Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Stromzuführung für eine Rohrkathode einer Beschichtungsanlage nach dem Oberbegriff des Schutzanspruchs 1.The The invention relates to a power supply for a tubular cathode a coating system according to the preamble of the protection claim 1.
Das Aufbringen von Materialschichten auf einem Substrat, z. B. auf Glas oder Folien, erfolgt häufig mittels Sputterprozessen.The Application of material layers on a substrate, eg. On glass or slides, is done frequently by means of sputtering processes.
Bei diesen Sputterprozessen werden in einer Vakuumkammer mittels eines Plasmas Teilchen aus einem Target herausgeschlagen, die sich dann auf dem Substrat niederschlagen.at These sputtering processes are carried out in a vacuum chamber by means of a Plasma particles are knocked out of a target, which then becomes precipitate on the substrate.
Am Target liegt eine negative Spannung an, welche positive Ionen aus dem Plasma in Richtung Target beschleunigt. Treffen diese positiven Ionen mit einer genügend hohen Geschwindigkeit auf das Target, so können sie Teilchen aus dem Target herausschlagen.At the Target is a negative voltage, which positive ions out the plasma accelerates towards the target. Meet these positive ones Ions with one enough high speed on the target, so they can get particles out of the target Knock out.
Prinzipiell wird zwischen planaren und rohrförmigen Kathoden bzw. Targets unterschieden. Dabei haben die rohrförmigen Targets den Vorteil, dass die Targetmaterial-Ausbeute verglichen mit derjenigen planarer Targets sehr groß bzw. der Abtrag des Materials gleichmäßiger gestaltet werden kann.in principle is between planar and tubular Distinguished cathodes and targets. The tubular targets have the advantage that the target material yield compared with those planar Targets very large or the removal of the material made evenly can be.
Allerdings
werfen auch die rohrförmigen
Kathoden bzw. Targets Probleme auf. Als besonders schwierig hat
sich die Entwicklung von geeigneten Antrieben und Halterungen für die Rohrkathoden
erwiesen. Herkömmliche
Rohrkathoden weisen einen Drehzylinder auf, der in einem festen
Gehäuse
gelagert ist (vgl.
Ein weiteres Problem tritt bei drehbaren Rohrkathoden auf, wenn mit Wechselstrom gesputtert wird. In diesem Fall heizt sich jedes elektrisch leitende Element aufgrund von Wirbelstrombildung auf, das im Stromweg liegt. Dabei nimmt der Aufheizungseffekt mit zunehmender Frequenz des Wechselstroms zu. Wird der Wechselstrom außerhalb der Vakuumkammer an die Antriebswelle der Rohrkathode gelegt, dann erzeugt der Wechselstrom in den Dichtungen Wirbelströme, was zur Aufheizung der Dichtungen und zu deren Zerstörung führt.One Another problem occurs with rotatable tube cathodes, if with AC is sputtered. In this case, each heats up electrically conductive element due to eddy current generated in the current path lies. The heating effect increases with increasing frequency of the alternating current too. If the alternating current outside the vacuum chamber on put the drive shaft of the tube cathode, then generates the alternating current in the seals eddy currents, which leads to the heating of the seals and their destruction.
Um diesen Nachteil zu vermeiden, wurde bereits vorgeschlagen, die Zuführung des Stroms an die Kathode innerhalb der Vakuumkammer mittels Kohlebürsten vorzunehmen (US 2002/0189939 A1, US 2004/014028 A1). Hierdurch wird das Aufheizen von Dichtungen und auch Bauelementen weitgehend verhindert oder doch stark reduziert, weil der Strom nicht mehr in diesen Wirbelströme reduzieren kann.Around To avoid this disadvantage has already been proposed, the supply of the Make current to the cathode within the vacuum chamber by means of carbon brushes (US 2002/0189939 A1, US 2004/014028 A1). This will heat up of seals and also largely prevented components or but greatly reduced, because the current is no longer reduced in these eddy currents can.
Durch die Zuführung des Stroms in der Vakuumkammer über Kohlebürsten entsteht in der Vakuumkammer Kohlestaub, der sich auf der Substratoberfläche absetzen kann, wodurch die auf dem Substrat aufgesputterten Schichten mit Kohlenstoff verunreinigt werden können.By the feeder of the current in the vacuum chamber carbon brushes Carbon dust is formed in the vacuum chamber and settles on the surface of the substrate can, causing the sputtered on the substrate layers with Carbon can be contaminated.
Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Stromzufuhr für eine Rohrkathode bereitzustellen, bei der weder Wirbelströme in kritischen Bauteilen entstehen noch der Sputterprozess durch auftretenden Kohlestaub gestört wird.Of the The invention is therefore based on the object, a power supply for a tubular cathode in which neither eddy currents in critical components the sputtering process occurs due to carbon dust disturbed becomes.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß dem Schutzanspruch 1 gelöst.These Task is in accordance with the protection claim 1 solved.
Ein mit der Erfindung erzielter Vorteil besteht darin, dass die Verluste durch auftretende Wirbelströme verringert werden. Außerdem wird der Abrieb der Kohlebürsten direkt abgesaugt und gelangt nicht auf das Substrat. Überdies können erprobte, verlässliche Dichtungen eingesetzt werden, die sich aufgrund der fehlenden Wirbelströme nicht kritisch erwärmen.One achieved with the invention advantage is that the losses by occurring eddy currents be reduced. Furthermore is the abrasion of carbon brushes sucked directly and does not reach the substrate. moreover can proven, reliable seals are used, which is not due to the lack of eddy currents to warm critically.
