Detailed Description
The following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the application is made in connection with the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and together with the description of the embodiments of the application, are used to explain the principles of the application and are not intended to limit the scope of the application.
At present, most Li 3PO4 sputtering targets are plane targets, and the utilization rate of the plane targets is low, and only about 30% of the utilization rate is available. Therefore, the inventor has provided a lithium phosphate tube target (namely a tubular target material) through long-term intensive research, the tube target is composed of a supporting inner tube and an outer tube, the supporting inner tube plays a role in supporting and fixing, and the supporting inner tube is made of pure titanium or stainless steel; the outer tube is Li 3PO4 which is a material required by sputtering to prepare a film, and the utilization rate of the tubular target can reach 70%.
The inventors found in the study that the lithium phosphate material has a low density, the relative density is only 2.537g/cm 3, the powder shape is non-spherical, the powder is irregular and the loose density is low, a small amount of binder is often added during compression molding or cold molding, and even though the later degumming treatment can be carried out, a small amount of binder remains to influence the quality of the target material.
The invention discloses a preparation method for integrally forming a lithium phosphate tube target, which comprises the steps of filling lithium phosphate powder into a sheath, and vibrating and compacting while filling in the filling process; carrying out degassing treatment on the filled sheath seal welding feed inlet, wherein the degassing temperature is 500-700 ℃; after sealing the welding degassing port, performing hot isostatic pressing treatment; and removing part of the structure of the sheath after hot isostatic pressing to obtain the lithium phosphate tube target.
Specifically, the lithium phosphate tube target consists of two parts, namely a supporting inner tube and an outer tube, wherein the supporting inner tube plays a role in supporting and fixing, and the outer tube is Li 3PO4.
Compared with the prior art, the preparation method of the integrated forming of the lithium phosphate tube target ensures that the filling density can reach more than 50% of the theoretical density by filling lithium phosphate powder into the sheath and vibrating and compacting the lithium phosphate powder while filling in the filling process, then the upper cover of the sheath, the inner wall of the sheath and the outer wall of the sheath are sealed and welded, the sheath is degassed, then the degassing port is sealed and welded, and then the integrated forming of the lithium phosphate tube target is realized by adopting a hot isostatic pressing method, wherein the degassing is used for extracting the existing gas in the sheath, and simultaneously extracting the water adsorbed on the surface of lithium phosphate and dissociated, so that the water vapor generated in the lithium phosphate target material in the subsequent hot isostatic pressing treatment process is prevented, and the final density of the tube target is influenced; the lithium phosphate tube obtained by the invention has the advantages of high purity, high density, fine crystal grains, uniform components, no visible segregation, and tight combination of the outer tube and the supporting inner tube.
Specifically, the preparation method for integrally forming the lithium phosphate tube target comprises the following steps:
step 1: selecting battery grade lithium phosphate powder, wherein the purity of the lithium phosphate powder is 99.9%, and the powder can pass through a 160-mesh sieve (namely, the particle size of the powder is less than 97 mu m);
Step 2: filling lithium phosphate powder into a hot isostatic pressing sheath, compacting while filling in the filling process, compacting the filled sheath on a vibration platform, and sealing and welding an upper cover of the sheath with the inner wall and the outer wall of the sheath; the lithium phosphate powder is filled in the cavity 3, wherein the sheath comprises a sheath outer wall 1, first graphite paper 2, a cavity 3, a sheath inner wall 4, second graphite paper 5 and a control column 6 from outside to inside;
Step 3: degassing the filled sheath, wherein the degassing temperature is 500-700 ℃, the degassing vacuum degree is less than or equal to 2 multiplied by 10 -3 Pa, the temperature is kept for 1-6 hours, and the degassing port is sealed and welded after natural cooling;
step 4: placing the sheath into hot isostatic pressing equipment, preserving heat and pressure for 2-6 hours at the temperature of 700-900 ℃ and the pressure of 100-200 MPa, and cooling along with a furnace;
step 5: and (3) machining to remove the outer wall 1 of the sheath, the first graphite paper 2, the second graphite paper 5 and the control column 6, obtaining the inner wall 4 of the sheath as a supporting inner tube, taking the outer part of the lithium phosphate tube target blank as the target outer tube, and machining the blank to obtain the integrally formed lithium phosphate tube target.
Specifically, in the step 2, as shown in fig. 1, the sheath includes a sheath outer wall 1, a first graphite paper 2, a cavity 3, a sheath inner wall 4, a second graphite paper 5 and a control column 6; the sheath also comprises an upper cover and a lower cover; cutting the first graphite paper 2 according to the inner circumferential length of the outer wall 1 of the jacket before loading, placing the first graphite paper 2 on the inner side of the outer wall 1 of the jacket, fixing the first graphite paper 2, and loading lithium phosphate powder into a cavity 3 in the jacket; the lithium phosphate powder is compacted while being filled in the charging process, so that the relative density of the lithium phosphate powder after the charging compaction is more than or equal to 50 percent. In this step, the first graphite paper 2 is placed between the outer wall 1 of the sheath and the lithium phosphate powder, so as to facilitate the separation of the materials on both sides of the first graphite paper 2 after the hot isostatic pressing is completed.
Specifically, in the above step 3, considering that Li 3PO4 is slightly soluble in water, li 3PO4 powder is liable to absorb moisture, and H 2 O molecules adsorbed on the surface of Li 3PO4 after moisture absorption may also be dissociated to generate OH - and H +, which are adsorbed on the surface of Li 3PO4 together. H 2 O cannot be removed by both evaporation and boiling by heating to boiling point (100 ℃ at normal pressure) after dissociation, so the Li 3PO4 sputtering target should suppress moisture absorption as much as possible during production and subsequent storage. Therefore, in the above step 3, the moisture in the lithium phosphate can be removed by controlling the degassing temperature.
