トロンスパッタが維持出来る様にしたものである。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] The present invention provides a sputtering device for a ferromagnetic target by making the magnet of the target support a double structure in order to improve target consumption efficiency and reduce the number of target replacements. , magnetron sputtering can be maintained even if the target is made thicker.
本発明は、スパッタリング装置の改良に係り。 The present invention relates to improvements in sputtering equipment.
特に強磁性体をターゲツト材として用いた際に。Especially when using ferromagnetic materials as target materials.
ターゲット厚を厚くしてもマグネトロンスパッタの維持
を可能にしたターゲット支持体の構造に関するものであ
る。This invention relates to a structure of a target support that enables magnetron sputtering to be maintained even when the target thickness is increased.

トロンスパッタ法の開発により成膜速度は数〜士数倍に
改善された。Gun sputtering equipment used to have the disadvantage of being slower in film formation than other film formation techniques such as vapor deposition, but with the development of magnetron sputtering, the film formation speed has been improved several times to several times.
その結果スパッタリング法は、薄膜形成技術の中でもさ

。As a result, the sputtering method is used in various fields among thin film forming technologies, and $1) 1! The target, which is the base material of the metal alloy, has a wide range of materials such as metal 2 alloys and oxides.

面に発生ずる円弧状磁界12により収束され、密度の高
いプラズマ状態となる。FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the main parts of a conventional magnetron sputtering apparatus. A target 3 is supported in a vacuum vessel 1 in which an exhaust device 2 is installed, and a target support 5 has a built-in magnet 4 consisting of an annular magnet and a central cylindrical magnet magnetically coupled by a yoke. To form a thin film by supporting the substrates 6 facing each other on which a film is to be formed, the inside of the vacuum chamber 1 is heated to a pressure of several to several + mTor with Ar (argon) gas, for example, and a power supply is applied between the substrate support 7 and the target support 5. 10, a high voltage is applied and discharged. The sputtering gas ions generated at this time are converged by the arcuate magnetic field 12 generated on the surface of the target 3 by the magnet 4, resulting in a high-density plasma state.
この様にターデフ1〜表面に密度の高いスパッタガスイ
オンが衝突し、ターゲット物質がスパッタされ基板表面
に大きな成膜速度で薄膜を形成している。In this manner, high-density sputtering gas ions collide with the surface of TARDEF 1, and the target material is sputtered to form a thin film on the substrate surface at a high deposition rate.
ところでターゲットとして強磁性体を用いた場合、ター
ゲットがヨークの役割をしてしまいターゲット表面に密
度の高いプラズマを形成する円弧状磁界が発生しなくな
る。即ち、マグネトロンスパッタが出来なくなり、高い
成膜速度が得られない。By the way, when a ferromagnetic material is used as the target, the target acts as a yoke, and an arcuate magnetic field that forms high-density plasma on the target surface is no longer generated. That is, magnetron sputtering cannot be performed and a high film formation rate cannot be obtained.
強磁性体ターゲソ1の場合でもマグネトロンスパッタを
行なためには、(1)磁石をより強力なものにする。(
2)ターゲットの厚さを薄くすることで対処できる。し
かし、(1)の方法では、ターゲットと磁石間に強力な
吸引力が働きターゲットの交換が困難となり、また磁石
にも限界があり、ある厚さまでしかターゲット厚を厚く
することが出来ない。In order to perform magnetron sputtering even in the case of the ferromagnetic target device 1, (1) the magnet should be made stronger; (
2) This can be solved by reducing the thickness of the target. However, in method (1), a strong attractive force is generated between the target and the magnet, making it difficult to replace the target, and the magnet also has a limit, and the target thickness can only be increased up to a certain thickness.
(2)の方法では、ターゲット交換頻度が増えて、装置
の稼働率が低下する。In method (2), the frequency of target replacement increases and the operating rate of the device decreases.
以上の様な欠点が強磁性体ターゲットの場合に発生する
。The above-mentioned drawbacks occur in the case of a ferromagnetic target.
また、マグネトロンスパッタでは、第4図に示す様に、
ターゲット中心部と外周部はスパッタされずに残ってし
まい、ターゲットの利用効率が悪いという欠点もあった
。In addition, in magnetron sputtering, as shown in Figure 4,
Another drawback was that the target center and outer periphery remained unsputtered, resulting in poor target utilization efficiency.
第1図は本発明のスパッタリング装置のターゲット支持
体構造図である。図中21はターゲット。FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of a target support of a sputtering apparatus of the present invention. 21 in the figure is the target.
22.23は略円環状磁石である。22 and 23 are approximately annular magnets.
第1図に示す様に2本発明のスパッタリング装置では、
ターゲットをディスク状にし磁石を入れ子の様な2重構
造としたものである。As shown in FIG. 1, the sputtering apparatus of the present invention has two
The target is disk-shaped and the magnets have a nested double structure.

