Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of microwave impedance matching technology, and in particular to an impedance matching method, system, terminal, and storage medium for MPCVD equipment. Background Art
[0002] In MPCVD (Microwave Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition) equipment, microwaves are coupled into the reaction chamber via waveguides to excite the gas and form a plasma, which is used to grow high-quality diamond films. To achieve efficient energy transmission and avoid damage to the microwave source, the microwave system must maintain good impedance matching, minimizing reflected power. Traditional equipment commonly uses a "triple stub tuner" for manual adjustment. The operator rotates three metal probes (pins) located on the waveguide to change their insertion depth, thereby adjusting the microwave field distribution and achieving impedance matching. However, this method has several drawbacks: It relies on manual experience, requiring the operator to adjust based on experience and feedback from reflected power values, which is highly subjective and leads to poor consistency.

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and effects of this application clearer and more specific, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. The described embodiments are only possible technical implementations of this application and are not all possible implementations. Based on the embodiments in this application, those skilled in the art can fully combine the embodiments of this application to obtain other embodiments without creative work, and these embodiments are also within the scope of protection of this application.
[0020] In the related art, manual operation struggles to achieve high-precision adjustment of the three pin positions, resulting in low accuracy. This leads to inaccurate adjustment of microwave reflected power, which in turn affects the quality and consistency of diamond growth. When rapid adjustment of microwave reflected power is required based on process requirements, manual operation is far slower than automated control systems. This slow response can easily lead to missed optimal adjustment opportunities, impacting product quality. Prolonged fine-tuning can easily fatigue operators, especially when frequent adjustments are required. The high labor intensity not only reduces work efficiency but also increases the likelihood of error. Because individual operating habits and judgment criteria may vary, ensuring consistent operation from one operation to the next is difficult, resulting in poor repeatability, a significant challenge for production processes requiring strict parameter control. Purely manual control often lacks real-time data feedback, making it difficult for operators to understand the current working status and results. This lack of real-time monitoring and feedback prevents rapid adjustments. In some situations, such as those involving high temperatures, high pressures, or hazardous substances, manual operation can pose a health and safety risk to the operator. Compared to automated systems, manual control often requires more time to complete the same task, resulting in lower overall production efficiency. During manual operation, the response speed is slow and it is impossible to respond in real time to dynamic changes in the process (such as changes in gas composition, pressure, and temperature); the repeatability is poor, and the adjustment results vary greatly between different batches or different operators, affecting the stability of product quality; the labor intensity is high and there are safety hazards. Operations must be carried out near the microwave area when the equipment is running, which poses a risk of electromagnetic radiation.
[0021] It can be understood that MPCVD, Microwave Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition (MPCVD), is a core device used for growing high-quality diamond films, and achieves material deposition through microwave-excited plasma.
[0022] To address the problem of impedance mismatch in the microwave system caused by manual adjustment of the three pins in the MPCVD equipment, this application collects the reflected power data of the MPCVD equipment and electrically controls the three pins to adjust their positions so that the reflected power can be stably controlled, thereby ensuring efficient transmission of microwave energy and achieving high-precision impedance matching.
[0023] The following specific embodiments are used to describe the technical solution of the present application in detail. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.
[0024] like Figure 1As shown, the MPCVD equipment described in the preferred embodiment of this application is equipped with three motorized pins, each connected to a transmission module equipped with a stepper motor and coupling. The motor is fixed to a dedicated bracket on the outer wall of the waveguide, and the output shaft is connected to the original manual lead screw via a flexible coupling, achieving seamless transmission. Combined with a motor with a minimum step angle of 0.005492 degrees, high resolution can be achieved. By utilizing a high-performance closed-loop stepper motor driver, this application supports micro-control (up to 64 subdivisions), ensuring smooth and vibration-free operation and multi-axis synchronous control capabilities.
[0025] Furthermore, the pins, controlled by a motor, move up and down to adjust the microwave reflection path within the resonant cavity and optimize the plasma distribution. A connecting rod connects the rigid components of the three pins, ensuring synchronous movement of the pins. A through-axis stepper motor is used to drive the connecting rod up and down via a screw drive, enabling precise adjustment of the pin position (small lead and high precision). A limit ring is set on the outside of the connecting rod to prevent the pin from moving beyond its travel, protecting the equipment. In the cooling system, a water-cooled copper tube surrounds the pin area, circulating cooling water to remove heat generated by the high-temperature plasma and maintain a stable equipment temperature. A copper tube clamp ensures a reliable connection between the cooling pipe and the cavity, preventing leakage caused by vibration.
