A kind of welding process of sapphire wafer
[technical field]
The present invention relates to sapphire technical field, relate in particular to a kind of welding process of sapphire wafer, be specifically related to a kind of method of utilizing thermograde welding sapphire wafer.
[background technology]
Known, sapphire has excellent optical property, mechanical property and chemical stability, its intensity is high, hardness is large, resistance to erosion and anticorrosive, can under the mal-condition that approaches 2000 DEG C of high temperature, work, and it also has good heat conductivity and electric insulating quality, the most important thing is that sapphire also has good light transmission, be widely used in infrared window, the technical fields such as high strength optics window and medicine equipment, along with the continuous increase of optics volume, demand to large-size sapphire wafer goods is also increasing, and sapphire wafer in when growth owing to being subject to the restriction of existing growing technology and specification of equipment, the specification of sapphire wafer all cannot meet the demand of optical window, in order to solve this technical problem, just multiple sapphire wafers need to be combined, to reach the requirement of size aspect.
The mode of existing sapphire wafer combination is for utilizing stickup slurry to carry out bonding to sapphire wafer, cemented side seam by the bonding sapphire wafer of the method can not bear high temperature and high pressure, and the pressure-bearing degree of cemented side seam is fallen and is several times lower than even tens times than the pressure-bearing degree of sapphire wafer; Or by ionic fluid etch method, sapphire wafer is connected, the sapphire wafer tensile strength that the method connects is very little, only has 10Mpa left and right; Or by method for brazing, sapphire wafer is connected, the connecting portion of the sapphire wafer that the method connects is opaque, thereby the web member obtaining can not be used as optical window etc.
In sum, above-mentioned to the method for attachment of sapphire wafer because the intensity of binding surface is all well below the intensity of sapphire wafer, all there will be wire at binding surface simultaneously, the sapphire wafer of welding really cannot be fused into one and form a complete single crystal, and then cannot meet preferably the requirement etc. of optical window.

[summary of the invention]
For overcoming the deficiency existing in background technology, the invention provides a kind of welding process of sapphire wafer, the present invention has thermograde well heater by employing heats the binding surface of sapphire wafer, after the binding surface of sapphire wafer melts, reduce the Heating temperature of well heater, and then the binding surface that makes sapphire wafer crystallization make the sapphire wafer of welding form a complete single crystal again from two ends to centre, greatly widen the Application Areas of sapphire wafer etc.
For realizing goal of the invention as above, the present invention adopts technical scheme as described below:
A welding process for sapphire wafer, described welding process comprises the steps:
The first step, get all the sapphire wafer ready;
Second step, connect step, the sapphire wafer for the treatment of welding is fixed in airtight body of heater, and makes the binding surface for the treatment of welding sapphire wafer in thering is the well heater of thermograde;
The 3rd step, connect step, the well heater in the utilization of gas shield environment with thermograde heats the welding end of sapphire wafer, when heating, the temperature of sapphire wafer joint is the highest, the temperature at joint two ends is step-down formation temperature gradient gradually, after the joint of sapphire wafer melts, slowly reduce the Heating temperature of well heater, make sapphire wafer make binding surface and sapphire wafer form a complete single crystal from both sides to joint while recrystallize, or when heating, the temperature of sapphire wafer joint and sapphire wafer termination, one end is high, the temperature of the other end sapphire wafer is by outwards step-down formation temperature gradient gradually of interface, after the joint of sapphire wafer melts, slowly reduce the Heating temperature of well heater, make sapphire wafer make binding surface and sapphire wafer form a complete single crystal from the low one end of temperature to joint recrystallize,
The 4th step, connect step, continue to reduce the Heating temperature of well heater, and progressively temperature is reduced to normal temperature state, then take out the sapphire wafer after welding.
The welding process of described sapphire wafer, on body of heater described in described second step, be respectively equipped with air-bleed system and inflation inlet, in body of heater, be provided with clamping device, described clamping device clamping sapphire wafer, on sapphire wafer joint, be provided with well heater or below sapphire wafer joint, be provided with well heater or on sapphire wafer joint and below be respectively equipped with well heater, described well heater connects high frequency electric source.
The welding process of described sapphire wafer, the sapphire wafer that described the 4th step is obtained after welding polishes and polishing.
Adopt technical scheme as above, the present invention has superiority as described below:
The welding process of a kind of sapphire wafer of the present invention, the present invention has thermograde well heater binding surface to sapphire wafer under gas shield environment by employing heats, after the binding surface of sapphire wafer melts, reduce the Heating temperature of well heater, and then the binding surface that makes sapphire wafer crystallization make the sapphire wafer of welding form a complete single crystal again from two ends to centre, the resistance to impact shock of sapphire wafer interface and the resistance to impact shock of sapphire wafer are consistent, greatly widen the Application Areas of sapphire wafer etc.
