The term " gap " that present disclosure uses in the whole text can be regarded as meaning that there is no packing material (such as bonding materials Material or protection materials) or it is present in any other element of the equipment in gap.Specifically, it is not provided in the second gap 160 The material of such as jointing material or packing material.In other words, the first gap 150 and the second gap 160 can be empty interval. Although it is to be appreciated, however, that the material or other elements of equipment, during sputtering technology, such as work are not present in gap The gas of skill gas can reside in gap.Gap is still considered as being not filled by or empty.
According to the different embodiments that can be combined with other embodiments as described herein, target material can selected from by with The group of lower material composition: ceramics, metal, ITO, IZO, IGZO, AZO, SnO, AlSnO, InGaSnO, titanium, aluminium, copper, molybdenum and with The combination of upper material.Target material perhaps by be deposited on substrate material provide or by be considered in processing region Reaction gas reaction and be then deposited on after being reacted with reaction gas the material on substrate offer.
Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B show influence of the temperature change to bonding material layer, to illustrate to use the embodiment party of present disclosure The achievable effect of formula and benefit.
In sputter deposition craft, it can be formed by increasing the reduction brief summary of target temperature during sputtering.In order to increase Target temperature can reduce target revolving speed and/or can reduce the water flow for for example flowing through the cooling water of penstock.Due to target temperature The temperature change of degree, such as stop when new target is transmitted in sputtering chamber and sputters so that when target temperature rapid decrease, Target gap (the first gap) can be with expansion and contraction.Particularly when adhesive layer is set as a pantostrat 330, jointing material can Plastically to be come out from target gap, as indicated by the reference number 332 in Fig. 3 B, produced so as to cause arcing and/or particle It is raw.
Jointing material comes out from target gap in order to prevent, and jointing material can be recess.Particularly, in the disclosure Hold and second gap bigger than the first gap (target gap) is provided.Even if jointing material will not arrive when target temperature changes Up to the first gap, and it can reduce or even avoid arcing and/or particle to generate.