[0026] In this application, three pins are arranged in an equilateral triangle, with maximum spacing to improve positioning accuracy. The pin axes are perpendicular to the cavity axis to ensure symmetry in microwave reflection. A stepper motor drives the connecting rod, which moves the three pins up and down synchronously, changing the distribution of the microwave field within the cavity and thus controlling the density and uniformity of the plasma.
[0027] The impedance matching method of the MPCVD device described in the preferred embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the impedance matching method of the MPCVD device includes the following steps: In step S101, the initial reflected power of the MPCVD device during operation is obtained.
[0028] Specifically, after the MPCVD equipment is started, the system reads the initial reflected power in real time through the microwave detection module to determine the current impedance matching state.
[0029] In step S102, if the initial reflected power is greater than a preset threshold, the positions of the three pins are adjusted multiple times to obtain current reflected power data of the MPCVD device.
[0030] Specifically, if the initial reflected power exceeds a preset threshold, the automatic matching algorithm is triggered; otherwise, the algorithm remains in standby mode. It is understood that users can customize the preset threshold to reflect the system's upper limit on reflected power tolerance. It is understood that the preset threshold is a numerical value, and its value can be set based on actual requirements. It can be a percentage (e.g., 5%) or a fixed value, and is not specifically limited here.
[0031] In one possible implementation, the current reflected power data includes a first reflected power, a second reflected power, and a third reflected power. The positions of the three pins are adjusted for a first time to obtain a first reflected power of the MPCVD device, wherein the first reflected power is less than the initial reflected power. The positions of the three pins are adjusted for a second time to obtain a second reflected power of the MPCVD device. The positions of the three pins are adjusted for a preset number of times to obtain at least one third reflected power of the MPCVD device.
[0032] In one possible implementation, before adjusting the positions of the three pins for the first time, historical data of the MPCVD device is obtained; based on the initial reflected power and the historical data, the adjustment direction of the three pins is determined to adjust the positions of the three pins for the first time according to the adjustment direction.
[0033] Specifically, the position of each pin is adjusted sequentially (for example, by slightly moving it up or down) to observe changes in reflected power. If the reflected power decreases in a particular direction after adjustment, it is marked as a favorable direction; if it increases, it is marked as an unfavorable direction. It can be understood that the three pins are adjusted simultaneously, and the feedback from the three directions is integrated to select the globally optimal adjustment path.
[0034] In one possible implementation, during a first adjustment of the three pins, the three pins are controlled along the adjustment direction to perform a first front-middle position adjustment at a fixed step size, and the three pins are controlled along the adjustment direction to perform a first tail position adjustment at a dynamic step size, thereby obtaining a first reflected power of the MPCVD device, wherein the fixed step size is greater than the dynamic step size. During a second adjustment, the three pins are controlled along the adjustment direction to perform a second front-middle position adjustment at a fixed step size, and the three pins are controlled along the adjustment direction to perform a second tail position adjustment at a dynamic step size, thereby obtaining a second reflected power of the MPCVD device.
[0035] During the third adjustment process, if the second reflected power is less than the first reflected power, the three pins are continued to be controlled along the adjustment direction to adjust the front and middle sections for the third time at a fixed step size, and the three pins are controlled along the adjustment direction to adjust the tail section position for the third time at a dynamic step size to obtain the third reflected power of the MPCVD device; if the second reflected power is greater than the first reflected power, the three pins are controlled along the reverse direction of the adjustment direction to adjust the front and middle sections for the third time at a fixed step size, and the three pins are controlled along the reverse direction of the adjustment direction to adjust the tail section position for the third time at a dynamic step size to obtain the third reflected power of the MPCVD device.
[0036] It can be understood that the fixed step size is a larger step size (such as 0.1mm) used in the initial stage to quickly approach the optimal zone; the dynamic step size is that after approaching the optimal zone, the step size gradually decreases (such as 0.01mm) to avoid oscillation.
[0037] Specifically, if the current reflection frequency is less than the previous reflection frequency, the adjustment is continued in the current direction; if the current reflection frequency is greater than or equal to the previous reflection frequency, the adjustment is reversed or the step size is reduced.
