另外,可以根据需要设置入口压差室11和出口压差室13真空过渡室的个数,比如可以结合镀膜时的真空度以及成本来设置。
本实例中,所述镀膜设备的镀膜技术可以为PVD技术。
基于此,在一实施例中,所述镀膜室可以设置有至少两个用于安放靶材的第一部件,由于设置有至少两个第一部件,从而能够安放不同的靶材,如此,能实现不同膜层的沉积。
当安放多个靶材后,每种靶材之间可以不设隔开措施或特定的距离,这样可以在基地上沉积过渡层,如此,能够增加两膜层之间的结合力。
基于此,在一实施例中,相邻两个第一部件之间可以设置有第一距离,使得相邻两个第一部件中一个部件上的靶材对应的辐射范围与所述相邻两个第一部件中另一个部件上的靶材对应的辐射范围有重叠区域,也就是说,使得所述基底被所述传送装置传送至相邻两个第一部件中一个部件上的靶材对应的辐射范围末端时能够受到所述相邻两个第一部件中另一个部件上的靶材的辐射。
本实施例中,在进入所述镀膜室12之前,需要所述基底足够洁净,以保证沉积的膜层与基底与较强的结合力,因此,在进入所述镀膜室12之前,最好能够对所述基底进行清洗。

基于上述设备结构,本申请实施例还提供了一种真空镀膜方法,如图2所示,该方法包括:
步骤201:从真空镀膜设备入口压差室的至少两条真空线中选择一条真空线。
这里,每条真空线包含至少两级依次连接的真空过渡室;所述至少两条真空线并联。
本实施例中,需要将所述基底先进行镀膜之前的预处理,这种预处理一般在大气环境(可以理解为外界环境)下进行,这种预处理可以包括:细砂喷砂(类似砂纸打磨的作用)、除油等操作,以便所述基底的表面洁净,且平整。
其中,在一实施例中,本步骤的具体实现可以包括:针对每条真空线,检测相应真空线是否处于真空缓冲状态;所述真空缓冲状态下所述相应真空线不满足向所述镀膜室输送所述基底的条件;确定未处于真空缓冲状态的至少一条真空线;从未处于真空缓冲状态的至少一条真空线中选择一条真空线。
其中,处于真空缓冲状态的真空线是不能够用于传送基底的,因此,只能选择不处于真空缓冲状态的真空线来传送基底。
本实施例中,对于一条真空线,只要这条真空线中与大气相通的真空过渡室暂未空闲即与大气相同的真空过渡室里有基底,则不能选择这条真空线。
本实施例中,当未处于真空缓冲状态的真空线有至少两条(即多条)时,可以根据需要来选择一条真空线,比如随机选择一条真空线等。
需要说明的是:本实施例中,在设备运行过程中,多条真空线并联,多条真空线连续切换,以实现源源不断地向镀膜室输送样品。
步骤202:将基底依次传送至选择的真空线的各级真空过渡室,抽真空 使真空度达到各真空过渡室对应的预设真空度。
具体地,针对每个真空过渡室,当将所述基底进入相应真空过渡室时,打开所述相应真空过渡室与所述基底当前所在的真空过渡室之间设置的第二部件,以使所述基底被传送至相应真空过渡室;所述基底进入所述相应真空过渡室后,关闭所述相应真空过渡室与所述基底当前所在的真空过渡室之间设置的第二部件,并抽真空;真空度满足所述相应真空过渡室对应的预设真空度时,打开所述相应真空过渡室与下一个相邻真空过渡室之间设置的第二部件,以使所述基底被传送至所述下一个相邻真空过渡室。
其中,所述基底被传送至所述最后一级真空过渡室,且真空过渡室的真空度与所述镀膜室的真空度相同时,打开所述最后一级真空过渡室与所述镀膜室之间设置的第二部件,以使所述基底被传送至所述镀膜室;传送所述基底至所述镀膜室后,关闭所述最后一级真空过渡室与所述镀膜室之间设置的第二部件。
这里,本实施例中,在设备运行过程中,当所述最后一级真空过渡室的真空度达到预设真空度后,如果出现不能像镀膜室输送基底的情况(比如所述镀膜室正在从别的真空线接收基底等)时,所述最后一级真空过渡室继续处于抽真空的状态,此时,这条真空线也可以称为处于真空缓冲状态。
