AI Technical Summary
In the process of controlling the sputtering of irregularly shaped targets, excessive differences in output between adjacent zones lead to boundary erosion steps and local imbalances, affecting the continuity of target surface erosion and the uniformity of subsequent sputtering, and reducing the utilization rate of the target material.
By collecting collaborative control data from each main control zone of the irregularly shaped sputtering target, a boundary association dataset is formed. The boundary status of adjacent zones is evaluated, abnormal common boundary lines are identified, and adjustment values are generated for closed-loop control, thereby achieving collaborative and smooth adjustment of zone sputtering.
It improves the overall continuity of target surface erosion of irregularly shaped targets, reduces partial discharge fluctuations and boundary mismatch accumulation, enhances the stability and balance of zoned sputtering control, extends the target's service life, and improves overall utilization.
