Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of single crystal diamond processing, and in particular to an ultrafast laser processing method, system, device and application. Background Art
[0002] Hard and brittle single crystal materials, such as single crystal diamond, sapphire, single crystal silicon, and single crystal silicon carbide, are characterized by anisotropy and cleavage planes. They are generally formed by crystals bonded together by saturated and directional covalent bonds, resulting in extremely high hardness and wear resistance. They are widely used in today's society, for example: single crystal diamond materials are widely used in precision machining, semiconductor devices, optics, acoustics and other fields;
[0003] However, hard and brittle materials are difficult to machine. Traditional contact machining methods suffer from low machining efficiency and poor surface quality. Ultrafast laser machining technology (lasers with pulse widths in the picosecond or femtosecond range) offers advantages such as high flexibility, extremely high instantaneous peak power density, small heat-affected zone, and high surface quality. It shows great potential in high-quality and high-precision machining of single-crystal diamond materials.
[0004] When existing ultrafast lasers process hard and brittle materials, such as single crystal diamond, the time for the laser to interact with the material is very short, less than or close to the thermal diffusion time (10 -12 s), so it is difficult for the material to transfer heat to the surrounding non-radiated areas, causing local thermal stress in the radiation area, causing cracking on the processed surface, and often causing micro cracks and edge collapse when processing grooves, which greatly affects the performance and service life of diamond devices;
[0005] To address cracks and chipping during diamond machining, existing control methods include: adding a modulation element to the laser light path to modulate the original symmetrical Gaussian distribution of the laser spot into an elliptical spot, causing cracks to occur along the long axis of the elliptical spot. By changing the laser spot, the shape of the crack is controlled.
[0006] Therefore, existing technologies rely on optical modulation elements, which are generally expensive. Furthermore, existing technologies focus on improving optical systems, and do not consider the material properties of single-crystal diamond to propose methods for controlling cracks generated by the commonly used Gaussian distribution laser processing of single-crystal diamond.
[0007] An ultrafast laser processing method that can control microcracks urgently needs to be developed. Summary of the Invention
[0008] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an ultrafast laser processing method, system, device and application for solving at least one of the aforementioned technical problems.

[0013] Moving the ultrafast laser source along a set direction to scan the crystal to be processed, so that cracks and edge collapse on the processing surface of the crystal to be processed can be controlled;
[0014] The set direction is: a crystal direction that is 0-90° with respect to the crystal plane trace.
[0015] The crystal direction forms an angle of 45° with the crystal plane trace, and the scanning processing direction of the ultrafast laser source is parallel to the crystal direction, so cross-distributed cracks and chipped edges with a sharp angle of 30°-60° are obtained on the processing surface of the crystal to be processed.
[0016] The crystal direction and the crystal plane trace present an angle of 0° or 90°, and the scanning processing direction of the ultrafast laser source is parallel to the crystal direction, so that non-intersecting horizontal and vertical cracks and 80°-100° edge collapse are obtained on the processing surface of the crystal to be processed.

[0024] a control unit connected to the scanning galvanometer, for controlling the moving direction and speed of the ultrafast laser using the ultrafast laser processing method described above;
[0025] The control unit is connected to the ultrafast laser and is used to adjust the energy density and repetition frequency of the ultrafast laser used for scanning processing.
[0026] The optical component comprises:
[0027] A first reflector mechanism is provided at the output end of the ultrafast laser;
[0028] a beam expander, disposed at an output end of the first reflector mechanism, for receiving the laser beam output from the first reflector mechanism and expanding the beam;
[0029] a second reflector mechanism, disposed at an output end of the beam expander, for receiving the expanded laser beam output from the beam expander;
[0030] The second reflector mechanism is arranged at the input end of the scanning galvanometer, and is used to provide the expanded laser beam to the scanning galvanometer.

[0049] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the modules in the devices in the implementation scenario can be distributed in the devices of the implementation scenario according to the implementation scenario description, or can be modified accordingly and located in one or more devices different from the implementation scenario. The modules in the above implementation scenario can be combined into one module or further split into multiple submodules.
