Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving adhesive force of a metal film circuit on a silicon wafer, which belongs to the technical field of microwave integrated circuit micromachining. The method comprises the following steps of: growing a metal film on the silicon wafer by adopting normal-temperature direct-current magnetron sputtering, completing the patterning of the metal film circuit, then putting the silicon wafer into a high-temperature and high-pressure atmosphere furnace, carrying out heat preservation and pressure maintaining treatment for a certain period of time, and then cooling and taking out the silicon wafer. Compared with the prior art, the method provided by the invention has the advantages that the adhesive force of a metal film circuit film layer is remarkably improved, the overall process time is shortened by more than a half by a normal-temperature magnetron sputtering process, and the requirements of silicon-based cavity circulator device production on device reliability and production efficiency are met.
