[0074] (1) Using the radio frequency electric field of the PECVD equipment to 2 O / O 2 The excitation is oxygen plasma, and plasma oxidation is used to directly form a dense aluminum oxide layer on the surface of aluminum parts inside the PECVD vacuum chamber, thereby improving its resistance to fluoride ion corrosion.

[0075] (2) Based on the PECVD pressure and temperature control and radio frequency system, the plasma oxidation process can be accurately controlled to control the density, crystal type and thickness of the oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum parts.

[0076] (3) The RPS remote plasma source included in the PECVD equipment can be used to remove the loose natural oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum part, and then perform plasma oxidation treatment on the surface of the aluminum part.

[0077] Under high vacuum conditions, the ions of plasma oxidation have a larger mean free path increase, so that they carry higher energy when they reach the surface of the aluminum part. Compared with traditional coating technology, plasma oxidation can significantly reduce the temperature of oxide formation and avoid high temperature damage to the base material. Plasma oxidation technology has high requirements for pressure, temperature and electric field. The present invention can generate dense α-Al on the surface of aluminum parts by adjusting parameters such as gas flow, chamber pressure, temperature, and radio frequency power. 2 O 3 layer to improve its corrosion resistance.
