Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of target material preparation and relates to a binding method of an aluminum-scandium alloy target material. BACKGROUND

[0002] The AlSc alloy target material is mainly used for magnetron sputtering of an AlScN film, and has more excellent piezoelectric properties than existing piezoelectric films such as AlN, ZnO and lead zirconate titanate (PZT), and is a core material of devices such as high-frequency mobile communication radio frequency filters and MEMS micro advanced sensors. Meanwhile, the piezoelectric properties and quality factor of the AlScN film prepared from the target material with increased scandium content are improved. However, the melting point of Al is 660 DEG C, and the melting point of Sc is 1541 DEG C, and the melting point difference between the two is large, and the solid solubility of Sc in Al is low. With the increase of scandium content in the aluminum-scandium alloy, hard and brittle intermediate compound phases (such as Al3Sc, Al2Sc, AlSc and AlSc2) are formed, which leads to the characteristics of easy brittle cracking and poor heat dissipation of the aluminum-scandium alloy with high scandium content (Sc content ≥ 20 at%). In addition, the linear expansion coefficient of the aluminum-scandium alloy and the backing plate material is large, so it is difficult to bind the aluminum-scandium alloy target material with high scandium content and the metal backing plate.

[0003] Chinese patent application "Method for forming and welding integrated preparation of aluminum-scandium alloy target material" (application number: CN202210513870.3) discloses a diffusion welding method of an aluminum-scandium alloy target material and an aluminum alloy backing plate and an aluminum-scandium alloy target material assembly prepared by the method. The welding method comprises: sequentially performing ultrasonic cleaning and pickling on the target material and the backing plate, placing the pickled aluminum-scandium alloy target material and aluminum alloy backing plate in an aluminum alloy sheath for sealing, then heating and softening the obtained aluminum alloy sheath, rolling and heat treating, and finally machining to obtain the desired target material assembly. However, the scandium content in the aluminum-scandium target material described in the patent is ≤ 20 at%. Diffusion welding has advantages such as welding rate and welding strength, but the welding process is complex, the surface of the target material and the backing plate needs to be treated in multiple ways, which is not conducive to industrialized production, and the metal sheath used is a disposable consumable, the backing plate after welding cannot be reused, and the production cost is high.

[0004] Chinese patent application "A welding method of aluminum-scandium target material and aluminum alloy back plate" (application number: CN202210238571.3) discloses a method of welding aluminum alloy back plate by electron beam welding of aluminum-scandium alloy target material. The patent adopts electron beam welding with ≥3 passes, a welding line speed of 10-15 mm / s, and a beam current of 20-60 mA for electron beam welding. However, the scandium content in the aluminum-scandium target material described in the patent is ≤20 at%. Electron beam welding is convenient for automatic production, and the welding process and quality are more stable. However, the target material electron beam welding method is greatly affected by the equipment, the equipment cost is high, the welding cavity space is limited, the electron beam is easily disturbed, the production environment requirements are relatively high, and the back plate after welding cannot be reused. If the welding defect is large, the product after welding is difficult to repair through secondary processing.

[0005] The brazing process of the target material is simpler than the above two welding methods, and the requirements for equipment are also relatively low, which has certain advantages in terms of production cost. Since the brazing temperature is relatively low, the deformation and residual stress of the brazed material are small, so the brazed back plate can be reused multiple times to reduce costs. The brazing method can adapt to the requirements of various product sizes, as long as the heating platform is adjusted to meet the requirements of large-size products, and the rework processing of defective products in production is simple. The traditional brazing method uses pure indium solder binding. The advantages of pure indium solder are good wettability and small solder hardness, and it is not easy to cause debonding during shaping and processing after welding. However, due to the low melting point of pure indium solder, the sputtering temperature may approach or be higher than the melting point of pure indium solder during sputtering of large-power or large-size targets, causing the solder to soften or even melt again, resulting in target debonding. At the same time, as the scandium content in the aluminum-scandium alloy target material increases, the wettability of pure indium solder on the surface of the aluminum-scandium alloy target material gradually deteriorates, resulting in a significant decrease in the welding bonding rate of high scandium content (Sc content ≥20 at%) targets.

