[0027] Embodiment 1
[0028] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, this embodiment provides a movable planar magnetic field adjusting device, which includes a magnet seat 101, an inner ring magnet 102 and an outer ring magnet 103 installed on the magnet seat 101. The outer ring magnet 103 is located outside the inner ring magnet 102. The inner ring magnet 102 includes side magnets 1021 that are parallel to each other and semi-circular magnets 1022 connected to both ends of the side magnets 1021. After the two side magnets 1021 and the two semi-circular magnets 1022 are connected, a ring structure is formed.
[0029] A row of magnetic conduction components 104 are arranged on both sides of the inner ring magnet 102 along the length direction, which play the role of a magnetic yoke, and the magnetic conduction components 104 are located between the inner ring magnet 102 and the outer ring magnet 103. The magnetic conduction components 104 are arranged parallel to the side magnets 1021 of the inner ring magnet 102. Specifically, the magnetic conduction components 104 include a plurality of long strip-shaped magnetic conduction blocks 1041 connected in sequence.
[0030] A magnetic conduction table 105 fixed to the magnetic conduction components 104 is arranged on the side of the magnetic conduction components 104 away from the inner ring magnet 102. In specific implementation, a magnetic conduction table 105 is installed on each magnetic conduction block 1041, and the magnetic conduction table 105 is located on the side away from the inner ring magnet 102.
[0031] In this embodiment, the magnetic guiding table 105 has a U-shaped structure, and the magnetic guiding block 1041 is installed on a vertical plate 1054 of the magnetic guiding table 105. A waist-shaped hole 1052 is formed in the bottom plate 1051 of the magnetic guiding table 105. Bolt mounting holes are provided on the magnetic steel seat 101 at positions corresponding to the waist-shaped hole 1052. The magnetic guiding table 105 and the magnetic steel seat 101 are fixedly connected by bolts passing through the waist-shaped hole 1052 and the bolt mounting holes. The length direction of the waist-shaped hole 1052 is perpendicular to the length direction of the magnetic guiding block 1041. After loosening the bolts, adjust the position of the magnetic guiding table 105 along the direction of the waist-shaped hole 1052, and then adjust the position of the magnetic guiding component 104 in the plane magnetic field. After adjustment, tighten the bolts.
[0032] In a specific setting, there is a certain gap between the bottom of the magnetic guiding block 1041 and the upper surface of the magnetic steel seat 101, which is convenient for the magnetic steel seat 101 to move along with the magnetic guiding table 105.
[0033] Preferably, two magnetic guiding tables 105 are correspondingly arranged for each magnetic guiding block 1041. The two magnetic guiding tables 105 are installed at intervals on one side of the magnetic guiding block 1041. In this embodiment, the two magnetic guiding tables 105 are fixed at both ends of the magnetic guiding block.
[0034] A water retaining table 1053 is fixed on one side of the waist-shaped hole 1052 on the bottom plate 1051 of the magnetic guiding table 105. The water retaining table 1053 is a rectangular parallelepiped convex platform that is higher than the bottom plate 1051. Since the magnetic steel is cooled by water, the water retaining table 1053 can increase the tortuous path of the water flow and enhance the cooling effect.
[0035] The magnetic guiding block 1041 has a high magnetic permeability and can be magnetized more easily and maintain the magnetic state. When the magnetic guiding block 1041 is placed in a magnetic field, it can absorb more magnetic field lines, thereby reducing the interference of the magnetic field on the surrounding environment. During use, the movable plane magnetic field adjusting device is installed in the magnetron sputtering coating equipment. In cooperation with the magnetic field detection device, if a higher magnetic field is detected at a certain place, move the position of the corresponding magnetic guiding block 1041 to weaken the magnetic field intensity of this part, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the magnetic field uniformity.
[0036] Embodiment 2
[0037] This embodiment provides a magnetron sputtering coating equipment, including a sputtering chamber and a planar cathode cover plate 200 buckled on the sputtering chamber. After the planar cathode cover plate 200 is pressed against the sputtering chamber, a sealing effect is achieved. The planar cathode cover plate 200 is as Figure 4 shown. Other parts of the magnetron sputtering coating equipment adopt the prior art and are not shown in the figure.
[0038] The movable plane magnetic field adjusting device 100 and the target 201 are installed on the planar cathode cover plate 200. The specific installation method is not the innovation point of this application and adopts the prior art, so it will not be elaborated here.
[0039] The usage method is as follows: First, install the movable planar magnetic field adjusting device 100 on the planar cathode cover plate 200; second, loosen the bolts and move the position of the magnetic conduction table 105, and then adjust the position of the magnetic conduction block to adjust the uniformity of the magnetic field distribution, and tighten the bolts; then, perform magnetron sputtering coating. During the magnetron sputtering coating process, make the deposition of the sputtering particles on the surface of the target 202 more uniform; finally, complete the magnetron sputtering coating process to obtain a high-quality coating effect.
[0040] The utility model changes the uniformity of the overall magnetic field by adjusting the position of the magnetic conduction block, has a simple structure, is convenient to adjust, has a high coating quality, and can effectively solve the problem of uneven magnetic field intensity of the planar cathode.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.
