Description

Technical Field

[0002] Physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology refers to the technology of vaporizing the solid or liquid surface of the material source into gaseous atoms, molecules or partially ionized into ions under vacuum conditions by physical methods, and depositing a thin film with some special functions on the surface of the substrate through a low-pressure gas (or plasma) process. The principle of physical vapor deposition can be roughly divided into evaporation coating, sputtering coating and ion plating, which specifically includes various coating technologies such as MBE. At present, physical vapor deposition technology can not only deposit metal films and alloy films, but also compounds, ceramics, semiconductors, polymer films, etc.

[0003] Existing PVD coating equipment generally realizes the function of lifting the tray through a ball screw structure or a cylinder. The tray return does not have the ability of automatic transmission and is mostly carried manually. The cost of this transportation method is relatively high, the floor space is large, the overall work efficiency is relatively low, and it does not have the RFID information reading function. It is easy to make mistakes during manual transportation. For example, the carrier buffer device and PVD coating equipment disclosed in the publication number CN210456544U use a lifting component to drive the extraction component lifting plate to move the support plate to the position corresponding to any card slot. This solution can realize automatic loading and unloading of carriers without manual intervention, thus ensuring the personal safety of workers, avoiding the occupation of the robot arm, and saving costs. However, it is impossible to monitor whether the coating is carried out during the transportation process, and it cannot be guaranteed that every carrier is coated, and the yield rate is not high.
