摘要： A small magnet assembly is scanned in a retrograde planetary or epicyclic path about the back of a target being plasma sputtered including an orbital rotation about the center axis of the target and a planetary rotation about another axis rotating about the target center axis. The magnet assembly passes through the target center, thus allowing full target coverage. A properly chosen ratio of the two rotations about respective axes produces a much slower magnet velocity near the target periphery than at the target center. A geared planetary mechanism includes a rotating drive plate, a fixed center gear, and an idler and a follower gear rotatably supported in the drive plane supporting a cantilevered magnet assembly on the side of the drive plate facing the target. A belted planetary mechanism includes a fixed center capstan, a follower pulley supporting the magnet assembly, and a belt wrapped around them.

摘要： A small unbalanced magnet assembly is scanned in a retrograde planetary or epicyclic path about the back of a target being plasma sputtered including an orbital rotation about the center axis of the target and a planetary rotation about another axis rotating about the target center axis. The magnet assembly may pass through the target center, thus allowing full target coverage. A geared planetary mechanism may include a rotating drive plate, a fixed center gear, and an idler and a follower gear rotatably supported in the drive plate supporting a cantilevered magnet assembly on the side of the drive plate facing the target. The erosion profile may be controlled by varying the rotation rate through the rotation cycle or by modulating the target power. A second planetary stage may be added or non-circular gears be used. Auxiliary electromagnetic coils may create a focusing magnetic field.

摘要： A lift mechanism for and a corresponding use of a magnetron in a plasma sputter reactor. A magnetron rotating about the target axis is controllably lifted away from the back of the target to compensate for sputter erosion, thereby maintaining a constant magnetic field and resultant plasma density at the sputtered surface, which is particularly important for stable operation with a small magnetron, for example, one executing circular or planetary motion about the target axis. The lift mechanism can include a lead screw axially fixed to the magnetron support shaft and a lead nut engaged therewith to raise the magnetron as the lead nut is turned. Alternatively, the support shaft is axially fixed to a vertically moving slider. The amount of lift may be controlled according a recipe based on accumulated power applied to the target or by monitoring electrical characteristics of the target.

摘要： A dual magnetron for plasma sputtering including a source magnetron and an auxiliary magnetron, each of which rotate about the center of the target at respective radii. The positions of the magnetron can be moved in complementary radial directions between sputter deposition and target cleaning. The magnetrons have different characteristics of size, strength, and imbalance. The source magnetron is smaller, stronger, and unbalanced source magnetron and is positioned near the edge of the wafer in sputter deposition and etching. The auxiliary magnetron is larger, weak, and more balanced and used for cleaning the center of the target and guiding sputter ions from the source magnetron in sputter deposition. Each magnetron may have its plasma shorted out in its radially outer position.

The system may include an alignment system operable to confirm alignment of the mask and the substrate. A method of positioning a mask on a substrate in a chamber comprises supporting the mask with a chuck disposed in the chamber and supporting the substrate with a pedestal disposed in the chamber.
