1 Towards quantitative modelling of magnetron sputter deposition D. Depla Dedicated Research on Advanced Films and Targets Ghent University Magnetron sputtering: components A magnetron discharge is a magnetically enhanced glow discharge. Key components are the magnets located below the cathode. 1 1
2 Magnetron sputtering : the discharge Simulation of an electron trajectory above a cylindrical magnetron Schematic of the electron movement above a planar magnetron, showing the hopping of the electron on the target, and the path defined by the ExB drift. 2 Magnetrons Planar magnetrons: target usage Optimalisation of the magnet configuration 23% 46% 65-90% 3 2
3 Together with the pressure change, we notice changes in discharge voltage and deposition rate. And who would care if the deposition rate stayed constant? Reactive magnetron sputtering Metallic mode High deposition rate No fully oxidized layers Reactive mode Low deposition rate Fully oxidized layers 4 The processes The processes Sputtering Chemisorption Knock on and direct implantation (Re)deposition 5 3

5 Chemisorption : target (1) After exposing the target to oxygen the target is sputter cleaned. The sputter cleaning time allows to calculate the thickness. Discharge voltage (V) discharge on power supply on discharge current stable discharge -0.2 discharge voltage current time after the start of the recording (ms) Discharge current (A) 8 Chemisorption : target (2) Good agreement with literature on the oxidation rate So, no influence of the bombardment prior to the oxygen exposure But the plasma does not contain only O 2. See later This story however shows another important message. C. Palacio, J.M. Martinez-Duart Thin SolidFilms90 (1982), J.M. Sanz, S. Hofmann, J. Less-Common Met. 92 (1983), P.B. Sewell, D.F.

New version with improved GUI is available for free 15 8
9 (Re)deposition The fraction of sputtered material returning to the target scales almost linearly with the argon pressure. Target redeposition is high in the racetrack but this is not important as it is balanced by the erosion process. However outside the racetrack oxide formation will occur. 16 The model The model Target description Substrate description How to use the model?: GUI 17 9

16 Fitting : some remarks (1) Using the experimental oxide sputter yields, we get a quite similar reaction rate for Y andalwithimplantedoatoms. Restricting the possible reaction rate constants to the same values and within the range of the experimental oxide sputter yields, we get a value for the sticking coefficient on the target. Al : 0.08±0.046 Y : 0.53 ±0.14 How this compares to literature? Aluminium: (average value over 6 different papers) Yttrium: 0.44(combination of 2 papers) The fitted values are much higher : ion stimulated chemisorption, but mainly the presence of atomic oxygen(sticking coefficient 1) 30 Fitting : some remarks (2) Atomic flux to the molecular flux is order 0.1 So, not only the sputter yields fit, but also the sticking coefficients. Al: 0.08±0.046 Y:0.53 ±

Besnard, N. Martin 33 17
18 Details Discharge voltage for a poisoned targetinar/o 2 Small decrease when oxygen is removed Simple : effective ionisation energy of Ar is lower as compared to oxygen Discharge voltage for a metal target in pure argon Small increase on reactive gas addition 34 Details We see this slight increase when the oxygen pressure change is small. Simulation : the coverage by chemisorption results in a voltage increase, while compound formation results in voltage decrease
19 Target rotation (1) Hysteresis shifts to lower oxygen flow on increasing the rotation speed D. Depla, J. Haemers, G. Buyle, R. De Gryse, J. Vac. Sci. Technol. Science A 24 (2006) Target rotation (2) 37 19

21 Target rotation : sputter cleaning (3) In poisoned mode: faster sputter cleaning than in metallic mode Reason : the deposited layer is much thinner because the deposition rate is much lower 40 Including deposition enables to mimick the sputter cleaning experiments 41 21
22 t out s t in S enters plasma region fully oxidized increaserpm smallert in =lesstimeforoxideremoval critical gas flow decreases with increasing RPM 42 Interpretation Without deposition, we would expect a similar behaviour, i.e. 1/RPM behaviour But with deposition Lower rotation speed means a thicker layer, butthereismoretimetosputterthelayer Higher rotation speed means a thinner layer, butthereislesstimetosputterthelayer t out s 43 22
23 Argon pressure (1) E. Särhammer, K. Strijckmans, T. Nyberg, S. Van Steenberge, S. Berg, D. Depla Surface and CoatingsTechnology 232 (2013) Argon pressure (2) Low sticking coefficient High sticking coefficient 45 23
24 Prediction of the first critical point The first critical point is defined as the lowest flow before entering the poisoned regime Mainly defined by the reaction of the reactive gas with the deposited metal 46 Prediction and agreement The RSD2013 model predicts not one but two hysteresis curves. Recently (paper just accepted in APL) this is now experimentally proven. Origin : 1. The hysteresis originates from the avalanche mechanism related to the getter activity of the deposited material. 2. Two conditions : the transition from metallic mode to poisoned mode results in avalanche mechanism due to implanted, non-reactive reactive ions
25 Conclusions The processes are relatively well understood and described. The model is (too) simple but gives quantitative results, But the parameters are hard to get, and needs dedicated experiments. N. Mason in The plasma 2012 roadmap Developing such models and gaining a detailed understanding of the physical and chemical mechanisms within plasma systems is intricately linked to our knowledge of the key interactions within the plasma and thus the status of the database for characterizing electron, ion and photon interactions with those atomic and molecular species within the plasma and knowledge of both the cross-sections and reaction rates for such collisions, both in the gaseous phase and on the surfaces of the plasma reactor. 52 Acknowledgements Further development of the RSD model Simulations Koen Strijckmans Measurements of incorporation coefficients and sputter yields Wouter Leroy Further developments of the SiMTRA code Francis Boydens Oxide formation on the target Roeland Schelfhout 53 25