がスパッタされ、ターゲットの利用効率が上がり、また
膜厚分布も良くなる。The magnet 22 of the present invention needs to have enough strength to saturate the biferromagnetic target, but it is not necessary to generate an arcuate magnetic field on the surface. As a result, the target can be replaced easily, and the target thickness can be increased. On the other hand, if the target is not saturated, the magnetic field generated by the magnet 23 passes through the target, but since the target is saturated, an arcuate magnetic field 24 is generated in the space on the target surface, making magnetron sputtering possible. Furthermore, since the target is disk-shaped, the erosion (the area to be sputtered) has the same shape as the target, and almost the entire surface of the Kudesoto is sputtered, increasing the target utilization efficiency and improving the film thickness distribution.

ルドである。FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a sputtering apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. A disk-shaped target and a set of annular magnets 3 magnetically coupled by a yoke to saturate the target are placed in a vacuum vessel 31 having an evacuation device 32.
4 and another set of annular magnets 35 magnetically coupled by a yoke to generate an arcuate magnetic field. 39 is a shutter, and 42 is an earth shield.

マは磁石35により発生した円弧状磁界41により密度
が高くなり、高成膜速度で薄膜を形成出来る。When forming a thin film, a sputtering atmosphere gas is introduced into the vacuum chamber 1, and a high voltage is applied between the substrate support 3 and the target support 36 by the power source 40 to cause discharge. The density of the plasma is increased by the arcuate magnetic field 41 generated by the magnet 35, and a thin film can be formed at a high deposition rate.
従来Fe(フェライト)ターゲットでマグネトロンスパ
ックを行っていた磁石(SmCo磁石)を用いた場合タ
ーゲット板厚は最大5mmで3 amスパックされた状
態で交換していたが1本発明では。Conventionally, when a magnet (SmCo magnet) was used for magnetron spucking with an Fe (ferrite) target, the target plate thickness was at most 5 mm and the target was replaced after being spucked for 3 am, but in the present invention.
板厚を例えば2倍の10作にすると、81mスパッタし
た段階で交換すれば良く、ターゲットの使用期間は2.
7倍となる。For example, if the thickness of the plate is doubled to 10, the target can be replaced after 81 m of sputtering, and the target usage period is 2.
It will be 7 times more.
ターゲットの厚さは、2組の磁石34.35の磁石の強
さとの関係で決定する。即ち、ターゲット厚が厚すぎて
磁石34で飽和出来ない場合磁石35の一部の磁界をタ
ーゲットの飽和に使用すれば良い。The thickness of the target is determined in relation to the strength of the two sets of magnets 34 and 35. That is, if the target is too thick to be saturated by the magnet 34, part of the magnetic field of the magnet 35 may be used to saturate the target.
一方、ターゲットの大きさを基板の大きさに合せ、かつ
、クーゲット支持体中心と基板中心を一致させるとエロ
ージョンと基板の大きさがほとんど等しくなるため基板
を回転させることはなしに膜厚分布の良い膜を形成出来
、スパッタリング装置の機構が単純化する。On the other hand, if you match the size of the target to the size of the substrate and also match the center of the Kugett support with the center of the substrate, the erosion and substrate sizes will be almost equal, so you can achieve a good film thickness distribution without having to rotate the substrate. A film can be formed, and the mechanism of the sputtering device is simplified.
本実施例では、磁石として永久磁石を用いたが。In this example, a permanent magnet was used as the magnet.
電磁石を用いても良いことは言うまでもないことである
。電磁石を用いると、上述のターゲット厚が変った時に
すぐに磁界の大きさを調整出来る。It goes without saying that an electromagnet may also be used. By using an electromagnet, the magnitude of the magnetic field can be adjusted immediately when the target thickness described above changes.
また、磁石構造として円環状磁石を使用したが。In addition, an annular magnet was used as the magnet structure.
略円環状であれば良く、閉多角形の磁石を使用する事も
出来る。It only needs to be approximately annular, and closed polygonal magnets can also be used.
本発明によればターゲットをディスク形状にし。 According to the present invention, the target is formed into a disk shape.
磁石を2重構造にすることにより、ターゲットを飽和さ

ーゲットを長時間使用でき、さらにターゲットをエロー
ジョン領域と同じ形状のディスク形状としているため、
膜厚分布の良い膜を高成膜速度で形成できる。By making the magnet into a double structure, the roles are divided between the magnet that saturates the target and the magnet that generates the magnetic field that increases the plasma density, making it possible to maintain magnetron sputtering even when the target thickness is increased. can be used for a long time, and the target is a disk shape that is the same as the erosion area.
A film with good thickness distribution can be formed at a high deposition rate.
