The present invention provides a kind of passivating method suitable for laser discharge cavity, the passivating method the following steps are included:
The temperature of discharge cavity is risen to the first temperature by step S1, and maintains first temperature to toast to discharge cavity. High-temperature baking material outgassing process is introduced in this step, discharge cavity material can be made to deflate at high temperature, the excessively high meeting of temperature The sealing performance of guiding discharge chamber is destroyed, the too low effect that can reduce material outgassing of temperature, some realities according to the present invention Example is applied, the range of the first suitable temperature is 90-110 DEG C, and in some preferred embodiments, the first temperature of setting is 100 DEG C, Discharge cavity can be maintained to be in first temperature range by heating equipment any suitable in this field or constant temperature system, Purpose is toasted to realize.Other embodiments according to the present invention, the step specifically further comprise following steps: step S11, right Discharge cavity heats up, and the first foreign gas of remaining when discharge cavity assembling is discharged is vacuumized to the discharge cavity;Step Rapid S12 maintains first temperature 20-24h, so that forming the discharge cavity when the temperature of discharge cavity rises to the first temperature Material releases the second foreign gas, subsequently into step S2.In step s 11, it can be used any suitable in this field Equipment realizes the condition of high vacuum degree in discharge cavity to vacuumize to discharge cavity, such as by the lasting exhaust of vacuum pump, at this In some embodiments of invention, when the vacuum degree of discharge cavity reaches 0.1-0.5Pa, stop vacuumizing, that is, can guarantee discharge cavity The first foreign gas of remaining is discharged when assembling, and in some preferred embodiments, the vacuum degree set is 0.1Pa.In step In S12, any suitable gas analysis instrument in this field can be used, containing for each ingredient in the second foreign gas is monitored online Amount, such as mass spectrograph, by being sampled analysis to the gas in discharge cavity to obtain containing for each ingredient in the second foreign gas Amount, so that whether the second foreign gas in rational judgment electric discharge cavity material is released effectively out.In some preferred implementations In example, step S12 be continue for for 24 hours, be during which that 4h has carried out 6 samplings, the 6 groups of impurity gas obtained according to sampling with the sampling period Whether the foreign gas in body content data rational judgment electric discharge cavity material is released effectively out.
Step S2 vacuumizes discharge cavity so that the foreign gas in the discharge cavity is discharged.In this step, Primarily to the second foreign gas that the material that step S12 high temperature toasts composition discharge cavity releases is discharged.According to this Some embodiments of invention vacuumize discharge cavity by the lasting exhaust realization of vacuum pump, when the vacuum degree of discharge cavity When reaching 0.1-0.5Pa, stop vacuumizing, in some preferred embodiments, the vacuum degree set can guarantee and put as 0.1Pa The foreign gas of electric cavity material high temperature release is effectively discharged, and CO is thus greatly reduced2、H2O, Air etc. remains in discharge cavity Interior impurity bad influence lasting caused by laser performance.It uses simultaneously and introduces mass spectrograph to foreign gas progress On-line monitoring, being capable of foreign gas release conditions in quantitative assessment material.
Step S3 is filled with passivation gas into discharge cavity to be tentatively passivated to discharge cavity.The step is in order to putting A small amount of F is filled in electric chamber2, 90-110 DEG C of high-temperature baking is still used, accelerates F under hot environment2With the anti-of cavity material of discharging It answers, one layer of fine and close fluoride film is formed in the inner wall of discharge cavity, to realize preliminary passivation.In some embodiments of the present invention In, the passivation gas selected is F2/ He gaseous mixture, specific operating procedure are as follows: step S31 is filled with passivation into discharge cavity Gas is tentatively passivated, and stops being filled with passivation gas when the pressure in discharge cavity reaches the first setting value, wherein the passivation The F that content is X is contained in gas2;Step S32, under high temperature environment, F2It reacts with electric discharge cavity material and is persistently disappeared It consumes, monitors F using mass spectrograph2Remaining content, can the preliminary passivating process of quantitative assessment, if F2Remaining content be lower than When 50%X, S33 is entered step, otherwise continues to monitor F2Remaining content;Step S33, works as F2Remaining content be lower than 50%X When, discharge cavity is vacuumized, the remaining passivation gas being discharged in discharge cavity re-fills in order to be back in step S31 Passivation gas continues preliminary passivating process, and in step S33, the vacuum degree that still discharge cavity is worked as in selection reaches 0.1-0.5Pa When, stop vacuum pumping, preferably vacuum degree is 0.1Pa;Step S34 counts the total time that the preliminary passivating process carries out, when When total time reaches 20-24h, more sufficiently finer and close fluoride film is preferably formed with the cavity wall that ensures to discharge for 24 hours, it can be complete The preliminary passivating process of pairs of discharge cavity.Finally the discharge cavity is vacuumized again, the remaining passivation in discharge cavity is discharged Gas carries out electric discharge passivation in order to enter step in S4, in the step, the vacuum degree that still discharge cavity is worked as in selection reaches 0.1- When 0.5Pa, stop vacuum pumping, preferably vacuum degree is 0.1Pa.