[0038] In step S103, a target reflected power is determined according to the current reflected power data, wherein the target reflected power is less than the preset threshold.
[0039] In one possible implementation, the preset number of times is multiple, and the number of the third reflected powers is multiple. When the first reflected power, the second reflected power, and the third reflected power corresponding to the third position adjustment are all less than a preset threshold, the first difference between the second reflected power and the first reflected power is calculated, and the second difference between the third reflected power and the second reflected power is calculated. If the first difference and the second difference are both within a preset range, the minimum value among the first reflected power, the second reflected power, and the third reflected power is used as the target reflected power; or when multiple consecutive third reflected powers are all less than the preset threshold, the power difference between each two adjacent ones of the multiple consecutive third reflected powers is calculated. If the multiple power differences are all within the preset range, the minimum value among the multiple consecutive third reflected powers is used as the target reflected power; or The minimum value among the first reflected power, the second reflected power and the plurality of third reflected powers is used as the target reflected power.
[0040] Specifically, if the reflected power is lower than the threshold for N consecutive times (e.g., 3 times) and the fluctuation is less than the tolerance range (e.g., ±1%), the iteration terminates; or if the maximum number of adjustment steps (e.g., 50 steps) is reached, the iteration terminates to prevent an infinite loop.
[0041] In step S104, the three pins are adjusted to target positions according to the target reflected power to complete the impedance matching of the MPCVD device.
[0042] In one possible implementation, when the target reflected power is the third reflected power of the last time, the current position of the three pins corresponding to the third reflected power is used as the target position; when the target reflected power is not the third reflected power of the last time, the target position of the three pins is determined according to the target reflected power, and the three pins are controlled to adjust to the target position.
[0043] Specifically, when the termination condition is met, it is determined that the matching is completed and the motor movement is stopped.
[0044] In one possible implementation, the current process mode of the MPCVD device is obtained; the target position is used as the set position corresponding to the current process mode, so that when the MPCVD device is in the current process mode next time, the three pins are adjusted to the corresponding set positions.
[0045] Specifically, after the matching is completed, the current three-pin positions and adjustment parameters (such as step size and convergence time) are recorded and saved to the process database for subsequent reuse.
[0046] The specific implementation of this application is described below in conjunction with a specific application scenario.
[0047] In the automatic matching mode, start the MPCVD equipment and ignite the plasma. The system reads the current reflected power r p If r p When the reflected power exceeds the threshold, the automatic matching algorithm is activated. The controller uses the "hill climbing method" to gradually adjust the positions of the three pins to find the minimum point of reflected power. The hill climbing method is a feedback-based successive approximation optimization algorithm. Its core idea is to "adjust the pin position in the direction that can reduce the reflected power, step by step downhill, until a better direction is found." It does not rely on the system model and is simple to implement. It is particularly suitable for engineering problems such as microwave matching with complex input-output relationships and difficult to model. When r p When the reflected power remains below the threshold for a certain period of time, adjustment stops. This threshold is when the reflected power on the touch screen is relatively low and the value does not "jump." Record the optimal parameters for subsequent processes.
[0048] In the preset process mode, users can pre-save multiple sets of "process recipes", including the target positions and matching conditions of the three pins; they can be called with one click under the same process conditions to achieve fast matching.
[0049] In this application, dual limits of software and hardware are set to prevent motor overshoot; the current position is automatically memorized in the event of an abnormal power outage; an electromagnetic compatibility design is adopted, and the motor cable uses shielded twisted pair cable, away from microwave paths; the emergency stop button can immediately cut off the power to all motors.
[0050] This application can significantly improve the matching accuracy, the stepper motor can achieve micron-level positioning, and the reflected power can be stably controlled within 1%; this application has a fast response speed, and the time from startup to completion of matching is shortened from 5-10 minutes manually to 30-60 seconds; this application has high process repeatability, and the matching results between different batches are consistent, which improves the uniformity and quality stability of the diamond film layer; this application can reduce manual dependence, reduce dependence on operating experience, and reduce training costs; this application supports intelligent integration and can be connected to the factory MES system to achieve remote monitoring and data traceability; this application can improve safety, avoid close operation of personnel in a microwave environment, and reduce occupational health risks; this application can extend equipment life and reduce the risk of magnetron damage due to high reflected power.
