- the present invention relates to methods for producing workpieces, in which the workpieces are moved in a treatment atmosphere guided by a control system.
- a TARGET value is specified for the measured controlled variable and, according to the control deviations, for example the flow of reactive gas, in the example given above the oxygen flow, or - if not recorded as a controlled variable - the target voltage as a manipulated variable in the control loop mentioned.
- FIGS. Typical vacuum treatment systems of the last-mentioned type are shown schematically in FIGS. Such systems or workpieces realized with systems of this type are
- Substrates 1 are moved past at least one sputter source 5 on a workpiece carrier drum 3 rotating in a treatment chamber, as represented by ⁇ .
- the sputter source 5 with a metallic, that is to say highly electrically conductive target is usually DC-operated as a magnetron source, often additionally with a chopper unit interposed between a DC feed generator and the sputter source 5, as described in detail in EP-A-0 564,789 by the same applicant. With such a chopper unit, a current path located above the sputter source connections is switched intermittently with high and low resistance.
- the DC generator and the optionally provided chopper unit are each shown in the blocks 7 of the sputter source supply.
- a working gas G A for example argon
- a reactive gas G R for example oxygen 0 2
- G A for example argon
- a reactive plasma 9 is formed over the sputter sources 5, in which the substrates or workpieces 1 moved through the drum 3 over the sputter surfaces are sputter-coated. Because not only the substrates 1 are coated with the electrically poorly conductive reaction products formed in the reactive plasma 9, but also the metallic sputtering surfaces of the sputtering sources 5, the coating process described hitherto, particularly in order to achieve the highest possible coating rates, is unstable. For this reason, the treatment process, and in this case actually the one on the workpieces 1, is carried out in particular in these treatment processes or systems acting treatment atmosphere, stabilized in the treatment area BB by a control.
- the intensities of one or more of the spectral line (s) characterizing the light emission from the reactive plasma 9 and measured as a measured control variable X a are measured using a plasma emission monitor 12 Regulator 14 a supplied.
- the target voltage at the sputter source 5 is measured with a voltage measuring device 16 and fed to a controller 14b.

This layer thickness distribution is known as the so-called "chord effect".
- the effective width of a substrate is understood to be its linearly measured extent, in the direction of its movement relative to the sputtering source 5; the corresponding effective sputter source extension A is considered its linearly measured extension in the same direction.
- the “substrate width B” mentioned can certainly be taken up by a plurality of smaller substrates lying next to one another, the substrate 21 mentioned is then actually a batch substrate.
- the substrates can certainly be arranged on the inside of a revolving carousel which revolves around a sputter source arrangement, on a path which is then concave with respect to the sputter source arrangement.

- the reactive gas flow is modulated in such a way that this flow passes through a maximum in the case of workpieces located centrally with respect to the sputter source, whereas the substrate movement path is concave, a minimum.
- the working gas flow is modulated according to the invention, alone or in combination with the other specified modulation variables, it is preferred in such a way that it runs through a minimum when the substrates are convex in relation to the sputter source with workpieces located centrally with respect to the sputter source, but in the case of concave movement a maximum.
- FIG. 12 qualitatively shows the modulation signal, according to the invention applied to the systems according to FIGS. 7 to 10, in order to achieve layer thickness distributions on the substrates according to FIG. 11 (b) or, shown in dashed lines, (c).

On the output side, the sensor arrangement 24 is operatively connected to a differential formation unit 26, which supplies it with a measured control variable signal X.
- the difference formation unit 26 is further supplied with the SET value signal W by a preferably adjustable SET value setting unit 28.
- the control difference resulting at the difference formation unit 26 is conducted via a controller 30 or amplifier to at least one of the organs influencing the treatment atmosphere U, as an actuator.
- the arrangement described in FIG. 5 corresponds to the explanations for FIGS. 1 to 4.
- the current position x s of a workpiece 20 to be treated is now detected, as shown schematically by the position detector 34 in FIG and pursued.
- the output signal of the detector arrangement 34 triggers on a modulation unit 32 a modulation signal M which varies with the position X s and which is supplied to at least one of the above-mentioned organs which also determine the treatment atmosphere U in block 22 according to FIG. 5.
- the treatment atmosphere U in the treatment area BB is thus changed in a targeted manner in accordance with the modulation signal M, so that the workpiece 20 during the passage through the treatment area BB in accordance with the selected mode.
- dulation M is treated with a desired treatment profile along its surface to be treated.
- a first form of realization of the modulation according to the invention results from the fact that the modulation, as shown in FIG. 6, is applied to the guide variable W of the control loop and thus the control loop actuator is also used to apply the targeted modulation to the treatment environment U.

- Mechanical inaccuracies in the system configuration, for example of substrate carriers, can also be compensated for by appropriately designed modulation forms. If desired, it is also possible to achieve this by applying different modulation waveforms, for example by means of counters, to workpieces provided simultaneously on drum 3 but which are to be coated with different layer thickness distributions It is then detected (not shown) which of the substrates currently enter the treatment area BB of the sputtering source, and the corresponding associated modulation curve shape is activated with the selection unit 42.
- the layer thickness distribution on the substrates moving past can be set in a targeted manner, makes it possible to reduce the precision requirements for the treatment system, in particular with regard to its workpiece carrier and exact positioning of the sputtering source.