[0006] The present application improves the brazing method by improving the composition of the brazing material, surface treatment of the aluminum-scandium alloy target material, and innovative binding process, and develops a brazing binding method for high scandium content aluminum-scandium alloy target material, which has important practical significance. SUMMARY

[0007] The present application provides a binding method for high scandium content (Sc content of 20-50 at%) aluminum-scandium alloy target material, and the welding bonding rate of the target material and the back plate after binding is ≥95 % and the welding bonding strength is ≥12 MPa.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned application purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0009] The present application provides a brazing method for aluminum-scandium alloy target material, which comprises the following steps:

[0010] (1) First, a pure nickel film is plated on the welding surface of the aluminum scandium alloy target material.

[0011] (2) The plated aluminum scandium alloy target material and the back plate are heated, and then the filler metal is placed on the welding surface of the aluminum scandium alloy target material and the back plate.

[0012] (3) After the filler metal is melted, the welding surface is subjected to ultrasonic immersion, and after the immersion is completed, the aluminum scandium alloy target material and the back plate are buckled together to form a target material assembly, then pressure is continuously applied to the surface of the target material assembly, then heating is stopped and cooling to room temperature is performed, and finally the welded target material assembly is obtained.

[0013] In the present application, since the scandium content of the aluminum scandium alloy target material is ≥20 at%, preferably 20-50 at%, the brazing performance is poor, and surface treatment is required to improve the brazing performance. Plating nickel on the welding surface of the target material not only improves the wettability between the target material and the filler metal, but also further improves the welding bonding rate, and also reduces the internal stress generated due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the target material and the back plate during heating and cooling. Through effective matching of the plating solution formula and the plating process, a low-stress nickel plating layer can be formed on the surface of the aluminum scandium alloy target material, and the effective adhesion of the nickel plating layer on the surface of the aluminum scandium alloy target material is ensured. At the same time, in the present application, the welding surface of the target material and the back plate is heated, and then ultrasonic immersion is introduced. The application of ultrasonic waves can remove bubbles and oxide films between the filler metal and the welding surface, thereby increasing the wettability of the filler metal and helping to improve the welding bonding rate. The welding bonding rate is a very important performance parameter of the target material assembly. High welding bonding rate can increase the contact area, thereby improving the welding strength and increasing the heat conduction efficiency between the target material and the back plate, thereby avoiding heat accumulation in the target material.

[0014] The filler metal composition of the present application is based on In as the main element, and trace alloying elements such as Ga, Sn, Bi, Al are added. The addition of Ga element can improve the wettability and flowability of the filler metal, and also improve the corrosion resistance of the filler metal; the addition of Sn element can improve the strength of the filler metal and adjust the melting point of the filler metal; the addition of Bi element can reduce the surface tension of the filler metal melt and improve its oxidation resistance; the addition of Al element can improve the strength of the filler metal, improve its oxidation resistance, and adjust the melting point of the filler metal.

[0015] The following is a preferred technical solution of the present application, but is not a limitation of the technical solution provided by the present application. Through the following technical solution, the technical purpose and beneficial effects of the present application can be better achieved and realized.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the aluminum scandium alloy target material is subjected to surface polishing treatment before plating nickel in step (1); and the back plate is subjected to surface polishing treatment before heating in step (2). The purpose is to ensure that the surface of the aluminum scandium alloy target material and the back plate is clean and smooth, and to avoid affecting the brazing quality due to surface stains or unevenness.

[0017] Preferably, the surface roughness Ra of the scandium alloy target and the back plate after the polishing treatment is 0.3-1.0 μm.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the plating method in step (1) is brush plating of nickel, which has the advantages of easy operation, adaptability to different shapes of plated parts, possibility of electroplating at specific positions, high deposition rate, simple equipment, etc. compared with other electroplating technologies.

[0019] Preferably, the electroplating solution in step (1) is a nickel sulfamate-based solution, which has the advantages of low internal stress, high plating rate and high current efficiency.

[0020] Preferably, the electroplating solution in step (1) contains nickel sulfamate: 340-360 g / L, nickel chloride: 8-10 g / L, and boric acid: 40-50 g / L.

[0021] Preferably, the pH value of the electroplating solution is 3.8-4.4, the temperature during electroplating is 15-30 ℃, the voltage is 10-13 V, and the moving speed of the plating pen is 1-5 cm / s.

[0022] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the thickness of the pure nickel film in step (1) is 4-10 μm.

[0023] The thickness of the pure nickel film should be kept within a certain range, because if the film thickness is too thin, the filler metal can easily penetrate the pore defects in the pure nickel layer, resulting in perforation or even rupture of the film and reducing the welding bonding rate. If the film thickness is too thick, the internal stress of the film will increase, the adhesion of the film to the target substrate will decrease, and the film may fall off or crack during welding, resulting in joint quality problems, and the cost of nickel plating will also increase.

