Detailed Description
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a first embodiment of a plasma erosion resistant optical structure 10. The optical structure 10 is typically disposed on a sidewall of a vacuum chamber 8, and the plasma is operated within the vacuum chamber 8.
The optical structure 10 resistant to plasma erosion comprises a light-transmitting substrate 11 and a plasma-resistant optical film 12. One surface of the plasma-resistant optical film layer 12 faces the inside of the vacuum chamber 8, and the other surface of the plasma-resistant optical film layer 12 is disposed on a surface of the transparent substrate 11, for example, quartz, and the transparent substrate 11 corresponds to an observation window for monitoring plasma.
In the above description, the plasma-resistant optical film layer 12 is disposed on the light-transmitting substrate 11, and is not limited to the case where the plasma-resistant optical film layer 12 is directly deposited on the light-transmitting substrate 11, and other films can be deposited between the plasma-resistant optical film layer 12 and the light-transmitting substrate 11.
Referring to fig. 1 again, the plasma resistant optical film layer 12 includes at least one first optical film 121 and at least one second optical film 122, and the second optical film 122 is overlapped on the first optical film 121. Specifically, in this embodiment, the plasma resistant optical film layer 12 includes four first optical films 121 and three second optical films 122, and the first optical films 121 and the second optical films 122 are stacked alternately (refer to fig. 1). Therefore, the innermost film and the outermost film of the plasma-resistant optical film layer 12 are both the first optical film 121, the first optical film 121 of the innermost layer is disposed on the transparent substrate 11, and the first optical film 121 of the outermost layer is directly contacted with the plasma toward the vacuum chamber 8.
In this embodiment, the main material of the first optical film 121 is a metal oxide, fluoride or nitride with a density not less than 4.5, such as yttrium trifluoride (YF 3), erbium oxide (Er 2O 3), gadolinium oxide (Gd 2O 3), yttrium oxide (Y2O 3), yttrium Oxyfluoride (YOF), yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG, Y3Al5O 12), yac (Y4 Al2O 9) or EAG (Er 3Al5O 12). Since the first optical film 121 is a solid high-density structure, the first optical film 121 is more resistant to bombardment by ions or neutral atoms in the plasma. Thus, the plasma resistant optical film layer 12 helps to prevent plasma from eroding the light transmissive substrate 11, i.e., the viewing window from being eroded by the plasma.
Further, in this embodiment, the refractive index of the first optical film 121 is different from the refractive index of the second optical film 122. For example, the first optical film 121 is, for example, yttrium oxide (Y2O 3) with a refractive index of 1.9, and the second optical film 122 is, for example, titanium dioxide (TiO 2) with a refractive index of 2.4. Thus, the structure is formed by staggered arrangement from top to bottom: small refractive index optical film (yttria), large refractive index optical film (titania), small refractive index optical film (yttria), structure of large refractive index optical film (titania), small refractive index optical film (yttria), large refractive index optical film (titania), small refractive index optical film (yttria). Thus, the optical structure 10 resistant to plasma erosion has better light transmittance according to the optical principle.
In addition, referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of a plasma erosion resistant optical structure 20. The difference between the optical structure 20 resistant to plasma attack and the optical structure 10 resistant to plasma attack is that: the plasma resistant optical film layer 22 of the plasma erosion resistant optical structure 20 includes four second optical films 122. In other words, the number of the second optical films 122 is the same as the number of the first optical films 121. Thus, in order to make the outermost film of the plasma resistant optical film layer 22 the first optical film 121, the innermost film of the plasma resistant optical film layer 22 is the second optical film 122. The second optical film 122 of the innermost layer is disposed on the light-transmitting substrate 11.
In addition, in the second embodiment, the refractive index of the first optical film 121 of the plasma-resistant optical film layer 22 is also different from the refractive index of the second optical film 122. For example, the first optical film 121 of the plasma optical film 22 is, for example, yttrium oxide (Y2O 3) with a refractive index of 1.9, and the second optical film 122 of the plasma optical film 22 is, for example, amorphous silicon (Amorphous silicon, a-Si) with a refractive index of 3.5. Thus, the structure is formed by staggered arrangement from top to bottom: large refractive index optical film (amorphous silicon) →small refractive index optical film (titanium dioxide) →structure of large refractive index optical film (amorphous silicon) →small refractive index optical film (titanium dioxide) →large refractive index optical film (amorphous silicon) →optical structure of small refractive index optical film (titanium dioxide). Thus, the optical structure 20 with resistance to plasma erosion has better reflection characteristics according to the optical principle.
