Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ion sputtering equipment, in particular to a thermoelectric ion sputtering device which is easy to plug and unplug. Background Art
[0002] Ion sputtering is a method of physical vapor deposition. Inert gas (such as argon) is introduced into the vacuum chamber to make it glow discharge under high voltage. The gas ions bombard the cathode target made of the film material under the action of the strong electric field, so that the atoms on the surface are sputtered out and deposited on the substrate to form a film. The ion sputtering coating method is a new method to enhance the interphase contrast display structure by forming an interference film by ion sputtering.
[0003] However, in the prior art, existing thermoelectric ion sputtering devices mostly adopt fixed settings with complex structures, cannot be quickly disassembled for maintenance, and cannot be adjusted. In addition, the uneven etching rate of the entire target surface causes the deposition rate to drift, which is particularly serious in reactive sputtering, resulting in instability in the reactive sputtering deposition process, low coating efficiency, and poor production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the technical problems is: a thermoelectric ion sputtering device that is easy to plug and unplug, comprising: an ion gun seat; an outer shell, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the top of the ion gun seat; an accelerating electrode, which is located inside the shell; an emitting end, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top of the shell; a generating end, which is located at the bottom end of the ion gun seat; the emitting end comprises a first grid, the two ends of the first grid are symmetrically fixedly connected with ceramic partitions, the top of the ceramic partition is fixedly connected with a second grid, and the bottom end of the first grid is fixedly connected to the top of the shell.
[0005] Preferably, the accelerating electrode is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the ion gun seat, and the emitting end is arranged at the top of the accelerating electrode. The positively charged argon ions are repelled by the high voltage positive charge of the anode plate and attracted by the negatively charged accelerating electrode, so that the ions keep moving in a straight line and avoid collision.
[0006] Preferably, the inner wall of the ion gun seat is symmetrically fixedly connected with an upper magnetic column fixing bar, the outer wall of the bottom end of the upper magnetic column fixing bar is fixedly connected with a magnetic column, and the bottom end of the magnetic column is fixedly connected with a lower magnetic column fixing bar. When ions pass through the magnetic column between the upper magnetic column fixing bar and the lower magnetic column fixing bar, the ions are caused to rotate at high speed under the action of the magnetic field.
[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the ion gun seat is symmetrically fixedly connected with an anode sheet, the top of the anode sheet is fixedly connected with a square magnet, and the anode sheet is arranged at the bottom end of the lower magnetic column fixing bar. After the anode sheet is connected to the positive voltage, through the square magnet at the top thereof, under the action of the anode voltage and the magnetic field, the electric charge moves to the upper end of the anode sheet and repels the positively charged argon ions.
[0008] Preferably, the generating end includes a filament holder, the inner wall of the filament holder is fixedly connected with a connector, the outer wall of the connector is fixedly connected with a vacuum tube, and the outer wall of the connector is fixedly connected with a filament. The filament is arranged inside the vacuum tube, and the top outer wall of the filament holder is fixedly connected with the bottom outer wall of the ion gun holder. The filament is a cathode filament, and by connecting the connector with current, the temperature of the filament is increased to generate a large number of thermal electrons, and by injecting argon gas into the vacuum tube, the filament is ionized and decomposed into positively charged argon ions and a large number of negatively charged electrons after heating.
[0009] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0010] The utility model sets a generating end, and the filament is ionized and decomposed into charged ions after being heated. The heat of the filament is adjusted by adjusting the current of the connector, and the amount of decomposed charges is controlled. The charges are made to move to the upper end of the anode sheet under the action of the anode voltage and the magnetic field, and the evolved ions are made to rotate at a high speed under the action of the magnetic field through the magnetic column. The speed of ion movement is accelerated at the accelerating pole. Under the action of the high negative voltage of the first grid, the ions quickly impact upward, and then pass through the second grid and are quickly ejected from the second grid holes to etch the metal surface. The reactive sputtering deposition process is stable, the transmission efficiency of the ions is guaranteed, and the overall structure is simple. They are all installed in the ion gun seat, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance. The filament seat is embedded in the interior of the ion gun seat, which is convenient for plugging and removing the generating end. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
