Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable film formation while an initial sputtering speed is maintained without contaminating the film by the resultant product of the vapor phase cracking of hydrocarbon by repeating an operation to discharge electricity for a prescribed period of time in the atmosphere of gaseous fluorocarbon after sputtering. CONSTITUTION:The operation to discharge electricity for the prescribed period of time in the atmosphere of the gaseous fluorocarbon after the sputtering is repeated at the time of producing an optical information recording film contg. metals, carbon and hydrogen by sputtering the metallic elements in plasma contg. the gaseous hydrocarbon. CH4, C2H6, etc., are preferably used for the gaseous hydrocarbon and the metallic elements are preferably Te, Se, Bi, etc. The resultant product of the cracking of the gaseous hydrocarbon is then sputtered by the resultant product of the cracking of the gaseous fluorocarbon and, therefore, the target is maintained always in the contamination-free state and the stable film formation is enabled.

Then, the target surface is sputtered by positive ions and argon ions in the plasma, and a film is deposited on the target substrate.

However, at this time, decomposition of hydrocarbons occurs in the gas phase. Therefore, the decomposition products adhere to and coat the target surface. Therefore, unless the hydrocarbon decomposition products adhering to the target surface are removed, film formation by sputtering cannot be continued.

ため、このような生成物がターゲット表面を完全に被覆

Even if some parts are not coated, the power is concentrated in that part, which tends to change from glow discharge (cold cathode discharge) to arc discharge accompanied by thermionic emission, which is inconvenient because uniform film formation cannot be obtained. be. From these points, it is desirable to remove the decomposition products deposited on the target surface as much as possible.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, with this method, productivity cannot be improved because there are limitations on the pressure and flow rate of the sputtering gas, as well as the discharge power. Furthermore, no matter how much the sputtering conditions are restricted, the adhesion of carbon decomposition products cannot be avoided if sputtering is repeated many times, so there is the hassle of interrupting the vacuum atmosphere in the middle of production and brushing the target surface.

Once the chamber was evacuated to below 1X10-6 Torr, ethane gas 6 and argon gas 8 were introduced into the chamber 4, and their flow rates were adjusted to maintain a pressure that would allow glow discharge. Here, the flow rates of both the ethane gas 6 and the argon gas 8 were set to 11003 CC. At this time, the pressure inside the chamber 4 was 10''2 Torr. In this atmosphere, the target 2 was sputtered by supplying 200 W of power from the DC power supply 10 to form the recording film 14 on the glass plate 12 for the substrate. This recording film was found to contain carbon, hydrogen, and Te.
