    摘要: A sputtering target comprising a sputtering material and having a non-planar sputtering surface prior to erosion by use in a sputtering system, the non-planar sputtering surface having a circular shape and comprising a central axis region including a concave curvature feature at the central axis region. The central axis region having a wear profile after erosion by use in a sputtering system for at least 1000 kWhrs including a protuberance including a first outer circumferential wear surface having a first slope. A reference, protruding convex curvature feature for a reference target after sputtering use for the same time includes a second outer circumferential wear surface having a second slope. The protuberance provides a sputtered target having reduced shadowing relative to the reference, protruding convex curvature feature, wherein the first slope is less steep than a second slope.

    摘要: A method for the deposition of a metal layer on a substrate (1) uses a cold plasma inside an enclosure (7) heated to avoid the formation of a metal deposit at its surface. The enclosure has an inlet (21) and an outlet (22) for the substrate with a source of metal vapor between them, made up of an electrode to form a plasma (6) with the substrate or a separate electrically conducting element as a counter-electrode. The deposition metal is introduced in the liquid state in a retention tank (8) and is maintained as a liquid at an essentially constant level during the formation of the metal layer on the substrate. An Independent claim is included for the device used to put this method of coating a substrate into service.

    摘要: A plasma processing apparatus includes a first electrode, a second electrode disposed to face the first electrode, a chamber, a first high-frequency power supply, a direct-current power supply, and a gas supply source. The plasma processing apparatus generates first plasma to form a film of a reaction product on the second electrode by causing the first high-frequency power supply to supply first high-frequency power to the second electrode and causing the gas supply source to supply a first gas into the chamber; and generates second plasma to sputter the film of the reaction product by causing the first high-frequency power supply to supply the first high-frequency power to the second electrode, causing the direct-current power supply to supply direct-current power to the second electrode, and causing the gas supply source to supply a second gas into the chamber.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention generally include a sputtering target capable of substantially reducing the amount of wasted material associated with conventional sputtering targets. In one embodiment, the sputtering target includes a fluidized bed of sputtering material that constantly maintains a planar sputtering surface throughout the sputtering process. In one embodiment, the fluidized bed of sputtering material is either periodically or constantly supplied with sputtering material to both maintain a planar sputtering surface and reduce downtime of the sputtering equipment.

    摘要: An apparatus is described for depositing a thin film (9) of compound materials on selected substrates (48) in an evacuable coating chamber. This apparatus includes a rotating primary surrogate magnetron cathode surface (19) which acts to receive, in-situ, material to be sputtered. Vapor crucibles (2) expose the rotating cathode surface (19) to material vapors (8) which condense on the thermally cooled cathode surface (19) to combine with other coatings on the cathode and are thence rotated through the associated plasma sputter zone (26P) to sputter deposit desired film (9). Auxiliary rotating magnetron cathodes (32) can deposit additional material onto rotating primary cathode (19). Molten material crucible assemblies (31) having coating rollers (34) can convey molten material onto rotating auxiliary thermally cooled cathode surfaces (32) which sputter coat primary cathode. When a selected combination of vapor crucibles (2) and auxiliary rotating cathodes (32) cooperate to coat rotating primary cathode surface (19) it is possible to deposit alloys or a large class of compound thin film materials in-situ without having to prefabricate cathodes of compound materials.Sputter deposited film (9) uniformity is improved by use of three methods: cyclically varying power applied to the primary surrogate cathode, narrow sputter zones, and premixing of condensing vapors.
