Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," "in still other embodiments," etc., appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0024] In the related art, a deposition apparatus includes a housing 10, a power supply device 40 and a magnetron device 30. The power supply device 40 includes a power source 401 and a feed-in 403, the feed-in 403 supplies the power generated by the power source 401 to the target material 20, so as to excite and maintain the plasma, and guide the movement of positive ions. The magnetron device 30 includes a driving part 301 and a magnetron 302, the driving part 301 drives the magnetron 302 to rotate, the magnetron 302 refers to an array of permanent magnets or electromagnets installed on the back of the sputtering target material 20, which can construct a specific static closed magnetic field topology in the space in front of the surface of the target material 20, the magnetic lines of force are parallel to the target surface and form a ring-shaped closed loop to guide the movement of electrons. The feed-in 403 is coaxially arranged and connected with the target material 20, and the magnetron 302 is coaxially arranged with the target material 20 and needs to rotate around the axis of the target material 20.
[0025] In order to avoid interference with the power source 401 of the power supply device 40, the driving part 301 of the magnetron device 30 is installed on the housing 10 and is coaxial with the target material 20, and the magnetron 302 is coaxial with the target material 20. In order to make the magnetron 302 rotate around the axis of the target material 20, the output shaft 3011 of the driving part 301 is connected with the input shaft 3021 of the magnetron 302 through a gear box, which not only makes the occupied space of the deposition apparatus large, but also makes the structure of the deposition apparatus complex and the cost increases.
[0026] As Figures 1-3As shown in Figures 7 and 8, this embodiment provides a deposition apparatus, including but not limited to a radio frequency magnetron sputtering apparatus, a radio frequency plasma chemical vapor deposition apparatus with enhanced magnetic field, and an ion-assisted deposition apparatus using an independent radio frequency ion source. The output shaft 3011 of the drive unit 301 and the input shaft 3021 connected to the magnetic control unit 302 are coaxial with the target material 20, allowing the drive unit 301 to be connected to the magnetic control unit 302 via a coupling 303, enabling the magnetic control unit 302 to rotate around the axis of the target material 20. Furthermore, the power supply 401 is connected to the feed unit 403 via a conductive connector 402. The conductive connector 402 is sleeved on the input shaft 3021 connected to the magnetic control unit 302, so that one end of the conductive connector 402 is close to the center of the feed unit 403. The gearbox is generally about 200mm × 200mm × 60mm in size, while the coupling 303 does not occupy additional space, thus making the drive structure of the deposition apparatus more compact. Furthermore, replacing the gearbox with a coupling 303 simplifies the structure of the deposition apparatus. Furthermore, the gearbox costs tens of thousands, while the coupling 303 only costs a few hundred to a few thousand, thus reducing costs. Additionally, although the power supply 401 is located on one side of the drive unit 301, the conductive connector 402 is sleeved on the input shaft 3021 connected to the magnetic control unit 302, so that a portion of the conductive connector 402 near the feed unit 403 is introduced from the center of the feed unit 403, ensuring uniform current conduction. The deposition equipment will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.
[0027] like Figures 1-3 As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the deposition equipment of this embodiment includes a housing 10, a magnetron sputtering device 30, and a power supply device 40 for power supply. During deposition, the target material 20 is located inside the housing 10 and is a solid source material in the sputtering deposition process. It is typically a flat plate made of high-purity metal or alloy, or ceramic compound. After being bombarded by high-energy ions in plasma, its surface atoms are sputtered out and deposited onto the substrate to form a thin film. The magnetron sputtering device 30 includes a drive element 301, a magnetron control element 302, and a coupling 303. The drive element 301 can be a motor, a pneumatic motor, or a magnetohydrodynamic seal rotary drive element. The coupling 303 is a mechanical component used to connect two shafts and transmit torque and motion. It can be a rigid coupling or a flexible coupling (such as an elastic, diaphragm, or bellows type). The magnetron control element 302 can be an unbalanced magnetron, an electromagnetic coil magnetron, a high-power pulsed magnetron sputtering, or a dual magnetron AC sputtering. The magnetron control element 302 is located inside the housing 10 and is coaxial with the target material 20. The drive unit 301 is mounted on the top of the housing 10. The output shaft 3011 of the drive unit 301 and the input shaft 3021 connected to the magnetic control 302 are coaxial with the target material 20.
