Background technology
Optical coating Application Areas fast-developing day by day and thereupon optical thin film is proposed more high performance demand, except strictness control coating process, evaporation parent material and technology of preparing thereof become a very crucial problem.For example require deposition material in evaporate process, not have particle and splash, do not have evolving gas, and can stablize and use good reproducibility.For this reason, the homogeneous deposition material of high purity, high-compactness, specific refractive index is continually developed application.But by the optical thin film of simple oxide compound evaporation, often internal stress is bigger, and anti-environmental stability is relatively poor, makes moist easily, also is difficult to satisfy the needed specific refractory power size of different application.Therefore, those composite oxides deposition materials are subjected to very big attention, such as Si-Al, La-Ti, La-Al and Al-Zr system etc.Because, people are according to the pre-provisioning request of specific refractory power size, and to the stressed condition of film and good environmental stability requirement, can reach by the kind of selecting mixed oxide and the proportioning that designs mixture, adopt certain Technology, make the deposition material of high-bulk-density, high stability, realize stablizing the purpose of film forming and application requiring.Those mixed oxides belong to the infusibility high-temperature material mostly, adopt conventional ceramic sintering process to be difficult to reach the fine and close requirement of homogeneous, often to adopt technology such as hot pressing or HIP sintering, Medium frequency induction sintering, microwave sintering or high temperature high vacuum sintering, be prepared into suitable evaporation parent material.With the deposition material of these technology preparation, be ceramic sintered bodies, in use, must be before the beginning evaporation allow its abundant fusion in that vacuum plating is indoor, to prevent the entrap bubble that splashes and eliminate in the material to be contained of molecule.This has prolonged the plated film cycle undoubtedly, has increased production cost.Therefore, optimal deposition material should be a fused crystalloid formed material in advance.So someone adopts the oxide ceramics that will sinter, be put into again in the great-power electronic bundle stove and heat, become the pre-fusion material.This two-step approach is made the technology of deposition material, complex operation production cost height.

2A kind of deposition material of making according to a certain ratio, about 1800 ℃ of fusing point.Traditional composite oxides deposition material, employing generation solid state reaction under the high temperature high vacuum forms sintered compact usually, but is not the crystalloid formed material of pre-fusion.Therefore, as the evaporation parent material time, must be earlier before the evaporation in the indoor elder generation of vacuum plating with electron beam by its long-time fully fusion, the entrap bubble that splashes and eliminate in the material to be contained of molecule when avoiding evaporating, can make complex operation like this, prolong the plated film cycle, increased production cost.
