Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor process technology, and in particular to a physical vapor deposition auxiliary device and a method for using the same. Background Art
[0002] During the physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, factors such as target surface cleanliness, uniform gas distribution within the chamber, and workpiece position and angle adjustment significantly impact the quality and performance of the deposited thin film. Traditional PVD equipment has shortcomings in these areas, such as incomplete target surface cleaning, uneven gas distribution, and difficulty in uniformly coating complex workpieces, limiting its application in high-end thin film manufacturing.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a Chinese patent (Patent Publication No.: CN 118109786B) discloses an apparatus and method for preparing thermal barrier coatings by oxygen dissociation-assisted physical vapor deposition. When preparing the thermal barrier coating using electron beam physical vapor deposition, an electron gun emits a high-energy electron beam in a deposition chamber under high-temperature, high-vacuum conditions to bombard a ceramic target, causing it to melt and evaporate before being deposited on a substrate. During the electron beam bombardment of the target, a certain amount of oxygen is simultaneously introduced into a gas ionization chamber. A gas ionization system, constituted by an external power supply, applies high voltage to the gas ionization chamber, ionizing the introduced oxygen into oxygen ions, forming an oxygen plasma, which is then released into the vacuum deposition chamber. The highly chemically active oxygen plasma generated by the ionization can better combine with ionic species generated by the electron beam bombardment of the target, thereby providing sufficient oxygen supply during the physical vapor deposition process of the thermal barrier coating.
[0004] However, the device and method for preparing thermal barrier coatings by oxygen dissociation assisted physical vapor deposition still have some defects: first, the auxiliary device usually lacks the function of online cleaning of the target surface. Dust, impurities, etc. adsorbed on the target surface will enter the film during the sputtering process, increase the impurity content of the film, and affect the film performance; second, the existing auxiliary device does not give enough consideration to the uniform distribution of the working gas, resulting in uneven distribution of the gas in the coating chamber, affecting the uniformity of target atom sputtering and thin film deposition; third, the existing auxiliary device may not be able to guarantee uniform coating in all parts of the workpiece. Due to the concave, convex or corner parts of the workpiece, and due to the "line of sight" limitation of physical vapor deposition, it is difficult for the auxiliary device to make the gaseous particles reach these areas evenly. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Furthermore, the control panel is connected to the dynamic feedback control module, the target cleaning module and the multi-axis rotating workpiece stage by signal, so as to realize automatic control of process parameters.
[0014] Furthermore, the multi-axis rotating workpiece platform further includes a lifting plate and a lifting rod, and the height and tilt angle of the workpiece platform are adjusted through the linkage of the support hinge and the connecting hinge.
[0015] A method for using any of the above-mentioned physical vapor deposition auxiliary devices comprises the following steps:
[0016] Starting the vacuum pump to evacuate the vacuum chamber to a preset vacuum level;

[0034] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.
[0036] Example 1: Figure 1-6 As shown, a physical vapor deposition auxiliary device includes basic components such as a body 1, a vacuum pump 2, a control panel 9, a base 101, a support leg 102, an electron generation system 3, a reaction gas chamber 4 and a cleaning gas chamber 5, as well as three functional modules including a target material 801 cleaning module 6, a gas distribution optimization system, and a multi-axis rotating workpiece table 8. The various components and modules cooperate with each other to jointly realize an efficient thin film deposition process.
[0037] The body 1 of the present invention is a rectangular metal shell 306, which serves as the main structure of the entire device and provides a mounting base and support for other components, thereby protecting the internal components and maintaining the stability of the overall structure of the device. The bottom of the body 1 is provided with a base 101, which is equipped with anti-skid pads and support feet 102 for supporting the entire device and placing it stably on the ground. The anti-skid pads also prevent the device from displacement or vibration during operation. The support feet 102 are used to adjust the height and increase stability. They are connected to the four corners of the base 101 to support the entire device.
