The second driving member 22 is drivingly connected to one end of the second transmission member 23, and the other end of the second transmission member 23 is drivingly connected to the support plate 24. The second driving member 22 is used to drive the second transmission member 23 to move, so that the second transmission member 23 drives the support plate 24 to move at a uniform speed along the Y-axis.

[0048] Compared with the prior art, the magnet moving structure of this embodiment is provided with a first moving assembly 1 and a second moving assembly 2 that cooperate with each other; by making the first driving member 12 of the first moving assembly 1 drive the first transmission member 13 to move, so that the first transmission member 13 drives the output plate 14 to move along the X-axis, thereby being able to drive the entire second moving assembly 2 to move along the X-axis through the output plate 14, so as to drive the magnet 10 carried by the support plate 24 to move at a uniform speed along the X-axis; and making the second driving member 22 of the second moving assembly 2 drive the second transmission member 23 to move, so that the second transmission member 23 drives the support plate 24 to move along the Y-axis. The axis moves, thereby being able to drive the magnet 10 carried thereon to move at a uniform speed along the Y axis through the support plate 24, so as to realize the uniform speed movement of the magnet 10 on the X axis and the Y axis respectively; the magnet 10 that moves at a uniform speed and continuously can accurately control the moving position of the magnetic field on the surface of the magnetron sputtering target, ensure the uniform distribution of the magnetic field on the surface of the magnetron sputtering target, ensure that different areas of the magnetron sputtering target can be uniformly exposed to the magnetic field, so as to avoid the problem that some areas of the magnetron sputtering target are consumed too quickly while other areas are underused, thereby ensuring that the utilization rate and service life of the magnetron sputtering target are high.

[0049] The magnetron sputtering device in this embodiment, since it includes the above-mentioned magnet moving structure, can ensure the uniform distribution of the magnetic field on the surface of the magnetron sputtering target, so that the utilization rate of the magnetron sputtering target is high, thereby ensuring uniform etching of different areas of the magnetron sputtering target.

[0050] Furthermore, by providing two relatively independent components, the first movable component 1 and the second movable component 2, and making the second base of the second movable component 2 detachably connected to the output plate 14 of the first movable component 1, the first movable component 1 and the second movable component 2 can form a modular structure independently, ensuring that the first movable component 1 and the second movable component 2 are relatively independent while ensuring the connection relationship, thereby making the disassembly, assembly, maintenance and upgrading of the first movable component 1 and the second movable component 2 relatively simple and convenient, thereby making the magnet moving structure have high flexibility and adaptability; and, when one of the first movable component 1 and the second movable component 2 is damaged, it is only necessary to replace the damaged component, which effectively reduces the maintenance cost of the magnet moving structure and makes the cost of the entire magnetron sputtering device lower.

[0052] Specifically, the arrangement shape of each clamping groove on the support plate 24 matches the shape of the magnetron sputtering target, so that the arrangement position of each magnet 10 on the support plate 24 can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual sputtering requirements, thereby better ensuring that different areas of the magnetron sputtering target can be evenly exposed to the magnetic field to improve the sputtering efficiency. In this embodiment, three magnets 10 are fixed to the upper limit of the support plate 24, and the three magnets 10 are arranged side by side along the Y axis. Here, there is no limitation on the number of magnets 10 carried by the support plate 24 and the specific arrangement method.

[0053] The structure of the first moving component 1 is described in detail below:

[0054] Furthermore, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first base includes two first support bases 111 and two first connecting plates 112; the two first support bases 111 are arranged opposite each other along the X-axis, the fixed end of the first driving member 12 is disposed on either of the first support bases 111, and the first transmission member 13 is connected between the two first support bases 111; the two first connecting plates 112 are arranged opposite each other and spaced apart along the Y-axis, and the opposite ends of the first connecting plates 112 along the X-axis are respectively connected to the two first support bases 111.

[0055] By connecting the two first support bases 111 and the two first connecting plates 112 to form the first square-shaped base, the structure of the first base is simplified and lightweight, facilitating a lightweight design of the first base. Furthermore, the square-shaped first base is ensured to have good structural strength and stability, thereby ensuring stable support for the first transmission member 13, the first driving member 12, and the second moving assembly 2. In this embodiment, the first support bases 111 and the first connecting plates 112 are both made of profiles with good structural strength.

