Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to depositing a film on a substrate. In particular, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing uniform, isotropic stress in a sputtered film. [Previous Technology] Thin films are usually deposited on substrates by subtracting bonds from glow discharge electricity t, where ions that accelerate away from the plasma impinge on atoms and leave the target (source) material, so electrons are transferred to the substrate. Usually, a magnetically controlled electro-polymerization generator (magnetron) is used to increase the efficiency of difficult plating and reduce the minimum operating pressure. Etching is a preferred deposition technique because it can be used for any material 'because the energy of the deposited atoms facilitates film adhesion and because the substrate does not become very hot. It is often important to check the uniformity of film thickness across large substrates, and it is common practice to use one of two methods to achieve this uniformity. One way is to position the substrate at a radius that is relatively far from the diameter of the substrate and the target. In order to increase productivity and effectively use targets, many substrates are located in most parts of the hemisphere formed by this radius, and maintain a planetary (two-axis) type movement, so that the substrate occupies a relatively wide position on the hemisphere during deposition . The second method uses a rectangular dry material whose longer dimension is larger than the substrate. The substrate is arranged next to the target material and moves backward and forward across the handle in a linear transfer mode, so that the substrate is painted with a uniform strip-shaped film that lasts for several layers, much like painting with a roller. A film of 100 nanometers thick is usually deposited each time through the system. Sputtering is used to form various microelectronic structures. These structures have / patterned impeachment structures' are used for device testing in this application. For example, D. Smith and S. Alimondada's Photolithosraphically Patterned Spring Contact ^, U.S. Patent No. 5,613,861 (March 25, 1997), U.S. Patent No. 5,848,685 (Dec. 15, 1998 Japan) and international patent application PCT / US 96/08018 (applied on May 30, 1996), etc., are exposed, a lithographic patterned spring contact, the contact is "formed on a substrate for true electrical connection 2 Contact pads on the device. The spring contact also compensates for thermal and mechanical changes and other factors. The inherent stress gradient within the spring contact causes a free portion of the spring to bend upward and leave the substrate. A tin fixed portion The part is still fixed on the substrate and is a first contact electrically connected to the substrate. The spring contact is made of an elastic material and the free part flexibly contacts a second contact pad, so the two contact pads are contacted This patterning technology relies on the ability to control the mechanical stress uniformity of the film on the substrate to a very high degree. Stress is usually present in the film and is usually not needed. Indeed, many process control techniques have been used Planetary and linear transfer sputtering (and in other film deposition processes) minimize stress. Therefore, although many factors that affect stress are known, currently developed techniques are about virtually eliminating this stress. It is known to increase compressive stress in any vacuum process. In magnetron tube ore reduction, the low galvanic pressure increases the dimensional dimension, and the higher Lili produces tensile stress, and the higher pressure results in no mechanical strength on the membrane level & No. 4 200528571 Porous membrane. Magnetron sputtering deposition film by increasing plasma pressure to give stress gradient in sedimentation is a better technique currently used to implement patterned spring technology. Although how to minimize stress and how to make high Compressive or tensile stress is well known in the art. It is not known to maximize the stress and control the uniform high stress across large substrates. Maximizing the stress level and making it uniform are related to the manufacture of patterned springs. Structural requirements. It would be advantageous to be able to provide methods and equipment for manufacturing uniform, isotropic stress in a sputter coating. [Summary of the Invention] The present invention provides a method and equipment for manufacturing uniform and isotropic stress in a sputter coating. