Problems solved by technology

However, in the traditional annealing process (first rising from room temperature to a higher temperature at a certain rate, then keeping it at this temperature for a period of time, then dropping to a lower temperature at a certain rate, and finally cooling down naturally), Cracks are prone to occur when the film reaches a certain thickness, and only crack-free ferrite films less than 100nm can be prepared

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a submicron order crack-free ferrite film through a step-by-step annealing technology. A microwave ferrite material is related to the method, the vacuum sputtering deposition technology is utilized, and the ferrite film is deposited on a single-crystal substrate. Due to the fact that the heat expansion coefficients and the lattice constants of the single-chip substrate and the ferrite film are not matched, residual stress can be generated by the film in the crystallizing process, and when the residual stress exceeds a certain value, the cracking phenomenon of the film can happen. However, the residual stress can be effectively released through the step-by-step annealing method, film cracks are prevented, and the thickness of the crack-free film is finally increased. By means of the method, the preparing process is simple, the production cost is low, the prepared film has high compactness, and cracking is not likely to happen.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of microwave devices, in particular to a method for preparing a submicron crack-free ferrite film by using a step-by-step annealing technique. Background technique [0002] Yttrium iron garnet (Y 3 Fe 5 o 12 , YIG) as a representative garnet-type ferrite material, is widely used in rings due to its good gyromagnetic effect, narrow ferromagnetic resonance linewidth, and low high-frequency loss. In microwave communication devices such as devices, isolators, and phase shifters. With the development of microwave ferrite devices towards miniaturization and integration, it is of great significance to prepare YIG thin films that meet the device requirements. According to research, the performance of microwave devices based on ferrite films is closely related to the film thickness. Only when the film reaches a certain thickness without cracking can it be used to prepare microwave devices such as circulators. However, in...
