Technical field
The utility model relates to employed heater in a kind of high vacuum thin film growth process, especially uses the employed single resistance wire planar radiation linear array heater of radio-frequency plasma molecular beam epitaxy technology growing oxide film.
Background technology
In the vacuum film growth technology, (comprise vacuum vapour deposition, magnetron sputtering method, pulse laser method, chemical vapour deposition technique etc.), will heat so that be adsorbed to the atom acquisition of substrate surface substrate usually and enough move energy to obtain high-quality thin film.Particularly for using RF-MBE (radio-frequency plasma molecular beam epitaxy) growth refractory oxide film, must use sufficiently high growth temperature also at high temperature to anneal and improve into thin quality with further with the atomic layered growth pattern of assurance film.Because RF-MBE technology growth sull is under the active oxygen atom environment, heater is easier to be oxidized under the condition of high temperature, thereby influences the useful life and the efficiency of heating surface greatly simultaneously.Therefore, when being designed for the vacuum growing technology and preparing the heater of sull, must consider following factor:
1. can satisfy the required hot conditions of film growth;
2. heter temperature good uniformity, the temperature-controlled precision height;
3. long service life under the oxygen environment, good stability;
4. material therefor evaporation capacity when high temperature is few, pollutes little to film growth.
In addition, heater is satisfying on the performance outside the above-mentioned requirements, also must take all factors into consideration the simplification of use cost and maintenance.
The mode of heating kind that is used for film growth at present is more, as the Halogen lamp LED heating, and LASER HEATING and resistance-type heating etc., these methods differ from one another, but use maximum still resistance type heaters.It is big that resistance type heater has heating surface (area) (HS, and thermal uniformity is good, advantages such as heating-up temperature wide ranges.Can be divided into the resistive element heating by mode of heating, as patent 98101216.7 (metal plate heater of using in the preparation film apparatus), (95224595.7 being used to prepare the monocrystalline silicon radiant heater of two-side film membrane), (98101016.7 graphite body heater) and resistance wire heating, as patent 03263585.0 (heater in the hot filament chemical vapor deposition unit) and 200510088871.4 (novel plane radiation heaters), though satisfying, these heater types obtain higher temperature and warm field uniformity requirement, but be specifically designed to high vacuum oxide film growth environment and aspect the working service cost, still have big limitation.As metal plate heater as described in the patent 98101216.7, because metallic resistance is very little, its heater must use special strong current transformer, and (15V 500A) could obtain very high heating-up temperature.And patent 95224595.7 described monocrystalline silicon panel heaters are easy to be oxidized to the silicon oxide layer of insulation in the surface when using under the oxygen environment, cause electrode contact insulation to use, must under vacuum environment, at first prepare good contact electrode and should guarantee also that simultaneously electrode material can not pollute the high vacuum growing environment under hot conditions.Patent 03263585.0 and 200510088871.4 described resistance wire type heaters adopt many resistance wires and complicated support frame structure, all have sizable difficulty in processing and aspect safeguarding.
The employed graphite body heater of present commercial molecular beam epitaxy system heater is by being processed into circular graphite flake as shown in Figure 1 structure to obtain bigger resistance and temperature homogeneity.But in the active oxygen environment, graphite is easy to be oxidized into carbon dioxide, and experiment shows that under the active oxygen environment residual carbon dioxide air pressure can reach 10 in the heater hot operation long period final vacuum chamber
-8Mbar is great pollution to ultra-high vacuum environment, and surpasses service time after 1 year, and graphite flake attenuate degree is serious consequently can't be used.Commercial solution is to be coated with high-purity boron nitride (PBN) protective layer outside graphite heater, but costs an arm and a leg and can not use the protection of insulating nitride boron layer owing to electrically contact part, and the pollution of carbon still can't solve fully.
