Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sputtering coating, and more specifically, to a cleaning auxiliary device applied to vacuum sputtering coating. Background Art

[0002] Sputtering deposition is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process that is widely used in thin film preparation. The principle of sputtering deposition is to bombard the target material with high-energy particles and knock out the target particles on the target material, so that the target particles are deposited to form a thin film. However, after the high-energy particles bombard the target material, the high-energy particles will adhere to the target material, resulting in the formation of a thin film doped with other particles when another particle is used to bombard the target material again, affecting the reliability of sputtering deposition.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to clean other particles on the target material during the next coating process. However, during the cleaning process, since the working gas input channel is always connected, the target material or gas material falls into the working gas input channel, causing contamination of the working gas input channel. Summary of the invention

When the process coating is performed, the rotating mechanism 41 rotates the shield plate 60 to the transition chamber 20 to prevent the shield plate 60 from affecting the input of the working gas of the working gas input channel 30, causing uneven sputtering coating. When the shield plate 60 needs to be replaced, the shield plate 60 is lifted up by the lifting claw 103 of the lifting device 101 to output the wafer or the inlet and outlet of the shield plate 60 are automatically replaced.

[0005] A cleaning auxiliary device for vacuum sputtering coating includes a process coating chamber 10, characterized in that: a transition chamber 20 is provided on one side of the process coating chamber 10, a wafer or shielding plate 60 inlet and outlet is also provided on the side of the adjacent transition chamber 20 of the process coating chamber 10, a working gas input channel 30 is provided at the bottom of the process coating chamber 10, the transition chamber 20 is communicated with the process coating chamber 10, a rotating shielding mechanism 40 and a lifting mechanism 100 are provided in the process coating chamber 10, and the rotating shielding mechanism 40 The support plate 70 includes a shield plate 60, a supporting plate 70 and a rotating mechanism 41. The shield plate 60 is clamped with the supporting plate 70. A rotating mechanism 41 is provided at a lower part of one side of the supporting plate 70. The supporting plate 70 is rotated by the rotating mechanism 41, so that the supporting plate 70 carries the shield plate 60. The supporting plate 70 is a special-shaped structure. The supporting plate 70 includes a main bearing plate 72 and a first supporting claw 73 and a second supporting claw 74 extending outward. The first supporting claw 73 and the second supporting claw 74 are integrally formed with the main bearing plate 72. The first supporting claw 73 and the second supporting claw 74 are integrally formed with the main bearing plate 72. A relief is provided at the connection between the second supporting claw 74 and the main bearing plate 72. The lifting mechanism 100 includes a lifting device 101 and a lifting ring 102. The lifting device 101 is connected to the lower part of the lifting ring 102. The lifting ring 102 is located at the lower part of the supporting plate 70 and has a plurality of lifting claws 103 arranged at intervals on the lifting ring 102. The lifting claws 103 can pass through the relief and perform lifting and lowering movements. When the process coating chamber 10 needs to be cleaned, the rotating mechanism 41 rotates the shielding plate 60 to the upper part of the working gas input channel 30 to shield the working gas from the working gas. The working gas input channel 30 is used to prevent the target material or gas material from falling into the working gas input channel 30 during the cleaning process, causing contamination of the working gas input channel 30. When the process coating is carried out, the rotating mechanism 41 rotates the shield 60 to the transition chamber 20 to prevent the shield 60 from affecting the input of the working gas into the working gas input channel 30, causing uneven sputtering coating. When the shield 60 needs to be replaced, the shield 60 is lifted up by the lifting claw 103 of the lifting device 101 and the wafer is output, or the inlet and outlet of the shield 60 are automatically replaced.

[0006] Furthermore, a position detection mechanism 21 is provided at the transition chamber 20. When the rotating mechanism 41 rotates the baffle 60 to the transition chamber 20, the position detection mechanism 21 detects the baffle 60 and is used to give the process coating chamber 10 a signal to start the coating process.

[0007] Furthermore, the area of ​​the shielding plate 60 is larger than the diameter of the working gas input channel 30 , so as to completely shield the working gas input channel 30 .

[0008] Furthermore, the top of the working gas input channel 30 is connected to the wafer carrier plate, and a plurality of vents 31 are provided on the wafer carrier plate. The working gas input channel 30 is connected to the vents 31, and when the process coating chamber 10 needs to be cleaned, the shield 60 covers the vents 31.

