Design method for composite target for magnetron sputtering

Abstract

The invention discloses a design method for a composite target for magnetron sputtering and relates to the fields of magnetron sputtering techniques and preparation techniques of functional films of inorganic compounds. The composite target is formed by uniformly and alternatively splicing simple-substance sheet targets, being divided into 5-degree, 10-degree, 30-degree and 60-degree fan-shaped sections, of each component according to certain angles, wherein the components are uniform in ingredient proportion, are stable and are easy to change; and the ingredients of the composite target can be adjusted by adjusting the angles of the fan-shaped sections of each component so as to adjust the stoichiometric ratio of a compound film, and the ingredients of the compound film obtained by utilizing sputtering are uniform. The design method is especially suitable for film preparation of Heusler compounds and half Heusler compounds which have brittleness and are difficultly prepared into the compound targets accordant with the stoichiometric ratio because the differences among the melting points of the components are relatively large or the ingredients of the partial components are easy to segregate and is a novel composite target design method for co-sputtering growing of the compound film or the composite film without utilizing a multi-target co-sputtering method.
