Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vacuum coating equipment, in particular to a rotating cathode magnetic field uniformity guarantee device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Physical vapor deposition (PVD) has the advantages of large area, rapid and uniform film formation and is widely used in large size panel manufacturing field. Compared with planar cathode, rotating cathode can greatly improve the utilization rate of target material and reduce the target surface nodulation.

[0003] In order to uniformly deposit thin film on large area substrate and continuously and stably control, the target surface magnetic field distribution uniformity of long span rotating cathode must meet certain design requirements.

[0004] Under static state, the target surface magnetic field is mainly determined by the magnet configuration distribution in the cathode magnetic bar. However, in magnetron sputtering, the rotating target surface has complex collision effect and heat energy accumulation under the bombardment of a large number of high-energy positive ions, so that the cathode target body is quickly heated, and the heat energy is conducted to the magnet to increase the temperature of the magnet. Under the magnetic effect of magnet temperature rise, the magnetic field strength of long span target surface fluctuates, which is not conducive to the stability of large area uniform coating process. Therefore, the design of rotating cathode of magnetron sputtering needs to consider the cooling problem of target tube and magnetic bar, and a long span rotating cathode target surface uniformity guarantee device structure based on refrigerant heat exchange is designed, which has excellent disturbance and cooling performance, so that the target material cylinder and the magnetic bar are in a good environment temperature, and the target surface magnetic field uniformity guarantee purpose is achieved.

[0005] At present, the cooling water circulation pipeline structure of large long span rotating cathode in domestic industry still continues to use the traditional center single pipe one-way water inlet method used in the structure of short small span rotating cathode, that is, the water is inlet from the inner pipe space of one end of the stainless steel pipe to the other end, and then the water flow is outlet from the inner pipe and then back to the water along the outer ring surface of the steel pipe. The flow rate of cooling water 15 is relatively stable. Under this condition, there are mainly two problems: (1) under the structural characteristics of axial long span, the path of cooling water flowing in the cathode increases, so that the cooling effect of cooling water on the target surface and the magnetic bar appears obvious gradient stratification, the cooling effect of cooling water on the target cylinder gradually decreases along the water return direction, causing the temperature of the target surface and the magnetic bar to be uneven, and then affecting the target surface magnetic field uniformity (such as Figure 1 The temperature of the water return starting segment 803, the water return middle segment 802 and the water return end segment 801 rises in turn); (2) usually, the rotating direction of the cathode target cylinder remains the same for a certain period of time. If the traditional cooling water circulation pipeline is still used, the characteristics of this rotating motion cause the local temperature variation problem on the circumferential target surface along the rotation of the target cylinder, that is, taking the radial cross section of the magnetic yoke as the reference cross section 16, when the target cylinder rotates, the temperature of the target surface 13 close to the reference cross section gradually decreases, on the contrary, the local temperature of the target surface 14 far away from the reference cross section increases (such as Figure 2The target surface temperature unevenness affects the temperature change of the cathode magnet, and the temperature rise magnetic decay rate is also different.

The rotating cathode magnetic field uniformity protection device also includes a second nozzle (8), which is connected to the cold water pipe (3). The second nozzle (8) is fixed to the cold water pipe (3) through a connector assembly. The second nozzle (8) and the second baffle (62) are both located in the third partition. One end of the second nozzle (8) is fixed to the first end cap (11), and the other end is fixed to the support member (7). The second nozzle (8) includes a second nozzle, which is connected to the inner cavity (10).

5. The rotating cathode magnetic field uniformity protection device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The first nozzle (4) has several first nozzles (41), and the width of the first nozzle (41) increases or remains unchanged along the water inlet direction.

6. The rotating cathode magnetic field uniformity protection device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The second baffle (62) includes a first plate (621), a connecting rod (622), and a second plate (623). The first plate (621), the connecting rod (622), and the second plate (623) are connected in sequence. The first plate (621) is inclined relative to the axial direction of the target cylinder (1). The third baffle surface (6211) is disposed on the first plate (621). The second plate (623) is L-shaped. The second plate (623) includes an inclined plate and a straight plate. The straight plate is connected to the connecting rod (622) through the inclined plate. The inclined plate is inclined relative to the axial direction of the target cylinder (1). The straight plate is perpendicular to the axial direction of the target cylinder (1). The second baffle surface (6231) is disposed on the straight plate.
