Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of atomic near-atomic scale ultra-precision polishing, and particularly relates to a plasma-assisted micro abrasive jet polishing manufacturing device and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to space structure restrictions or thrust-to-weight ratio requirements, blind holes are widely used in integrated circuits, hydraulic systems, automobiles and other fields, such as positioning pin holes (blind holes) for dynamic balancing in rotating objects, and used as piston cylinders in hydraulic systems and internal combustion engines. However, the finishing machining of the inner surface of the blind hole is more difficult, especially the machining of the bottom edge, and domestic and foreign researchers have less research on blind holes, which makes the subsequent precision machining of the blind hole an important machining problem in China. Most of the domestic inner surface finishing machining of pipes is carried out by chemical polishing, however, chemical processing liquid is easy to pollute the environment. Ultra-precision grinding and polishing is a near / no damage machining manufacturing technology that does not change the physical properties of the workpiece material, removes surface burrs, damage layer and other defects, and improves the surface precision and integrity of the workpiece, which is often used for high-performance manufacturing of difficult-to-machine materials such as semiconductors, optical elements, functional ceramics and plastic material parts.

[0003] Plasma-assisted polishing is a surface treatment technology in which plasma interacts with the material surface to improve the smoothness and quality of the material surface through chemical reactions and physical effects. The process is usually carried out in a vacuum or atmosphere-controlled environment using a radio frequency plasma source to generate plasma. The charged particles in the plasma chemically react with the material surface to remove surface defects, oxides, organic contaminants or micro-roughness, etc., thereby achieving nanoscale flattening and microstructure control of the surface. Plasma-assisted polishing is different from traditional mechanical polishing methods. Traditional mechanical polishing mainly relies on mechanical force and abrasive to remove defects and roughness on the surface of the material, while plasma-assisted polishing utilizes the interaction of plasma with the material surface to improve the surface quality.

Micro abrasive jet machining is a method that can effectively solve the machining problem of hard and brittle materials. Its working principle is that through the mixing of micro abrasive and high-pressure gas, after special design of the nozzle, the micro abrasive is accelerated and shot to the workpiece material, and the abrasive is used to realize the removal of the material by the scouring and polishing effect.

[0006] The invention discloses a kind of method and device of plasma polishing workpiece, the method of plasma polishing workpiece includes the following steps: the workpiece to be polished is placed on the workpiece frame in polishing vacuum chamber, and the polishing vacuum chamber is evacuated;Inert gas is introduced into the vacuum chamber until the gas pressure in the vacuum chamber reaches the set value;The workpiece to be polished is heated by plasma;After completing plasma heating, fluorine-containing gas is introduced into the vacuum chamber until the gas pressure in the vacuum chamber reaches the set value;The ion source is opened, the grid is powered on, and the workpiece to be polished is immersed in the plasma for polishing;The ion source is closed, and the grid is powered off, i.e. the polishing of the workpiece is completed;Through the effective cooperation of ion source, high-frequency electric field, electromagnetic field and grid, the effective control of plasma is realized, and immersion polishing is realized;The invention can realize the shape retention of plasma on workpiece, realize the polishing of complex shape surface and flat surface.However, the patent does not involve micro-abrasive jet polishing, and there is still room for improvement in efficient polishing of workpiece.

[0007] The invention discloses a kind of method for processing silicon-based element by magnetorheological auxiliary atmospheric plasma polishing, to solve the problem that surface residue is generated when existing atmospheric plasma is processed, which causes the surface quality of optical element to be seriously reduced.First, use atmospheric plasma to process silicon-based element with He as carrier gas, CF4 As reaction gas and O2 As auxiliary gas, generate residue, then polish the surface of element by magnetorheological, the generated residue is quickly removed by flexible abrasive in magnetorheological fluid, realize high-efficiency polishing of silicon-based optical element.

[0012] Preferably, a protective film is covered on the surface of the workpiece in the machining area, the protective film protects the surface of the workpiece and prevents the surface of the workpiece from being oxidized by the plasma and abraded by the micro abrasive.