在一实施例中,所述将基底依次传送至选择的真空线的各级真空过渡室,抽真空使真空度达到各真空过渡室对应的预设真空度时,所述方法还包括:
将所述基底传送至选择的真空线的清洗真空室,抽真空使真空度达到所述清洗真空室的真空度,并对所述基底进行等离子清洗。
这里,对于清洗真空室对应的第二部件,处理方式与真空过渡室对应的第二部件的处理方式相同,这里不再赘述。
这里,本实施例中,所述预设真空度根据需要设置。
步骤203:当所述基底进入选择的真空线的最后一级真空过渡室,且进入后真空过渡室的真空度与所述镀膜室的真空度相同时,将所述基底传送至所述真空镀膜设备的镀膜室,利用所述镀膜室的镀膜设备在所述基底上沉积膜层。
这里,所述利用所述镀膜室的镀膜设备在所述基底上沉积膜层,包括:当所述基底被传送至安放在所述镀膜室第一部件上的第一靶材对应的辐射范围末端时,受第二靶材的辐射,在所述基底上形成过渡层;所述第二靶材安放在与安放所述第一靶材的第一部件间隔第一距离的相邻的第一部件上。
也就是说,第一靶材和第二靶材的辐射范围有重叠区域,在重叠区域,既可以受第一靶材的辐射,又可以受第二靶材的辐射,从而形成过渡层。
步骤204:从所述真空镀膜设备的出口压差室的至少两条真空线中选择一条真空线。
这里,每条真空线包含至少两级依次连接的真空过渡室;所述至少两条真空线并联。
其中,在一实施例中,本步骤的具体实现可以包括:针对每条真空线,检测相应真空线是否处于真空缓冲状态;所述真空缓冲状态下所述相应真空线不满足输出条件;确定未处于真空缓冲状态的至少一条真空线;从未处于真空缓冲状态的至少一条真空线中选择一条真空线。
其中,处于真空缓冲状态的真空线是不能够用于输出沉积有膜层的基底的,因此,只能选择不处于真空缓冲状态的真空线来输出沉积有膜层的基底。
本实施例中,对于一条真空线,只要这条真空线中与镀膜室出口连接的真空过渡室的真空度暂时未达到预设真空度(即未达到与镀膜室基本相同的真空度),则不能选择这套真空线,此时,这条真空线中与镀膜室出口连接的真空过渡室不能接受镀膜室输出的沉积有膜层的基底。
本实施例中,当未处于真空缓冲状态的真空线有至少两条(即多条)时,可以根据需要来选择一条真空线,比如随机选择一条真空线等。
需要说明的是:本实施例中,在设备运行过程中,多条真空线并联,多条真空线连续切换,以实现源源不断地从镀膜室输出样品。
步骤205:将沉积有膜层的基底依次传送至选择的真空线的各级真空过渡室,并抽真空使真空度达到各真空过渡室对应的预设真空度,以输出沉积有膜层的基底。
具体地,针对每个真空过渡室,当所述沉积有膜层的基底进入相应真空过渡室时,打开所述相应真空过渡室与沉积有膜层的基底当前所在的真空过渡室之间设置的第二部件,以使所述沉积有膜层的基底被传送至相应真空过渡室;所述沉积有膜层的基底进入所述相应真空过渡室后,关闭所述相应真空过渡室与所述基底当前所在的真空过渡室之间设置的第二部件,并对所述沉积有膜层的基底当前所在的真空过渡室抽真空;打开所述相应真空过渡室与下一个相邻真空过渡室之间设置的第二部件,以使所述沉积有膜层的基底被传送至所述下一个相邻真空过渡室。
这里,需要说明的是:所述沉积有膜层的基底进入一个真空过渡室,且关闭与前一个相邻真空过渡室之间设置的第二部件后,所述沉积有膜层的基底即可进入下一个相邻的真空过渡室,无需关心前一个相邻真空过渡室的真空度。
当所述基底的膜层沉积完成后,打开与所述镀膜室出口连接的真空过渡室与所述镀膜室之间设置的第二部件,以使所述沉积有膜层的基底被传送至所述与所述镀膜室出口连接的真空过渡室;传送所述沉积有膜层的基底至与所述镀膜室出口连接的真空过渡室后,关闭与所述镀膜室出口连接的真空过渡室与所述镀膜室之间设置的第二部件。
