Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sputtering coating technology, specifically to a jig for sputtering coating. Background Technology
[0002] The dual-target magnetron sputtering coating system is a laboratory thin film preparation device equipped with both DC and RF dual targets. It achieves atomic-level deposition of materials such as metals and oxides by bombarding the target with ions. It can prepare thin films with various functions such as conductivity, optics, and ferroelectricity. It features high deposition rate and low substrate temperature rise, and is suitable for research in the fields of materials science and electronic engineering.
[0003] The aforementioned device lacks a fixture within the vacuum chamber of the coating instrument that can fix sample sheets of different sizes and thicknesses. As a result, when using existing magnetron sputtering coating instruments for coating processing in a vacuum chamber, the sample sheets are mostly placed directly on the stage inside the vacuum chamber. This not only results in a generally poor fixation effect, but also causes the bottom of the sample sheet to adhere to the bottom of the stage, making it impossible to perform good coating processing. In addition, due to the small space of the vacuum chamber, the operating space is limited, which limits the speed of clamping and fixing the sample sheets. Based on the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model designs a clamping fixture for sputtering coating. Utility Model Content

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This sputtering coating jig unlocks the pick-and-place tube window and the sealing window by screwing on the first fixing member, and opens the sealing window using the connecting member.

After clamping and fixing is completed, the moving stage is pushed to send the sample sheet into the sputtering coating vacuum chamber for sputtering coating treatment. This device is convenient for fixing sample sheets of different sizes and thicknesses. Attached Figure Description

By setting a second clamping seat 308, a slide bar 309, a second slider 310, a traction spring 311, and a traction handle 315, the positions of the second lower clamping cone 312, the second threaded post 313, and the second upper clamping cone 314 can be automatically adjusted according to sample pieces of different widths. With the assistance of the first lower clamping cone 305, the first threaded post 306, and the first upper clamping cone 307, the sample piece is clamped and fixed.
[0026] Please see Figure 4The bottom of the moving stage 2 is slidably connected to the fixed stage 201. The fixed stage 201 has side grooves 202 on both sides. The bottom of the fixed stage 201 is fixedly connected to the support base 203. The inner side of the moving stage 2 is provided with a limiting pulley, and the pulley on the inner side of the moving stage 2 is slidably connected to the side groove 202. The support base 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the sputtering coating vacuum chamber 1.
[0027] By setting a support base 203, the positions of the fixed stage 201 and the moving stage 2 are fixed, so that after the moving stage 2 is inserted into the sputtering coating vacuum chamber 1, the clamping mechanism 3 set above the moving stage 2 and the sample sheet can be located in the center position inside the sputtering coating vacuum chamber 1. By setting a fixed stage 201 and a side groove 202, the moving stage 2 can slide and pull inside the sputtering coating vacuum chamber 1 and the pick-and-place window 101, so that the clamping mechanism 3 can be sent out from inside the sputtering coating vacuum chamber 1 and the pick-and-place window 101, and the sample sheet can be fixed outside the sputtering coating vacuum chamber 1 using the clamping mechanism 3.
[0028] Working principle: When the sputtering coating jig is used, in the initial state, the pick-and-place window 101 is first set on the side wall of the sputtering coating vacuum chamber 1. The sealing window 103 outside the pick-and-place window 101 is rotated, installed, and fixed by the connector 102 and the first fixing member 105. A magnetron-controlled target gun 108 is also provided on the upper surface of the top cover 106, which is fixed at the top of the sputtering coating vacuum chamber 1 by the second fixing member 107, to facilitate sample pick-and-place and sputter coating. Inside the sputtering coating vacuum chamber 1, a magnetron-controlled target gun 108 is set... The bottom of the movable stage 2 is connected to a fixed stage 201 and a support base 203. The first slider 304 and the second slider 310 are slidably connected in the first clamping base 301 and the second clamping base 308 on the upper surface of the movable stage 2, respectively. The first slider 304 is provided with a first lower clamping cone 305, a first threaded post 306 and a first upper clamping cone 307. The second slider 310 is provided with a second lower clamping cone 312, a second threaded post 313 and a second upper clamping cone 314, so as to facilitate the clamping and fixing of sample pieces of different sizes.
[0029] When it is necessary to fix sample pieces of different sizes and thicknesses, firstly, the first fixing member 105 is turned to unlock the gap between the pick-up and drop-out window 101 and the sealing window 103, and the sealing window 103 is opened using the connecting member 102. Then, the moving stage 2 is pulled outward by the limiting of the fixing stage 201 and the side groove 202, which drives the clamping mechanism 3 to be pulled out from the inside of the sputtering coating vacuum chamber 1. At this time, according to the length of the sample piece, the screw head 303 is turned to drive the screw 302 to rotate, so that the two sets of first sliders 304 move in opposite directions to adjust the spacing. Then, according to the thickness of the sample piece, the first upper clamping cone 307 and the second upper clamping cone 314 are turned to move the first upper clamping cone 307 and the second upper clamping cone 314 on the first threaded post 306 and the second threaded post 313 respectively to adjust the spacing with the first lower clamping cone 305 and the second lower clamping cone 312 until the above structure is adjusted. Then, by hooking the traction handle 315, pull the second slider 310 outward, causing the second lower clamping cone 312 and the second upper clamping cone 314 to continue moving outward and stretching the traction spring 311. At this time, place the sample sheet horizontally between the two sets of the first lower clamping cone 305 and the first upper clamping cone 307, as well as the second lower clamping cone 312 and the second upper clamping cone 314. Finally, release the traction handle 315 to allow the traction spring 311 to retract and pull the second slider 310 inward to reset. The moving second slider 310 causes the second lower clamping cone 312 and the second upper clamping cone 314 to move inward. With the assistance of the first lower clamping cone 305 and the first upper clamping cone 307, the sample sheet is clamped and fixed. After the clamping and fixing is completed, push the moving stage 2 to send the sample sheet into the sputtering coating vacuum chamber 1 for sputtering coating treatment. This device is convenient for fixing sample sheets of different sizes and thicknesses.
