Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of magnetron sputtering technology, and more specifically, to a temperature-sensitive thin-film magnetron sputtering device. Background Technology

[0002] Thermosensitive thin film magnetron sputtering is a technique that uses magnetron sputtering to deposit a thin film with temperature-sensitive properties onto a substrate.

[0003] In magnetron sputtering, high-energy ions bombard the target material, causing target atoms or molecules to be sputtered and deposited on the substrate to form a thin film. However, some impurity particles or sputtered materials may also be generated during sputtering. These particles can deposit on the inner wall of the isolation chamber, contaminating subsequent sputtering processes. To prevent contamination of the isolation chamber's inner wall during sputtering, tin foil is usually lined inside the isolation chamber. Compared to the inner wall of the isolation chamber, tin foil is easier to clean and replace. When the tin foil becomes contaminated, it can simply be removed and replaced with new tin foil, without requiring a complex cleaning of the entire vacuum chamber.

[0004] However, the current method of replacing the foil is mainly to manually tear off the foil and then stick it to the inner wall of the insulation tube. This method of replacing the foil is inconvenient to operate inside the insulation tube because of the manual sticker application.

[0005] In view of this, we propose a temperature-sensitive thin film magnetron sputtering device. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] A temperature-sensitive thin film magnetron sputtering device includes an isolation cylinder 1 and a base 6 fixed inside the isolation cylinder 1, as well as an auxiliary laying cylinder 5, a substrate mounting base 4, and tin foil 3. The substrate mounting base 4 includes a base 41, a shaft 42 annularly distributed on the base 41, a spring 43 rotatably mounted on the shaft 42, and a spring 44 fixed between the spring 43 and the shaft 42. The base 41 and the base 6 are detachable. A winding cylinder 2 is fixed on one side of the isolation cylinder 1. Corresponding strip holes 11 are opened on one side of both the winding cylinder 2 and the isolation cylinder 1. The winding cylinder 2 is detachable. The two ends of the tin foil 3 are wound and stored inside the winding cylinder 2. The outer diameter of the auxiliary laying cylinder 5 is close to the inside of the isolation cylinder 1 but not in contact with it.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 15The rolled tin foil 3 is placed into the winding tube 2, and one end of the tin foil 3 is passed through the strip hole 11 and placed in the isolation tube 1. Then the tin foil 3 is pulled out, and the tin foil 3 is manually arranged close to the inner wall of the isolation tube 1 to form a cylindrical structure. Then it is passed through the strip hole 11 into the winding tube 2. Then the auxiliary laying tube 5 is inserted into the tube formed by the tin foil 3. Then the winding tube 2 is used to wind one end of the tin foil 3, and the rolled tin foil 3 is released. At this time, the auxiliary laying tube 5 is used to help pull out the tin foil 3 and form a cylindrical structure. Then the auxiliary laying tube 5 is slowly and rotated upwards to take it out. Then the base 41 is removed from the base 6. The spring 43 rotates around the shaft 42. By adjusting multiple springs 43, the substrate is placed on the base 41, so that the springs 43 press on the substrate. Under the elastic rebound force of the spring 44, the springs 43 press the substrate tightly. Finally, after the cover is closed and the isolation cylinder 1 is evacuated, the target atoms or molecules are sputtered out and deposited on the substrate to form a thin film. When it is necessary to replace the tin foil 3, the auxiliary laying cylinder 5 is slowly and rotated into the cylinder formed by the tin foil 3. Then the used tin foil 3 is wound around, and the new tin foil 3 is replaced in the isolation cylinder 1. This eliminates the need to cut the tin foil 3 each time, and the overall appearance is better, which facilitates the quick replacement of the tin foil 3.

[0037] The upper surface of the base 6 has a plurality of positioning grooves 61 arranged in a ring, and the side of the base 41 away from the spring piece 43 has a plurality of positioning rods 411 arranged in a ring that are adapted to and correspond to the positioning grooves 61.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 Insert the positioning rod 411 into the corresponding positioning groove 61 so that the base 41 can be positioned and installed on the base 6.

[0039] The winding cylinder 2 includes a cylinder body 21 with one end open, a sealing cover 22, a positioning shaft 23, a reel 24, and a hand crank 25 fixed coaxially with the reel 24. The positioning shaft 23 is fixed on the sealing cover 22. The open end of the cylinder body 21 has multiple threaded holes 211. The sealing cover 22 has multiple mounting holes 221 corresponding to the threaded holes 211. The reel 24 has a strip insertion hole 241. The cylinder body 21 has a strip hole 11. The connection part between the reel 24 and the sealing cover 22 is fitted with multiple sealing rings 242.