[0024] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the aluminum scandium alloy target and the back plate in step (2) are placed on a welding platform for heating, and the welding surfaces of both are upward, and the material of the back plate can be pure copper, copper alloy or aluminum alloy.

[0025] Preferably, the aluminum scandium alloy target and the back plate in step (2) are heated to a brazing temperature of 200-250 ℃.

[0026] Preferably, the aluminum scandium alloy target and the back plate in step (2) are placed with filler metal after reaching the brazing temperature.

[0027] In the present application, the brazing temperature is appropriately higher than the melting point of the filler metal. A high brazing temperature helps to improve the flowability and wettability of the filler metal; however, an excessively high brazing temperature can cause oxidation of the filler metal, reduce the flowability and wettability of the filler metal, and also possibly cause changes in the properties of the target, thereby reducing the overall quality of the target assembly.

[0028] Preferably, the brazing filler metal used in step (2) is mainly composed of In, and Sn, Ga, Bi, Al and other elements are added.

[0029] Preferably, the content of Ga in the brazing filler metal is 8.0-9.5 wt%, the content of Sn is 5.0-7.0 wt%, the content of Bi is 1.5-3.0 wt%, the content of Al is 0.5-1.0 wt%, and the balance is In.

[0030] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, after the brazing filler metal is melted in step (3), the brazing filler metal on the welding surface is first scraped and coated uniformly, and then ultrasonic immersion is performed.

[0031] Preferably, the power of the ultrasonic wave used in the ultrasonic immersion of step (3) is 500-800 W.

[0032] Preferably, the frequency of the ultrasonic wave used in the ultrasonic immersion of step (3) is 20-30 kHz.

[0033] Preferably, the moving speed of the ultrasonic vibration head used in the ultrasonic immersion of step (3) is 0.5-1 cm / s.

[0034] Preferably, the ultrasonic immersion time of step (3) should be controlled within 8-20 min.

[0035] Preferably, after the ultrasonic immersion of step (3), the excess brazing filler metal on the side of the welding surface should be removed.

[0036] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the way of applying pressure in step (3) is to place a counterweight on the surface of the target assembly that has been buckled.

[0037] Preferably, the pressure generated by the counterweight in step (3) is 1300-4500 Pa.

[0038] Preferably, step (3) is characterized in that the counterweight is maintained during the cooling process until the temperature cools to room temperature.

[0039] The role of the counterweight in the present application is to generate good contact between the target and the back plate by applying pressure, which helps to improve the bonding strength of the target and the substrate. The weight of the counterweight is related to the surface area of the welding surface of the target and the back plate. If the pressure generated by the counterweight is too small, the bonding between the target and the back plate will be weak, and the welding bonding strength will be insufficient. If the pressure generated by the counterweight is too large, the brazing filler metal between the target and the back plate will be too thin, resulting in weak bonding and insufficient welding bonding strength.

[0040] As a preferred technical scheme of the present application, the cooling rate in step (3) has certain requirements.

[0041] Preferably, the cooling rate in step (3) is 5-15 ℃ / min.

[0042] The present application has the following advantages:

[0043] (1) By introducing a nickel plating layer, the wettability between the brazing filler metal and the target material is improved, thereby improving the welding bonding rate, and also reducing the internal stress caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficient of the target assembly. Meanwhile, the nickel plating process of the present application can ensure the effective adhesion of the nickel plating layer on the surface of the aluminum-scandium alloy target material. In combination with the ultrasonic wetting effect, the welding bonding rate of the target assembly is further improved, the weldability of the high-scandium content aluminum-scandium alloy is increased, and finally the welding bonding rate of the target assembly is ≥95%.

[0044] (2) By designing the brazing filler metal, on the one hand, the wettability, flowability and oxidation resistance of the brazing filler metal are improved, and on the other hand, the melting point and mechanical properties of the brazing filler metal are adjusted, thereby ensuring that the welding bonding strength of the target assembly is ≥12 MPa, and the target detachment phenomenon at high working temperature can be avoided, which is suitable for sputtering of large-power and large-size target materials.

[0045] (3) The brazing method of the present application has the advantages of simple operation, good welding quality, high efficiency, good process stability and low production cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