其中,所述基底是通过所述真空镀膜设备的传输装置传送的。
腔体滤波器是一种重要的电子器件,在雷达、微波、通讯等领域有着广泛的应用。目前工业用腔体滤波器的腔体普遍为镁基体或铝基体,因其对腔体导电性的特殊要求,其表面处理方法多采用电镀银工艺对腔体进行表面处理,而滤波器电镀银工艺多为剧毒氰化物电镀工艺,对人体健康以及环境影响较大。
基于此,本申请实施例还提供了一种滤波器腔体膜层的制备方法,采用上述真空镀膜设备来制备滤波器腔体膜层。
其中,所述滤波器腔体为基底,也可以理解为基材。
本实施例中,所述滤波器腔体可以为镁基体或铝基体。
在一实施例中,制备所述滤波器腔体膜层的靶材可以包括:Cr靶、Cu靶、Ag靶;沉积膜层时,在所述滤波器腔体上依次沉积Cr层,Cu层,Ag层。
其中,Cr层为腔体与Cu层之间的过渡层。
在一实施例中,制备所述滤波器腔体膜层的靶材包括:Cr靶、Cu靶、Ag-Ta靶;沉积膜层时,在所述滤波器腔体上依次沉积Cr层,Cu层,Ag-Ta层。
下面结合应用实施例对本申请再作进一步详细的描述。
在本应用实施例中,如图3所示,入口压差室11包含3条真空线,且每条真空线包含真空过渡室111、真空过渡室112、真空过渡室113、清洗真空室114及真空过渡室115,且真空过渡室111、真空过渡室112、真空过渡室113、清洗真空室114及真空过渡室115依次连接,且真空室之间设置有挡板31(上述的第二部件,本实施例中,也可以为门),具体包括挡板311、挡板312、挡板313、挡板314、挡板315。其中,由于真空过渡室111能够与外界大气联通,且负责接送待沉积的样品,所以也可以称为进样真空室;真空过渡室111通过门32与外界大气联通。
出口压差室13也包含3条真空线,且每条真空线包含真空过渡室131、真空过渡室132、真空过渡室133、及真空过渡室134。真空过渡室131、真空过渡室132、真空过渡室133、及真空过渡室134依次连接,且真空室之间设置有挡板33(上述的第二部件),具体包括挡板331、挡板332、挡板333、挡板334。其中,由于真空过渡室134能够与外界大气联通,且负责输出样品,所以也可以称为出样真空室;真空过渡室134通过门34与外界大气联通。
下面对各部分的功能进行详细描述。
对于所述入口压差室11,设置在真空室之间的挡板31,可被打开或关闭,实现真空室之间的联通或真空隔离;设备工作过程中,每个真空室两端的挡板只允许一端打开,即每个真空室一端挡板即将打开或者已经打开时,另外一端的挡板或门必须处于关闭状态。
结合图3,当设备处于工作状态时,每条真空线的工作步骤如下:
步骤A:打开门32,将一定数量的产品放置在传送装置35上的载物装置上,关闭门32,并对进样后的真空过渡室111抽真空至设置的真空度。
步骤B:松开(也可以理解为打开)挡板311,样品进入真空过渡室112,关闭挡板311,并对真空过渡室112抽真空至规定的真空度。同时,对真空过渡室111放气至正常大气压,打开门32,以便开始重新从外界装入样品。
步骤C:松开挡板312,样品进入真空过渡室113,关闭挡板312,并对真空过渡室113抽真空至设置的真空度。
步骤D:松开挡板313,产品进入等清洗真空室114,关闭挡板313,调节等清洗真空室114真空度至设定的真空度,再对样品进行等离子清洗。
步骤E:松开挡板314,产品进入真空过渡室115,关闭挡板314,并对真空过渡室115抽真空至与镀膜室12相同的真空度。
步骤F:松开挡板315,将待镀膜的样品传送至镀膜室12,关闭挡板315,至此完成待镀膜产品的输送过程。