[0009] Furthermore, the shielding plate 60 is a disc-shaped structure, and the lower surface of the disc-shaped structure has an annular limiting boss 61 protruding from the outer circle. The upper surface of the supporting plate 70 is provided with a plurality of limiting columns 71, and the outer diameter of the circle formed by the limiting columns 71 just matches the inner diameter of the annular limiting boss 61. The outer sides of the plurality of limiting columns 71 are in contact with the inner wall of the annular limiting boss 61, so that when the supporting plate 70 rotates, the shielding plate 60 and the supporting plate 70 are in a relatively static state.

[0010] In some embodiments, the rotating mechanism 41 includes a magnetic fluid 42 and a rotating shaft 44, a connecting rod 46 and a cylinder 48 which are sleeved inside the magnetic fluid 42. One end of the rotating shaft 44 is locked to the support plate 70 through a support plate mounting column 90, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 46 through a first connecting rod shaft clamp 45. The other end of the connecting rod 46 is connected to the cylinder shaft 49 of the cylinder 48 through a second connecting rod shaft clamp 47. The body of the magnetic fluid 42 is locked to the bottom of the outer shell of the process coating chamber 10, and the rotating shaft 44 of the magnetic fluid 42 is driven by the cylinder 48 to rotate, which drives the support plate 70 to rotate.

[0011] Furthermore, a photoelectric switch mounting bracket 52 is locked to the lower part of the body of the cylinder 48, and a photoelectric switch 53 is provided at both ends of the photoelectric switch mounting bracket 52. The two photoelectric switches 53 are arranged on the outer ring of the cylinder shaft 49, and a limit block 51 is provided on one side of the cylinder shaft 49. When the limit block 51 rotates into the groove of one of the photoelectric switches 53, the photoelectric switch 53 receives the signal and transmits the signal to the cylinder 48 controller to stop the rotation of the cylinder shaft 49. The photoelectric switch 53 plays a role in precise positioning.

[0012] Furthermore, one of the photoelectric switches 53 is set at a position where the cylinder 48 can rotate with the baffle 60 to the transition chamber 20, and the other photoelectric switch 53 is set at a position where the cylinder 48 can rotate with the baffle 60 to the upper part of the working gas input channel 30.

[0013] Furthermore, a first water cooling mechanism 43 is provided on the body of the magnetic fluid 42. Since the processing technology of the process coating chamber 10 requires heating, in order to prevent the magnetic fluid 42 from being damaged by heat, the body of the magnetic fluid 42 needs to be cooled.

[0014] Furthermore, a second water cooling mechanism 80 is provided on the upper part of the cylinder 48. Since the processing technology of the process coating cavity 10 requires heating, the cylinder 48 is relatively close to the bottom of the process coating cavity 10. In order to avoid damage to the cylinder 48 caused by heat, it is necessary to isolate the cylinder 48 from the bottom of the process coating cavity 10 by water cooling.

The shield plate 60 is clamped with the support plate 70. The lower part of one side of the support plate 70 is provided with a rotating mechanism 41. The support plate 70 is rotated by the rotating mechanism 41, so that the support plate 70 carries the shield plate 60. The support plate 70 is a special-shaped structure. The support plate 70 includes a main bearing plate 72 and a first supporting claw 73 and a second supporting claw 74 extending outward. The first supporting claw 73 and the second supporting claw 74 are integrally formed with the main bearing plate 72. The first supporting claw 73 and the second supporting claw 74 are integrally formed with the main bearing plate 72. A relief is provided at the connection between the second supporting claw 74 and the main bearing plate 72. The lifting mechanism 100 includes a lifting device 101 and a lifting ring 102. The lifting device 101 is connected to the lower part of the lifting ring 102. The lifting ring 102 is located at the lower part of the supporting plate 70 and has a plurality of lifting claws 103 arranged at intervals on the lifting ring 102. The lifting claws 103 can pass through the relief and perform lifting and lowering movements. When the process coating chamber 10 needs to be cleaned, the rotating mechanism 41 rotates the shielding plate 60 to the upper part of the working gas input channel 30 to shield the working gas from the gas inlet channel 30. The working gas input channel 30 is used to prevent the target material or gas material from falling into the working gas input channel 30 during the cleaning process, causing contamination of the working gas input channel 30. When the process coating is carried out, the rotating mechanism 41 rotates the shield 60 to the transition chamber 20 to prevent the shield 60 from affecting the input of the working gas into the working gas input channel 30, causing uneven sputtering coating. When the shield 60 needs to be replaced, the shield 60 is lifted up by the lifting claw 103 of the lifting device 101 and the wafer is output, or the inlet and outlet of the shield 60 are automatically replaced.