Specifically, in the step 3, if the degassing temperature is too low, the water dissociated from the hygroscopic lithium phosphate cannot be removed, if the degassing temperature is too high, the powder is seriously pre-sintered, and the grains of the target may grow. Therefore, the degassing temperature is controlled to 500 to 700 ℃.
Specifically, in the step 3, the degassing vacuum degree is controlled to be less than or equal to 2 multiplied by 10 -3 Pa.
Specifically, in the step 3, the heat preservation time is too short, and the water adsorbed on the surface of the lithium phosphate and dissociated cannot be completely removed. Therefore, the heat preservation is controlled for 1 to 6 hours. After the heat preservation time reaches the requirement, the degassing port is completely welded, and no air leakage can be caused.
In the step 4, the control column 6 is disposed on the central axis of the jacket, and the second graphite paper 5 is disposed between the control column 6 and the inner wall 4 of the jacket. The function of the control column 6 is to prevent the sheath from shrinking in the direction of the center, and the final size of the product is unqualified. The second graphite paper 5 is used for facilitating the separation of the control column 6 from the inner wall 4 of the jacket.
In the step 2, if the lithium phosphate tube target layer is made thinner, for example, the thickness is smaller than 6mm, the control of the center of the tube target is not required, and the second graphite paper 5 and the control column 6 may not be placed.
Specifically, in the step 4, the density is higher along with the increase of the hot isostatic pressing temperature, but the temperature cannot be increased limitlessly, the grains grow up at too high temperature, and the target performance is poor, so the temperature is controlled to be 700-900 ℃.
Specifically, in the step 4, the sealed sheath is placed in a working tool of the hot isostatic pressing device, the hot isostatic pressing device is vacuumized, then argon is pre-filled, and the heating is performed according to a set heating program. The pressure in the cavity of the hot isostatic pressing machine is 100 MPa-200 MPa; the heat preservation and pressure maintaining time is controlled to be 2-6 hours according to the size of the workpiece. And after the heat preservation is finished, cooling along with the furnace, and finishing the hot isostatic pressing operation process.
Specifically, in the step 4, under the high temperature effect of the hot isostatic pressing device, the mechanical strength of the sheath material is reduced along with the temperature rise, the pressure difference between the inner part and the outer part of the sheath wall promotes the sheath to shrink, the pressure is conducted to the internal target powder, the powder is sintered and densified, and the relative density of the target is increased from about 50% after compaction to more than 98% of hot isostatic pressing.
Specifically, in the step2, the inner wall 4 of the sheath needs to be used as a supporting inner tube in the later stage, and considering that the supporting inner tube needs to be a carrying tube suitable for a lithium phosphate magnetron sputtering target, the carrying tube needs to be nonmagnetic or weakly magnetic, so that the inner wall 4 of the sheath is made of pure titanium or stainless steel. The material selection of the outer wall 1 of the sheath is mainly considered from the aspects of production cost and welding feasibility with the upper cover and the lower cover of the sheath, so that the material of the outer wall 1 of the sheath can be carbon steel, stainless steel or pure titanium.
Specifically, the thickness of the outer wall 1 of the sheath is too large, so that the welding is difficult and uneconomical; too small, difficult to weld, easy to weld leakage, and affects the yield. Therefore, the thickness of the outer wall of the sheath is controlled to be 2-4 mm; the thickness of the inner wall 4 of the jacket can be freely set according to the requirement of the tube target bearing, for example, the thickness of the inner wall 4 of the jacket can be controlled to be 3-10 mm.
Specifically, the material of the control column 6 is graphite column or carbon steel, and the control column 6 can be made into a solid structure or a thick-wall pipe with a wall thickness of more than 15 mm.
Specifically, if the control column 6 is graphite, the second graphite paper 5 may not be placed.
Specifically, the first graphite paper 2 and the second graphite paper 5 are used for facilitating the separation of materials on two sides of the graphite paper. When the graphite paper is too thick, the graphite paper is easy to crack when cut and enclosed into a circumferential structure; too thin, the graphite paper does not significantly aid in detachment of the sides. Therefore, the thickness of the graphite paper is controlled to be about 0.05 to 0.2mm.
Specifically, the purity of the obtained lithium phosphate tube target is 99.9% through chemical component analysis and test, and the measured density is more than 98%.

Table 2 parameters relating to the envelope
The DSC curve of the lithium phosphate powder in example 1 is shown in FIG. 2, and the lithium phosphate powder has exothermic peaks between 480 ℃ and 500 ℃ through DSC test; as shown in the thermal gravimetric test curve of the lithium phosphate powder in FIG. 3, the thermal gravimetric analysis test result shows that the lithium phosphate powder sample has an exothermic peak at 499.5 ℃, the weight of the sample is continuously lost before 200-800 ℃, and the slope of the thermal gravimetric curve increases at the position of the exothermic peak, so that the weight loss is aggravated. It is estimated from DSC test results and thermogravimetric test results that lithium phosphate undergoes dehydration reaction at a temperature of 490 ℃ or higher. In the conventional sheath manufacturing process, the degassing temperature is 400-480 ℃, a small amount of water still remains in the sample at the moment, and when the heating temperature reaches the dehydration reaction temperature in the subsequent hot isostatic pressing sintering, gas is generated in dehydration, so that the final density of the target is affected.
