Title:
PVD SYSTEM BASED ON ION EXTRACTION FROM PLASMA
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH07183219
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To provide a physical evaporation source having improved straightness for evaporating a metal layer on a semiconductor wafer, by providing a magnetron sputtering device constituted by specified high-intensity plasma inducing means and specified ion extracting means. CONSTITUTION: In a particle confinement container 2 having an aperture and a wall, the wall has inner side surfaces 5, 5' of a target material, and a sputtering cathode having means for applying a voltage and means for supplying and maintaining electrons in the container 2 are included. Also, high-intensity inducing means which includes magnetic field generating means 4, 4' for supplying a blank magnetic field 1 to a region near the aperture of the container 2 and generating a magnetic line of force 3 looping through the wall and supplying a coercive force for holding electrons near the wall is provided. In addition, ion extracting means for causing the zero-value magnetic field region 1 to cooperate with ions in the vicinity thereof to induce ions so that ions move away from the container 2 and follow a predetermined route is provided in a magnetron sputtering device.
