Detailed implementation manner

[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0019] In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0020] In this specification, the front and the front side of each component are viewed from the perspective of charged particles. Specifically, the side of the component facing the charged particles is the front or the front side, and the other side is the back or the back side.

[0021] Next, in conjunction with Figures 1 to 6 , the embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0022] The present invention provides a target cathode with a rotatable central magnetic field, including: a target 14, a first column magnet 10, a second column magnet 17 and a rotation driving device. The front of the target 14 is used to collide with charged particles for sputtering; a plurality of first column magnets 10 are provided, and the plurality of first column magnets 10 are sequentially arranged along a first circumference on the back side of the target 14. The first circumference is coaxial with the target 14, and the magnetic poles of all the first column magnets 10 on the side close to the target 14 are the same; one second column magnet 17 is provided, and the second column magnet 17 is arranged on the back side of the target 14; the second column magnet 17 is eccentrically arranged within the first circumference, and the magnetic pole of the second column magnet 17 on the side close to the target 14 is opposite to the magnetic pole of the first column magnet 10 on the side close to the target 14; the rotation driving device is used to drive the second column magnet 17 to rotate around the central axis of the first circumference.

[0023] In the center magnetic field rotatable target cathode provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the second column magnet 17 can be driven by a rotation driving device to rotate around the central axis of the first circumference. During the rotation of the second column magnet 17, due to the different distances between the second column magnet 17 and different first column magnets 10, magnetic fields with different ranges can be generated, and thus the regions of the target surface sputtering tracks formed are also different, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing the region of the target surface sputtering tracks and improving the utilization rate of the target 14.

[0024] In some embodiments, a cooling cavity 121 is constructed on the back side of the target 14. The cooling cavity 121 is communicated with a water inlet channel and a water outlet channel. Cooling water is used to circulate in the cooling cavity 121 to cool the target 14.

[0025] This embodiment can reduce the probability of damage to the target 14 due to high temperature and improve the stability of sputtering.

[0026] In some embodiments, the second column magnet 17 is arranged perpendicular to the target surface of the target 14, and the first column magnet 10 extends gradually in the direction approaching the central axis of the first circumference from one end far away from the target 14 to the other end.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first column magnet 10 is inclined towards the second column magnet 17, thereby optimizing the magnetic field distribution and improving the sputtering efficiency. In a more preferred embodiment, the inclination angle of the first column magnet 10 is 30 degrees, that is, the included angle between the axis of the first column magnet 10 and the axis of the second column magnet 17 is 30 degrees.

[0028] In some embodiments, the second column magnet 17 can be an elliptical column magnet or a cylindrical magnet. The purpose of setting it as an elliptical column magnet is to utilize the special shape of the elliptical magnet and the very high uniformity magnetic field on the surface. Its magnetic field strength and direction can be adjusted according to the major and minor axes of the ellipse and the polarization direction, which is used to control the movement trajectory of charged particles and can ensure that unnecessary offsets do not occur during the acceleration process of charged particles, thereby improving the acceleration efficiency and accuracy.

[0029] In some embodiments, the embodiments of the present invention further include a target seat connection fixing sleeve 8 and a magnetic rail seat 12. The magnetic rail seat 12 is disposed on the back surface of the target 14, and the front surface of the magnetic rail seat 12 is attached to the back surface of the target 14. The target seat connection fixing sleeve 8 is disposed on the back surface of the magnetic rail seat 12 and is connected to each other. A groove extending from the back surface toward the front surface is provided on the back surface of the magnetic rail seat 12. The first columnar magnet 10 is disposed inside the magnetic rail seat 12 and is sequentially arranged around the groove. The target seat connection fixing sleeve 8 seals the groove and forms a cooling cavity 121. The target seat connection fixing sleeve 8 is electrically connected to the magnetic rail seat 12. The target seat connection fixing sleeve 8 is used to connect to the negative pole of an external power supply. The second columnar magnet 17 is disposed in the cooling cavity 121. A shaft hole is provided in the middle of the target seat connection fixing sleeve 8. The rotating shaft 20 of the rotation driving device passes through the shaft hole. The free end of the rotating shaft 20 is fixedly connected to the second columnar magnet 17. The axis of the rotating shaft 20 is coaxial with the central axis of the first circumference.

[0030] This embodiment achieves the purpose of forming a cooling cavity 121 on the back surface of the target 14. In addition, during use, a negative voltage needs to be applied to the target 14. In the embodiments of the present invention, a voltage is applied to the target seat connection fixing sleeve 8 and transmitted to the target 14 through the magnetic rail seat 12. Specifically, a power connection threaded hole 84 is provided at the back end of the target seat connection fixing sleeve 8. The power connection threaded hole 84 is used to install the nose of the connecting wire.

