A kind of Seed crystal substrate original position method of attachment of isoepitaxial growth single-crystal diamond
Technical field
The present invention relates to the Seed crystal substrate original position method of attachment of isoepitaxial growth single-crystal diamond.
Background technology
In recent years, large size single crystal diamond and quasi- single-crystal diamond are due to its high hardness, highest thermal conductivity, pole
Wide electromagnetism passes through frequency range, excellent Radiation hardness and decay resistance, in Precision Machining, high frequency communications, space flight aerospace, point
Based on the high-tech areas such as end technology day by day become, crucial or even unique material solution.Traditional artificial single crystal's Buddha's warrior attendant
Stone is using High Temperature High Pressure (HPHT) method, and the diamond that the method is prepared is impure more, and defect concentration is higher, and quality is relatively
Poor, and size is less, differs greatly compared with the demand of related application, leads to the HPHT diamond scope of application narrower, is expert at
It is in downstream, profit is low, and competitiveness is not strong in industry.
Compared to HPHT method, microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MWCVD) method is that preparing of generally acknowledging at present is big
One of best approach of size single crystal diamond, the method preparation single-crystal diamond have impurity concentration low, through wide waveband,
The advantages of defect concentration is low, size is larger and growth rate is controlled is it is considered to be promise to be following production in enormous quantities people most
The method making diamond.
During the method epitaxial growth single-crystal diamond, diamond seed and axiolitic plasma directly contact, therefore
The concentration of the temperature of control seed crystal face and plasma is the factor of non-the normally off key:Temperature is too high to lead to diamond surface
There is graphitization, temperature is too low to lead to declining to a great extent of seeded growth quality;Meanwhile, the concentration of plasma and uniformity
Growth quality on seed crystal and speed have very big impact.Therefore seed crystal needs to place in place, and is in suitably
Under temperature field and uniform plasma density, the high-quality fast-growth of guarantee seed crystal.
During the course of the reaction, diamond seed is typically placed in metal molybdenum substrate, and metal molybdenum substrate is positioned over MWCVD
On the base of instrument.Due to the quality very little of diamond seed itself, only tens milligrams, in instrument evacuation and be passed through reaction
During gas, seed crystal is easily blown by air-flow, leads to seed crystal position deviation optimum position, causes the big of temperature and plasma density
Amplitude variation, has a strong impact on the growth quality of seed crystal.So in traditional monocrystalline growing process, generally will using vacuum brazing furnace
Diamond seed and substrate link together, to ensure the fixation of seed crystal.But because the vacuum of vacuum brazing furnace is relatively low, in height
In warm brazing process, remaining air easily makes diamond seed surface that graphitization, the growth of extreme influence single crystalline layer occur
Quality.And brazing process carries out it is impossible to carry out Real Time Observation completely in stove, only could obtain after soldering terminates to take out sample
Know welding result.
Further, since the surface of seed crystal and metal molybdenum cannot ensure to spend absolutely smooth so that thermal contact conductance face therebetween
Very little, and with the presence of gas blanket, lead between seed crystal and metal molybdenum, form very big thermal resistance so that seed crystal face is because heat concentrates
Temperature is too high, and growth quality is subject to extreme influence.So, for controlling diamond seed to be in stable and optimum work in growth
Under skill parameter, realize the fast-growth of large scale high-quality single-crystal diamond it is necessary to find can fixed diamond seed crystal, and strengthen
The method of heat conduction between seed crystal and substrate.
Content of the invention
The invention solves the problems that in existing MWCVD growing system, seed crystal is easily blown off-target position by air-flow, and seed
Brilliant heat conduction difficulty and metal molybdenum substrate between, causes seed crystal face Quality Down using vacuum brazing and is difficult the problem observed,
And a kind of Seed crystal substrate original position method of attachment of isoepitaxial growth single-crystal diamond is provided.
A kind of Seed crystal substrate original position method of attachment of isoepitaxial growth single-crystal diamond, specifically enters according to following steps

The invention has the beneficial effects as follows:1st, the present invention passes through the method connecting in situ in cabin, makes diamond sample and metal
Form strong bonded it is therefore prevented that seed crystal is blown deviation in evacuation with when being passed through gas because air-flow is excessive between molybdenum substrate
The problem of best placement is it is ensured that diamond seed all-the-time stable in growth course is in optimal temperature field and plasma is dense
Degree lower it is ensured that the stablizing of growth technique.
2nd, original position interconnection technique eliminates and for sample to put into the step that vacuum brazing furnace is attached, and greatly simplifies behaviour
Make, saved time and cost.Operate under the hydrogen plasma atmosphere in MWCVD instrument room body simultaneously, effectively prevent height
The graphited problem on the lower diamond seed surface of temperature, makes seed crystal face be grown with best in quality.
3rd, the original position connection procedure in MWCVD instrument can carry out monitor in real time by the watch window of instrument, and can
Carry out the suitable adjustment of technological parameter according to different situations, it is to avoid because work cannot be observed when being operated in vacuum brazing furnace
Skill process and lead to the problem of connection failure.
4th, because the fabulous ductility of native gold and heat conductivity are it is ensured that form good between diamond print and metal molybdenum substrate
