Abstract

The invention discloses a star sapphire wafer and a preparation method of the star sapphire wafer. Second phase sediment is formed as a star on a surface of a mode guiding method titanium-doped sapphire wafer after the mode guiding method titanium-doped sapphire wafer is thermally treated, so that needle-shaped sediment can be found under an optical microscope. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: firstly, using the mode guiding method to grow and obtain the titanium-doped sapphire wafer, subsequently treating the wafer by using a series of aerobic thermal treatment methods to obtain the star sapphire wafer in the following sub steps of firstly aerobically annealing at a high temperature and uniformly oxidizing titanium ions to tetravalent colorless titanium ions, then cooling to a low temperature near at 1000 DEG C, insulating and nucleating the sediment phase in the wafer, subsequently heating to a sediment phase development temperature, insulating and forming as a star to prepare the star sapphire wafer. The star sapphire wafer disclosed by the invention is even and transparent, so that the flashing needle-shaped sediment can be founded under the optical microscope; and the wafer has the advantages of higher surface breaking tenacity and stable mechanical property.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of transparent optical crystal materials, in particular to a sapphire wafer and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Sapphire crystal has excellent comprehensive physical and chemical properties, such as ultra-high hardness and extremely low friction coefficient, second only to diamond in nature, excellent spectral transmission performance in a wide band (300-5000nm), and has high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. , making sapphire wafers the first choice for modern high-performance window materials. However, when the sapphire wafer is used as a window material, under the action of external impact force, the wafer is prone to brittle cracking or brittle cracking, resulting in a significant decrease in the mechanical stability of the wafer. This is a major bottleneck in the commercial application of sapphire wafers as window materials, which limits its continuous development and a...
