Background technique [0002] In the process of preparing thin films by arc ion plating, due to the arc spot current density as high as 2.5~5×10 10 A / m 2 , causing molten liquid metal to appear at the arc spot position on the target surface, which is splashed out in the form of droplets under the action of local plasma pressure, and adheres to the surface of the film or is embedded in the film to form "macroparticles" (Macroparticles) Defects (BoxmanR L, Goldsmith S. Macroparticle contamination in cathodic arc coatings: generation, transport and control [J]. Surf Coat Tech, 1992, 52(1): 39-50.).

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem of low ionization rate and thin film deposition efficiency of traditional magnetron sputtering technology, the limitation of high melting point target material use, and the current high-power pulse magnetron sputtering. The plating method uses high melting point targets, low melting point pure metals (such as aluminum, tin) or multi-element alloy materials (such as AlSi alloys) and non-metallic materials (such as graphite and semiconductor materials Si) as targets that are prone to large particle defects, bending Low efficiency of arc plasma transmission caused by type magnetic filter technology, limitation of target element usage and uniform ablation, thin film deposition density and defects, deposition position limitation caused by vacuum chamber space and target source layout design, workpiece shape limitation and different target In order to solve problems such as contamination of film components caused by secondary sputtering of residues in multi-level magnetic field devices, pure metals with low melting points (such as aluminum, tin) or multi-element alloy materials (such as AlSi alloys) and non-metallic materials (such as graphite and Semiconductor material Si, etc.) as the target material of high-power pulsed magnetron sputtering, and then use the arc ion plating method to realize the high melting point refractory target material to produce continuous and stable plasma with high ionization rate, combined with multi-level magnetic field filtering method and The shape constraints of the lined bias straight tube and the porous baffle combined device and the composite effect of the bias electric field attraction eliminate the large particle defects contained in the arc plasma, and at the same time ensure that the arc plasma passes through the inner tube with high transmission efficiency.
