[0047] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0048] Combined Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a plasma generating device, including a framework 1, a dielectric plate 5, a coil fixing plate 6, and a flange 7. Among them, the framework 1 includes an adjacent plasma chamber 2 and a coil chamber 3. The plasma chamber 2 is used to accommodate and plasmaize the gas to be processed, and the coil chamber 3 is used to accommodate the coil assembly. The dielectric plate 5 is arranged on the framework 1 and located between the plasma chamber 2 and the coil chamber 3, and is used to separate the plasma chamber 2 and the coil chamber 3. The coil fixing plate 6 is arranged in the coil chamber 3 and is spaced apart from the dielectric plate 5 relatively. The coil assembly of the present application is installed on the side of the coil fixing plate 6 facing the dielectric plate 5. The flange 7 is arranged at one end of the framework 1 close to the coil assembly and is used to seal the coil chamber 3.

[0049] That is to say, the coil chamber 3 of the present application refers to the space between the dielectric plate 5 and the flange 7. This space is subjected to vacuum treatment and sealed by the dielectric plate 5 and the flange 7. Therefore, the gas to be processed will not flow through the coil chamber 3 but will be ionized in the plasma chamber 2. In this way, the vacuum environment can improve the service life of various devices in the coil chamber, especially the coil assembly. In this regard, the plasma generating device of the present application further includes a vacuum pumping system 8 and a vacuum gauge 9. Among them, the vacuum pumping system 8 is arranged outside the coil chamber 3, preferably on the skeleton 1 or the flange 7, and is used to independently evacuate the coil chamber 3 through a vacuum pumping port formed on the side wall of the coil chamber 3. The vacuum gauge 9 is arranged outside the coil chamber 3, preferably on the skeleton 1 or the flange 7 and adjacent to the vacuum pumping system 8, and is used to detect the vacuum state in the coil chamber 3.

[0050] In an embodiment of the application, in combination with Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the plasma generating device of the present application further includes a gas distribution plate 10, an intake pipeline 11, and a grid assembly 14. Among them, the gas distribution plate 10 is arranged at the end of the skeleton 1 and is adjacent to the dielectric plate 5. Specifically, the gas distribution plate 10 is of a frame structure, and a plurality of intake ports 13 are distributed along the inner wall of the frame structure, so that the gas to be processed enters the plasma chamber 2 through the plurality of intake ports 13 and flows through the surface of the dielectric plate 5. The intake pipeline 11 of the present application includes a branch pipeline 12 arranged along the side wall of the plasma chamber 2. The branch pipeline 12 is communicated with the plurality of intake ports 13 of the gas distribution plate 10, so that after the gas to be processed passes through the intake pipeline 11 and the gas distribution plate 10, it uniformly enters the plasma chamber 2 from the side of the plasma chamber 2 and moves in the direction of the grid assembly 14 after being ionized, so as to output plasma gas. The grid assembly 14 of the present application is arranged on the side of the gas distribution plate 10 away from the dielectric plate 5, that is, the plasma chamber 2 of the present application refers to the space formed between the grid assembly 14 and the dielectric plate 5, surrounded by the gas distribution plate 10 and the skeleton 1. The grid assembly 14 includes a screen grid, an accelerating grid, and a decelerating grid. The screen grid, the accelerating grid, and the decelerating grid are sequentially connected to the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the ground of the grid assembly 14.

[0051] Specifically, by arranging the gas distribution plate 10 at the end face of the ion chamber framework 1, it is beneficial to the disassembly, cleaning, maintenance and modular upgrade of the gas distribution plate 10. The intake pipeline 11 includes a branch pipeline 12 arranged along the side wall of the plasma chamber 2, and the branch pipeline 12 communicates with a plurality of intake ports 13 of the gas distribution plate 10. The intake ports 13 are used to convey the gas to be processed into the plasma chamber 2. After the gas to be processed is ionized into plasma, it leaves the plasma chamber 2 via the grid assembly 14. That is, by arranging the intake pipeline 11 beside the plasma generating device and separately arranging the gas distribution plate 10 for the gas to be processed to enter, the gas to be processed enters the gas distribution plate 10 from the intake pipeline 11 and then enters the plasma chamber 2. The multi-layer functions of the grid assembly 14 are equivalent to the usage of the grid of the radio frequency ion source and can play a role in controlling the ion beam. The potential of the screen grid is a positive bias voltage, which has the function of electrostatic shielding, preventing capacitance coupling between grids and accelerating ionization. The function of the acceleration grid is to focus ions with a negative bias voltage and perform forward acceleration. The function of the deceleration grid is to provide a ground potential protection. The accelerated ions decelerate after passing through the acceleration grid and exit from the grid with an ion energy approximately equal to the beam voltage.

