Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to diamond processing equipment technical field, specifically, relate to a quartz microwave window. BACKGROUND

[0002] Microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) technology has become the preferred method widely adopted by current researchers and industry due to its outstanding performance in synthesizing high-quality diamonds. Compared to other plasma generation technologies, MPCVD has significant advantages: first, it avoids the contamination of diamond by electrode materials, thereby ensuring the purity and quality of diamond; second, the controllability of this technology is excellent, allowing precise adjustment of various parameters during the deposition process, such as temperature, pressure, and gas flow, to meet the needs of different application scenarios; in addition, the high density of microwave-excited plasma helps to achieve rapid and uniform deposition of diamonds.

[0003] In the process of diamond preparation using a 45GHz electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source, the microwave window, as a key component, has a dual role: on the one hand, it is responsible for effectively feeding microwave energy into the reaction chamber, resonating with the cyclotron electrons, thereby exciting and maintaining the stable generation of plasma; on the other hand, the microwave window also plays a role in sealing the vacuum, ensuring that the vacuum environment inside the reaction chamber is not disturbed by external interference. However, during long-term operation, the microwave window is continuously subjected to the impact of high-energy plasma and backflowing electrons. These high-energy particles interact with the surface of the microwave window, causing its temperature to rise significantly. This continuous high-temperature environment accelerates the aging process of the silicone material on the microwave window, which may lead to sealing failure, affecting the stability and reliability of the entire system.
