Description

Technical Field

[0002] Rotating targets are made of high-purity metals or compounds and are typically used in processes such as thin film deposition, evaporation, and sputtering.

[0003] Sputtering technology is a technology that uses particles with a certain amount of energy to bombard the surface of a solid to sputter out its atoms or molecules. The sputtered solid is usually called a target, and the sputtered atoms or molecules will fall on another solid surface to form a coating. The coated solid is usually called a substrate. Usually, the target is bound to a backplane for use. With the development of science and technology, the size of sputtering components is getting larger and larger, but it is quite difficult and expensive to prepare a single large-size target. The current mainstream alternative method is to prepare large-size targets by splicing multiple pieces of target materials, that is, on a large backplane, multiple pieces of target materials are bound and spliced ​​to form a large-size sputtering component. The commonly used binding solder is indium. However, on some specific targets, rotating targets can also be produced by casting in one piece, because it can increase production capacity and reduce manufacturing costs.

On the other hand, when unbundling, the rotating target can be continuously rotated to make the target heated more evenly. In addition, a highly sealed space can be created and inert gas can be introduced to prevent the discharge of toxic precious metal gases and the oxidation of the target to affect its reuse.