[0052] In this way, the plasma generating device of the present application, with the grid assembly 14, already meets the usage requirements of most plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition equipment. At the same time, by adding an external magnetic field in cooperation with the grid assembly 14, the movement speed of the plasma (charged particles) can be controlled. Thus, the substrate temperature with different requirements can be controlled, avoiding uniformity differences or high-temperature substrate damage caused by different temperature requirements. In addition, based on the structure of the radio frequency coil 41 with a specific arrangement in the present application, the flow field generated by the plasma via the gas distribution plate 10 is also relatively uniform. Further, by integrating the constraint effect of the magnetic confinement assembly 17, a uniform and effective plasma region can be obtained. At the same time, by configuring the connection mode between the intake pipeline 11 and the gas distribution plate 10, it is possible to achieve intake from the side of the plasma chamber 2, and through the combined use of the gas distribution plate 10 and the grid assembly 14, the uniformity of gas plasma generation is jointly improved.

[0053] In an embodiment of the application, in combination with Figures 1 to 6As shown, the plasma generating device of the present application further includes a matcher 15, an adjustable capacitor module 16, a magnetic confinement component 17, and a cooling component 18. Among them, the matcher 15 can be arranged on the skeleton 1 or the flange 7 for matching the RF power supply and coupling the coil assembly. The adjustable capacitor module 16 is connected to the matcher 15 for adjusting the capacitance of the matcher 15. The magnetic confinement component 17 of the present application is arranged around the skeleton 1 for controlling the movement path of the plasma after the plasma generation of the gas to be processed by forming a magnetic field. The cooling component 18 of the present application is respectively arranged along the coil, the matcher 15, and / or the flange 7 of the plasma generating device for cooling the coil, the matcher 15, and / or the flange 7. Preferably, the cooling component 18 can be a cooling water circulation pipeline, and the inlet and outlet of the cooling water are arranged on the matcher 15, the coil, and the flange 7. As an embodiment, as Figure 3 , 6 shown, the cooling component 18 is arranged on the flange 7.

[0054] Meanwhile, in combination with Figures 7 to 9 shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a coil assembly. The coil includes at least one conjugate coil unit 4 for providing an excitation magnetic field under the drive of an RF power supply to ionize the gas to be processed into plasma. Among them, each conjugate coil unit 4 is composed of two RF coils 41 connected in parallel. The two RF coils 41 are symmetrically arranged and wound in opposite directions so that the current directions flowing through the two RF coils 41 are the same. Specifically, a common coil section 42 is arranged between the two RF coils 41. The two RF coils 41 respectively start from both ends of the common coil section 42 and are spirally wound in opposite directions in a relative manner. For example, one end of one of the two RF coils 41 is connected to one end of the common coil section 42, and the other end is spirally wound in a clockwise direction. One end of the other RF coil 41 among the two RF coils 41 is connected to the other end of the common coil section 42, and the other end is spirally wound in a counterclockwise direction. After the two RF coils 41 are wound, they are both located on the same side of the common coil section 42, thereby forming a conjugate coil unit 4.

[0055] In the related art, the mosquito coil structure of a conventional coil is generally made of a square tube, and the size is often small, which cannot be adapted to large-size coating equipment for mass production. If the size of the coil is increased by increasing the number of turns or the pitch of the coil, the impedance of the coil will increase, making it difficult to meet the plasma ignition requirements or requiring a new matcher to be reconfigured.

