例えば、特許文献1-3には、Ca含有銅合金からなるスパッタリングターゲットが提案されている。このスパッタリングターゲットは、液晶ディスプレイや有機ELディスプレイなどのフラットパネルディスプレイに用いられる薄膜トランジスタ(以下“TFT”と記す)の配線膜を形成する際に使用されるものである。
従来、大型、高精細のTFTパネルのゲート電極、ソース電極、ドレイン電極などの配線膜としては、アルミニウム(Al)系材料からなる配線膜を使用することが一般的であったが、最近では、配線膜の低抵抗化のため、Alよりも導電率が高い銅(Cu)系材料からなる配線膜を使用することが進められている。
なお、上述の基板に配線膜を形成する際に使用されるスパッタリングターゲットは、例えば鋳造、熱間圧延の工程を経て製造されている。
この構成のCa含有銅合金の製造方法によれば、金属Caを被覆する銅の酸素含有量が100質量ppm未満とされているので、金属Caの酸化を抑制でき、Ca酸化物の巻き込みの少ない高品質な鋳塊を得ることができる。
この構成のCa含有銅合金の製造方法によれば、金属Caの表面に確実に銅を被覆することが可能となる。また、銅の被覆量を比較的精度良く調整することができ、銅被覆Ca材におけるCaの成分値のばらつきを抑制することが可能となる。よって、Ca含有銅合金におけるCa濃度を精度良く調整することができる。
この構成のCa含有銅合金の製造方法によれば、金属Caの体積VCaと被覆された銅の体積VCuとの体積比VCu/VCaが0.01以上とされているので、金属Caの表面を銅で十分に被覆することができ、銅溶湯への添加時に金属Caが金属ヒュームとなることを抑制できる。一方、体積比VCu/VCaが6以下とされているので、この銅被覆Ca材の溶解速度を確保することができる。
この構成のCa含有銅合金の製造方法によれば、金属Caの重量WCaと被覆された銅の重量WCuとの重量比WCu/WCaが0.1以上とされているので、金属Caの表面を銅で十分に被覆することができ、銅溶湯への添加時に金属Caが金属ヒュームとなることを抑制できる。一方、重量比WCu/WCaが35以下とされているので、銅被覆Ca材の溶解速度を確保することができる。
Caの含有量が0.01原子%以上10原子%以下、残部が銅又は不可避不純物とされた組成のCa含有銅合金は、上述のように配線膜を形成するスパッタリングターゲットの素材として適している。よって、本発明のCa含有銅合金の製造方法によれば、Ca濃度のばらつきが小さく、特性に優れた配線膜を安定して形成することが可能なスパッタリングターゲットを得ることができる。また、酸化物の巻き込みの少ない高品質な鋳塊を素材として用いることにより、上述のスパッタリングターゲットを効率良く製造することができる。
この構成のCa含有銅合金の製造方法によれば、粒状又は塊状の前記銅被覆Ca材を用いることにより、銅溶湯中に所定量のCaを添加でき、Ca含有銅合金中のCa濃度を精度良く調整することができる。また、金属Caの表面を確実に銅で被覆することが可能となる。
この構成のCa含有銅合金の製造方法によれば、線状又は棒状の前記銅被覆Ca材を用いることにより、銅溶湯中に所定量のCaを添加でき、Ca含有銅合金中のCa濃度を精度良く調整することができる。
本実施形態であるCa含有銅合金の製造方法においては、Caの含有量が0.01原子%以上10原子%以下の範囲内とされ、残部が銅又は不可避不純物とされた組成の鋳塊1を連続的に鋳造する。なお、この鋳塊1は、半導体装置、液晶や有機ELパネルなどのフラットパネルディスプレイ、タッチパネル等の配線膜として使用されるCa含有銅合金膜を基板上に成膜する際に用いられるスパッタリングターゲットの素材となる。
