[0048] image 3 It is a top view of the position structure between the compact and efficient quasi-diffusion arc cold cathode arc source two-pole radial rotating magnetic field generator, the arc source and the flange sleeve. The two-pole radial rotating magnetic field generating device 12 of the first embodiment of the present invention is composed of a multi-pole (12n, n is an integer, n≥2) iron core skeleton and enameled wire windings. The two-pole radial rotating magnetic field generating device 12 has slots inside. The gap 27, one end of the arc ignition device 15 corresponds to the target 1. The iron core is made of laminated ring-shaped silicon steel sheets with a high magnetic permeability (2000~6000H/m) and a thickness of 00.5mm. The inner circle of the iron core is provided with slots for inserting winding coils. The slot shape is semi-closed. The inner diameter of the iron core is 182mm, which is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the flange sleeve 29. The outer diameter of the iron core is selected according to the standard and is sheathed on the flange sleeve 29 by an insulating sleeve; the surface of the silicon steel sheet is coated with high-voltage insulating paint, iron The core material is cold-rolled silicon steel. The enameled wire winding coil of the two-pole radial rotating magnetic field generating device 12 is made of high-strength polyurethane enameled copper wire (QZY-2), and a two-speed winding with a regular distribution of double pole ratio and a △/2Y connection method is adopted. Each phase consists of 2 six-groups, 2 poles 60 phases with saliency wiring, the polarity between the two phases is opposite; half of the coil groups are reversed to obtain a 120-phase 4-pole winding, that is, all coil poles at 4 poles The same sex, and use a △-shaped connection. There are 6 winding lead wires, the end wires 2U, 2V, and 2W of the three-phase intermediate tap are left unconnected, and the power supply enters from 4U, 4V, and 4W to generate a two-pole radial magnetic field. Figure 4 (a) is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure and cable distribution of the magnetic field generator. Figure 4 (b) is a schematic diagram of the transient magnetic field distribution in the cross-section of the two-pole radial rotating magnetic field. It can be seen that the magnetic field on the cross-section in the middle of the two-pole radial magnetic field generating device 12 is a two-pole radial magnetic field that completely covers the entire target surface. The intensity is uniform, and the frequency and intensity are adjustable.
[0049] The enameled wire winding of the two-pole radial rotating magnetic field generator 12 is excited by a three-phase variable frequency sinusoidal AC power supply with a phase difference of 120°. The current frequency and voltage can be adjusted separately. The voltage range is 0-380V, and the frequency range is 10-500Hz. The voltage adjusts the intensity of the two-pole radial rotating magnetic field, and the rotation speed of the two-pole radial rotating magnetic field is adjusted by the current frequency; the frequency conversion power supply is made with a microprocessor as the core, manufactured by PWM (pulse width modulation), and designed with an active component IGBT module It adopts digital frequency division, D/A conversion, instantaneous value feedback, sinusoidal pulse width modulation and other technologies to produce, with short circuit, overcurrent, overload, overheating and other protection functions.
[0050] The arc spot movement is controlled by the two-pole rotating radial magnetic field with adjustable frequency and intensity covering the entire target surface. The radial magnetic field covering the entire target surface causes the arc spot to retreat linearly in the direction of the vertical radial magnetic field. The radial magnetic field moves randomly. Since the radial magnetic field is not limited to a certain range of the target surface, but covers the entire target surface, the random movement of the arc spot along the radial magnetic field is also along the entire target surface. At the same time, the high-frequency rotation of the two-pole radial magnetic field will cause the arc spot to superimpose the rotating motion. Therefore, the arc spot will be distributed on the entire target surface under the combined action of a certain magnetic field strength and a certain rotation frequency, which greatly reduces the arc. The power density of the spot. The rotating radial magnetic field can constrain the plasma in front of the target, constrain the movement of electrons and ions, increase the electron density in front of the target greatly, promote collisions between particles, increase ion density and ionization rate, and further strengthen the bombardment of ions on the target surface. Effective, but the enhancement of the bombardment effect is distributed throughout the target surface, which promotes the thermal field electron emission of the target surface, increases the effective electron quantity, and makes the arc spot concentrated high power density emission (the cause of large particles) It transforms into uniform low-power density thermal field electron emission across the entire target surface, realizing a quasi-diffusion arc state, greatly reducing particle emission, and improving evaporation and ionization effects.
[0051] However, the radial magnetic field has the effect of confining the plasma. In order to further improve the transmission efficiency of the plasma, the magnetic field is guided through the axial focus of the front section of the target to extract the purified high-density plasma. The axial focusing and guiding magnetic field generating device 13 is composed of an electromagnetic coil wound by enameled wire. The inside and outside of the electromagnetic coil are insulated and protected. The focusing and guiding magnetic field coil is insulated and protected by the flange sleeve insulating sleeve 8 and the flange sleeve 29, and is placed in the second pole diameter. To the front section of the rotating magnetic field generator 12, a ring-shaped high-permeability (2000~6000H/m) iron core coaxial focusing magnetic field yoke 14 can be connected to the bottom to avoid the influence of the axial focusing magnetic field on the rotating radial magnetic field. Direct current is applied to the coil in the focusing and guiding magnetic field generating device 13, and the intensity of the focusing and guiding magnetic field is adjusted by the current.