[0056] In this regard, the plasma generating device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is adopted. By providing at least one conjugate coil unit 4, and each conjugate coil unit 4 is composed of two radio frequency coils 41 connected in parallel. The two radio frequency coils 41 are symmetrically arranged and wound in opposite directions, so that the current directions flowing through the two radio frequency coils 41 are the same. In this way, it can meet the requirements of a large-sized plasma generating device. That is, when it is necessary to increase the size of the plasma generating device, the number of conjugate coil units 4 can be increased, so that without changing the number of turns or the pitch of the radio frequency coil 41 itself, the overall size of the coil is increased, thereby increasing the energy radiation area of the charged particles generated and released by the radio frequency coil 41. At the same time, at least one conjugate coil unit 4 can meet the starting requirements and has a lower cost compared to manufacturing a large-sized coil. For example, if one radio frequency coil 41 can use 5000W, two radio frequency coils 41 connected in parallel can also use 5000W, so that the starting requirements for double the size area can be met.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, the conjugate coil unit 4 of the present application further includes a power supply feeding end 43 and a grounding end 44. Among them, the power supply feeding end 43 is arranged at the common coil section 42 or the end of the radio frequency coil 41 located at the winding center 45 after spiral winding. The winding center 45 refers to the central position of the spiral structure of the radio frequency coil 41. Correspondingly, as shown in Figure 9 When the power supply feeding end 43 is arranged at the common coil section 42, the grounding end 44 is arranged at the end of the radio frequency coil 41 located at the winding center 45 after spiral winding. And, as shown in Figure 8 When the power supply feeding end 43 is arranged at the end of the radio frequency coil 41 located at the winding center 45 after spiral winding, the grounding end 44 is arranged at the common coil section 42. That is to say, the present application does not specifically limit the specific positions of the power supply feeding end 43 and the grounding end 44, but only limits the relative positions of the two, so that those skilled in the art can set them as needed.

[0058] In a practical application, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 When there are multiple (for example, two or more) conjugate coil units 4, the multiple conjugate coil units 4 are arranged in an array manner. The array manner includes a linear arrangement or a pairwise symmetric arrangement, etc. The power supply feeding ends 43 of the multiple conjugate coil units 4 are connected in parallel or in series, and the grounding ends 44 of the multiple conjugate coil units 4 are connected in parallel or grounded separately. In this way, referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown by the current direction in [description], the current flows into each conjugate coil unit 4 through the power supply feed-in terminal 43, and the current directions in two adjacent coil segments of the RF coil 41 flowing through the conjugate coil unit 4 are the same. Here, it not only refers to the same current direction in the adjacent coil segments between the two RF coils 5 in a single conjugate coil unit 4, but also includes the same current direction in the coil segments of any adjacent RF coils in any two adjacent conjugate coil units 4. That is, after the arrangement and combination of multiple conjugate coil units 4, the same current direction can be achieved between any adjacent coil segments. This prevents the interference problem between coils caused by the opposite current directions between adjacent coil segments. In addition, the current directions in the common coil segments 42 are opposite. When in use, when one conjugate coil unit 4 can meet the starting requirements, multiple conjugate coil units 4 can also meet the starting requirements under the same power conditions.

[0059] Preferably, in combination with Figure 7 As shown, a protective coating is provided on the surface of each RF coil 41. The protective coating can effectively reduce the resistance of the RF coil 41, improve the conductivity, enhance the antioxidant and anti-corrosion properties, thereby improving the use efficiency of the RF coil 41, and further effectively increasing the ionization rate, and improving the conductivity and service life of the RF coil 41. For example, a coating of gold or silver material can be optionally provided on the surface of the RF coil 41. In addition, after the surface of the RF coil 41 is coated for protection, if it is exposed to a humid or corrosive environment, it is prone to oxidation and corrosion, and the conductivity decreases. Vacuum pumping can remove oxygen and water vapor in the air, reduce the oxidation reaction, and thus extend the service life of the RF coil 41.

[0060] In addition, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a coating device, including a plasma generating device or a coil assembly as described in this application.

Unless explicitly required, the individual components and functions are optional, and the order of operations can vary. Parts and features of some embodiments can be included in or replace parts and features of other embodiments. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the structures already described and shown in the drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of the present disclosure is only limited by the appended claims.
