Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention pertains] The present invention relates to a method of marking an ion on a solid stone using an ion strike. [Prior Art] Since diamonds are the hardest substance in the world, -1 milk cows have not been able to do it on the past. Due to the invention of lasers and ion beams, it is now possible to use their energy beam to perform lithography on the diamond surface. The mark formed on the diamond can be reduced to the naked eye or the micro-magnification that is not detectable by the magnifying glass ten times ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ and this fine sub-Asia does not affect the clarity or color grade of the diamond. In addition, the mark can also be visible to the naked eye, and the micro-engraving process can produce a special visual effect to enhance the attractiveness of the diamond. For example, the mark on the diamond can be the A, quotient & which is responsible for cutting, grinding and setting the diamond. It can also be a photo of a reduced signature, jeweler or artist. In principle, the marks produced by laser or ion beam can be used for identification purposes. Marking techniques for different energy ion beams have been applied to the patterning of gemstones. = For example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,773,116, 6,391,215 and 5,773, ii6, the super-return vacuum focused ion beam micro-milling device and process are disclosed. In addition, a persistent data storage tool utilizing a micro-milling process is also disclosed in which a persistent data storage tool can be used to store, for example, alpha or alphanumdc characters and graphics or characters. U.S. Patent No. 6,391,215 discloses the formation of a macroscopic data mark on a diamond-polished surface which is covered with a conductive layer on the surface of the diamond to avoid the charge of the diamond, to focus the ion beam to form the mark and to remove it by the powerful sodium oxide π. The surface of the diamond is shown to have the appropriate depth of the mark. The material label does not affect the clarity and color grade of the diamond itself. However, the identification mark formed by the marking methods is easy to forge, so 0758-A20955TWF (N2,; 07A-930616; u〇fung 5 1253406 is not sufficient to provide the forensic function. [Inventive content] The main purpose of the present invention is to utilize The problem 'to form a special pattern with a nano-level to solve the above-mentioned not only can be used to prove the jewel itself, the pattern of the 旻 。. The pattern 々丨 4 main surname ^ also applies to other valuables with diamonds - such as watches, Sculpture 1 and other works of art. According to the invention, the method is applied to the diamond watch _ method, which can control the square of the pixel when the pixel stays.

According to the present invention, there is further provided a method of forming a gemstone having a pattern on the surface. According to the present invention, a valuable item with the gemstone is provided. In other words, the present invention provides a method for engraving a diamond surface without the method of exposing the surface of the gemstone to a distance of 45-85 degrees from its normal, which is preferably at (four) degrees. The better angle is about 55-65 and 60-degree is more appropriate. The method can also engrave the second pattern on the surface of the diamond/, the surface area of the first-figure diamond can be large and the pattern can be selectively ..., a print mouth, a figure or a signature. Wherein the ion beam can be a focused ion beam, preferably having a diameter of 5 nm. Another method of engraving an unrepeatable pattern on the surface of a diamond includes placing a mask between the beam output and the surface of the diamond, exposing the unmasked area of the mask to an ion beam of I 45_85 degrees from the normal to the surface of the diamond. Preferably, the angle is about 50 70 degrees and the angle of the better angle is about 55_65 degrees and more preferably (10) degrees. The step of providing a mask includes covering a surface of the diamond with a barrier layer and selectively removing a portion of the barrier layer to expose one or more regions of the ion beam to be engraved, wherein the ion beam can be argon ions. 0578-A20955TWF(N2); 07A-930010; uofung 1253406 The present invention also provides a method for drilling a surface-extracted article having a pattern of a stone formed by the above method, which is attached to the article and permanently formed with a pattern formed by the above method. The above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the invention can be more clearly understood and described in detail with respect to the embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which are described in detail below: [Embodiment] The present invention is described in detail below.

Since the current focused ion beam is: Solution #ί径大5 nanometer ion beam, so theoretically can produce w nai phase two pattern. In addition, the entire pattern can also be the size of the diamond 2g itself: the micro-engraving process of the focused ion beam 10, the number of patterns produced ^ gentleman Stored in the computer 5〇 to control the size of the pattern (4), per-pixel: between % and the order of pixel exposure.

By changing „ ^ The order of exposure and the sound of the FIB disk and the sound of the soil (4) The image of the image, the characteristics of the second grade of the second grade = the angle of incidence can be shaped (four) but the J version of the pattern. Its " the best ion beam and the surface of the diamond 0575-j • A20955TWF(N2);07A-930010;uofung 7 1253406 The incident direction is generally 45-85 degrees, and its preferred angle is about 5〇_7〇. The better angle is about 55-65 degrees and 60 degrees is more appropriate. ς As shown in the & figure, in the 0# Atomic and M〇lecular section 2', point the TM to the predetermined area and engrave the scaled version (as shown) on the diamond surface. The most important structure of this image is the fingerprint texture marked on and = and the texture is naturally away from Formed during the sub-bombardment process, the gentleman can only control the overall appearance and impression and cannot control the surface morphology in detail. =Do not use the same TM micro-engraving under the same experimental conditions to benefit the texture. The texture that can't be reproduced at the rice level can prove the credibility of the diamond 2G with its own uniqueness. This nano texture is very similar to the design and pattern that often appears in the sculpture 2, which is carved by the sculptor. Special::; technology made. Figure 4a shows the scan of the nano texture of another embodiment = image, and Figure 4b shows the measurement of the surface roughness. Fang go = the figure shown in the figure is another type of diamond formed on the diamond 20 to form a naphne pattern: =: the stone surface is covered with a barrier layer 7 〇, and then the lithography process is used to expose the condition and there is a wind like Ion) 60 areas of mine reduction. According to the ion sputtering, the pattern of the mural texture is similar to, but not identical to, the pattern formed by the TM minus the diamond on the diamond. The ^Γί method combines a high-speed wide ion beam with a highly accurate focused ion beam, with larger and smaller patterns of different nanotexture features. Scale;:, = _ process is highly productive and accurate, so it is undoubtedly the best way to master the rules of chess. Eight object: The stone texture pattern that can not be copied by the stone death mark can be used to verify the authenticity of the expensive upper hole iu曰ί. For example, in watches, sculptures and competitions, c can increase its aesthetics and can be used as a standard for authenticity.

The use of this will make the two == The combination of the powers and the likes is intended to distinguish between the two. Although the foregoing description has been disclosed above in the preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present. Anyone who abstains from this skill does not leave. In the spirit and scope of the present invention, the invention may be modified and retouched, and thus the protection of the present invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
