Background
Y2O3And ZrO2The ceramic material has wide application in the fields of protection of IC equipment key parts and high-temperature oxidation resistance of metal materials. Taking the reaction chamber of the etching machine as an example, the etching uses the bombardment of high-energy plasma of strong corrosive gas to generate a high-strength corrosion environment, metal parts in the high-strength corrosion environment can be seriously corroded, and gold is releasedThe ions or particles pollute the cavity, and the circuit of the chip is short-circuited. In this case, a high purity dense oxide ceramic material is an ideal protective material.
The traditional IC equipment parts are protected by an anodic aluminum oxide coating. Because the parts are in a strong corrosive environment and an ion bombardment interaction state, once metal ions generated by corrosion dissolve out to cause system pollution, the loss cannot be estimated. Research shows that the yttrium oxide coating has better plasma erosion resistance and longer service life than aluminum oxide, so that the yttrium oxide coating becomes a novel coating for protecting IC equipment parts. Besides etchers, yttria coatings have great application value in other IC equipment components. However, yttrium is a precious metal and the yield of yttrium oxide, an oxide, is limited. The zirconium oxide can be used as a substitute of yttrium oxide, has similar antioxidant and protective effects, and can be used at a lower cost. Therefore, zirconia coatings and yttria-stabilized zirconia coatings are also the focus of research in this field.
The cold spraying solid deposition technology is a novel spraying technology which takes compressed gas (nitrogen, helium, air or mixed gas and the like) as an accelerating medium to drive metal particles to collide a substrate at a very high speed in a solid state, so that the particles are subjected to strong plastic deformation to deposit and form a coating. The atmospheric plasma spraying technology is to burn hydrocarbon gas such as propane, propylene and the like or liquid fuel such as aviation kerosene, alcohol and the like and high-pressure oxygen in a combustion chamber or a special nozzle to generate high-temperature and high-pressure flame flow, the temperature of the flame flow can reach 3200 ℃, the speed of the flame flow can reach more than 1500m/s, powder is axially or radially fed into plasma to generate molten or semi-molten particles, and the molten or semi-molten particles impact the surface of a substrate at high speed to form a coating. The bond strength, density and hardness of the sprayed coating are very high due to the spray particles impinging on the substrate surface at supersonic flight. ZrO (ZrO)2And Y2O3And the ceramic material is a more common ceramic material and has wider application in corrosive environments such as high-temperature oxidation and plasma erosion resistance. At the same time, ZrO2Is less costly than Y2O3Low, resources are comparativelyIs rich in Y and can replace Y in some use environments2O3The ceramic material achieves similar protection effect. At present, no atmosphere plasma spraying method for preparing Al-ZrO exists in China2/Y2O3Research on composite coating materials reports that work on high purity, high density Al-ZrO2/Y2O3The research on the composite coating material has important significance.