其中,对于入口压差室11,当某条真空线处于真空缓冲状态下时,此条真空线暂停对镀膜室输送产品;与此同时,其它与其并联的真空线在这段时间内(真空线处于真空缓冲状态的时间段内)负责向镀膜室12输送产品,通过数条并联的真空线交叉输送,镀膜室12能够连续、源源不断地从入口压差室11接收待镀膜的产品。
另外,当某条真空线具备向镀膜室12输送产品的条件时(即该条真空线中的真空过渡室115装载有产品,且真空度已经达到设定的真空度要求),且镀膜室12正在从另外一条真空线上接收产品时,则该条真空线的产品保持静止状态,当另外一条真空线上的产品输送完毕后,再松开该真空线的挡板315,开始向镀膜室12输送产品。由控制设备来控制上述过程,通过这种方式,可保证多条输送真空线工作密切配合的同时,不发生输送冲突。
除此以外,可以根据实际需要,增加真空室的数量,缩短真空缓冲的时间,提升加工效率,例如在图3所示的真空过渡个数的基础上,在清洗真空室114前再增加一个或多个真空过渡室,或者,还可以增加清洗真空室114的数量,提升等离子清洗的效率等。
对于所述镀膜室12,镀膜室12的上部并排装有一定数量的靶位36(上 述的第一部件),方便安装不同的靶材,可得到不同的镀层。靶材正下方有产品传送装置37,传送速度可调,比如可以根据沉积的镀层的厚度调整等。
如图3所示,镀膜室12的前端带有数条平行的传送装置,一一对应入口压差室11的数条真空线,按顺序将入口压差室11传送过来的产品输送至传送装置37;镀膜室12的后端带有数条平行的传送装置,一一对应出口压差室13的数条真空线,按顺序将完成镀膜的产品从产品传送装置37输送至对应的出口压差室13的真空线。
本实施例中,可根据需要,在入口压差室11和出口压差室13产能支持的前提下,延长镀膜室12通道的长度,增加上部靶材数量,提升传送装置37链条运行速度,可大幅度提升加工效率。
本实施例中,可根据需要,灵活配置镀层的各类靶材实现不同镀层成膜,实现不同合金镀层成膜。
对于出口压差室13,与所述入口压差室11中的挡板31类似的,设置在真空室之间的挡板33,可打开或关闭,实现真空室之间联通或真空隔离;设备工作过程中,每个真空室两端的挡板只允许一端打开,即每个真空室一端的挡板即将打开或者已经打开时,另外一端的挡板必须处于关闭状态。
结合图3,当设备处于连续镀膜工作状态,每条真空线的工作步骤如下:
步骤A:打开挡板331,完成镀膜的产品从镀膜室12进入真空过渡室131,通过放置在传送装置38上进入真空过渡室131,关闭挡板331。
步骤B:打开挡板332,产品进入真空过渡室132,关闭挡板332。同时对真空过渡室131抽真空,当真空度达到与镀膜室12相同真空度后,准备重新从镀膜室12接收产品。
步骤C:打开挡板333,产品进入真空过渡室133,关闭挡板333。同时,对真空过渡室132抽真空,当达到规定的真空度后,准备重新从真空过渡室131接收产品。
步骤D:打开挡板334,产品进入真空过渡室134,关闭挡板334。同时,对真空过渡室133抽真空,当达到规定的真空度后,准备重新从真空过渡 室132接收产品。
步骤E:对真空过渡室134放气至正常大气压后,打开门34,取出完成镀膜的产品,关闭门34,并对真空过渡室134抽真空至规定的真空度,准备重新从真空过渡室133接收产品。至此,完成产品的输出。
至此,完成整个镀膜过程。
其中,当某条真空线处于真空缓冲状态下(抽真空时间内)时,此条真空线暂停输送产品;与此同时,其它与其并联的真空线在这段时间内(真空线处于真空缓冲状态的时间段内)负责接收镀膜室12输送的产品(控制设备检测到该真空线的真空度不符合要时,会选择其它真空线来负责接收镀膜室12输送的产品),通过数条并联的真空线交叉运行,能够连续、源源不断地将镀膜室12中完成镀膜的产品传送出来。