[0040] Reference Figure 7 - Figure 14The lower end of the insertion hole 241 is open, and the sealing cover 22 is adapted to the open end of the cylinder 21. A sealing gasket is placed at the edge of the opening of the cylinder 21 to increase the sealing performance between the sealing cover 22 and the cylinder 21. Bolts are installed into the mounting hole 221 and connected to the threaded hole 211 by the bolts to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the sealing cover 22 and the cylinder 21. Unused tin foil 3 is wound on the drum 31, which can be inserted into the positioning shaft 23. After the foil 3 is laid in a cylindrical shape inside the isolation cylinder 1, the end is inserted into the insertion strip hole 241. At this time, the tin foil 3 can be wound by rotating the roller 24. The roller 24 is rotated by the hand crank 25. The roller 24 improves the sealing performance with the sealing cover 22 through multiple sealing rings 242. The roller 24 is placed at one end of the sealing ring 242 and the limiting ring is symmetrically fixed. The roller 24 passes through the sealing cover 22 and is prevented from moving axially under the action of the limiting ring.

[0041] Two shaft grooves 212 are provided on the bottom wall of the inner cylinder 21. The two shaft grooves 212 correspond to and are adapted to the positioning shaft 23 and the winding shaft 24, respectively.

[0042] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 14 After the sealing cover 22 is closed with the cylinder 21, the positioning shaft 23 and the reel 24 are respectively inserted into the corresponding shaft groove 212, thereby improving the stability of the positioning shaft 23 and the reel 24 through the shaft groove 212.

[0043] A handle 431 is fixed on the spring 43.

[0044] Reference Figure 6 By using the handle 431, pinching the handle 431, lifting the spring 43 upward and moving the spring 43, the substrate can be pressed onto the spring 43 or removed from under the spring 43.

[0045] The lower end of the isolation cylinder 1 has an integrally formed first flange 12 on its inner wall, and the inner wall of the first flange 12 has an integrally formed second flange 13. The inner diameter of the first flange 12 is adapted to the outer diameter of the auxiliary laying cylinder 5. The first flange 12 is placed at the lower edge of the strip hole 11. Multiple support rods 51 are distributed in a ring at both ends of the auxiliary laying cylinder 5.

[0046] Reference Figure 13 - Figure 15The inner diameter of the first flange 12 is smaller than the inner diameter of the isolation cylinder 1. The rolled-up tin foil 3 can be supported on the first flange 12 to improve the stability of the tin foil 3. The inner diameter of the second flange 13 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first flange 12 and forms a stepped groove. The auxiliary laying cylinder 5 is inserted into the barrel-shaped tin foil 3 and supported at the stepped groove on the second flange 13. At this time, the auxiliary laying cylinder 5 and the inner wall of the isolation cylinder 1 form an annular channel to facilitate the rolling of the tin foil 3. The tin foil 3 is shaped by the auxiliary laying cylinder 5. At the same time, the two ends of the auxiliary laying cylinder 5 are supported by multiple support rods 51 to avoid the problem that the two ends of the cylinder cannot be inserted into the stepped groove due to deformation.

[0047] Working principle: Remove the bolt from the threaded hole 211 counterclockwise through the mounting hole 221, allowing the sealing cap 22 to be removed from the cylinder 21. Then, place the roll 31 wrapped with tin foil 3 into the cylinder 21. Pull one end of the tin foil 3 outwards and through the slot 11 into the isolation cylinder 1. The tin foil 3 will adhere to the inner wall of the isolation cylinder 1. Then, insert the tin foil 3 back into the cylinder 21 through the slot 11, ensuring the end is positioned to one side of the roll 24. Finally, install the sealing cap 22 onto the cylinder 21. The positioning shaft 23 is inserted into the roll 31, and the end of the tin foil 3 is inserted into the insertion strip hole 241. The sealing cover 22 and the cylinder 21 are fixed by bolts. Then, the auxiliary laying tube 5 is installed into the isolation tube 1 and inserted into the cylindrical tin foil 3, while being supported on the second flange 13. At this time, the hand crank 25 can be turned to wind the tin foil 3 onto the roll 24, and the tin foil 3 is shaped by the auxiliary laying tube 5. After the shaping is completed, the auxiliary laying tube 5 is slowly and rotated out of the isolation tube 1.