[0038] The vacuum pump 2 of the present invention is arranged on the upper right side of the body 1, and generates centrifugal force through mechanical movement, sucking gas from the air inlet and discharging it through the exhaust port, thereby realizing the extraction of gas in the body 1 and forming a vacuum environment. It is connected to the inside of the body 1 of the present invention, and is responsible for continuously extracting gas in the cavity during the deposition process, maintaining the required vacuum degree, providing a stable vacuum environment for physical vapor deposition, and preventing impurities in the air from affecting the quality of thin film deposition. The control panel 9 is arranged on the surface of the body 1. The control panel 9 displays the operating status and parameters of the device in real time, and the indicator light is used to prompt the working status of the device, such as power status, fault alarm, etc. It is connected to the control unit 304 of the present invention as a human-computer interaction interface. The operator can set the deposition process parameters, such as gas flow, deposition time, temperature, etc. through the control panel 9, and monitor the operating status of the device in real time.
[0039] The electron generation system 3 of the present invention comprises an electron emission source 301, a grid 302, an accelerating electrode 303, a control unit 304, an interface 305 and a housing 306. The electron emission source 301 is a field emission tip structure, the anode is a metal electrode, and the accelerating electrode 303 is an electrode with a hole of a specific shape. When the electron emission source 301 is energized, electrons are generated. The electrons are accelerated under the action of the electric field formed by the anode and the accelerating electrode 303 to form an electron beam, which is used to excite gas atoms to produce glow discharge, thereby realizing evaporation or sputtering in the physical vapor deposition process. The electron generation system 3 is installed inside the device and is connected to the power supply and control unit. The panel 9 is connected to provide the energy source required for the deposition process, and its interface 305 is connected to the input end of the target material 801 cleaning module 6; the electron generation system 3 also includes a cooling system 307, which is installed at the bottom of the electron generation system 3. The cooling system 307 drives the coolant to circulate in the cooling pipe, and the radiator dissipates the heat taken away by the coolant to the surrounding environment. It is connected to the electron generation system 3 of the present invention, and the circulation of the coolant takes away the heat generated by the components during operation, maintaining the device in stable operation at an appropriate temperature, and preventing overheating from having adverse effects on the device and the coating quality.
[0040] The housing 1 of the present invention also houses a reaction gas chamber 4 and a clean gas chamber 5. These chambers have a certain volume for storing gases. The reaction gas chamber 4 stores gases involved in the deposition reaction, such as nitrogen; the clean gas chamber 5 stores gases used for cleaning, such as argon. These chambers are connected to corresponding gas inlets and pipelines, and during the deposition process, they deliver gases into the chamber according to instructions from the control unit 304.
[0041] The target 801 cleaning module 6 utilizes a coaxial nested structure, with an outer ion gun 601 and an inner focusing gun 602. The outer ion gun 601 is responsible for macroscopic cleaning of the target 801 surface, removing larger particulate contaminants such as dust and oil. The inner focusing gun 602 focuses the ion beam on the target 801 surface, generating a high-energy-density ion beam that removes microscopic oxides from the target 801 surface, achieving atomic-level cleanliness. Furthermore, a surface monitoring sensor is integrated to monitor the cleanliness of the target 801 surface in real time and feed this data back to the control unit 304.
[0042] The gas distribution optimization system is designed with an annular multi-porous guide plate 7 inside the body 1. The annular multi-porous guide plate 7 includes a guide bottom plate and a plurality of guide members 701 evenly distributed on the guide bottom plate, so that a plurality of guide channels 702 can be formed. At the same time, it is equipped with a multi-channel gas inlet and a dynamic feedback control module. The multi-channel gas inlet can introduce reaction gases of different types or different flow rates. The dynamic feedback control module monitors the gas flow state and air pressure changes in the cavity in real time, and adjusts the flow rate of the gas inlet and the guide angle of the guide plate in real time according to the monitoring data to ensure that the gas is evenly distributed in the cavity and the air pressure fluctuation is controlled within a very small range.
