Embodiment
Below with reference to the drawings, the present invention is described in further detail.
As shown in Figure 1, be a kind of anode for sputter coating 100 that first embodiment of the invention provides, plated film is carried out on its surface that is used to treat sputter workpiece 200; Described anode for sputter coating 100 comprises a housing 10, a target source 20, a bearing base 30 and a drive unit 40.
Described housing 10 comprises that a shell 10a and is fixedly arranged on the inner casing 10b of shell 10a center, described target source 20 is fixedly arranged between described shell 10a and the inner casing 10b, and this target source 20 and inner casing 10b are divided into a sputter space 11 and an accommodation space 12 with the internal space of shell 10a.Described shell 10a outer setting one a reactant gases import system 13 and a vacuum evacuating system 14, and described reactant gases import system 13 and vacuum evacuating system 14 all are connected with described sputter space 11.
Described target source 20 comprises two cooling bases 21, two magnet assemblies 22 and targets 23, and described two magnet assemblies 22 are suspended between two cooling bases 21.Described two cooling bases 21 all are circular ring, and be connected between inner casing 10b and the shell 10a at the cooling base 21 above the described magnet assembly 22 and in the compartment of terrain that is parallel to each other of the cooling base 21 below the described magnet assembly 22, described shell 10a, inner casing 10b and two cooling bases 21 form described accommodation spaces 12.All be provided with the cooling channel in described two cooling bases 21 and two cooling channels 211 are interconnected.Each magnet assembly 22 comprises a sway brace 221 and a plurality of magnet 222 that is fixedly arranged on the sway brace 221, and described magnet 222 is co-axial ring-shaped magnet, and the polarity of adjacent two magnet 222 is opposite.Described target 23 is fixedly arranged on the cooling base 21 of described magnet assembly 22 belows, and is loaded with a plate supply Vcc+ on this cooling base 21.
Described bearing base 30 is structure in the form of a ring, its be fixedly arranged on the bottom side of described shell 10a and be positioned at sputter space 11 the bottom and with described target 23 corresponding settings, this bearing base 30 is used to carry the described sputter workpiece 200 for the treatment of.Be loaded with a cathode power Vcc-on the described bearing base 30.
Described drive unit 40 is arranged in the described accommodation space 12, and it comprises a CD-ROM drive motor 41, a transmission rod 42, a linear motor 43 and a bearing 44.Described CD-ROM drive motor 41 comprises a drive source 411 and a driving stem 412, and described drive source 411 is fixedly arranged on the shell 10a of bottom of described accommodation space 12.Described linear motor 43 comprises a stator 431 and a rotor 432.Described driving stem 412 is fixedly arranged on an end of described transmission rod 42, and the axis of driving stem 412 and transmission rod 42 is on same straight line, and described stator 431 is fixedly arranged on the other end of transmission rod 42, and the axis of rotor 432 is vertical mutually with the axis of transmission rod 42.The sway brace 221 of described magnet assembly 22 is fixedly arranged on the two ends of rotor 432.Described transmission rod 42 is sheathed in the bearing 44, and described bearing 44 is installed between the inner casing 10b.
As shown in Figure 2, the anode for sputter coating 100a of second kind of embodiment provided by the invention, anode for sputter coating 100 different being that it provides with first embodiment: described cooling base 21 above magnet assembly 22 be circular and be fixedly arranged on inner casing 10b and shell 10a between, described cooling base 21 below magnet assembly 22 is in the form of annular discs and be fixedly arranged between the shell 10a; Described drive source 411 is fixedly arranged on the shell 10a at top of described accommodation space 12.The anode for sputter coating 100a that present embodiment provides makes that the shared space of accommodation space 12 is less, and makes the cooling base 21 near sputter space 11 can be designed as circle, thereby can place more target 23; Simultaneously, described bearing base 30 also can be designed to circle, thereby can place the more or bigger sputter workpiece 200 for the treatment of.
Before sputter began, described vacuum evacuating system 14 had been pumped into 1.3 * 10 with sputter space 11
-3Behind the vacuum state of Pa, charge into rare gas element argon gas (Ar) to sputter space 11 again.Then, unlatching is carried in cooling base 21 plate supply Vcc+ and is carried in cathode power Vcc-on the bearing base 30, thereby between cooling base 21 and bearing base 30, form high-voltage potential, because the electron excitation rare gas element that glow discharge (glowdischarge) produces, produce plasma gas, described plasma gas is driven the atom of metal targets out of under the effect in the magnetic field of described magnet 222, is deposited on to treat on the sputter workpiece 200.
Described CD-ROM drive motor 41 drives the axis rotation of described magnet assembly 22 around described driving stem 412, thereby makes whole target 23 surfaces can both be loaded into magnetic field.Described linear motor 43 drives the bearing of trend to-and-fro movement of magnet assembly 22 along sway brace 221, also and then moves in the magnetic field that makes a plurality of magnet 222 produce.Thereby make that the magnetic field that is carried in target 23 surfaces is alternately strong and weak, the magnetic field that is carried in target 23 surfaces during with these a plurality of magnet 222 transfixions is compared, the magnetic field that be carried in target 23 surfaces this moment become relative evenly, and then make the surface of target 23 be bombarded uniformly by plasma gas, improved the utilization ratio of target 23.
The anode for sputter coating that embodiment of the present invention provides not only can rotate around sway brace by the magnet that linear motor control is positioned at the target top, can also move along the sway brace bearing of trend, thereby the magnetic field that magnet is carried on target becomes even, target is consumed in the sputter process evenly, and then improve the utilization ratio of target.
Be understandable that, for the person of ordinary skill of the art, can make change and the distortion that other various pictures are answered by technical conceive according to the present invention, and all these change the protection domain that all should belong to claim of the present invention with distortion.
