Description
- The present invention relates to a magnetron sputtering target.
- A magnetron sputtering technology has been widely used in many fields, such as surface decoration of materials, surface modification of materials, and manufacturing of optical devices and electronic devices. Magnetron sputtering targets can be divided into classes of a plain magnetron sputtering target and a column magnetron sputtering target by structure, and can also be divided into classes of a balancing target and a non-balancing target by distribution of the magnetic field. Material used in a plain magnetron sputtering target is advantageous because of simple processing and convenient installation, and therefore can be used for mass production of products to be coated. Generally, the sputtering target material, such as titanium (Ti), silver (Ag) and platinum (Pt), is expensive, which increases the manufacturing cost.
- The conventional process of the magnetron sputtering for coating is shown in
FIG. 1 . Under a vacuum condition, when atarget material 5 is applied with a negative potential and the work piece to be coated is applied with a positive potential, an electric field 1 (shown by {right arrow over (E)}) is established in the vacuum chamber where thetarget material 5 is located. Then, a process carrier gas (Ar) is introduced into the vacuum chamber and discharging phenomenon occurs due to the positive potential and the negative potential under a certain pressure and temperature. Electrons (e) move along a circular orbit and impinge the molecules of the process carrier gas (Ar), thus producing plasma discharging. Meanwhile, the magnet on the magnetron sputtering target generates a magnetic field 2, which is applied to the electric field 1 and thus enhances the vapor deposition and the plasma discharging. The positive ions in the plasma are attracted to the cathode and impinge onto the surface of the cathode as a result of action of the electric field and the magnetic field, such that the atoms of the cathode target material is sputtered out and attached to the surface of the anode. The cathode mask shield is used for blocking the non-sputtering area of the cathode from plasma discharging, so that the ions flying to the cathode impacttarget material 5 and portions of the cathode target material will be sputtered out and deposited, forming a thin film of the cathode target material on the surface of the anode (the work piece to be coated), and thus the work piece on the anode is coated. - However, the uniformity of the plasma on the surface of the cathode will be affected by an end effect at the turning of the orbit of the electrons in the plasma. At two ends of the orbit of the electrons in the plasma, plasma is intensive, sputtering effect is good, and more sputtering target materials are etched. While in the middle portion of the sputtering target material, less target material is etched, producing a phenomenon that etching in the middle portion of the target material and that in the ends of the target material are not uniform, thus shortening the service life of the target. The profile of the etched target is shown in
FIG. 2 in a cross-section view. - An object of the present invention is to provide a magnetron sputtering target solving the problems of the uniformity of etching, low utilization rate of target materials and short service life of the sputtering target materials in the conventional magnetron sputtering technology.
- In order to achieve the above objects, an embodiment of the present invention provides a plain magnetron sputtering target, comprising a target material, a target back plate, an insulating pad, a target cathode frame, one or more leading pole piece adjustment pads, and one or more juxtaposed magnets, which are stacked in order. The leading pole piece adjustment pad is disposed between the insulating pad and the magnet.
- Preferably, the leading pole piece adjustment pads may be disposed between the insulating pad and the magnet, between the insulating pad and the target cathode frame, or at the both positions.
- Preferably, when the leading pole piece adjustment pad is disposed between the target cathode frame and the magnet, the leading pole piece adjustment pad may be fixed on the upper surface of the magnet, or on the surface of the target cathode frame opposite to the magnet, or leading pole piece adjustment pads are disposed on the above two surfaces, and they can be disposed opposite to each other or at least partially overlap with each other.
- Preferably, when the leading pole piece adjustment pad is disposed between the insulating pad and the target cathode frame, the leading pole piece adjustment pad may be fixed on the target cathode frame, or on the insulating pad, or leading pole piece adjustment pads are disposed on the two surfaces.
- The embodiments of the present invention reduces the etching rate difference between the ends and the middle portion of the target materials by adjusting the uniformity of the magnetic field of the magnetron sputtering target and adjusting the uniformity of the plasma on the surface of the ends of the target materials, thereby shortening the etching difference between the ends and the middle portion of the target material and prolonging the service life of the target materials. The magnetron sputtering target further can be used in a multi-target magnetron sputtering machine for manufacturing a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD).

piece adjustment pads 11 are made of a metal material that is magnet conductor.

In the present embodiment, the effect of the leading pole piece adjustment pads in adjusting the uniformity of the magnetic field generated by themagnet 10 is more significant. Here the leading polepiece adjustment pads 11 are disposed corresponding to therespective magnets 10. - On the basis of embodiment 4, leading pole
piece adjustment pads 11 are further added between theinsulating pad 7 and thetarget cathode frame 8 in the present embodiment. As shown inFIG. 7 , the added leading polepiece adjustment pads 11 produce more fine adjusting effect on the magnetic field, so that the magnetic field in the vacuum chamber where thetarget material 5 is located is more uniform, and thus the non-uniformity of the target material being etched is improved. The distribution of the leading polepiece adjustment pads 11 on the target cathode frame is shown inFIG. 8 . Here the leading polepiece adjustment pads 11 are disposed corresponding to therespective magnets 10. - By adopting the device according to the above embodiments of the present invention, in the frame structure of the magnetron sputtering target, the uniformity of the magnetic field generated by the
magnets 10 is changed and the sputtering rate of thetarget material 5 is controlled by disposing the leading polepiece adjustment pads 11 on the plain magnetron sputtering target, such that thetarget material 5 is etched uniformly, and the utilization rate of the target material is improved. - With experiments, the profile of the
target material 5 in etching is shown inFIG. 9 , it can be seen that the sputtering target material is consumed more uniformly, the phenomenon that a part of the target material is over-etched is avoided, and thus the service life of the sputtering target material is prolonged. - The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways.
