The cooling device 100 for the electron beam evaporation source can cool multiple electron beam evaporation sources simultaneously, and occupies little space, has a simple structure, and is easy to use.

[0082] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a cooling cavity 110 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown.

[0083] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the cooling cavity 110 may include an upper cooling plate 111, a lower cooling plate 112, and one or more evaporation through-holes (e.g., evaporation through-holes 113a and 113b). The lower cooling plate 112 is disposed below the upper cooling plate 111. The one or more evaporation through-holes (e.g., evaporation through-holes 113a and 113b) are used to allow one or more electron beam evaporation sources (e.g., electron beam evaporation sources) to evaporate. Figure 4 The evaporation material of the electron beam evaporation sources 300a and 300b shown passes through. A cavity space for coolant flow can be formed between the upper cooling plate 111 and the lower cooling plate 112. In some embodiments, the upper cooling plate 111 and / or the lower cooling plate 112 may include sidewalls and form a cavity space for coolant flow by mutual sealing connection.

[0084] Those skilled in the art will understand that, although Figure 2 Evaporation vias 113a and 113b are shown for allowing evaporation materials from two electron beam evaporation sources to pass through, but this is only exemplary.

The non-magnetically conductive spacer layer 143 is disposed between the upper magnetically conductive shielding layer 141 and the lower magnetically conductive shielding layer 142.

[0090] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the magnetic shielding effect of the magnetic shielding assembly 140 can be optimized by introducing a non-magnetic spacer layer 143 between the upper magnetic shielding layer 141 and the lower magnetic shielding layer 142.

[0091] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the magnetic shielding assembly 140 may further include a metal pad 144. The metal pad 144 is disposed on the lower surface of the upper magnetic shielding layer 141, and / or the upper surface of the non-magnetic spacer layer 143, and / or the lower surface of the non-magnetic spacer layer 143, and / or the upper surface of the lower magnetic shielding layer 142, and / or the lower surface of the lower magnetic shielding layer 142, for supporting the upper magnetic shielding layer 141 and / or the non-magnetic spacer layer 143 and / or the lower magnetic shielding layer 142.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the setting of the metal gasket 144 can enhance the stability and durability of the overall structure of the magnetic shielding assembly 140.

[0094] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the upper cold plate 111 can include at least one positioning pin 1111. Figure 1 As shown in

[0095] Those skilled in the art can understand that Figure 2 The upper cold plate 111 shown in the figure includes four positioning pins 1111, and the magnetic shielding assembly 140 includes four positioning holes 145, which are only exemplary. The upper cold plate 111 can also include other numbers of positioning pins 1111, for example, two, five positioning pins, etc. The magnetic shielding assembly 140 can also include positioning holes 145 matched with the number of positioning pins 1111, for example, two, five positioning holes 145, etc., which are respectively matched with the positioning pins 1111 of the upper cold plate 111 for installation and positioning of the magnetic shielding assembly 140.

The cooling device 100 of the electron beam evaporation source can also include a tantalum wire 150. The tantalum wire 150 is used to pass through the through hole at the upper end of the positioning pin 1111 for fixing the upper cold plate 111 and the magnetic shielding assembly 140. The tantalum wire 150 is fixed in a simple way, which is convenient for installation and disassembly during maintenance.

[0097] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the cooling device 100 of the electron beam evaporation source can also include at least one support rod 160. The at least one support rod 160 is connected with the lower cold plate 112 for supporting the cooling cavity 110.

[0098] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the liquid inlet pipe 120 and the liquid outlet pipe 130 also have the function of supporting the cooling cavity 110, and one support rod 160 is used to form stable support for the cooling cavity 110 by cooperating with the liquid inlet pipe 120 and the liquid outlet pipe 130.

[0099] Those skilled in the art can understand that Figure 1The cooling device 100 for the electron beam evaporation source shown includes a support rod 160, which is merely exemplary. The cooling device 100 for the electron beam evaporation source may also be provided with other suitable numbers of support rods, such as two or three support rods, as needed.

At least one electron beam evaporation source (e.g., electron beam evaporation sources 300a and 300b) is at least partially disposed within and sealed to the vacuum chamber 200. The cooling device 100 for the electron beam evaporation source is disposed within the vacuum chamber 200 and located above at least one electron beam evaporation source (e.g., electron beam evaporation sources 300a and 300b) for cooling at least one electron beam evaporation source (e.g., electron beam evaporation sources 300a and 300b).

[0102] The cooling device 100 for the electron beam evaporation source in any embodiment of this disclosure does not increase the mounting flange area of ​​the electron beam evaporation source. Therefore, compared with existing electron beam evaporation source cooling devices, it can accommodate a larger number of electron beam evaporation sources in the vacuum processing system 1000. Therefore, although Figure 4 Only two electron beam evaporation sources are shown, but this is merely exemplary, and the vacuum processing system 1000 may also include three or more suitable electron beam evaporation sources. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the vacuum processing system 1000 may also include one electron beam evaporation source.
