Description

鎳合金靶材之製造方法Nickel alloy target manufacturing method

本發明係有關於一種靶材之製造方法,詳言之,係關於一種鎳合金靶材之製造方法。The present invention relates to a method for producing a target, and more particularly to a method for producing a nickel alloy target.

參考中國大陸專利第200510104828.2號及第200610076274.4號,其揭示一種粉末冶金的製造技術,其係先以球磨方式將高純度之鎳(Ni)粉及鎢(W)粉混合後,裝入石墨模具中,利用放電等離子燒結法於800~1200℃、壓力控制在30~80MPa、持溫10分鐘,將粉末燒結緻密製得Ni-W合金。該等專利雖能製作出緻密之Ni-W合金,但其採用傳統的粉末混合方式來混合Ni粉與W粉,因Ni密度為8.9g/cm3 ,W密度為19.3g/cm3 ,二者密度相差一倍以上,在利用球磨混粉過程中,密度較大之W粉易與密度較小Ni粉分離,造成粉末混合不均,進一步影響燒結後合金之成分均勻性。Referring to the Chinese Patent No. 200510104828.2 and No. 200610076274.4, it discloses a manufacturing technique of powder metallurgy, which firstly mixes high-purity nickel (Ni) powder and tungsten (W) powder by ball milling, and then loads it into a graphite mold. The Ni-W alloy is obtained by sintering plasma sintering at 800 to 1200 ° C, pressure control at 30 to 80 MPa, and holding temperature for 10 minutes. Although these patents can produce a dense Ni-W alloy, they are mixed with Ni powder and W powder by a conventional powder mixing method because the density of Ni is 8.9 g/cm 3 and the density of W is 19.3 g/cm 3 . The difference in density is more than double. In the process of ball milling, the dense powder W is easily separated from the smaller density Ni powder, resulting in uneven powder mixing, which further affects the uniformity of the alloy composition after sintering.

另外,上述二專利之方法係採用傳統粉末冶金製程,其必需使用價格昂貴之高純度(純度99.99%)且粒度細小(粒度約在3~6μm)之Ni粉及W粉,因此所製備之Ni-W合金成本較高。再者,上述二專利中僅係以球磨方式將Ni粉及W粉進行混粉,Ni粉及W粉在混合時並未合金化,經過燒結後,Ni粉及W粉雖因燒結反應而緻密,但並未完全合金化,仍可明顯觀察到Ni粉及W粉單獨存在。In addition, the method of the above two patents adopts a conventional powder metallurgy process, and it is necessary to use expensive Ni powder and W powder having high purity (purity of 99.99%) and fine particle size (having a particle size of about 3 to 6 μm), so the prepared Ni -W alloys cost more. Furthermore, in the above two patents, only the Ni powder and the W powder are mixed by ball milling, and the Ni powder and the W powder are not alloyed during mixing. After sintering, the Ni powder and the W powder are dense due to the sintering reaction. However, it is not completely alloyed, and it is still apparent that Ni powder and W powder are separately present.

此外,在一般習知粉末製程中,所需之粉末混合時間較長,約費時8~24小時不等,且粉末在混合過程中,容易因高熔點粉末密度較一般金屬粉末大,造成粉末混合不均,進而影響燒結後靶材之成分均勻性。並且,在傳統熔煉製程中,熔湯澆鑄、冷卻後,尚需再進行熱軋延以細化組織,同樣需費時數十小時。其中,在傳統鑄造製程之凝固過程中,容易有縮孔、成分偏析及組織粗大等缺點,故需再以費時之熱軋步驟消除鑄錠之偏析,並細化組織。In addition, in the conventional powder process, the required powder mixing time is long, which takes about 8 to 24 hours, and the powder is easily mixed due to the high melting point powder density compared with the general metal powder during the mixing process, resulting in powder mixing. Unevenness, which in turn affects the uniformity of the composition of the target after sintering. Moreover, in the conventional smelting process, after the molten soup is cast and cooled, it is necessary to further perform hot rolling to refine the structure, which also takes several hours. Among them, in the solidification process of the conventional casting process, there are disadvantages such as shrinkage cavities, composition segregation, and coarse structure, so it is necessary to eliminate segregation of the ingot and refine the structure by a time-consuming hot rolling step.

因此,有必要提供一創新且富有進步性之鎳合金靶材之製造方法,以解決上述問題。Therefore, it is necessary to provide an innovative and progressive method of manufacturing nickel alloy targets to solve the above problems.

本發明提供一種鎳合金靶材之製造方法,包括以下步驟:(a)提供鎳金屬及至少一第一合金元素;(b)進行一真空熔煉步驟,以形成一合金溶液;(c)霧化該合金溶液,以形成鎳合金粉體;(d)進行一篩分步驟,以選取小於一設定粒度之鎳合金粉體;及(e)成型及緻密化該鎳合金粉體,以形成鎳合金靶材。The invention provides a method for manufacturing a nickel alloy target, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a nickel metal and at least a first alloying element; (b) performing a vacuum melting step to form an alloy solution; (c) atomizing The alloy solution is formed to form a nickel alloy powder; (d) performing a sieving step to select a nickel alloy powder having a smaller than a set size; and (e) forming and densifying the nickel alloy powder to form a nickel alloy Target.

本發明鎳合金靶材之製造方法不需使用價格較為昂貴之Ni粉體及W粉體為原料、不需使用相當昂貴的電漿燒結設備進行Ni、W粉體的燒結,並且不需經冷軋製程及在氣氛保護下進行再結晶退火處理,即可快速、大量製備製得鎳合金靶材,故製造方法簡單且可減少製造時間。再者,本發明之製造方法所製得之鎳合金靶材無成分偏析、具細緻晶粒、晶粒分佈均勻且完全合金化,故具有較高之濺鍍品質。The method for manufacturing the nickel alloy target of the invention does not need to use the relatively expensive Ni powder and W powder as raw materials, does not need to use relatively expensive plasma sintering equipment for sintering of Ni and W powders, and does not need to be cooled. The rolling process and the recrystallization annealing treatment under the atmosphere protection can quickly and mass-prepare the nickel alloy target, so the manufacturing method is simple and the manufacturing time can be reduced. Furthermore, the nickel alloy target produced by the manufacturing method of the present invention has no component segregation, fine crystal grains, uniform crystal grain distribution and complete alloying, so that it has high sputtering quality.
