[0036] Please refer to the attached drawings in the instruction manual. Figure 1-Figure 3 The diamond crystal growth device of the present application includes a first cavity 100, a growth zone G is provided below the first cavity 100, and the growth zone G is used to grow diamond; an antenna 200, the antenna 200 is arranged in the first cavity 100 and above the growth zone G, and the antenna 200 is used to excite the reaction gas to form plasma; and an adjustment component 300, the adjustment component 300 includes: an adjustment ring 310, the adjustment ring 310 is movably arranged above the antenna 200, and the adjustment ring 310 is used to constrain the shape of the plasma; a driving member 320, the driving member 320 acts on the adjustment ring 310, so that the adjustment ring 310 has at least horizontal freedom of movement.
[0037] It is understandable that the first cavity 100 can be connected to a microwave source and a gas source, and the microwave source can convert the microwave mode through the antenna 200, and the microwave excites the gas connected to the gas source to form a spherical flame, that is, plasma. The growth area G can be equipped with a substrate, and under the action of the plasma, the substrate in the growth area G can gradually grow diamond crystals. The existing plasma often deviates from the set position when used, and there are many deviation factors. For example, the flatness of the actual surface of the antenna 200 is not the same as the model in the simulation software. The size of the deviation depends on the processing accuracy. In addition to the processing accuracy of the antenna 200, there are also factors such as the assembly accuracy of each component in the first cavity 100 in the actual device, the microwave source, and the processing quality of the waveguide section. Therefore, the present application is additionally configured with an adjustment component 300, and the shape of the plasma is constrained by the adjustment ring 310, and then the horizontal position of the adjustment ring 310 is adjusted by the driving member 320, thereby indirectly adjusting the horizontal position of the plasma, so as to achieve the position correction of the plasma, thereby improving the quality of the diamond crystal growth.
[0038] In some embodiments, the driving member 320 includes: a pressing portion 321 and a force-applying portion 322. The pressing portion 321 is in the first cavity 100 and has a horizontal degree of freedom of movement to abut against the adjustment ring 310. The force-applying portion 322 is at least partially disposed outside the first cavity 100, and the force-applying portion 322 passes through the first cavity 100 and is connected to the pressing portion 321. It can be understood that the pressing portion 321 can abut against the adjustment ring 310. More specifically, the pressing portion 321 can abut against the outer periphery of the adjustment ring 310. When the force-applying portion 322 acts on the pressing portion 321, the pressing portion 321 is driven to move, and the pressing portion 321 can drive the adjustment ring 310 to move. The force-applying portion 322 in the first cavity 100 can be easily subjected to force. For example, the force-applying portion 322 can be moved by applying force manually, or driven to move by an external driving mechanism. It should be noted that a better sealing structure needs to be configured between the force applying portion 322 and the first cavity 100 to ensure that the working environment of the first cavity 100 is not affected.
[0039] Continue to refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 In some embodiments, the force-applying part 322 is threadedly connected or slidably connected to the first cavity 100.

[0041] It can be understood that the first magnetic component 333 can be connected to the adjustment ring 310, and the second magnetic component 334 can be configured as a magnetic component with the same or opposite magnetism as the first magnetic component 333. By moving the second magnetic component 334 or increasing the magnetic force of the second magnetic component 334, the first magnetic component 333 can be driven relatively close to or away from the second magnetic component 334, and the movement of the first magnetic component 333 can drive the adjustment ring 310 to move synchronously; of course, the first magnetic component 333 can also abut against the adjustment ring 310, and the second magnetic component 334 can drive the first magnetic component 333 to move, and the first magnetic component 333 moves to push the adjustment ring 310 to move.
[0042] In some embodiments, there are at least two driving members 320 and they are respectively arranged on the periphery of the adjustment ring 310, so that the adjustment ring 310 has the freedom of movement in multiple directions on the horizontal plane. It is understandable that there are at least two driving members 320, and the straight lines connecting the centers of at least two driving members 320 and the adjustment ring 310 do not overlap each other, so as to ensure that the adjustment ring 310 can be adjusted to move forward and backward in at least two directions, so that correction can be achieved. Preferably, the number of driving members 320 is configured as an integer multiple of 4, and they are respectively located at different angles on the periphery of the adjustment ring 310.

The transmission part 210 on the top of the antenna 200 is connected to the microwave source, and then the transmission part 210 transmits the microwave to the conversion part 220, so that the previous microwave mode is converted into another microwave. The converted microwave excites the reaction gas to form plasma in the first cavity 100. The plasma is in the shape of a fireball. Through the detection window 610 and the detection unit 620, the deviation value of the plasma relative to the center of the first cavity 100 is obtained. Based on the deviation value, the driving member 320 drives the adjustment ring 310 to move to the corresponding position, thereby controlling the movement and correction of the plasma until the alignment is completed. The reducer 810 outside the second cavity 700 drives the gear 830 to rotate, and the gear 830 rotates to drive the rack 840 to rise, thereby driving the base 710 connected to the rack 840 to rise, and the growth area G on the base 710 also rises synchronously, so as to reach the bottom of the plasma, and the diamond can grow normally.
