Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum coating technology, and in particular to a scratch-resistant magnetron sputtering target core. Background Technology

[0002] Sputtering is a process in which particles (ions or neutral atoms or molecules) with a certain energy bombard the surface of a target material under vacuum conditions, so that the atoms or molecules near the surface of the target material gain enough energy to eventually escape from the target material surface and be deposited on the substrate.

[0003] Magnetron sputtering increases the sputtering rate by introducing a magnetic field onto the target cathode surface and using the magnetic field to confine charged particles.

[0004] Common cylindrical magnetron sputtering targets are constructed by shaping the target material into a hollow cylinder with a target core (magnetic rod) inside. Adjusting the magnetic field or changing the target material requires repeated disassembly and reassembly of the target core and target cylinder. Since both are made of metal, although there is a gap between them, scratches are inevitable, causing damage to the inside of the target cylinder and ultimately affecting the magnetron sputtering effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a scratch-resistant magnetron sputtering target core to solve the problem of damage to the inside of the target cylinder caused by scratching during repeated disassembly and installation of the target core and the target cylinder.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides a scratch-resistant magnetron sputtering target core, which is installed inside a cylindrical target cylinder. The core is characterized by including a magnetic rod assembly, with water chambers fixedly installed on both sides of the magnetic rod assembly, and the magnetic rod assembly is cooled by a cooling medium circulating in the water chambers.

[0007] The magnetic rod assembly is also provided with a plurality of anti-scratch blocks on its outer side. The anti-scratch blocks are evenly distributed on both sides of the magnetic rod assembly, and the anti-scratch blocks protrude from the outer edge of the water chamber.

[0008] The anti-scratch block is made of a flexible material, so that when the magnetic rod assembly is installed inside the target cylinder along the central axis, the anti-scratch block contacts the inner wall of the target cylinder, thus avoiding damage to it.

[0009] Preferably, there are multiple anti-scratch blocks, which are arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically on both sides of the magnetic rod assembly.

[0010] Preferably, the square tube of the magnetic rod assembly is machined with mounting steps on both sides for positioning and mounting the water chambers on both sides.

[0011] Preferably, the water chamber includes a mating surface, a mounting surface, and an arc-shaped outer edge. The mating surface contacts the side of the square tube, while the mounting surface contacts the mounting step.

[0012] Preferably, the anti-scratch block is installed on the mounting surface of the water chamber by fasteners and protrudes from the arc-shaped outer edge of the water chamber.

[0013] Preferably, the anti-scratch block is a flexible block with a trapezoidal cross-section.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention adds a flexible anti-scratch block to the original magnetic rod assembly and water chamber, ensuring that the anti-scratch block protrudes from the outer edge of the water chamber. When the magnetic rod assembly is repeatedly disassembled and installed with the target cylinder along the central axis, the anti-scratch block contacts the inner wall of the target cylinder, thus preventing damage to it.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components.

[0025] This invention provides a scratch-resistant magnetron sputtering target core, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it is installed inside the cylindrical target tube 100; for details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 3 It includes a magnetic rod assembly 1, with water chambers 2 fixedly installed on both sides of the magnetic rod assembly 1. The magnetic rod assembly 1 is cooled by a cooling medium circulating in the water chambers 2. A plurality of anti-scratch blocks 3 are also provided on the outer side of the magnetic rod assembly 1. The anti-scratch blocks 3 are evenly distributed on both sides of the magnetic rod assembly 1, and the anti-scratch blocks 3 protrude from the outer edge of the water chambers 2. The anti-scratch blocks 3 are made of flexible material, so that when the magnetic rod assembly 1 is installed inside the target cylinder 100 along the central axis, the anti-scratch blocks 3 contact the inner wall of the target cylinder 100, avoiding damage to it.

[0026] Furthermore, there are multiple anti-scratch blocks 3, which are symmetrically or asymmetrically spaced on both sides of the magnetic rod assembly 1; and the square tube 101 of the magnetic rod assembly 1 has mounting steps 102 on both sides for positioning and mounting the water chambers 2 on both sides.

[0027] Furthermore, the water chamber 2 includes a mating surface 201, a mounting surface 202, and an arc-shaped outer edge 203. The mating surface 201 contacts the side of the square tube 101, while the mounting surface 202 contacts the mounting step 102. The anti-scratch block 3 is installed on the mounting surface 202 of the water chamber 2 by fasteners and protrudes from the arc-shaped outer edge 203 of the water chamber 2.

[0028] In one embodiment, the anti-scratch block 3 is a flexible block with a trapezoidal cross-section.

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model is to add a flexible anti-scratching block to the original magnetic rod assembly and water chamber, and ensure that the anti-scratching block protrudes from the outer edge of the water chamber. When the magnetic rod assembly is repeatedly disassembled and installed with the target cylinder along the central axis, the anti-scratching block comes into contact with the inner wall of the target cylinder, thus avoiding damage to it.
