EXAMPLE III
The Fig. 3 that belongs to EXAMPLE III schematically shows the microwave distributor based on coaxial conductor.To be connected the microwave energy that the microwave feeds device on the microwave delivery section 30 produced at this and be dispensed to two paths, thereby can supply the only about half of of employed microwave energy respectively by parallelly connected inner wire 2 to two of the microwave plasma source that is connected.Thereby this microwave distributor also can be called two road microwave distributors for short.
According to advantageous manner, the microwave feeds device is connected with microwave delivery section 30, as among the Fig. 1 that implements I, realizing on wave converter 7 by means of coaxial outer conductor 6.At this, microwave delivery section 30 will be as new coaxial inner conductor coaxial outer conductor 6 inner extensions until passing waveguide transition joint 9.
Two road microwave distributors mainly comprise solid ground connection piece 27 and vacuum flange 32, and this ground connection piece 27 is processed by electric conducting material, and this vacuum flange 32 is connected with cylindrical base 33 vacuum-tights.Preferably the rectangle flange is used as vacuum flange at this.By means of vacuum seal 34, vacuum flange 32 is twisted with vacuum chamber 4 vacuum-tights and is connect.Be implemented as coaxial outer conductor in ground connection piece 27 holes inner and that extend between two parties with respect to matrix 33, and these holes penetrate ground connection piece 27 and matrix 33 fully.These two coaxial outer conductors are connected with an additional coaxial outer conductor that extends transverse to them, obtain the coaxial conductor layout of about H shape thus in ground connection piece 27 inside.Conduit 28 and lateral member 31 placed in the middle insertions in the coaxial outer conductor, each coaxial inner conductor of conduit 28 and lateral member 31 these coaxial conductor structures of formation thus.In order to improve the axial restraint of these coaxial inner conductors, supporting slice that for example can application drawing 3 unshowned other dielectrics.Microwave delivery section 30 obtains T just as spindle guide body layout together with lateral member 31, also abbreviates T shape distributor as.The transition joint of the cylindrical thickening part shown on the lateral member 31 and 31 to two conduits 28 of lateral member is used to compensate the field that occurs at the tie point place of coaxial inner conductor to be disturbed.
Yet λ/4 pipe joints are also removable in coaxial outer conductor inside, thereby these λ/4 pipe joints become λ/4 sliding parts.For example can realize that thus the microwave energy allocation proportion adapts to these two paths of two road microwave distributors, perhaps can wholely improve two road microwave distributors adapt to plasma source according to microwave technology loading condition.Also can stipulate according to advantageous manner, a waveguide transition joint is embodied as λ/4 pipe joints, another waveguide transition joint is embodied as λ/4 sliding parts.
Make this two road microwave distributors, especially H is arranged on ground connection piece 27 inside just as spindle guide body layout, very harsh to the requirement of manufacturing technology aspect.Therefore ground connection piece 27 should be combined by at least two monolithics on the axis of coaxial outer conductor.And then can mill out each coaxial outer conductor halfbody from each monolithic relatively simply.H can make and be arranged in one of them monolithic through supporting slice just as axle inner wire layout in advance.Subsequently these two monolithics are very closely twisted each other and connect and be connected with vacuum flange 32 subsequently.
