[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Reference Figures 2-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a flip-top butterfly-shaped cavity, including a worktable 1 and a magnetic control head 2. A three-pin adjusting tube 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the magnetic control head 2. An adjusting seat 11 is fixedly connected to the right end of the three-pin adjusting tube 3. Three pin adjusting screws 5 are threadedly connected to the inner wall of the adjusting seat 11. A first knob 4 is fixedly connected to the right end of each pin adjusting screw 5. The pin adjusting screws 5 penetrate the inner wall of the right end of the three-pin adjusting tube 3. A condensate inlet 6 is opened at the upper front end of the adjusting seat 11, and a condensate outlet 7 is opened at the lower front end of the adjusting seat 11. A ventilation connector 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the three-pin adjusting tube 3. A microwave conduit 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the three-pin adjusting tube 3. A microwave mode converter 9 is fixedly connected to the right end of the microwave conduit 12. A rectangular waveguide 13 is fixedly connected to the right end of the microwave mode converter 9. (See reference...) Figure 7 and Figure 8 A piston adjusting screw 15 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the right end of the rectangular waveguide 13. A second knob 14 is fixedly connected to the right end of the piston adjusting screw 15. A short-circuit piston 16 is rotatably connected to the left end of the piston adjusting screw 15. (Refer to...) Figure 5 A condensate connector 10 is fixedly connected to the front end of the microwave mode converter 9 for cooling the microwave mode converter 9.
[0030] Specifically, the microwave transmitted in the three-pin adjusting tube 3 couples with the pin adjusting screw 5, causing some of the microwave energy to be absorbed by the pin adjusting screw 5 and converted into heat energy, resulting in an increase in screw temperature. The adjusting seat 11 has a condensate flow tank. By connecting the condensate inlet 6, the condensate flows in the condensate flow tank, cooling the high-temperature pin adjusting screw 5. At the same time, cold air is blown into the bottom ventilation joint 8 to cool the pin adjusting screw 5 inserted in the three-pin adjusting tube 3, thus achieving dual cooling of air and water, improving the cooling effect. The microwave mode converter 9 generates a lot of heat when converting microwaves. Cold water is connected through the condensate joint 10, allowing the condensate to circulate and carry away the heat generated inside the mechanical equipment, maintaining the normal operation of the mechanical equipment and ensuring product quality and production efficiency.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 A base 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the microwave mode converter 9. The bottom of the base 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the worktable 1. Two first support columns 18 and two second support columns 21 are fixedly connected to the rear side of the top of the worktable 1. A connecting plate 19 is rotatably connected to one end of the first support column 18. A butterfly cavity 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 19. A nitrogen spring 22 is rotatably connected to one end of the second support column 21. The other end of the nitrogen spring 22 is rotatably connected to the left and right ends of the connecting plate 19. Multiple observation windows 23 are provided on the outer wall of the butterfly cavity 20 for observing the production status of the wafer on the base 17. A temperature sensor 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the butterfly cavity 20 for detecting the center temperature of the grown wafer and uploading the data information to the terminal.
[0032] Specifically, a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the butterfly cavity 20 for easy opening and closing. The connecting plate 19 controls the opening and closing of the butterfly cavity 20 through a nitrogen spring 22. The top of the base 17 is provided with a concave slope, while the bottom of the butterfly cavity 20 is provided with a convex slope opposite to the concave slope of the base 17, so that they fit together. At the same time, a sealing ring is provided on the butterfly cavity 20. When closed, the sealing ring will undergo elastic deformation under external pressure. This deformation allows the sealing ring to fit tightly against the sealed surface, separating the inside and outside of the cavity and completing the sealing of the inside and outside of the cavity. The temperature sensor 24 fixed to the top of the butterfly cavity 20 can monitor the temperature of the wafer on the base 17 in real time and upload the information to the terminal. At the same time, the observation window 23 on the outside of the butterfly cavity 20 can observe the production status of the wafer on the base 17.
[0033] Working principle: First, the nitrogen spring 22 extends to open the butterfly cavity 20, allowing the wafer to be placed on the base 17. Then, the nitrogen spring 22 retracts to close the butterfly cavity 20. After closing the butterfly cavity 20, the air inside the cavity is evacuated by a vacuum device to achieve the vacuum environment for MPCVD production. Then, the magnetron 2 is started by an external microwave power supply, generating microwaves. The microwaves pass through the three-pin adjustment tube 3. By rotating the first knob 4, the pin adjustment screw 5 is rotated, changing the length of the pin adjustment screw 5 inside the three-pin adjustment tube 3, thereby adjusting the standing wave and phase of the reflected microwaves. After passing through the three-pin adjustment tube 3, the microwaves enter the microwave... The microwave enters the microwave mode converter 9 through the microwave conduit 12. The microwave loss can be reduced by passing through the rectangular waveguide 13 on the right. Rotating the second knob 14 drives the piston adjusting screw 15 to rotate, causing the piston adjusting screw 15 to drive the short-circuit piston 16 to move back and forth in the rectangular waveguide 13, adjusting the impedance matching under different power and air pressure to reduce microwave loss. Finally, the microwave is introduced into the base 17 through the conversion antenna at the bottom of the microwave mode converter 9, and plasma is generated in the space above the base 17. The design of the base 17 and the butterfly cavity 20 and the characteristics of microwaves make the activated plasma elliptically distributed in the MPCVD cavity. Moreover, the cavity structure makes the flattening of the elliptical distribution larger than that of other devices, which can generate a more uniform electric field distribution.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