[0043] The multi-axis rotating workpiece table 8 includes a driving rod, a first bevel gear 809, a second bevel gear 810, a sliding block 811, a sliding track 812, a supporting hinge 817, a connecting hinge 816, a lifting plate 815, a lifting rod 814, a driving sleeve 808, a fixing ring 807, a spring 806, a rotating member 805 and a connecting sleeve 804; the multi-axis rotating workpiece table 8 is used to mount the workpiece to be coated, and the driving motor 813 drives the first bevel gear 809 and the second bevel gear 810 to rotate, thereby realizing the revolution and rotation of the workpiece table and dynamically adjusting the sputtering angle. It drives the support hinge 817 and the connecting hinge 816 to move, changes the height of the lifting plate 815 and the lifting rod 814, and thus adjusts the inclination angle of the workpiece table, so that the workpiece with complex structure can receive the deposition of sputtered particles 10 evenly in all directions; the electromagnetic drive system controls the sliding block 811 to move on the sliding track 812, supports the linear movement of the multi-axis rotating workpiece table 8, and combines with the spring 806 to buffer vibration; the revolution speed of the multi-axis rotating workpiece table 8 is 1-10rpm, the rotation speed is 5-20rpm, and the inclination adjustment range is 0-90°.
[0044] The multi-axis rotating workpiece table 8 includes two identical components, a target table and a workbench. The target table is installed at the bottom of the body 1, used to fix the target material 801 and is located in the emission direction of the target material 801 cleaning module 6. The workbench is installed at the top of the body 1, used to fix the deposition substrate 818 and is located in the deposition direction of the sputtered particles 10 of the target table; the multi-axis rotating workpiece table 8 realizes multi-directional precision adjustment and positioning of the target material 801 through a modular structure, and its core is composed of a clamp fastener 802 system, a transmission mechanism and a drive system; the clamp fastener 802 system uses the bottom plate 803 as the base, and is connected to the rotating shaft 819 through the connecting sleeve 804 to ensure the continuity of power transmission; the drive sleeve 808 transmits the motor power to the rotating shaft 819, driving the rotating part 805 and the target material 801 to rotate around the main axis. The transmission mechanism adopts a bevel gear set (the first bevel gear 809 is fixed to the rotating shaft 819, and the second bevel gear 810 is directly driven by the drive motor 813) to convert horizontal rotation into vertical movement. At the same time, the vertical lifting (Z-axis) of the target material 801 is realized through the threaded or hydraulic mechanism of the lifting plate 815 and the lifting rod 814. The multi-directional adjustment mechanism relies on the horizontal displacement of the sliding block 811 along the guide rail, the angular adjustment (pitch and yaw) of the support hinge 817 and the connecting hinge 816, combined with the elastic buffering and locking functions of the spring 806 and the fixing ring 807 to achieve multi-degree-of-freedom fine-tuning of the workpiece. The drive system is centered on the encoder motor, which accurately controls the speed and angle, and supports multi-axis linkage to complete complex trajectories such as spiral lifting or tilt rotation. This structure is suitable for fields such as precision machining and optical detection, and meets the requirements of high-precision positioning and complex paths through coordinated motion.
[0045] Working Principle and Process: Before deposition begins, the target cleaning module is activated. First, the outer ion gun is powered on, generating an ion beam that bombards the target surface, removing larger particles of macro-contaminants. Subsequently, the inner focusing gun is activated, generating a high-energy-density ion beam that removes microscopic oxides from the target surface. A surface monitoring sensor monitors the target surface cleanliness in real time and feeds this data back to the control unit. This feedback accurately adjusts the ion gun operating parameters to ensure optimal target surface cleanliness.
[0046] Reactive gases enter the chamber through a multi-channel gas inlet and are evenly distributed by an annular, porous guide plate, forming a laminar flow that covers the workpiece surface. A dynamic feedback control module monitors the gas flow and pressure changes within the chamber in real time. Based on this data, the control unit adjusts the gas inlet flow rate and the guide plate's angle of diversion to ensure uniform gas distribution within the chamber, providing a stable gas environment for thin film deposition.
[0047] The workpiece to be coated is mounted on a multi-axis rotary workpiece stage. During the deposition process, a control unit controls the drive motor, driving the first and second bevel gears to rotate, achieving both orbital and rotational motion of the multi-axis rotary workpiece stage and dynamically adjusting the workpiece's sputtering angle. Simultaneously, an electromagnetic drive system controls the movement of the sliding block on the slide rail, driving the support hinge and connecting hinge to change the height of the lifting plate and lifting rod, thereby adjusting the inclination angle of the workpiece stage. This ensures that complex workpieces receive evenly deposited sputtered particles from all directions, improving coating coverage, reducing thickness variations, and ensuring coating quality.
[0048] The above specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not limitations of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the embodiments as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