この連続鋳造装置10は、銅原料を溶解する溶解炉11と、溶解炉11の下流側に配置されたタンディッシュ12と、溶解炉11とタンディッシュ12とをつなぐ連結樋13と、タンディッシュ12に設けられた添加手段14と、タンディッシュ12の下流側に配置されている連続鋳造用鋳型15と、タンディッシュ12から連続鋳造用鋳型15へと銅溶湯を供給する注湯ノズル16と、を備えている。
この銅溶湯3は、不活性ガスや還元性ガスでシールされた連結樋13を介して、タンディッシュ12へと移送される(移送工程S02)。
タンディッシュ12内おいて成分調整された銅溶湯は、注湯ノズル16から連続鋳造用鋳型15内に連続的に注湯され、連続鋳造用鋳型15において銅溶湯3が冷却・凝固されることにより鋳塊1が製造される(鋳造工程S04)。
連続鋳造用鋳型15から製出された鋳塊1は、図示しないピンチロールなどの引き抜き手段により連続的に引き抜かれる。
この銅被覆Ca材20は、金属Caからなるコア部21と、このコア部21を被覆する被覆部22と、を備えており、本実施形態では、粒状又は塊状をなしている。ここで、粒状の銅被覆Ca材20を得るには粒径1~20mmの金属Caを用いるとよい。また、塊状の銅被覆Ca材20を得るには粒径20~100mmの金属Caを用いるとよい。
被覆部22は、酸素含有量が100質量ppm未満とされた銅で構成することができる。本実施形態では、酸素含有量が10質量ppm以下の無酸素銅を用いた。さらに、溶射又は蒸着によって、金属Caからなるコア部21の表面に被覆部22が形成されている。被覆部22を構成する無酸素銅の酸素含有量の下限値は特に限定されないが、酸素含有量の下限値が0.5質量ppmの銅を使用することができる。(酸素を全く含有しない場合も含んでよい。)
また、金属Caからなるコア部21の重量WCaと無酸素銅からなる被覆部22の重量WCuとの重量比WCu/WCaが、0.1≦WCu/WCa≦35の範囲内とされている。重量比WCu/WCaは、より好ましくは1≦WCu/WCa≦18、更に好ましくは10≦WCu/WCa≦12である。
また、Ca酸化物の発生を抑制でき、浮遊物(Ca酸化物等の酸化物)の巻き込みの少ない高品質な鋳塊1を製造することが可能となる。
また、本実施形態の銅被覆Ca材20においては、溶射又は蒸着によって金属Caからなるコア部21の表面に無酸素銅からなる被覆部22が形成されているので、金属Caからなるコア部21の表面に確実に無酸素銅を被覆することが可能となる。また、無酸素銅の被覆量を比較的精度良く制御することができ、銅被覆Ca材20におけるCa含有量のばらつきを抑制することが可能となる。
たとえば、本実施形態では、銅被覆Ca材が粒状又は塊状をなすものとして説明したが、これに限定されることはなく、線状又は棒状をなすものであってもよい。線状の銅被覆Ca材を得るには、特に限定されないが、直径φ0.1~8mm、長さ10mm以上である金属Caを用いるとよい。棒状の銅被覆Ca材を得るには、特に限定されないが、直径φ8~40mm、長さ10mm以上である金属Caを用いるとよい。
さらに、スパッタリングターゲットの素材として用いられる鋳塊を製造するものとして説明したが、これに限定されることはなく、他の用途に使用されるCa含有銅合金であってもよい。
さらに、金属Caを被覆する銅として無酸素銅を用いたものとして説明したが、これに限定されることはなく、他の銅又は銅合金によって金属Caを被覆してもよい。
また、電気銅を溶解した銅溶湯に対して銅被覆Ca材を添加するものとして説明したが、これに限定されることはなく、他の銅又は銅合金からなる銅溶湯に対して銅被覆Ca材を添加してもよい。