[0050] The key feature of EBSD technology is its ability to perform submicron-level diffraction (producing crystallographic data) while retaining the conventional characteristics of a scanning electron microscope. EBSD has revolutionized previous approaches to texture analysis and established a new scientific field, termed "microtexture," which combines microstructural and crystallographic analysis. Closely related to "microtexture" are the applications of EBSD for phase analysis, obtaining interface (grain boundary) parameters, and measuring plastic strain. Currently, EBSD technology enables fully automated acquisition of micro-area orientation information, simplifies sample preparation, achieves rapid data acquisition speeds (reaching approximately 360,000 points per hour or even faster), and achieves high resolution (spatial and angular resolutions reaching 0.1 μm and 0.5 μm, respectively). This technology provides the foundation for rapid and efficient quantitative statistical analysis of a material's microstructure and texture, and has therefore become a valuable analytical tool in materials research.
[0051] Under laboratory conditions, the EBSD technique described above was able to demonstrate that cracks generated by ultrafast laser processing primarily occur along the cleavage planes of single-crystal diamond; this served as the basis for this paper.
[0052] The method described in this article can be applied to the scanning processing of hard and brittle single crystal materials such as single crystal diamond, sapphire, single crystal silicon, and single crystal silicon carbide. In the specific embodiments of this article, single crystal diamond is taken as an example to describe the ultrafast laser processing method, system and application of the present invention in detail.
[0053] In order to solve the problems of cracking of the processed surface and microcracks and edge collapse in the processed grooves caused by local thermal stress in the radiation zone during existing ultrafast laser processing of single crystal diamond, the present invention provides an embodiment to solve the above technical problems.
[0054] Specific embodiment 1:
[0055] like Figure 1 An ultrafast laser processing method comprises: orienting a single crystal diamond to determine the cleavage plane of the single crystal diamond; obtaining an intersection line between the cleavage plane and the surface to be processed by a crystal analysis technique, such as EBSD technology, and using the intersection line as the crystal plane trace of the cleavage plane; moving an ultrafast laser source along a set direction to control cracks and edge collapse on the single crystal diamond processing surface; the set direction is a crystal orientation of 0-90 degrees to the crystal plane trace.
[0056] In this example, "orienting a single crystal diamond" means establishing a coordinate system on the single crystal diamond, that is, selecting the coordinate axes (crystal axes) and determining the ratio (axis ratio) of the unit lengths (axis lengths) on each crystal axis; there are many methods for crystal orientation, such as the optical imaging method, the conoscopic method, the Laue orientation method, and the orientator.
[0057] The property of a crystal to split into smooth planes along a certain direction is called cleavage; the cracked surface is called a cleavage plane; and the cleavage plane is the crystal plane with the smallest strength in a single crystal material. Under the action of external force, the material tends to break along the cleavage plane.
[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 2 This article uses the scanning processing of crystal directions with angles of 0°, 45°, and 90° to the above-mentioned crystal plane traces as an example to explain the specific:
[0059] For example, the crystal direction and the crystal plane trace form an angle of 45°, and the scanning processing direction of the ultrafast laser source is parallel to the crystal direction. Since the scanning processing direction and the crystal plane trace form an angle of 45°, Figure 3 , cross-distributed cracks will appear on the processed surface, and the edge of the groove will produce a sharp angle of about 45°;
[0060] For example, the crystal direction and the crystal plane trace are at an angle of 0°, and the scanning processing direction of the ultrafast laser source is parallel to the crystal direction. Since the scanning processing direction is parallel or perpendicular to the crystal plane trace, Figure 4 , long cracks distributed transversely along the center of the groove and some short cracks distributed longitudinally are generated in the processed surface, the groove edge is more regular, and the shape of the chipping edge is a rectangle of about 90°;
[0061] For example, the crystal direction and the crystal plane trace are at an angle of 90°, and the scanning processing direction of the ultrafast laser source is parallel to the crystal direction. Since the scanning processing direction is parallel or perpendicular to the crystal plane trace, Figure 4 , long cracks distributed laterally along the center of the groove and some short cracks distributed longitudinally are generated in the processed surface, the groove edge is more regular, and the shape of the chipped edge is a rectangle of about 90°.
