for heating the mist in the reaction zone to crack the compound and release the metal element and the chalcogen element and means for enabling the products of cracking to be deposited on a substrate to form a thin film of a metal-chalcogenide compound.
- FIG. 1 illustrates in diagrammatic form apparatus embodying the invention.
- an apparatus comprising a reservoir 1 for a solution 2.
- a supply pipe 3 for a carrier gas terminates in an atomising spray head 4 positioned at the top of reservoir 1 above the level of solution 2.
- Solution 2 can be drawn into spray head 4 through a vertical suction pipe 5 extending almost to the bottom of reservoir 1.
- An output pipe 6 from reservoir 1 passes through a pre-heater 7 to a reaction chamber 8 heated by a heater 9.
- a substrate 10 is positioned in reaction chamber 8 and the temperature of substrate 10 is monitored by means of a thermocouple 11.
- An outlet 12 from chamber 8 is provided for exhaust gases.
- a carrier gas is supplied under moderate pressure to pipe 1 and draws up the solution 2 into the spray head 4 from which a fine mist of the solution emerges.
- the mist is transported by the gas flow along pipe 6 where it is heated by preheater 7 to vapourise it and thence it passes into reaction chamber 8.
- the vapour passes across the heated substrate 10 in chamber 8 it decomposes and its components are deposited as a thin film on substrate 10.
- the mist may be directed at a heated wire or filament so as to coat the wire with a deposited film.
- the coating is of a superconducting material, or can be made superconducting by subsequent heat treatment, it is possible to produce continuous lengths of superconductor coated wires or filaments in this manner.
- the solvent for solution 2 may comprise any suitable solvent depending on the nature of the solute compounds.
- suitable solvents are alcohols, water, DMF and decalin.
- solution 2 comprises a solution of a mixture of compounds each containing one or more of the elemental components of the desired oxide.
- the carrier gas can conveniently be air or oxygen for the subsequent oxidation of the components of the solution after the fine mist has been heated and decomposed.
- the resulting thin film can comprise a multinary compound comprising one or more of the elements of the following chemical groups in any combination:

Abstract
On produit un embrun d'une solution (2) d'un mélange de substances contenant les éléments chimiques constitutifs nécessaires dans une couche mince résultante, par exemple en pulvérisant la solution dans une tête de pulvérisation (4) à l'aide d'un gaz porteur. On transporte l'embrun jusqu'à une chambre de réaction chauffée (8) où elle est décomposée, puis on dépose les constituants en couche mince sur un substrat (10). Le substrat peut se présenter sous la forme d'un fil obtenant ainsi un revêtement. Si le gaz porteur est de l'air ou de l'oxygène et si l'on utilise une solution appropriée contenant des composés de Y, Ba et Cu, on peut déposer des couches minces ou des revêtements que l'on peut rendre supraconducteurs. Dans un autre mode de réalisation on peut déposer des couches minces de chalcogénure métallique.