另外,当某条真空线具备接收镀膜室12输送的产品条件时(即该条真空线中的真空过渡室131无产品,且真空度已经达到规定的要求),而镀膜室12正在往另外一条真空线上传送产品,则该条真空线产品保持静止状态,当往另外一条真空线上的产品传送完毕后,松开该真空线挡板331,开始接收镀膜室12输送的产品。通过这种方式,可保证每条真空线工作密切配合的同时,不发生传送冲突。
除此以外,可以根据实际需要,增加真空过渡室的数量,缩短真空缓冲的时间,提升加工效率,例如在真空过渡室134前再增加一个或多个真空过渡室等。
在本应用实施例中,利用上面描述的过程在滤波器腔体沉积膜层。
具体地,首先,滤波器产品通过进入压差室11被传送至镀膜室12;
这里,传送的具体过程可参照上述入口压差室11的工作过程来理解。
接着,在镀膜室12,滤波器的腔体沉积膜层。
这里,针对滤波器腔体,镀膜室12的上部安装的靶材依次是Cr靶、Cu靶、Ag(或Ag-Ta拼装靶,可以根据需要来选择),滤波器产品在传送装置37链条的带动下,依次沉积Cr、Cu、Ag(或Ag-Ta合金,取决于靶材)三层 镀层,其中Cr镀层最薄,起到基材与镀层的过渡作用,Cu层较厚,是滤波器表面最主要的导电层,滤波器产品最外层沉积较薄的Ag(或Ag-Ta合金)层,主要目的是导电和保护铜层不被氧化。
其中,使用Ag-Ta拼装靶目的是得到Ta含量较低的Ag-Ta合金镀层,既保证了良好的导电性,又提升了滤波器最外层镀层抗氧化性能。
本实施例中,Ag-Ta拼装靶的制作方法是:将数量不等的小块状Ta材料均匀镶嵌在Ag板上,并将镶嵌Ta材的Ag板加工成靶材,比如进行机械加工、设置背板等,最终得到Ag-Ta拼装靶,为保证良好的导电性和一定的抗氧化性能,滤波器产品所需的Ag-Ta拼装靶Ag和Ta的表面积比范围可以为:1:1~10:1,得到的Ag-Ta合金膜层中Ag和Ta的相对原子比范围可以为:4:1~50:1。
其中,本实施例中,为了使得沉积的薄膜中材料分布均匀,可以使用规格一致的块状Ta材料。
块状Ta的大小可以根据需要设置。
所述均匀镶嵌是指:Ag板的单位面积内均镶嵌一块状Ta材料。更具体地,将一块Ag板,将其表面(做成靶材后在沉积过程中朝向滤波器产品的一面)均匀分成N块,每块均镶嵌一块Ta材料。
这里,本实施例中,以能够使沉积的薄膜中材料分布均匀为原则,来设置N的取值。N为大于或等于2的整数。
所述表面积可以理解为有效工作面积,通俗地讲,可以理解为靶材表面外露的面积。这里,靶材表面外露的面积是指:在沉积过程中靶材朝向滤波器产品的一面的面积。
除此以外,镀膜室12的上部,依次安装数量不等的Cr靶、Cu靶、Ag靶(或Ag-Ta拼装靶)三种靶材,每种靶材之间不设隔开措施或特定的距离,使得滤波器产品传送至一种靶材辐射范围的末端时,会受到相邻的第二种靶材的辐射,从而形成较薄的合金层,如滤波器产品在即将离开Gr靶范围区域时,下一区域的Cu靶能够将Cu原子沉积在滤波器产品上,因此,会形成较薄的 Cr-Cu合金过渡层,两层镀层之间结合力更好。
本实施例中,也可对拼装靶材调节不同合金及其合金比例。
在上述步骤的前提下,通过调整各类靶材的溅射功率,传送装置37链条运行速度,在滤波器腔体表面得到不同厚度的复合导电膜层,调整Ag-Ta拼装靶中Ag和Ta发生溅射的面积比,在滤波器表面复合导电膜层最外层得到Ag与Ta不同原子比例的Ag-Ta合金镀层,具体如下:
具体实施例1
按上述介绍的滤波器产品前处理方案及PVD连续镀膜步骤进行操作,镀膜室12中依次安装一定数量的Cr靶,Cu靶,Ag靶,并根据各类靶材的辐射范围以及传送装置37链条运行速度等调节镀膜室各种参数,如表1所示:
Figure PCTCN2019100441-appb-000001
表1