[0031] In some examples, the water inlet channel and the water outlet channel are provided on the target seat connection fixing sleeve 8, that is, two channels are provided on the target seat connection fixing sleeve 8, which are used as the water inlet channel and the water outlet channel respectively. In order to better inlet and outlet water, a stainless steel pipe is welded to the port of the water inlet channel on the back surface of the target seat connection fixing sleeve 8 as the water inlet pipe 81, and a stainless steel pipe is welded to the port of the water outlet channel on the back surface of the target seat connection fixing sleeve 8 as the water outlet pipe 82. A stainless steel pipe is welded to the other port of the water outlet channel as the diversion pipe 83. The gap distance between the end face of the water outlet of the diversion pipe 83 and the back surface of the magnetic rail seat 12 is preferably 1 mm. In the use state, the cooling cavity 121 is set horizontally, that is, the target 14 is set horizontally. Cooling water enters the cooling cavity 121 from the water inlet pipe 81, then enters the water outlet pipe 82 from the diversion pipe 83 and flows out, so that the cooling water completely fills the cooling cavity 121, achieving the purpose of improving the cooling effect.

[0032] In some examples, as Figure 1 shown, the rotating shaft 20 is rotatably connected to the shaft hole through the first bearing 21 and the second bearing 23, and the axial movement of the second bearing 23 is restricted by the snap ring 24. A second cooling water pressure sealing O-ring 22 is provided between the outer wall of the rotating shaft 20 and the shaft hole to prevent the cooling cavity 121 from leaking water. The setting of the bearings makes the rotating shaft 20 concentric with the magnetic rail seat 12, and makes the rotating shaft 20 not swing and rotate stably, achieving the purpose of making the central magnetic field on the target surface rotate stably without excessive changes.

[0033] In some examples, a transfer shaft 25 is further included. The rotation driving device is a rotation motor 26. The transfer shaft 25 is directly connected to the rotation motor 26, and the transfer shaft 25 is coaxially connected to the rotation shaft 20. To prevent the rotation shaft 20 from conducting electricity to the rotation motor 26, the transfer shaft 25 can be set as an insulating shaft for insulation purposes.

[0034] In some embodiments, the second column magnet 17 is installed on the central rotating seat 19 inside the cooling cavity 121 and sealed with waterproof glue. The central rotating seat 19 and the rotation shaft 20 are fixedly connected by a positioning pin 18. The waterproof glue sealing is to prevent the second column magnet 17 from rusting and corroding when soaked in cooling water for a long time.

[0035] In some examples, a deep groove for fixing the second column magnet 17 is provided on the front surface of the central rotating seat 19, so that the second column magnet 17 is not easily dropped and can work stably.

[0036] In some embodiments, the present invention embodiment further includes a rear shim 9. The rear shim 9 is annular. The rear shim 9 is arranged on the back surface of the magnetic rail seat 12. A plurality of accommodating cavities are arranged on the back surface of the magnetic rail seat 12, and the plurality of accommodating cavities are arranged in sequence around the groove. One end of the first column magnet 10 extends into the accommodating cavity, and the other end is connected to the rear shim 9.

[0037] In this embodiment, the rear shim 9 converts the magnetic quantity of all the first column magnets 10 into a magnetic ring, thereby optimizing the magnetic field distribution, so that an annular shape can be formed on the front surface of the target 14.

[0038] In some embodiments, first cooling water pressure sealing O-rings 11 are provided between the rear shim 9 and the magnetic rail seat 12, and between the rear shim 9 and the target seat connection fixing sleeve 8.

[0039] In some examples, the rear shim 9 and the central rotating seat 19 are made of Q235 material with good magnetic conductivity and have a thickness of 5 mm.

[0040] In some embodiments, the present invention embodiment further includes an annular mounting flange 3. The mounting flange 3 is arranged on the back surface of the target seat connection fixing sleeve 8. An insulating pad 7 is clamped between the target seat connection fixing sleeve 8 and the mounting flange 3. The rotation shaft 20 passes through the mounting flange 3, the target seat connection fixing sleeve 8, and the rear shim 9.

[0041] This embodiment facilitates the connection of the cathode target to the coating equipment through the mounting flange 3. It can be understood that a plurality of through holes or threaded holes are provided on the mounting flange 3 for passing bolts.