[0028] Specifically, the housing 10 can be a revolution body or not. If the housing 10 is a revolution body, the housing 10 is coaxial with the target material 20; if the housing 10 is not a revolution body, the housing 10 does not need to be coaxial with the target material 20. The driving member 301 can be a revolution body or not. If the driving member 301 is a revolution body, the driving member 301 is coaxial with the housing 10 and the target material 20; if the driving member 301 is not a revolution body, the driving member 301 does not need to be coaxial with the housing 10 and the target material 20. The power supply 401 can be a radio frequency power supply and / or a direct current power supply.
[0029] Since the output shaft 3011 of the driving member 301, the input shaft 3021 connected with the magnetron 302 and the target material 20 are coaxial, the output shaft 3011 can be connected with the input shaft 3021 through the coupling 303, so as to drive the magnetron 302 to rotate around the axis of the target material 20. The power supply device 40 comprises the power supply 401, the conductive connecting member 402 and the feed-in member 403. The electricity generated by the power supply 401 is supplied to the target material 20 through the conductive connecting member 402 and the feed-in member 403, and is used to excite and maintain the plasma of the process gas. The power supply 401 is installed on the top of the housing 10 and located at one side of the driving member 301. One part of the conductive connecting member 402 is connected with the output interface of the power supply 401, and the other part is connected with the feed-in member 403. In some embodiments, the conductive connecting member 402 is sleeved on the input shaft 3021 connected with the magnetron 302, so that the end of the conductive connecting member 402 close to the feed-in member 403 is introduced from the center of the feed-in member 403. The feed-in member 403 is coaxially arranged with the target material 20, the power supply 401 is connected with the feed-in member 403, and the bottom of the feed-in member 403 is provided with an opening 4034, and the end face of the opening 4034 is used to connect with the target material 20, so as to conduct electricity to the target material 20. The output shaft 3011 of the driving member 301 and the input shaft 3021 connected with the magnetron 302 are coaxial with the target material 20 in the present embodiment, so that the output shaft 3011 of the driving member 301 and the input shaft 3021 of the magnetron 302 can be connected through the coupling 303, thereby eliminating the need for a gear box transmission, simplifying the structure of the deposition equipment and reducing the cost. Although the power supply 401 is located at one side of the driving member 301, the conductive connecting member 402 is sleeved on the input shaft 3021 connected with the magnetron 302, so that the part of the conductive connecting member 402 close to the feed-in member 403 is introduced from the center of the feed-in member 403, which can ensure the uniformity of current conduction.
[0030] In this embodiment, the conductive connector 402 includes a first connector 4021 and a second connector 4022. One end of the first connector 4021 is connected to the power supply 401, and the other end is connected to the second connector 4022. The second connector 4022 is connected to the feed member 403. The second connector 4022 is sleeved on the input shaft 3021 connected to the magnetic control unit 302 and is coaxial with the input shaft 3021, thereby being coaxially arranged with the target material 20. The first connector 4021 and the second connector 4022 are perpendicular to each other. The coaxial arrangement of the second connector 4022 with the target material 20 can further improve the uniformity of current conduction. In this embodiment, the first connector 4021 and the second connector 4022 are separately arranged, which facilitates the assembly of the deposition equipment. In other embodiments, the first connector 4021 and the second connector 4022 are integrally arranged.
[0031] In this embodiment, the second connector 4022 is provided with a plurality of current-equalizing holes 40221, which can optimize the current conduction path on the second connector 4022, thereby further improving the uniformity of current conduction. Specifically, the current-equalizing holes 40221 may include transverse holes, vertical holes, and / or oblique holes. The transverse hole refers to the current-equalizing hole 40221 extending circumferentially along the second connector 4022; the vertical hole refers to the current-equalizing hole 40221 extending axially along the second connector 4022; and the oblique hole refers to the current-equalizing hole 40221 extending spirally. This allows for optimization of the current conduction path as needed.
[0032] like Figures 2-6 As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the first connector 4021 is connected to the power supply 401, and the other end is connected to the side of the second connector 4022 near the power supply 401 for easy assembly. A plurality of current-equalizing holes 40221 are provided on the side of the second connector 4022 near the power supply 401 and extend in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the second connector 4022. In this embodiment, the current-equalizing holes 40221 extend half a circle circumferentially along the second connector 4022, and the specific number of current-equalizing holes 40221 can be one or more. Providing current-equalizing holes 40221 on the side near the power supply 401 can extend the current conduction path, preventing the current from being biased towards the side of the second connector 4022 near the first connector 4021, thereby improving the uniformity of current conduction.