按照表1所示的参数,在滤波器腔体表面得到的Cu层厚度为8μm,Ag层厚度为1μm的复合导电膜层(Cr层属于基体和镀层的过渡层,不做厚度要求)。
具体实施例2
按照上述介绍的滤波器产品前处理方案及PVD连续镀膜步骤进行操作,镀膜室12中依次安装一定数量的Cr靶,Cu靶,Ag-Ta拼装靶,其中Ag-Ta拼装靶Ag与Ta发生溅射的面积比为8:1,并根据各类靶材的辐射范围以及传送装置37链条运行速度等调节镀膜室各种参数,如表2所示:
Figure PCTCN2019100441-appb-000002
Figure PCTCN2019100441-appb-000003
表2
按照表2所示的参数,在滤波器腔体表面得到的Cu层厚度为8μm,Ag-Ta合金镀层厚度为0.9μm的复合导电膜层,其中Ag-Ta合金镀层中Ag和Ta的原子百分比为40:1(Cr层属于基体和镀层的过渡层,不做厚度要求)。
具体实施例3
按照上述介绍的滤波器产品前处理方案及PVD连续镀膜步骤进行操作,镀膜室12中依次安装一定数量的Cr靶,Cu靶,Ag-Ta拼装靶,其中Ag-Ta拼装靶Ag与Ta发生溅射的面积比为4:1,并根据各类靶材的辐射范围以及传送装置37链条运行速度等调节镀膜室各种参数,如表3所示:
Figure PCTCN2019100441-appb-000004
表3
按照表3所示的参数,在滤波器腔体表面得到的Cu层厚度为7μm,Ag-Ta合金镀层厚度为1.1μm的复合导电膜层,其中Ag-Ta合金镀层中Ag和Ta的原子百分比为20:1(Cr层属于基体和镀层的过渡层,不做厚度要求)。
具体实施例4
按照上述介绍的滤波器产品前处理方案及PVD连续镀膜步骤进行操作,镀膜室8中依次安装一定数量的Cr靶,Cu靶,Ag-Ta拼装靶,其中Ag-Ta拼装靶Ag与Ta发生溅射的面积比为2:1,并根据各类靶材的辐射范围以及传送装置37链条运行速度等调节镀膜室各种参数,如表4所示:
Figure PCTCN2019100441-appb-000005
表4
按照表4所示的参数,在滤波器腔体表面得到的Cu层厚度为9μm,Ag-Ta合金镀层厚度为1.2μm的复合导电膜层,其中Ag-Ta合金镀层中Ag和Ta的原子百分比为10:1(Cr层属于基体和镀层的过渡层,不做厚度要求)。
从上面的描述可以看出,本申请实施例真空镀膜设备的入口压差室和出口压差室通过数条真空线并联的结构装置,源源不断地向镀膜室输送待沉积的产品,以及源源不断接收镀膜室输出的已经完成镀膜的滤产品,这样,真空缓冲不再是连续真空镀膜加工效率提升的瓶颈,因此,会大幅度提升沉积工艺效率。
另外,针对滤波器腔体产品,本申请实施例镀膜室上方采用Ag-Ta拼装靶沉积Ag-Ta合金镀层,Ag-Ta拼装靶材采用简单的金属之间相互镶嵌结合的制备方法,较传统的合金靶材(采用冶金的方式得到合金并制作成靶材,比如熔炼或粉末冶金等,制作难度大,周期长)靶材制作难度降低,元素成分调节灵活性提高。
除此以外,针对滤波器腔体产品,采用Ag-Ta拼装靶沉积高银低钽的Ag-Ta合金膜层,作为滤波器最外层的镀层,因Ta本身具有优良的抗氧化性能,与传统的最外层为Ag层的氧化性能比,滤波器表面得到的Ag-Ta合金镀层抗氧化性能提升。
镀膜室中,每种靶材之间不设隔开措施或特定的距离,则滤波器产品传送至一种靶材辐射范围的末端时,会受到相邻的第二种靶材的辐射,从而形成较薄的合金层,作为两种不同镀层之间的过渡层,两层镀层之间结合力较传统的无过渡层的结合方式更加优良。
需要说明的是:图3示出入口压差室设置有五个真空室、出口压差室设置有四个真空室的示例。然而,本实施例中,实施例不限于此,比如,在一实施例中,入口压差室设置有四个或者六个真空室等,出口压差室设置有五个或六个真空室等。
