Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to target material sputtering technical field, concretely is a kind of composite structure rotating target material. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of coating glass, the target material is generally ionized by the process of magnetron sputtering to sputter particles, and in this process, the sputtered particles react with the reaction gas (oxygen or nitrogen) filled in the chamber to form a compound dielectric film with low absorption, high stability and certain refractive index. The compound is generally an oxide or nitride. As can be seen, the physical properties of the dielectric film formed are mainly affected by the ionized target material and the chamber atmosphere, and are not very stable, which will eventually be reflected on the product.

[0003] The existing zirconia rotating target material is formed by integral spraying, and the conductivity is improved by controlling the oxygen content in the zirconia and the phase composition of the coating. During use, due to the magnet structure and size of the target material core, the sputtering amount of the zirconia rotating target material at both ends is very small, which will cause oxygen enrichment at both ends of the rotating target material during the target material sputtering process. Oxygen enrichment at the ends will cause the conductivity of the target material to decrease and the resistivity to increase, resulting in arc discharge at the ends of the rotating target material. The craters caused by arc discharge at both ends of the zirconia target material seriously reduce the service life of the target material. Therefore, a composite structure rotating target material is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
