The concrete size of slit, big seam, disc waveguide etc. in the cavity is different and different according to the frequency of the standing wave number in the disc waveguide in the design, microwave transmission.The girth of disc waveguide center line is generally the integral multiple of waveguide standing internal wave wavelength.The cross sectional dimensions of disc waveguide is close with the used standard rectangular waveguide of this frequency microwave of transmission.Slit is generally highly half of disc waveguide with the height of big seam, and the width of big seam and the width of disc waveguide cross section are approaching.Concrete size can be by the electromagnetic theory estimation and by the professional software simulation optimization.
Innovation part of the present invention is to propose the structure that slit matches with big seam, this structure, and the uniformity that the reaction chamber internal electric field is distributed improves, and remedies the deficiency of the reaction cavity that only contains narrow slit structure.In actual applications, as long as the center of the big seam of digging on the disc waveguide inwall is at through hole center and cavity center (during the cavity horizontal positioned, this center is the cavity axle center with through hole center same level face) line and extended line on, the level of perhaps big seam center and this line and extended line thereof or vertical range are in half standing wave wavelength, big seam shape is generally rectangle, also can be symmetrical structures such as circle, ellipse, can both make whole Electric Field Distribution be improved significantly.
The size design of cavity of the present invention, the number of slit are selected, choosing etc. of microwave transmission device belongs to mature technology, are not this patent content that needs protection.
Beneficial effect of the present invention:
The present invention on the inwall of disc waveguide, additionally is provided with a kind of structure of big seam based on existing slit microwave plasm reaction cavity again, acting in conjunction by slit and big seam, the reaction chamber internal electric field is evenly distributed, and the plasmoid distribution enlarges, and helps commercial Application.

Embodiment
The invention will be further described below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.
A slit that the present invention proposes and an example structure of large slit combination type microwave plasma reaction cavity are as shown in Figure 3.With the input of 2.45GHz microwave frequency, reaction cavity 32 is the hollow cylinder of vertically placing in the present embodiment, up and down by the detachable airtight (not shown) of flange.At the cavity middle part, being surrounded with a cross section is the disc waveguide 31 of rectangle, and disc waveguide inwall 38 overlaps with the reaction cavity outer wall; Digging on the disc waveguide inwall has eight slits 34 corresponding with the node number of four standing waves in the disc waveguide, and the position of slit is just at standing wave node place; Disc waveguide 31 outer walls have a through hole 35, and this through hole links to each other with circumference mode switch waveguide (perhaps coupled antenna), and microwave transmits in disc waveguide from through hole by the mode switch waveguide; End in disc waveguide 31 also has big seam 33.Cylindrical reaction cavity 32 and disc waveguide 31 are by the brass manufacturing.
The cross section of the disc waveguide of present embodiment is a rectangle, and its standard rectangular waveguide (WR430) cross sectional dimensions to microwave transmission is similar.In disc waveguide, microwave is with TE 10Mode propagation, as calculated, the standing wave wavelength is about 15.5cm, and corresponding disc waveguide center line girth is about 62cm, so the average diameter of disc waveguide is about 20cm.The reaction chamber diameter is between 13~14cm, and the wide 15mm of the high 100mm of slit stitches the wide 50mm of high 100mm greatly.
The reaction chamber internal electric field action principle of present embodiment as shown in Figure 4, among the figure, the microwaves in the disc waveguide 41 will be by slit 44 with TE 41Pattern 46 enters in the reaction chamber 42.And because the restriction of reaction chamber diameter, the microwave mode that enters in the reaction chamber 42 by big seam 43 is mainly TE 11, TM 01Deng low order axial symmetry mould 47, the higher mode major part is cut off, and can not enter cavity, therefore, will form TE in cavity 11, TM 01And TE 41Pattern is main mixing mould, and TE 41Mould forms than highfield near slit 44, and successively decreases TE to the center, chamber 11, TM 01Pattern forms than highfield in the cavity center, and outwards successively decreases, and the stack of several electric fields makes whole electric field more even just.
Fig. 5 calculates reaction chamber internal electric field design sketch for computer, and wherein: (a) being the design sketch of common eight slit reaction chambers, (b) is the reaction chamber design sketch of present embodiment.Contrast the reaction chamber of two seam combinations of common eight slit reaction chambers and present embodiment, can obviously find out of the improvement effect of the structure of invention the chamber internal electric field.Big seam and slit are in conjunction with in the cavity, and relative dimensions is through behind the simulation optimization, and big seam partially overlaps with the slit of its both sides, shows as a big seam and six slits in the drawings.As seen from the figure, in the common large area microwave plasma cavity of eight slits is only arranged, the high value zone of electric field (height of representing electric field value among the figure with the depth of grey) concentrate near the slit and disc waveguide in, be unfavorable for the acquisition of cavity centre plasma, and the cavity body structure of big seam of the present invention and slit combination, the high value of the electric field that obtains zone is in whole cavity, and the cavity internal electric field is evenly distributed, surface area electric field difference more than 2/3 helps to obtain plasma relatively uniformly in 30%.Simultaneously, the disc waveguide internal electric field is lower, and the conversion efficiency of energy in the chamber is higher.
This embodiment has pointed out the improvement effect of the cavity body structure of two kinds of seam cooperations to electric field, and this structure helps the acquisition of homogeneous plasma.Utilize the principle of this combination, can design different slit numbers and the big cavity body structure that stitches combination.Because slit number, cavity size all can change, the electric field patterns that produces might not be identical with example, but, should belong to the range of structures that the present invention is contained as long as the comprehensive electric field in the reaction chamber is to rely on slit and big synergistic effect of stitching the electric field that produces that its uniformity is improved.