[0042] In some embodiments, the embodiment of the present invention further includes a shielding cover 6. The front side end of the shielding cover 6 is open, and a circular extension plate is configured at the back side end. The magnetic rail base 12, the rear backing iron 9, and the target seat connection fixing sleeve 8 are all located inside the shielding cover 6. The extension plate is coaxially arranged with the mounting flange 3, the first circumference, and the target seat connection fixing sleeve 8. The extension plate is located between the mounting flange 3 and the insulating pad 7. The mounting flange 3, the extension plate, the insulating pad 7, and the target seat connection fixing sleeve 8 are all fixedly connected by the same set of mounting bolts 1. During installation, the screw rods of the mounting bolts 1 sequentially pass through the through holes in the mounting flange 3, the extension plate, and the insulating pad 7 and are then threadedly connected to the threaded holes on the back of the target seat connection fixing sleeve 8. An insulating sleeve 2 is sleeved outside the mounting bolt 1. The use of the insulating sleeve 2 and the insulating pad 7 can prevent experimenters from touching the mounting bolt 1 or being electrocuted by the mounting flange 3 when the target is working, achieving the purpose of protecting the safety of experimenters.

[0043] The shielding cover 6 in this embodiment is used to connect to the ground, can shield the radiation and heat of high-energy particles generated by the experiment, reduce the radiation dose received by the operators and the surrounding environment, ensure the safety of the experiment. At the same time, the shielding cover 6 can also intercept the recoil substances and debris, prevent damage to the equipment and experimenters, achieving the purpose of ensuring the safety of the experiment, protecting the experimenters, equipment and environmental safety.

[0044] Preferably, since the turning point distance of the cycloid trajectory of secondary electrons is generally not greater than 3 mm, the gap between the shielding cover 6 and the side of the magnetic rail base 12 is set to not greater than 2.5 mm, which can make the shielding cover 6 and the magnetic rail base 12 in an open circuit state, achieving the purpose of saving energy and reducing energy consumption.

[0045] Specifically, in the magnetron sputtering coating technology, for a planar cathode, the movement trajectory of secondary electrons (the distance of electrons moving to the turning point) is a very crucial factor. When electrons are emitted from the cathode target, under the combined action of the electric field and magnetic field, they will move along a complex path. This path can be described by a cycloid, which is a mathematical curve representing the movement trajectory of electrons in the magnetic field and electric field. This distance has a decisive influence on the electron movement path in the magnetron sputtering process and can be determined by a specific formula. The formula can refer to the prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0046] The insulating pad 7 is made of insulating materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene, with a thickness of 5 - 10 mm. The insulating pad 7 is provided with a sealing groove and circularly evenly distributed mounting holes for the insulating sleeve 2 and the mounting bolts 1 to pass through. There is a gap between the mounting holes of the insulating pad 7 and the insulating sleeve 2 to facilitate the installation of the insulating sleeve 2.

[0047] In some embodiments, the embodiments of the present invention further include a first vacuum-sealed O-ring 4 and a second vacuum-sealed O-ring 5. A second vacuum-sealed O-ring 5 is provided between the mounting flange 3 and the extension plate, and a first vacuum-sealed O-ring 4 is provided on the surface of the mounting flange 3 in contact with the coating equipment.

[0048] In some embodiments, the magnetic rail base 12 is made of red copper material with good electrical conductivity. The distance between the bottom of the cooling cavity 121 and the front surface of the magnetic rail base 12 is 2 millimeters, that is, the thickness of the part of the magnetic rail base 12 corresponding to the cooling cavity 121 is 2 millimeters.

[0049] In some embodiments, the target 14 is pressed and fixed to the front surface of the magnetic rail base 12 by an annular gland 15. The gland 15 is detachably connected to the magnetic rail base 12, and the gland 15 is pressed against the outer edge of the front surface of the target 14. Specifically, the gland 15 is installed on the front surface of the magnetic rail base 12 through gland mounting bolts 16, and the magnetic rail base 12 is installed on the front surface of the target seat connection fixing sleeve 8 through magnetic rail base mounting bolts 13.

[0050] This embodiment uses bolts to install the components, abandoning the existing gluing, which improves the working stability and service life.

[0051] According to the different thicknesses of the target 14, glands 15 of different sizes are selected for fixed installation, so that the gap between the target surface and the magnet surface of the second column magnet 17 is 2 millimeters, improving the coating quality.

[0052] In some embodiments, the rotating motor 26 is connected to the flange through the motor seat 27. The rotating motor 26 is connected to the motor seat 27 through the first bolt 28, and the motor seat 27 and the flange are connected through the second bolt 29.

[0053] The present invention also provides a magnetron sputtering coating device, including the above-mentioned center magnetic field rotatable target cathode.

[0054] This embodiment specifically has all the advantages of the above embodiments, and will not be elaborated here.

[0055] In the present invention, specific examples are used to elaborate the principle and implementation manner of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the present invention; at the same time, for those of ordinary skill in the art, according to the idea of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation manner and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.
