    Abstract: 一种溅射涂层设备用的靶,它包括一个在其上面设置了带溅射靶物质(58)的表面的阴极(56)和一个由间隙(96)与阴极隔开的接地屏蔽(84)。间隙(96)填满了一种即使在高湿度下也能防止间隙中产生电弧的电绝缘材料(102)。安装在阴极表面的周边部分(66)上的条板(90)形成一个连续的周围凸缘(94),它悬在间隙(96)入口和接地屏蔽的毗邻边缘(86)之上,从而防止溅射靶物质的松散屑片桥接间隙而使阴极与接地屏蔽短路。

    Abstract: An improved sputter target (62) and shield (70) eliminate redeposition of sputtered material onto the target (62) and prevents the formation of deposits on the electrically insulative member (22) between the target (62) and enclosure wall (12). The sputter target (62) is designed to allow the plasma to sputter the entire sidewall of the target (62) while a narrow passage (69) between the target (62), backing plate (68) and shield (70) protects the insulative member (22) from line-of-sight deposition, prevents formation of a plasma within the passage (69) without causing arcing between the backing plate (68) and shield (70). The target (62) of the present invention is generally disk-shaped with a sloped or frustoconical sidewall surface (64) around the perimeter edge.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a target (200) for a physical deposition (PVD) system. The target (202) has a portion (234) of the target that overhangs and shadows the side wall (218) of the target thus preventing material from depositing on the edge. To further reduce contaminant generation, the target is combined with an improved dark space shield (200) having a first end (224) and a second end (226), where the second end conventionally supports a collimator (110) and the first end has an inner surface (232) that is substantially vertical.

    Abstract: A vacuum sputter apparatus capable of performing sputter operations at reduced operating pressure. Magnetic means (14) is supported behind the cathode (6) for producing magnetic flux lines (16) generally parallel to a first, primary surface (8) to be sputtered which is held at a high electrical potential, thus giving rise to a magnetron plasma adjacent the primary surface. The magnetic means confines the plasma to produce a closed loop erosion path on the first surface. A dark space shield (20) extends from the wall (4) of the vacuum chamber toward the first surface, but terminates a distance from the primary surface so as to expose a portion of the second surface (10). The dark space shield is recessed a sufficient distance from the first target surface to minimize the density of the fringing field lines intersecting the dark space shield. In this manner, the plasma generated adjacent the first surface is enriched both by electrons originating from a secondary plasma at the second surface and by electrons reflected back to the first surface moving along the magnetic flux lines. Sputtering action can thus take place efficiently at reduced operating pressure. Reduced operating pressure furthermore provides more uniform film deposition, while eliminating differential segregation of the sputter compound material.

    Abstract: A cylindrical target assembly for use in a physical vapor deposition (PVD) processing chamber for magnetically enhanced sputtering applications. In embodiments disclosed herein, a cylindrical target, disposed around a rotatable backing tube, has one or more contoured ends that conform to a magnetic sputtering line located outside of a uniform magnetic field. The contoured ends prevent or substantially reduce the accumulation of redeposition material at either end of the cylindrical target assembly desirably reducing particle contamination in the process chamber and on the surfaces of substrates processed therein.