[0029] A position detection mechanism 21 is provided at the transition chamber 20. When the rotating mechanism 41 rotates the baffle 60 to the transition chamber 20, the position detection mechanism 21 detects the baffle 60, which is used to give the process coating chamber 10 a signal that can start the coating process. The area of ​​the baffle 60 is larger than the diameter of the working gas input channel 30, and is used to completely block the working gas input channel 30.

[0030] like Fig. 9As shown, the top of the working gas input channel 30 is connected to the wafer carrier plate, and a plurality of vents 31 are provided on the wafer carrier plate. The working gas input channel 30 is connected to the vents 31. When the process coating chamber 10 needs to be cleaned, the shield 60 covers the vents 31.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the shielding plate 60 is a disc-shaped structure, and the lower surface of the disc-shaped structure has an annular limiting boss 61 protruding from the outer circle. The upper surface of the supporting plate 70 is provided with a plurality of limiting columns 71, and the outer diameter of the circle formed by the limiting columns 71 just matches the inner diameter of the annular limiting boss 61. The outer sides of the plurality of limiting columns 71 are in contact with the inner wall of the annular limiting boss 61, so that when the supporting plate 70 rotates, the shielding plate 60 and the supporting plate 70 are in a relatively static state.

[0032] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the rotating mechanism 41 includes a magnetic fluid 42 and a rotating shaft 44, a connecting rod 46 and a cylinder 48 which are sleeved inside the magnetic fluid 42. One end of the rotating shaft 44 is locked to the supporting plate 70 through the supporting plate mounting column 90, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 46 through the first connecting rod shaft clamp 45. The other end of the connecting rod 46 is connected to the cylinder shaft 49 of the cylinder 48 through the second connecting rod shaft clamp 47. The body of the magnetic fluid 42 is locked to the bottom of the outer shell of the process coating chamber 10, and the rotating shaft 44 of the magnetic fluid 42 is driven by the cylinder 48 to rotate, thereby driving the supporting plate 70 to rotate.

[0033] A first water cooling mechanism 43 is provided on the body of the magnetic fluid 42. Since the processing technology of the process coating cavity 10 requires heating, in order to avoid damage to the magnetic fluid 42 caused by heat, the body of the magnetic fluid 42 needs to be cooled. A second water cooling mechanism 80 is provided on the upper part of the cylinder 48. Since the processing technology of the process coating cavity 10 requires heating, the cylinder 48 is relatively close to the bottom of the process coating cavity 10. In order to avoid damage to the cylinder 48 caused by heat, the cylinder 48 needs to be water-cooled and isolated from the bottom of the process coating cavity 10.

[0034] like Figure 5As shown, the lower part of the body of the cylinder 48 is locked with a photoelectric switch mounting bracket 52, and a photoelectric switch 53 is provided at both ends of the photoelectric switch mounting bracket 52. The two photoelectric switches 53 are arranged on the outer ring of the cylinder shaft 49, and a limit block 51 is provided on one side of the cylinder shaft 49. When the limit block 51 rotates into the groove of one of the photoelectric switches 53, the photoelectric switch 53 receives the signal and transmits the signal to the cylinder 48 controller to stop the rotation of the cylinder shaft 49. The photoelectric switch 53 plays a role in precise positioning. The position where one of the photoelectric switches 53 is set is the position where the cylinder 48 can rotate with the baffle 60 to the transition cavity 20, and the position where the other photoelectric switch 53 is set is the position where the cylinder 48 can rotate with the baffle 60 to the upper part of the working gas input channel 30.

When the process coating is carried out, the rotating mechanism 41 rotates the shield 60 to the transition chamber 20 to prevent the shield 60 from affecting the input of the working gas into the working gas input channel 30, causing uneven sputtering coating. When the shield 60 needs to be replaced, the shield 60 is lifted up by the lifting claw 103 of the lifting device 101 to output the wafer or the inlet and outlet of the shield 60 are automatically replaced.

[0036] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
