Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of target technology, and more specifically to a method for promoting target bonding. Background Technology

[0002] Sputtering targets are experiencing rapid development due to their high utilization rate and ease of large-area coating. The outer layer of a spinning target structure is the target substrate material, while the inner layer is a stainless steel liner or a Ti back tube. During sputtering, argon ion bombardment of the target substrate material causes a rapid temperature rise in the target, potentially leading to cracking or melting. Therefore, cooling water is circulated within the stainless steel liner to dissipate heat. However, poor bonding between the liner and the target substrate material can still cause sputtering abnormalities.

[0003] Therefore, how to improve the bonding between the inner liner tube and the target matrix has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a target bonding promotion method, which effectively improves the bonding between the inner liner tube and the target substrate, and effectively improves the bonding rate of the target.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A method for promoting target bonding includes the following steps:

[0007] (1) Use stainless steel pipe as inner lining pipe, clean the inner lining pipe, and sandblast the stainless steel pipe to form a sandblasted layer.

[0008] (2) The alloy wire is sprayed onto the sandblasted layer by electric arc spraying to form an alloy layer;

[0009] (3) Plasma treatment of stainless steel pipes;

[0010] (4) Heat the stainless steel pipe, apply the solder to the alloy layer to form an alloy solder layer, and then ultrasonically treat it.

[0011] This invention uses a stainless steel pipe as the inner lining tube. The stainless steel pipe is sandblasted to effectively increase the surface roughness and adhesion. Then, an alloy layer is formed by arc spraying, which can effectively increase the bonding force. Plasma treatment can effectively activate the alloy layer and reduce its surface tension. Finally, by applying solder and ultrasonic treatment, the surface tension of the coating can be reduced and the wettability of the solder to the stainless steel pipe can be increased. This invention creatively forms a sandblasted layer, an alloy layer and a solder layer on the stainless steel pipe, and then performs plasma treatment and ultrasonic treatment on it, which effectively improves the bonding between the inner lining tube and the target substrate, and effectively improves the bonding rate of the target.

[0012] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the spraying parameters of the arc spraying method, as long as it can form an alloy layer and achieve the required thickness.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the surface roughness of the stainless steel pipe after sandblasting is 5 to 15 μm.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the sandblasting layer is 0.1 to 0.3 mm, and the material of the sandblasting layer is steel shot.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the alloy wire is a Ni-based alloy wire, such as a nickel-aluminum alloy, wherein the nickel content in the nickel-aluminum alloy is 40-60%.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the alloy layer is 0.2 to 0.5 mm.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the flame temperature during plasma treatment is 180–220°C.

[0018] It should be noted that, in this invention, the plasma treatment can be performed using a conventional plasma flame generator.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heating temperature is 170–200°C.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the solder layer is 0.1 to 0.5 mm.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the solder is In or InSn.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the frequency of the ultrasonic treatment is 18-22 kHz and the ultrasonic time is 1-4 min.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention uses a stainless steel pipe as the inner lining pipe, and performs sandblasting on the stainless steel pipe to effectively increase the surface roughness and adhesion of the stainless steel pipe. Then, an alloy layer is formed by arc spraying, which can effectively increase the bonding force. Then, plasma treatment can effectively activate the alloy layer and reduce the surface tension of the alloy layer. Then, by applying solder and ultrasonic treatment, the surface tension of the coating can be reduced and the wettability of the solder and the stainless steel pipe can be increased. This invention creatively forms a sandblasting layer, an alloy layer and a solder layer on the stainless steel pipe, and performs plasma treatment and ultrasonic treatment on it, which effectively improves the bonding between the inner lining pipe and the target substrate, and effectively improves the bonding rate of the target.