[0056] Furthermore, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first transmission member 13 includes a first threaded rod 131 and a first moving block 132; wherein, the first threaded rod 131 extends along the X-axis, and the opposite ends of the first threaded rod 131 along the X-axis are respectively rotatably connected to the two first support seats 111, and the first threaded rod 131 is spaced above the first connecting plate 112, and the first threaded rod 131 is located between the two first connecting plates 112; the first moving block 132 is threadedly sleeved on the first threaded rod 131, and the first moving block 132 is connected to the output plate 14; the rotation of the first threaded rod 131 can drive the first moving block 132 to move linearly along the X-axis, thereby driving the output plate 14 to move at a uniform speed along the X-axis.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, the first threaded rod 131 is spaced above the first connecting plate 112 to avoid interference with the rotation of the first threaded rod 131 by the first connecting plate 112, thereby ensuring smooth rotation of the first threaded rod 131; and the first threaded rod 131 is located between the two first connecting plates 112, so that the two first connecting plates 112 can better support and balance the first threaded rod 131 located therebetween, thereby avoiding the problem of deflection of the first threaded rod 131 during rotation, thereby ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the rotation of the first threaded rod 131.

[0058] Furthermore, by providing a first threaded rod 131 and a first moving block 132 that cooperate with each other, the displacement distance and speed of the output plate 14 along the X-axis can be controlled by precisely controlling the rotation angle and rotation speed of the first threaded rod 131, thereby ensuring that the magnet 10 moves in a suitable position and at a relatively uniform speed along the X-axis, thereby better ensuring a uniform distribution of the magnetic field on the surface of the magnetron sputtering target. The first threaded rod 131 is connected to the output shaft of the first driver 12 via a coupling 17, ensuring good coaxiality between the output shaft of the first driver 12 and the first threaded rod 131.

[0059] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the first moving assembly 1 further includes a guide rod 15 and a guide block 16; wherein, the guide rod 15 is parallel to the first threaded rod 131 and is spaced apart to ensure that the guide rod 15 and the first threaded rod 131 do not affect each other, and the opposite ends of the guide rod 15 along the X-axis are respectively connected to the two first support seats 111; at least two guide blocks 16 are provided on the guide rod 15, and the guide blocks 16 can slide along the X-axis along the guide rod 15, and the guide blocks 16 are connected to the output plate 14.

[0060] By providing at least two guide blocks 16 on the guide rod 15, each guide block 16 can simultaneously slide along the guide rod 15 driven by the output plate 14, effectively guiding the movement of the output plate 14 along the X-axis, thereby ensuring the guidance and reliability of the movement of the output plate 14 along the X-axis. In this embodiment, two guide blocks 16 are provided on the guide rod 15. The number of guide blocks 16 provided is not specifically limited.

[0061] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, at least two guide rods 15 are provided, each located on opposite sides of the first threaded rod 131 along the Y-axis. That is, a guide rod 15 is provided on opposite sides of the first threaded rod 131. This allows each guide rod 15 to better guide and balance the first threaded rod 131 located between them, preventing the first threaded rod 131 from deflecting during rotation and further ensuring the smooth and reliable rotation of the first threaded rod 131. In this embodiment, two guide rods 15 are provided, each located on opposite sides of the first threaded rod 131 along the Y-axis. The specific number of guide rods 15 is not limited herein.

[0062] The structure of the second moving component 2 is described in detail below:

[0063] Specifically, if Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the second base includes two second support bases 211 and two second connecting plates 212; the two second support bases 211 are arranged opposite each other along the Y-axis, the fixed end of the second driving member 22 is disposed on either of the second support bases 211, and the second transmission member 23 is connected between the two second support bases 211; the two second connecting plates 212 are arranged opposite each other and spaced apart along the X-axis, and the opposite ends of the second connecting plates 212 along the Y-axis are respectively connected to the two second support bases 211. Both second connecting plates 212 are detachably connected to the output plate 14 to achieve a detachable connection between the first moving assembly 1 and the second moving assembly 2. In this embodiment, the second driving member 22 can specifically be a servo motor.

