DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the relevant drawings. Several embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

[0017] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed", "provided with", etc. should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be internal communication between two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0018] It should be noted that the structures not introduced in the present invention all adopt the existing technology because they do not involve the design points and improvement directions of the present invention.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a three-sided target structure capable of both revolution and rotation, comprising a rotating motor 1, the output end of which is transmission-connected to a magnetic fluid inner shaft 2, the end of which is connected to a rotating extension sleeve 3, and the rotating extension sleeve 3 extends into a rotating target housing 4; A self-rotating gear set 5 is provided on the self-rotating extension sleeve 3 extending into the rotating target housing 4, and the self-rotating gear set 5 includes a bevel gear 1 51 arranged at the end of the self-rotating extension sleeve 3, and three sets of bevel gears 2 52 are engaged and connected to the bevel gear 1 51. The bevel gear 2 52 is connected to the target material 7 through the corresponding self-rotating rotating target magnetic fluid 6 to realize the self-rotation of the target material 7; The revolving motor 8 is arranged at one end of the rotating motor 1. The revolving motor 8 is connected to a magnetic fluid intermediate shaft 10 wrapped around the outside of the magnetic fluid inner shaft 2 through a belt assembly 9. The magnetic fluid intermediate shaft 10 is connected to a revolving extension sleeve 11 arranged outside the rotating extension sleeve 3. The revolving extension sleeve 11 is connected to the rotating target shell 4 to realize the revolution of the target material 7.

[0020] When the three-sided target structure revolution motor 8 provided by the present invention rotates, the magnetic fluid intermediate shaft 10 is driven to rotate through the synchronous belt, and the magnetic fluid intermediate shaft 10 is connected to the rotating target shell 4. Since the target material 7 is installed on the rotating target shell 4, the magnetic fluid intermediate shaft 10 drives the rotating target shell 4 to rotate to produce a revolution motion; when the self-rotating motor 1 rotates, it is connected through a coupling to drive the magnetic fluid inner shaft 2 to rotate, and all the target materials 7 are controlled by the self-rotating gear set 5 to rotate. When the magnetic fluid inner shaft 2 rotates, all the target materials 7 start to rotate. During vacuum coating, since the ion source is bombarding the target surface, the target continuously rotates, so that the high-energy particle beam generated by the ion source can bombard the target surface more evenly, thereby improving the utilization rate of the target.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the self-rotating gear set 5 also includes an installation shaft 12 arranged in the rotating target housing 4, and a bevel gear three 53 is provided on the installation shaft 12. The bevel gear three 53 cooperates with the bevel gear one 51 to be meshed and connected with three sets of bevel gear twos 52. The purpose of this setting is to improve the structural stability of the self-rotating gear set 5 and ensure that the vertical self-rotating transmission force is transmitted to the horizontal self-rotating target magnetic fluid 6.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, a magnetic fluid 13 is disposed outside the magnetic fluid intermediate shaft 10 .

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the belt assembly 9 includes a synchronous wheel 91 connected to the output end of the revolving motor 8, the synchronous wheel 91 is connected to the synchronous wheel 93 through a belt 92, the synchronous wheel 93 is connected to the magnetic fluid intermediate shaft 10, and the revolving motor 8 drives the magnetic fluid intermediate shaft 10 to rotate through the belt assembly 9, and finally drives the rotating target shell 4 to revolve.

[0024] This embodiment further includes a motor plate 14 for supporting the revolution motor 8 and the rotation motor 1 .

[0025] This embodiment further includes a mounting base plate 15 for supporting the magnetic fluid 13 .

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the revolution extension sleeve 11 and the magnetic fluid intermediate shaft 10 are installed via fasteners.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, a self-rotating target passing end plate 16 is provided at the end of the self-rotating target magnetic fluid 6, and the self-rotating target passing end plate is connected to the target material.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the target material 7 includes a target back plate, a water-cooled target back plate and a silicon target in sequence from the inside to the outside.

[0029] When the rotating motor 1 drives the magnetic fluid inner shaft 2 to rotate and the magnetic fluid intermediate shaft 10 is stationary, the rotating target rotates around the center of the target material 7; when the revolving motor 8 drives the magnetic fluid intermediate shaft 10 to rotate and the magnetic fluid inner shaft 2 is stationary, the rotating target is switched. At this time, the rotating target revolves and rotates in the opposite direction. When the two sets of motors drive the magnetic fluid inner shaft 2 to rotate and the magnetic fluid intermediate shaft 10 rotates at the same time at a certain speed ratio, it can be achieved that the rotating target revolves around the center axis while the target material 7 does not rotate.

[0030] The above-described embodiments only express a certain implementation mode of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications 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 based on the attached claims.
