Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the utilizing efficiency of a target for magnetron, sputtering and to develop the target having excellent economic efficiency by increasing the thickness of the target in the specific position including the position where consumption is large and decreasing the thickness in the other part. CONSTITUTION:The degree of consumption owing to a difference in the intensity of a magnetic field is largely different with a target for magnetron sputtering. The thickness of the target in the part including a part 3 where the intensity of a magnetic field is high and the consumption of the target is large and having a slightly wider area than said part is made thicker than the part where the intensity of the magnetic field is weak with a target 1 formed of Au, Cu, Al, Ta, Ta2O5, etc. adhered onto a holding material consisting of a water cooling plate 2 formed of Cu. The utilizing efficiency at which the target 1 is consumed by sputtering is improved and the economic efficiency of the costly target is improved.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a target for magnetron sputtering, and its purpose is to provide a highly economical target.In recent years, film formation by magnetron sputtering has been widely used. ing. This is because magneto/sputtering has excellent step coverage and can form films at low temperatures and high speeds. However, since magnetron sputtering is used by generating a magnetic field near the target in principle, the sputtering yield is large at locations where the magnetic field is strong, and therefore target wear increases at specific locations, and conversely, where there is no magnetic field, the sputtering yield is large. This method has the disadvantage that the target material is not used efficiently because the target is hardly consumed at the position.

To specifically explain this poor utilization efficiency using Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, Fig. 1 (a) and (t)) show the condition of the conventionally used Targetera) l and water cooling plate 2 before use. FIG. 2(a), Φ) is a perspective view and a sectional view after use. It can be seen from FIG. 2 that the target is consumed only at specific locations where the magnetic field strength is strong (3 in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b)). The utilization efficiency of this target depends on the structure and strength of the magnet that generates the magnetic field, but is generally about 30%. To overcome this drawback, there is a method of changing the magnetic field distribution near the target instead of fixing it to widen the target's consumption area and increase utilization efficiency, but this method requires a complicated magnetic field generation structure and is expensive. This is undesirable because it does not result in a drastic change and the film thickness distribution also changes slightly.

In order to fundamentally eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention increases the target's utilization efficiency by increasing the thickness of the target at specific locations, including locations where the target is largely consumed by sputtering. The thickness of the target is increased in locations where there is a lot of wear and tear, but this is done to account for misalignment when the target is attached to the device and changes in the magnetic field over time.
It is important to increase the thickness of the target over a rather wide area, including the location where the wear is large.

In each of FIGS. 3(a), Φ), and (C), the thickness of the target is increased at specific positions including positions where target wear is large. In (a), the thickness of the target is increased toward the surface to be sputtered, and in (b), the thickness is increased toward the surface not to be sputtered. In case (1)), it is necessary to change the shape of the water-cooled plate to match the target shape, but the target surface to be sputtered is horizontal. (C) has the same concept as (a), but is a target made by newly bonding the same material only to the part where the thickness is to be increased.