[0064] By connecting the two second support bases 211 and the two second connecting plates 212 to form a square-shaped second base, the removable connection between the output plate 14 and the second base is facilitated, and the second base has a simpler structure and lighter weight, which facilitates a lightweight design of the second base. Furthermore, the square-shaped second base ensures good structural strength and stability, thereby ensuring stable support for the second transmission member 23, the second driving member 22, the support plate 24, and the magnet 10. In this embodiment, the second support bases 211 and the second connecting plates 212 are both made of profiles with good structural strength.

[0065] Furthermore, if Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the second transmission member 23 includes a second threaded rod 231 and a second movable block 232; wherein the second threaded rod 231 extends along the Y-axis, and the second threaded rod 231 is rotatably connected to the two second support seats 211 at opposite ends along the Y-axis, and the second threaded rod 231 is spaced above the second connecting plate 212, and the second threaded rod 231 is located between the two second connecting plates 212; the second movable block 232 is threadedly sleeved on the second threaded rod 231, and the second movable block 232 is connected to the support plate 24; the rotation of the second threaded rod 231 can drive the second movable block 232 to move along the Y-axis, thereby driving the support plate 24 to move at a uniform speed along the Y-axis. The second threaded rod 231 is connected to the output shaft of the second driving member 22 by a coupling 17 to ensure good coaxiality between the output shaft of the second driving member 22 and the second threaded rod 231.

[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, by spacing the second threaded rod 231 above the second connecting plate 212, it is possible to avoid the second connecting plate 212 interfering with the rotation of the second threaded rod 231, thereby ensuring the smooth rotation of the second threaded rod 231; and, the second threaded rod 231 is located between the two second connecting plates 212, so that the two second connecting plates 212 can better support and balance the second threaded rod 231 located in the middle, thereby avoiding the problem of deflection of the second threaded rod 231 during rotation, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the rotation of the second threaded rod 231; and, by arranging the second threaded rod 231 and the second moving block 232 that cooperate with each other, it is possible to ensure that the moving position of the magnet 10 on the Y-axis is more appropriate and the moving speed is more uniform.

[0067] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the second moving assembly 2 also includes a slide bar 25 and a slider 26. The slide bar 25 is parallel to the second threaded rod 231 and spaced apart to ensure that the slide bar 25 and the second threaded rod 231 do not interfere with each other. The slide bar 25 is connected to the two second support seats 211 at opposite ends along the Y-axis. The slide bar 25 is provided with at least two sliders 26, which can slide along the slide bar 25 along the Y-axis. The sliders 26 are connected to the support plate 24 so that the multiple sliders 26 on the slide bar 25 ensure good guidance and reliability for the movement of the support plate 24 along the Y-axis. In this embodiment, two sliders 26 are provided on the slide bar 25. The number of sliders 26 provided is not specifically limited.

[0068] Specifically, if Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, at least two slide rods 25 are provided, each located on opposite sides of the second threaded rod 231 along the X-axis. That is, a slide rod 25 is provided on opposite sides of the second threaded rod 231. This allows each slide rod 25 to effectively guide and balance the second threaded rod 231 located between them, preventing deflection of the second threaded rod 231 during rotation and further ensuring smooth and reliable rotation of the second threaded rod 231. In this embodiment, two slide rods 25 are provided, each located on opposite sides of the second threaded rod 231 along the X-axis. The specific number of slide rods 25 is not limited herein.

[0069] The magnet moving structure in this embodiment, by setting a first threaded rod 131, a guide block 16, a second threaded rod 231 and a slider 26 that cooperate with each other, enables the magnet 10 on the support plate 24 to move at a uniform speed along the X-axis and the Y-axis respectively, and can accurately control the moving position of the magnetic field on the surface of the magnetron sputtering target, ensure the uniform distribution of the magnetic field on the surface of the magnetron sputtering target, and thus ensure that the utilization rate and service life of the magnetron sputtering target are high, and ensure uniform etching of different areas of the magnetron sputtering target.
