Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of target material drying technology and relates to a mobile storage device for target material drying. Background Technology

[0002] Magnetron sputtering, with its advantages of low sputtering temperature and high deposition rate, is widely used in various thin film manufacturing processes. It is a crucial technology essential for semiconductor chip manufacturing, a type of physical vapor deposition (PVD) that uses high-energy particles to bombard the target surface, sputtering the target's atoms and depositing them as thin films on the substrate surface to prepare thin film materials. Sputtering targets offer numerous advantages, such as uniformity and controllability in metal deposition, and are widely used in the semiconductor field.

[0003] The inspection of weld quality and uniformity of target components after welding is crucial. Currently, C-SCAN ultrasonic non-destructive testing is one of the common methods for testing targets, mainly used to detect internal impurities, porosity, and other material defects, as well as the weld bonding rate. C-SCAN ultrasonic non-destructive testing typically requires immersing the target in water. However, metal targets are highly susceptible to oxidation when exposed to water; therefore, the target must be dried as soon as possible after testing to prevent prolonged exposure to a humid environment and subsequent oxidation.

[0004] In existing technologies, ultrasonic flaw detection targets are usually dried on a platform next to a water tank. This not only poses a risk of the target falling, but also a risk that some areas on the back of the target may not be dried. Furthermore, there is a risk of the target falling during the drying process of flipping it over, which can lead to product scrap.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a device for drying target materials, which can overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, quickly and effectively dry target materials, and facilitate the transfer and transportation of target materials to meet the needs of practical applications.

[0025] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the depth of the target placement groove is 2-4 times the thickness of the target to be dried.

[0026] In this invention, to avoid scratching the target material and affecting product use, the depth of the target material placement groove is controlled to be at least twice the thickness of the target material.

[0027] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a handle is provided on one side wall of the box body.

[0028] In this invention, a trolley handle is provided on one side wall of the box to facilitate the operation of the storage device by technicians.
