[0002] The sputtering disk is a component used to support the target material during the sputtering deposition process. It can achieve sputtering and deposition of materials through high-energy particle bombardment in a vacuum environment. The design of the sputtering disk is crucial to the efficiency of the sputtering process and the quality of the final deposited film. In the wide-width cluster beam deposition structure, the sputtering disk needs to be able to withstand the impact of high-speed particles while ensuring uniform transfer and deposition of materials. Cluster beam deposition technology is widely used in doping, etching, cleaning, smoothing and thin film deposition on the surface of workpieces. The slit of the dual-cluster beam deposition is rectangular. If there is no limiter, it can only be used with a single cluster deposition system, and the deposition range is unstable, making it difficult to accurately deposit on the required substrate surface.

[0003] In the prior art, during the use of cluster beam deposition:

[0004] ① The gas clusters produced by cluster ion sources through electron bombardment include several to thousands or more molecular aggregates. These gas clusters are large in size and are usually neutral or carry a small amount of charge, so they only act on a very shallow surface area;

[0005] ② The cluster beam deposition system has an efficient dual deposition sputtering chamber, but due to the influence of the sputtering port slit, it is impossible to achieve seamless connection of the dual cluster beams, the deposition range is unstable, and the deposition rate is low;

[0032] The positioning screw 6 is fixed to the outer end of the sputtering port 2 , and the positioning screw 6 is wrapped around the inner end of the limiting groove 16 , and the limiting groove 16 runs through the inner ends of the long limiter 4 and the short limiter 5 .

[0033] The outer ends of the long limiter 4 and the short limiter 5 are connected to sensors, and scale lines are provided at the upper and lower ends of the sputtering port 2. Through the connection between the sensor and the scale lines, the electric rotating rod 17 pushes the movable gear ring 8 to rotate, and under the limitation of the tooth groove 9, the long limiter 4 and the short limiter 5 are pushed to the corresponding positions, which is convenient for adjusting the size of the sputtering port 2 and can facilitate wide-band cluster beam deposition.