[0062] It can be seen that in specific production, in order to make the cracks and chipping on the processing surface of the single crystal diamond controllable, the laser source can be scanned so that the crystal direction along which the scanning motion is performed is at an angle of 0° or 90° with the above-mentioned crystal plane trace, thereby obtaining long cracks distributed laterally along the center of the groove and some short cracks distributed longitudinally; at the same time, a rectangular chipping of about 90° is obtained, making the groove edge more regular and reducing the area of the chipping; after obtaining regular cracks and chipping, the performance and service life of the single crystal diamond component can be improved; moreover, the method described in the above embodiment does not improve the optical system in the processing system, such as adding optical modulation elements, etc., which reduces the processing cost and makes the method described in the present invention more adaptable.
[0063] Specific embodiment II:
[0064] During the specific production process, due to defects in the processing technology, an excessive number of cracks will appear when processing the grooves. At this time, the technical means of specific embodiment I can only adjust the crack angle and the shape of the broken edge in the processing groove, and cannot solve the problem of excessive number of cracks. At this time, it is necessary to explore a convenient and efficient method to control the number of cracks.
[0065] The present invention provides an embodiment:
[0066] An ultrafast laser processing method, in addition to the steps described in Specific Example I, further includes: during ultrafast laser processing, adjusting the scanning speed of the ultrafast laser source to reduce the number of cracks on the processed surface.
[0067] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown in FIG, when the number of cracks processed along the crystal direction represented by D exceeds a predetermined number, increasing the scanning speed of the ultrafast laser source can significantly control the number of cracks; preferably, when the laser repetition frequency is a preset value, such as 100 kHz, the scanning speed of the ultrafast laser source is increased to above 4 mm / s, such as 4-9 mm / s; at this time, since the time of interaction between the laser and the material is reduced, the laser energy absorbed by the single crystal diamond is greatly reduced, the thermal stress generated by the laser irradiation is small and does not reach the critical condition for causing cracking, the material on the single crystal diamond is removed by ablation, and no cracks are generated on the processed surface and the edge of the groove, and finally the result is as shown in FIG. Figure 5The processed surface shown in the figure effectively controls the number of cracks. If the scanning speed is too high, such as greater than 9 mm / s, the thermal stress generated by laser irradiation is too small to ablate, but more cracks will be generated. Similarly, when the laser repetition frequency is set to 100 kHz, if the scanning speed of the above-mentioned ultrafast laser source is reduced, such as to below 2 mm / s, such as 0.5-2 mm / s, the number of laser pulses received per unit area of the single crystal diamond increases, the laser energy absorbed by the material increases, and the ablation depth in the groove is greater than the crack depth. Therefore, the crack layer can be removed to form a smooth groove bottom, and the result is as shown in the figure. Figure 7 The machined surface shown in the figure also effectively reduces the number of cracks. If the scanning speed is too slow, such as less than 0.5 mm / s, the ablation depth in the groove will be too large, resulting in too many cracks at the bottom of the groove.
[0068] Observable, such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the number of cracks processed along the crystal direction represented by C exceeds the predetermined number. At this time, increasing the scanning speed of the above-mentioned ultrafast laser source can significantly control the number of cracks. Preferably, when the laser repetition frequency is set to 100 kHz, the scanning speed of the above-mentioned ultrafast laser source is increased to 4 mm / s. At this time, due to the shortened interaction time between the laser and the material, the laser energy absorbed by the single crystal diamond is greatly reduced, the thermal stress generated by the laser irradiation is small and does not reach the critical condition for causing cracking. The material on the single crystal diamond is removed by ablation, and no cracks are generated on the processed surface and the edge of the groove. Finally, the following is obtained: Figure 6 The processed surface shown in the figure effectively controls the number of cracks. When the laser repetition frequency is set to 100 kHz, if the scanning speed of the ultrafast laser source is reduced to 2 mm / s, the number of laser pulses received per unit area of the single crystal diamond increases, the laser energy absorbed by the material increases, and the ablation depth in the groove is greater than the crack depth. Therefore, the crack layer can be removed to form a smooth groove bottom, and the result is as shown in the figure. Figure 8 The machined surface shown also effectively reduces the number of cracks.
[0069] It can be seen that when the surface of the single-crystal diamond produces more than a predetermined number of cracks along different crystal directions, the above process can be adjusted. For example, when the laser repetition frequency is 100 kHz, the scanning speed can be increased to 4-9 mm / s or reduced to 0.5-2 mm / s, which can effectively control the number of cracks and further improve the working performance and service life of the single-crystal diamond components.