In the above, the first optical film 121 and the second optical film 122 are formed by physical vapor deposition (Physical Vapor Deposition, PVD) or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Wherein the physical vapor deposition method can be selected from electron beam bombardment evaporation (E-gun) or plasma ion assisted physical vapor deposition (PCVD), and the chemical vapor deposition method can be selected from Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) or Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD).
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a third embodiment of a plasma erosion resistant optical structure 30. The difference between the optical structure 30 resistant to plasma attack and the optical structure 10 resistant to plasma attack is that: the plasma resistant optical film layer 32 of the optical structure 30 resistant to plasma attack further comprises three third optical films 323, and the plasma resistant optical film layer 32 has only one first optical film 121, and the first optical film 121 is directly contacted with the plasma toward the vacuum chamber 8. The three third optical films 323 are stacked with the three second optical films 122 in a staggered manner, and the main materials of the third optical films 323 are, for example, silicon dioxide (SiO 2), titanium dioxide (TiO 2) or aluminum oxide (Al 2O 3), amorphous silicon (Amorphous silicon, a-Si) or silicon nitride (SiNx), and the densities of these materials are all less than 4, which is a low-density optical film. Since the outermost film of the plasma resistant optical film layer 32 is also the high density first optical film 121, and the surfaces of all the low density third optical films 323 do not need to be in contact with the plasma environment, the plasma erosion resistant optical structure 30 also helps to prevent plasma erosion of the transparent substrate 11, i.e. the viewing window from being eroded by plasma.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a fourth embodiment of a plasma erosion resistant optical structure 40. The difference between the plasma erosion resistant optical structure 40 and the plasma erosion resistant optical structure 20 is that: the plasma erosion resistant optical structure 40 further comprises a metal reflective layer 43, wherein the metal reflective layer 43 is disposed between the transparent substrate 11 and the plasma resistant optical film layer 22. The metal reflective layer 43 is mainly made of silver (Ag), for example, and has a low refractive index and a high reflectivity, so that the optical structure 40 with plasma erosion resistance has better reflective properties.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a fifth embodiment of a plasma erosion resistant optical structure 50. The difference between the plasma erosion resistant optical structure 50 and the plasma erosion resistant optical structure 10 is that: the plasma erosion resistant optical structure 50 further comprises a buffer layer 53, wherein the buffer layer 53 is disposed between the transparent substrate 11 and the plasma resistant optical film 12, and the buffer layer 53 is made of silicon nitride (SiNx), aluminum oxide (Al 2O 3), niobium pentoxide (Nb 2O 5) or zirconium dioxide (ZrO 2). It is noted that the expansion coefficient of the buffer layer 53 is between the expansion coefficient of the transparent substrate 11 and the expansion coefficient of the plasma resistant optical film layer 12. Thus, the buffer layer 53 can prevent the plasma-resistant optical film layer 12 from peeling due to the thermal stress of the vacuum chamber 8 caused by the process variation of heating or cooling.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a sixth embodiment of a plasma erosion resistant optical structure 60. The difference between the plasma erosion resistant optical structure 60 and the plasma erosion resistant optical structure 10 is that: the optical structure 60 resistant to plasma etching further comprises a low-density optical film 63, wherein the low-density optical film 63 can be a single layer or two low-density optical films with different refractive indexes overlapped, and the main material is silicon dioxide (SiO 2), titanium dioxide (TiO 2) or aluminum oxide (Al 2O 3), amorphous silicon (Amorphous silicon, a-Si) or silicon nitride (SiNx), and the density of the materials is less than 4, so that the optical structure 60 resistant to plasma etching further has better light transmittance. In addition, the low-density optical film 63 is disposed on the other surface of the transparent substrate 11, so that the low-density optical film 63 is not in contact with the plasma environment. Thus, the plasma erosion resistant optical structure 60 can also prevent plasma erosion of the transparent substrate 11 through the plasma erosion resistant optical film layer 12. It should be noted that the low-density optical film 63 may also be disposed on the optical structure 20 with resistance to plasma etching according to the optical principle, so as to further increase the reflectivity.
The optical structure resistant to plasma erosion has better erosion resistance to plasma, and the optical structure resistant to plasma erosion also has better light transmittance or better reflection characteristic.
The utility model is described above without limiting the scope of the claims. Modifications and variations which may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit or scope of the utility model are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
