The Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (MPCVD) single crystal diamond growth technology is one of the most promising technologies for preparing large-size and high-quality single crystal diamond because of the advantages of no pollution of microwave energy, pure gas raw materials and the like.
Currently, microwave plasma CVD is considered to be an ideal method of depositing diamond. The principle is as follows: under the action of microwave energy, the deposition gas is excited into a plasma state, electrons in the cavity collide with each other and generate intense oscillation under the action of an electromagnetic field generated by microwaves, and the mutual collision among other atoms, groups and molecules in the resonant cavity is promoted, so that the ionization degree of the reaction gas is effectively improved, and the generation of plasma with higher density is generated. In the reaction process, the ionization degree of the raw material gas reaches more than 10 percent, so that the cavity is filled with supersaturated atomic hydrogen and carbon-containing groups, thereby effectively improving the deposition rate and improving the deposition quality of the diamond.
In the diamond produced by MPCVD, the main impurity elements present are nitrogen and silicon, wherein nitrogen impurities come from equipment leakage, raw material gas impurities, or nitrogen atoms adsorbed by the wall, etc., and silicon elements come from etching of quartz windows by plasma. However, in the existing MPCVD device, a quartz sealing ring window is polluted by etching in the production process, and the deposition efficiency is low due to microwave energy dispersion; meanwhile, the adjusting device is too redundant, plasma jumping up and down occurs when the sample table is adjusted, and the utilization rate of raw gas is not high; the problem of low diamond yield caused by uneven heat dissipation of the deposition table.
