  • Publication number: 20020090464
    Abstract: Particulate contamination can occur in physical vapor deposition (PVD) systems when sputtered target material accumulates on the walls of the processing chamber and flakes off onto the workpiece. In a method for preparing a shield to reduce particulate contamination, sheet metal is formed to conform to the surfaces of the deposition chamber. The base metal is roughened, such as by sand blasting. A layer of coating material, whose coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is similar to that of the target material, is applied to the roughened base metal surface by a thermal spraying process. The surface of the coating is very rough, more than five times rougher than the underlying base metal texture. When the coating CTE and surface roughness are chosen carefully, shield performance can be optimized, resulting in longer processing times between shield replacements, reduced PVD chamber maintenance and less down time in these systems.

  • Patent number: 6413381
    Abstract: A plasma sputtering system that may be used to deposit a film on a substrate such as an optical disk is disclosed. In one embodiment, the sputtering system includes a main vacuum chamber. A plurality of sputtering chambers and a load lock chamber are connected to the main vacuum chamber. An assembly of a horizontal unprocessed substrate, an inner mask, and an outer mask are pressed onto a substrate transport tray that is positioned in the load lock. The tray supports the substrate and the masks throughout the processing of the substrate. A vertical lift lowers the tray from the load lock onto a carousel. The carousel transports the tray, substrate and masks to the sputtering chambers and then back to the load lock for unloading. Other lifts raise the tray, processed substrate, and masks from the carousel to the sputtering chambers. The tray is selectively pressed against the lower access aperture of the load lock and sputtering chambers so as to isolated them from the main chamber.

  • Patent number: 6402903
    Abstract: A plasma sputtering system is disclosed, along with methods of sputtering and methods of arranging an array of magnets disposed within the sputtering system. An embodiment of the sputtering system includes a vacuum chamber. A rotating magnetron is disposed in the vacuum chamber. A target is positioned between the magnetron and a substrate upon which material from the target is to be deposited. The magnetron includes an array of pairs of oppositely poled permanent magnets. A closed loop magnetic path extends between the pairs of oppositely poled magnets of the array. The magnetic path includes an inturn region proximate to an axis of rotation of the magnetron and at least two (e.g., five) indent regions.

  • Patent number: 5985115
    Abstract: An internally cooled target assembly for use in a magnetron sputtering apparatus is provided. The internally cooled target assembly includes a cooling plate that is configured to promote highly turbulent coolant flow through the target assembly to achieve efficient and uniform target cooling. The volume of coolant required to cool the target assembly is minimized.