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention proposes a novel money sputter geometry and a new range of transfer speeds. It can allow to reach the maximum stress that the film can support, while avoiding the x-γ stress anisotropy, and prevent the stress unevenness across the substrate, where XY refers to the two orthogonal dimensions on the substrate plane. Preferred embodiments at least include a method and apparatus for depositing a film on a substrate, including at least the following steps: any continuous different discrete deposition angles of rotation of a vertical axis of the substrate on the substrate and / or the deposition source Depositing a continuous layer of film on the substrate; providing substantially the same amount of deposition from each of the other deposition angles as each other; wherein the overall deposited film is at different angles parallel to the substrate and rotating around the vertical axis, They are essentially isotropic in nature. The method and equipment disclosed herein further include the following steps: reducing the thickness of the continuous 5 200528571 layer film to the same distance as a property projection in a deposited material; wherein the property projection distance includes at least a distance, A related film property change from point to point throughout the film thickness over the distance, and the average property of the film will have little effect on the film thickness, and the change is caused by layers. In a preferred embodiment, the property projection distance is between a minimum of an atomic diameter of the deposited material to a maximum of ten atomic diameters for stress and strain, and a distance of one for magnetic properties. Within the maximum diameter of the magnetic domain. The method and apparatus disclosed herein further include moving each substrate in a planetary manner through one or more of the same source of deposition material; wherein each time the substrate passes through the sinking material as the substrate performs a planetary orbital motion In one of the sources, the substrate is rotated about the vertical axis of the substrate relative to the source of the deposited material through which it passes. In a preferred embodiment, each time the substrate passes through one of the n sources of deposition material, it rotates 360 / η degrees (where η is an integer greater than 2), or 90 degrees if η is equal to 2. . The method and equipment disclosed herein further include providing four sources of deposition material in a circle configuration; and positioning an associated anisotropic property of each source of the deposition material at a position that is 90 degrees away from the source of the previous deposition material; wherein when the When the substrate is detoured, each substrate maintains a fixed rotational orientation from a fixed point measurement system to its vertical axis; wherein the film is deposited in a laminated manner in which the anisotropy of continuous layers rotates 90 degrees. In a preferred embodiment, the source of the deposited material exhibits double symmetry in a related anisotropic property of the source of the deposited material. In a preferred embodiment, when the source exhibits double symmetry, for the anisotropy in the related properties of the film layer, the substrate rotation of 270 degrees is equal to the substrate rotation of 90 degrees. The method and equipment disclosed herein further include providing two sources of deposition material; wherein each source of deposition material has double symmetry; wherein the sources of deposition material are configured in relation to each other, so that the related material has a related anisotropic property. Rotate 90 degrees relative to the previous deposition material; where the substrate is measured from a fixed point as it orbits, each substrate maintains a fixed rotational orientation of its vertical axis; and where the film is anisotropic with a continuous layer Laminated by a 90 degree rotation. In a preferred embodiment, the source of the deposition material includes at least a linear magnetron sputtering target, and the deposition material diverges therefrom according to an approximately rectangular pattern with rounded corners. In a preferred embodiment, the distance along the vertical axis of a substrate between the surface of a substrate and the surface of a target diverging from the deposition material, and the material and the substrate when diverging from one end of the rectangular divergent pattern The distance between the closest edges is relatively small, so that a related property of the film is very uniform from the center of the substrate along the substrate to the edge of the substrate. The method and equipment disclosed herein further include creating a distance between a substrate surface and a target surface divergent from a deposition material along a vertical axis of the substrate, and a divergence from an end of the rectangular divergent circular case. The distance between the material and the closest edge of the substrate is relatively small, so that the film stress across the substrate in a direction parallel to the substrate is very uniform. 