また、本実施形態では、金属Caからなるコア部の重量WCaと無酸素銅からなる被覆部の重量WCuとの重量比WCu/WCaが、0.1≦WCu/WCa≦35の範囲内となるように構成したものとして説明したが、これに限定されることはなく、上述の重量比WCu/WCaは、使用状況に応じて適宜設計変更してもよい。
以下に、本発明のCa含有銅合金の製造方法について評価した評価試験の結果について説明する。
酸素含有量が100質量ppm未満とされた無酸素銅ワイヤφ3mm(酸素含有量10質量ppm以下)を準備し、金属Caの表面にアーク溶射法又はフレーム溶射法により溶射処理を施し、銅被覆Ca材を作製した。このとき、金属Caとして、粒径5mmから10mmの塊状のものと、φ10mm×20mmの棒状のものを準備した。
金網の上に金属Caを均等に並べ、金網を振動させて金属Caに均一に無酸素銅を溶着させた。この作業を少なくとも1回以上実施し、金属Caの表面が完全に被覆されたことを目視で確認した。なお、被覆された銅の厚みはおよそ1mmであった。
真空溶解炉にて、純度99.9mass%以上の電気銅5kgを1150℃で溶解し、その後Ar雰囲気中で保持した銅溶湯中に、上述した銅被覆Ca材を用いて、Ca濃度が表1に示す目標濃度となるように添加し、鉄製の鋳型に鋳込み、70mm×50mm×150mmの鋳塊を得た。
真空溶解炉にて、純度99.9mass%以上の電気銅5kgを1150℃で溶解し、その後Ar雰囲気中で保持した銅溶湯中に、塊状の金属Caを用いて、Ca濃度が表1に示す目標濃度となるように添加し、鉄製の鋳型に鋳込み、70mm×50mm×150mmの鋳塊を得た。
銅被覆Ca材又は金属Caを添加した際の銅溶湯表面を観察し、銅溶湯表面上の浮遊物(Ca酸化物)の発生状況を確認した。溶湯表面の10%未満の面積が浮遊物で覆われていた場合を「A」、銅溶湯表面の10%以上50%未満の面積が浮遊物で覆われていた場合を「B」、銅溶湯表面の50%以上の面積が浮遊物で覆われていた場合を「C」と評価した。
得られた鋳塊の表面を観察し、浮遊物(Ca酸化物等の酸化物)の巻き込みの発生状況を確認した。目視にて酸化物の巻き込みが確認されなかったものを「A」、目視にて5mm未満の酸化物の巻き込みが確認されたものを「B」、目視にて5mm以上の酸化物の巻き込みが多数確認されたものを「C」、目視にて10mm以上の酸化物の巻き込みが多数確認されたものを「D」と評価した。
得られた鋳塊の成分分析を発光分光分析装置を用いて実施し、添加したCa量と、鋳塊内のCa量の分析結果から、Caの添加歩留(質量%)を計算した(鋳塊内のCa量/添加したCa量×100)。
鋳塊のTOP部(20mm位置)、Middle部(80mm位置)、Bottom部(140mm位置)から分析サンプルを採取し、Ca濃度(mass%)を測定した。3つのサンプルのCa濃度のばらつきが10%未満のものを「A」、Ca濃度のばらつきが10%以上50%未満のものを「B」、Ca濃度のばらつきが50%以上のものを「C」と評価した。
さらに比較例1、2の鋳塊では、Ca添加歩留が低く、鋳塊内のCa濃度のばらつきも大きくなっており、Ca濃度を精度良く調整することができなかった。
次に、表2に示す銅被覆Ca材を、以下のようにして準備した。
表2に示す酸素含有量の銅ワイヤφ3mmを準備し、金属Caの表面にアーク溶射法又はフレーム溶射法により溶射処理を施した。このとき、金網の上に金属Caを均等に並べ、金網を振動させて金属Caに均一に銅材を溶着させた。この作業を少なくとも1回以上実施し、金属Caの表面が完全に被覆されたことを目視で確認した。