[0033] Specifically, the second connecting piece 4022 comprises a barrel portion 40222 and a mounting portion 40223. The barrel portion 40222 is sleeved on the input shaft 3021 and coaxial with the input shaft 3021, so as to improve the uniformity of current conduction. The bottom of the barrel portion 40222 of the second connecting piece 4022 is provided with a flange portion 40227, which is connected with the feeding piece 403 by screwing, clamping, riveting or welding. The top of the barrel portion 40222 is connected with the mounting portion 40223, which is connected with the first connecting piece 4021 by screwing, clamping, riveting or welding on the side close to the power supply 401, facilitating assembly.
[0034] The first connecting face 40224 is parallel to the axial direction of the barrel portion 40222 and parallel to the second connecting face 40211. When the first connecting piece 4021 and the second connecting piece 4022 are assembled, the first connecting face 40224 is attached to the second connecting face 40211, and the screw penetrates the first connecting face 40224 and the second connecting face 40211 and is connected to the mounting portion 40223. Specifically, the second connecting face 40211 is provided with a recess 40213, and the conductive connecting piece 402 further comprises a conductive spiral tube 4023, which is an electrical device formed by winding a wire into a spiral coil. The conductive spiral tube 4023 is interference-fitted in the recess 40213. When the first connecting face 40224 is attached to the second connecting face 40211, the conductive spiral tube 4023 deforms, so that one side of the conductive spiral tube 4023 is in contact with the side wall of the recess 40213, and the other side is in contact with the first connecting face 40224. It can be understood that due to manufacturing process and other reasons, the first connecting face 40224 and the second connecting face 40211 may not be completely attached. The conductive spiral tube 4023 can optimize the conduction of current between the first connecting face 40224 and the second connecting face 40211. In other embodiments, the recess 40213 can also be provided on the first connecting face 40224, or the recess 40213 can be provided on both the first connecting face 40224 and the second connecting face 40211.
[0035] In other embodiments, as Figures 7-12As shown, the top of the second connecting piece 4022 is provided with at least two connecting portions 40225, which are uniformly arranged along the circumference of the second connecting piece 4022, and the number of the connecting portions 40225 can be 2 or more. In the embodiment, the number of the connecting portions 40225 is 2, which specifically includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are uniformly arranged along the circumference of the second connecting piece 4022, and the line connecting the center of the first connecting portion and the center of the second connecting portion passes through the center of the second connecting piece 4022. The first connecting piece 4021 includes a connecting arm 40215 and at least two fastening portions 40214, and the number of the fastening portions 40214 is the same as that of the connecting portions 40225. In the embodiment, the two sides of the first connecting piece 4021 are respectively provided with the connecting arms 40215, and the two connecting arms 40215 are provided with an empty slot 40216 for avoiding the input shaft 3021. The ends of the two connecting arms 40215 are respectively connected with the fastening portions 40214. The first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are respectively provided with threaded holes, and the fastening portions 40214 are respectively provided with holes corresponding to the threaded holes of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. One screw passes through one hole of the first fastening portion 40214 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the first connecting portion, and the other screw passes through one hole of the other fastening portion 40214 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the second connecting portion, so as to realize the connection between the first connecting piece 4021 and the second connecting piece 4022. In other embodiments, the first connecting piece 4021 and the second connecting piece 4022 can be connected by clamping, riveting or welding. Since the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are uniformly arranged along the circumference of the second connecting piece 4022, and the connecting arm 40215 is arranged at intervals with the second connecting piece 4022, the connecting portions of the first connecting piece 4021 and the second connecting piece 4022 are uniformly arranged along the circumference of the second connecting piece 4022, which can improve the uniformity of current conduction.
[0036] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 11 In some embodiments, as shown in
[0037] In the embodiment, the connecting portions 40225 are protruding columns 40226, which are arranged on the top surface of the second connecting piece 4022. The two fastening portions 40214 are respectively provided with positioning grooves 40212 corresponding to the protruding columns 40226. The two protruding columns 40226 are inserted into the two positioning grooves 40212 one by one, so as to provide positioning for the installation of the first connecting piece 4021 and the second connecting piece 4022.
