Definitions
- This invention relates to a vacuum deposition system including a mobile source.
- vacuum deposition is given a broad meaning and includes all processes in which an article is coated with a material under vacuum conditions and includes, for example, vapour deposition, sputtering and electron beam evaporation.
- the invention has particular but not exclusive application to high vacuum vapour deposition systems for coating panels of circuit boards with electrically conductive material such as copper.
- Circuit boards often include blind or through holes which extend perpendicularly to the major surface of the circuit board. Difficulties exist in depositing conductive material into the bores of the blind holes and through holes, particularly where the hole has a relatively small diameter and/or large depth. This is due to the fact that the material must be travelling at a particular angle of incidence relative to the board in order to enter the hole and impinge on the bore. Thus, it will be readily understood that only a small percentage of the total material satisfies this requirement and enters the hole.
- the invention resides in a vacuum deposition system including :- a vacuum chamber adapted to accomodate an article to be coated with a material; vacuum generating means for generating a vacuum within the vacuum chamber; a material source located within the vacuum chamber for coating the article; transportation means for transporting the material source within the vacuum chamber, wherein the material source is omni-directional and includes a shield so that only a selected beam of material impinges on the article and wherein the article is swept by the beam of material.
- the shield is made out of said material to facilitate recovery of said material which impinges on the shield.
- the article is also moved within the vacuum chamber.
- the article is moved within the vacuum chamber in a first direction and the material source is transported in a second direction which is generally orthogonal to the first direction.
- the invention resides in a vacuum deposition system including :- a vacuum chamber adapted to accomodate an article to be coated with a material ; vacuum generating means for generating a vacuum within the vacuum chamber; a mobile shielded material source located within the vacuum chamber .
- FIG 1 is a schematic plan view of a vaccum deposition system with no panel present in the vacuum chamber.
- FIG 2 is an end sectional view of the vacuum deposition system with a panel present.
- the drawings illustrate a vacuum chamber 9 in which a material source 11 produces vapour for deposition on a panel 3 having holes 4 therein which are to be plated.
- Material source 11 is located in a shield 2 in a manner subsequently to be described. Material source 11 and shield 2 move in the direction illustrated by the arrow in FIG 1 and panel 3 moves transverse to this direction.
- Panel 3 is gripped by panel handling grippers 1 and moves continuously or incrementally toward the rotating position 12 and source 11 moves back and forward across panel 3 at a speed and distance which is conducive to optimum coverage of the first side of the panel.
- panel 3 When panel 3 reaches the rotating position 12 it is released by the panel handling grippers 1 and it is rotated 180 degrees by motion through vacuum shaft seal 13.
- the panel is then moved back to a load lock gate as the second side is coated in the same way as the first . At this point emission from the source may be reduced or stopped until the next panel enters through the load lock.
- vacuum chamber 9 has an evacuation port 7, a plating material source 11 and a shield 2 surrounding source 11.
- Shield 2 is shaped to allow only a limited amount of atoms or ions from source 11 to reach substrate 3, and to capture all other plating materials for recovery or re-use.
- the shield 2 may be made of the same material as the plating material and may be removed with the captured waste at the end of the plating run and be replaced with a new shield or may be made of a different material from which the waste material may be recovered by physical or chemical means.
- the shield 2 may be allowed to reach a temperature as imparted by the source or may be cooled by fluid cooling, heat sinking or other means well known to operators experienced in the art of heat exchange .
- the shield 2 is preferably moved within the borders of the substrate so that virtually no plating material escapes into the chamber, although if it is required to have an even thickness of plating to the edge of the border the shield and source may be moved beyond the border.
- a cover shield 5 captures plating material which escapes in such circumstances.
- shield 2 is designed such that only those atoms or ions of the plating material from the source which will deposit on the hole bore to the desired depth in the smallest diameter holes are allowed to escape capture by the shield. This is particularly beneficial when these holes have a small diameter compared to the substrate thickness (high aspect ratio) .
- the design of shield 2 to facilitate this is effected by adjusting the height of the walls and the width of the opening of the shield until the optimum result in the holes is achieved. Generally when the source and shield are moved closer to the substrate the deposition rate will be faster and waste will be reduced.
- Cover shield 5 may be used to capture plating material which escapes the substrate border.
- rotating means invert the panel or alternatively a source or sources are located on opposite sides of the substrate to simultaneously coat the substrate.
- the substrate can be arranged vertically.
- the system allows efficient coating of a substrate surface whilst reducing substrate heating and captures the majority of the waste for plating material recovery and or re-use.
- the system also effectively plates the bore of holes, especially high aspect ratio holes in a substrate, whilst reducing the thickness of the surface deposit and reducing substrate heating. This is particularly advantageous when the substrate is to become a printed circuit where some of the surface plating will subsequently be removed by etching means.
