DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing metal oxide thin films, which are used in the field of electronics such as IC substrates, magnetic recording media, and electrical materials, or in various decorations. This method involves attaching a metal thin film with a thickness of approximately 800 to 1000 A° to the surface of an inorganic material substrate, and oxidizing only the surface layer of 1000 to 3000 A° without impairing the properties of the metal thin film. This method is characterized by blowing a high-temperature oxygen-containing gas (hereinafter referred to as oxygen-containing gas) onto the substrate to cool the opposite substrate side.

The technique of forming a thin film on a substrate can be made with reasonable precision and good reproducibility when it consists of one type of element, but it is difficult to form a compound or alloy, and conventional methods for forming thin films of alloys or compounds have been Compounds were formed using reactive sputtering or reactive vapor deposition. For example, when forming a Sio 2 thin film on a substrate surface, reactive evaporation is a method of introducing oxygen gas into a vacuum evaporation device and evaporating Sio in an atmosphere of oxygen gas to create SiO 2 (SiOx: x = 1 to 2). is used. The reaction is as follows.

Sio + O 2 → Siox (x = 1 to 2) In addition, in the reactive sputtering method, when the target is a compound and a thin film of the compound is made, the components of the formed thin film are different from the target compound. A method is used to supplement O 2 by appropriately mixing oxygen gas into Ar to create a thin film with the same composition as the original component. However, when forming a compound by reactive vapor deposition and reactive sputtering, it is difficult to produce the same composition as the original component or the composition of the target compound on the substrate surface.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, the present inventor conducted various experiments and devised methods to eliminate the drawbacks of reactive vapor deposition and reactive sputtering, and as a result, the present inventors discovered that
By spraying high-temperature oxygen-containing gas onto the surface layer of a thin film with a film thickness of about 800 to 3000 A° and cooling the opposite side of the substrate, only the very surface layer of about 200 A° can be removed without damaging the properties of the thin film as a whole. It was found that a thick oxide film can be formed by easily converting oxide into an oxygen compound.

Example 1 An Fe film was vacuum-deposited to a thickness of 1000 A° on a glass substrate 1 and fixed in a brass cooling tank 2 as shown in FIG. The cooling section has a structure that allows you to select any temperature setting from liquid nitrogen temperature (77°K) to room temperature (300°K). Settings were made and measurements were taken using copper-constantan thermocouple 4. The side of the deposited Fe thin film 3 is placed in a room temperature atmosphere, and oxygen gas 5 is heated at a higher temperature than the bottom side.
Spray. As shown in FIG. 2, oxygen gas is supplied to a 150 kg/cm 2 gas cylinder (not shown) by adjusting its pressure and flow rate with a regulator 7, heating it to a predetermined temperature with a ceramic heater 9, and passing it through a nozzle 10 onto the Fe thin film 3. Spray. Gas temperature ranges from room temperature
The temperature was variable up to about 800°C and was controlled using a C-A thermoelectric element 6. Around the heater, a stainless steel cylinder 8 was triple-insulated with glass fiber. In this case, the gas temperature was 500°C and the flow rate was 0.5/min.

The surface of the hollow cylinder is coated with hard chrome to give it a mirror finish, and the temperature can be adjusted from room temperature to -30℃ using a refrigerant. The film feed and take-up shafts are also structured so that the film speed can be adjusted within the range of 0 to 100 m/min. The lower part on the vapor deposited film side consists of a gas supply section 14 having the same structure as in Example 1, and as shown in FIG. Ta. The oxygen supply method, heating, and temperature control were performed in the same manner as in Example 1. That is, as shown in Figure 4, 150Kg/cm 2

Example 9 The same method as in Example 2 was carried out on a thin film in which iron metal was vacuum-deposited on a polymer film. However, ozone gas was used instead of oxygen gas.Next, in order to examine the effects of the embodiments of the present invention, the surface condition was examined by X-ray diffraction using the Laue method and ESCA. As a result, for example, in Example 1, Fe 2 O 3 with a thickness of about 1000 A° was deposited on the surface of the vapor-deposited metal layer.
It was found that metal oxides were produced. In the case of Example 2, as in Example 1, a gold compound of Fe 2 O 3 was generated on the surface. In addition, only the surface layer of the cobalt metal in Example 3 changed from Co to Co 3 O 4 , and as it entered the polymer layer film side, 2 to 3 molecular layers were in the oxidized state of Co 3 O 4 . It was found that the crystal structure is that of CoO. In a comparison between Examples 1 and 2 and Example 9, the oxidation state of Fe on the surface is more stable when ozone gas is used than when oxygen gas is used. Further, as the gas temperature becomes higher and the contact time with the refrigerant becomes longer, the oxidation state progresses to the inside of the deposited film. The gas temperature is
The optimum temperature is between 200℃ and 800℃.If the temperature is lower than 200℃, the surface layer will not be sufficiently oxidized, and the temperature will be lower than 800℃.
If the temperature is higher, layers other than the surface layer will be oxidized. The optimal contact time with the gas was about 10 -3 to 1 second. Other examples of nickel, chromium, titanium, and Sio also have surface layers made of metal oxides.

The effect of the present invention is that only the surface layer of the metal vacuum-deposited or sputtered on the substrate surface is locally oxidized with a high temperature heated oxygen-containing gas, and the modification of the substrate is prevented using a coolant. For example, it is useful when a CO or Fe-based ferromagnetic layer is formed and an oxidation protective film is formed on a portion of the surface for the purpose of preventing rust, etc., without degrading the magnetic properties. Of course, when implementing the present invention, similar effects can be obtained with other metals.