7 200528571 In a preferred embodiment, along the vertical axis of a substrate, the distance between the surface of the interposer and the surface of a target from which the deposition material diverges, the material when the divergence from one end of the rectangular divergent pattern, and an edge of the substrate The distance ratio is 1/4 or less. Preferred embodiments of the method and apparatus disclosed herein are more appropriately configured with at least one deposition source at any successively different deposition angle between the rotation of the substrate and a vertical axis on which the substrate is deposited; and a deposited film on the substrate To achieve a high level of stress in the film, the stress is isotropic on a film plane, and uniform on a substrate surface. The methods and equipment disclosed herein further include increasing the deposition thickness of the atomic layer from a long and substantially rectangular target each time a light material is sputtered using a cloth magnetron; Any periodic variation in the angle results in a minimal stress on the film. The method and equipment disclosed here 7F further includes that the substrate is continuously passed through a source to laminate the film 'substantially to rotate the substrate relative to the source, wherein the X-Y anisotropy in a film plane is eliminated. The methods and equipment disclosed herein further include using magnetron targets longer than those required for uniformity (when compared to a substrate diameter); achieving uniform film stress along a major axis of the target. The method and equipment disclosed herein further include providing a driving mechanism including a peripheral chain arranged around a ring substrate, and a chain extending from one to a fixed central sprocket, in order to travel at a high speed in a basic medium. The closest layer consists of a pair of sources and a continuous layer, in which a large area is tightly distributed to a single bombardment and impact. The thickness is 90 degrees; the thickness of the film can be tied to the substrate, which can be given to the substrate. Embodiment] This article proposes a novel sputtering geometry and a conveying speed, which together allow the maximum stress that the film can support, which is the same as the χ · γ stress anisotropy, and prevents the stress unevenness of the entire substrate. The film thickness stress oscillates. The present invention is based in part on the recognition of the important determinants of the incident stress of atoms deposited on the substrate. The larger the sweep (away from the vertical), the more tension, or if it is excessive, it will cause porosity. In planetary motion, at different points on the substrate within a radius from the planetary axis and at different azimuths at the points, it is bound to experience different time series and therefore different film stresses. For the purposes of this article, the azimuth angle refers to the rotation in the plane of the film, from + X to + Υ to -X to -γ; and the film stress is always biaxial along the two axes X and γ. Membrane stress can be anisotropic, i.e., different from Υ in one particular, and may be non-uniform in the X or Υ direction across the substrate or through the film. In the linear transfer, the azimuth of the parallel substrate transfer will undergo a deposition angle sequence different from the vertical direction at a time. In addition, during delivery, a single pass usually deposits 100 nanometers or about 300 single (single layer) films. When passing through, the incident angle will be swept from the substrate close to the material, changing to that when the substrate is directly perpendicular to the target, and then swept low when the substrate leaves. Therefore, a new layer of a layer of alternating stress levels avoids and causes the substrate to transport a specific deposition angle XYZ inward through the keratomic angle, that is, the thickness of a fixed point} c when passing through the atomic layer in a linear manner is so low that 200528571 Prevents up to a circular rotation, but the speed but in a solid and through its long axis so that the low * is not greater than the over-target material sent to the relative substrate to the opposite side also causes the disk and * therefore the first turn The material can be as large as the maximum stress. In the geometry disclosed in this article (see Figure 1), the substrates 14 and 4 are arranged on a rotating disk 13 and the ring substrate and the disk are rotated around the axis of the disk at the same time around the axis of the disk. The same angle is rotated in the opposite direction relative to a fixed point, so the substrate is not rotated relative to the pip. The substrate rests on the center of each of the one or more rectangular dry materials at a distance of 19 (see Figure 2). The position of each handle is ~ 1 disk radius' and it has a length much larger than that of the substrate 14. The low grazing incidence deposition drop caused by the close to 10 of the end of the dry material will cause uneven stress along this direction. The length of the target is usually required to achieve uniform film thickness. A particularly effective embodiment uses two dry materials positioned at mutually perpendicular angles, so that the substrate 14 will perform 15 passes each time the disc 3 rotates, wherein each time the χ and γ of the substrate 14 pass through The direction is reversed. This film lamination method averages out the conventional linear X-Υ anisotropy. When the disk rotates around a fixed point, it has substantially the same angular velocity but the opposite direction (relative to the disk). The uniformity of the film thickness is because the point at the inner edge of the substrate 14 (toward the center) will be the same as the outside. The linear velocity of the same edge point traverses the dry material, and each pass will accumulate the same length of deposition. Fig. 1 shows that the rotary disk 13 has a ring base plate 16 around its own axis 16 at the same time. Figure 1 also shows the rectangular position where the two angles are perpendicular to each other. Each rotation of the disk 13 will double each wafer 14 through the dry material. When a wafer 14 passes under a rectangular target 15, its demand 10 200528571 orientation 18 is also shown in the first figure. For this example, the wafer is rotated 90 degrees to obtain the same orientation 18 (relative to a fixed point) under each target. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other configurations related to the invention may be provided. For example, four targets can be placed in a circle on the disc, each target being spaced 90 degrees from the next. An ion source 17 can be seated at a point around the disk 13 to bombard the membrane once each time it passes, and thus impart a compressive stress when needed. 1 and 2 show a position of the ion source 17. Alternatively, the substrate 14 may be electrically biased with a DC power source (such as conductive) or a radio frequency (such as insulation) to accelerate the bombardment of ions away from the ionization generated by the sputtering source, without the need for ion grabbing. However, it is difficult to transmit and contain RF bias when the substrate is in motion. During the single rotation of the disc 13, each substrate I * will undergo periodic changes in several process parameters of the shadow response, such as the incident deposition angle, the azimuth angle to the long axis of the target, and the ion bombardment flux. Because an object of the present invention is to prevent these changes from causing a periodic level of film stress, the period of this change is changed to the number of atomic intervals in terms of thickness, so the developed microstructure does not show a change . At the same time, there is a practical need to deposit films at as high a rate as possible while increasing manufacturing capacity and minimizing the harmful effects of co-deposited impurities from background gases in the vacuum chamber. Therefore, it is necessary to rotate the disk at a higher speed than necessary. For example, at a time-averaged deposition rate of typically 1 nanometer / second (3.6 mm / hour or about 3 monolayers / second), the disk is preferably 1 to 3 revolutions per second or 60 to 60 minutes per minute. Rotates at 180 rpm. This system is about 10 times faster than conventional planetary deposition, and about 100 times faster than the transit time in online 200528571 sexual transmission. In an alternative embodiment, it is known that the linear transfer geometry reaches a buildup of a single layer quantity. It can also add a base to the end of each pass to achieve X-Y laminate. Various ways of forming planetary motion couplings have been developed and tied to one of the relevant gears, key bars or friction rollers of Zhongtong to rotate the plate (planet) and the disk (orbit), and thus connect to a vacuum A rotary feedthrough (driven by an external motor). Separate planets and drives can also be incorporated using a coaxial rotating feedthrough. A new and simple method for coupling the channel to the planetary drive in a chain is disclosed herein for use in the present invention. Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of a planetary system according to the present invention (arranged in Figure 1) in a schematic diagram. In this way, first a single rotary feedthrough will drive 1 3 'so that all The base plates on the platforms 22 rotate together. Finally, a second chain gear 25 provided in one of the plate shafts 23 is connected to a fixed chain 27 of the same diameter in the center of the plate i 3 via a key bar 26. This As a result, the substrate rotates at the same angular velocity with respect to the disk, but in the opposite direction to the ring. The present invention has the fewest moving parts and hardware, which has the maximum robustness at high speed. The chain-to-chain ratio on the second chain can be Changed to provide inconsistencies in planetary and orbital angular velocities and in the configuration of Figure 3, the substrate did not rotate relative to the source of the material as it passed through the source, thus avoiding possible non-uniform radii in the base during deposition ·. An equivalent gear coupling can also be used. It can also be used to screw the track on the base wall and the disk when using M, and the second gear rotates due to the gear. Then the deposition plate 12 2 00528571 Examples The fixture implementing the present invention is installed in a conventional 10 · 7 Torr (τ〇γγ) stainless steel or aluminum high vacuum chamber, which has an elastomer seal and a cryopump system, such as by Leybold and other vendors. The system includes at least two rectangular magnetron sputtering sources (such as those manufactured by Leibold) and an ion trap (such as the Kaufman model manufactured by Commonweath) with a 6-inch diameter ion beam, configured as described above.
