摘要:
To move an article (134) in and out of plasma (120) during plasma processing, the article (134) is rotated by a first drive (140) around a first axis (140X), and the first drive is itself rotated by a second drive (150). As a result, the article (134) enters the plasma (120) at different angles for different positions of the first axis (140X). The plasma cross section (114-0) at the level at which the plasma (120) contacts the article (134) is asymmetric so that those points on the article (134) that move at a greater linear velocity (due to being farther away from the first axis (140X) move longer distances through the plasma (120). As a result, the plasma processing time becomes more uniform for different points on the article surface. In some embodiments, two shuttles (710-1, 710-2) are provided for loading and unloading the plasma processing system. One of the shuttles (710-1) stands empty waiting to load them into the system, while the other shuttle (710-2) holds unprocessed articles (134) waiting to load them into the system. After the plasma processing terminates, the empty shuttle unloads processed articles (134) from the system, takes articles (134) away, and gets unloaded and reloaded with unprocessed articles (134). Meanwhile the other shuttle loads unprocessed articles (134) into the system and the plasma process begins. Since the plasma processing system does not wait for the first shuttle (710-1), the productivity of the system is increased.

The disclosure is directed to a plasma jet deposition method and apparatus for depositing a substance, such as synthetic diamond. A plasma beam (225) containing constituents of the substance to be deposited is produced. A substrate (150) is provided, and has a surface in the path of the beam, the area of said surface being substantially larger than the cross-sectional area of the beam impinging on the surface. Repetitive motion is introduced between the substrate and the beam as the substrate is deposited on the surface. The substrate in a plasma jet deposition system can be provided with structural attributes, such as apertures (170) and/or grooves (168), that facilitate efficient deposition. Groups of substrates (610,620,630 and 640) can be arranged with surfaces generally along the envelope of plasma beam to facilitate efficient deposition.

A plasma jet CVD system (100) includes gas injectors (122a-122h) and a stand-off ring (126). The gas injectors have outlet holes (236a-h) preferably flared to approach the expansion angle of the injected jet, thereby keeping the holes substantially free from entrained atomic hydrogen. The injectors are arranged counter-rotational to the swirl of the primary jet, providing a more uniform mixture of hydrocarbons and atomic hydrogen. The stand-off ring provides vents (152a-152d) for cooler gases to enter the nozzle (128), thereby decreasing the overall temperature of the injectors and decreasing the temperature gradient experienced by the injectors, thereby preventing injector cracking. In addition the vents reduce shear, thereby increasing jet velocity and increasing the deposition rate for the coating. In addition, a new method of injector design permits optimal mixing characteristics to be obtained across various recipes whereby the ratio of the mass flux of the primary flow of the jet to the mass flux of the injected flow from the downstream injectors is kept constant.

A nozzle-injector was designed and fabricated for plasma deposition of thin-film coatings using a wall-stabilized arc torch as the plasma generator. The divergent design of the nozzle-injector controls the injection, ionization, and reaction of the reagents, and these functions, in turn, determine the coating deposition rate, coating area, coating composition, and coating quality.

A process and apparatus (10) for the plasma deposition of a carbon-rich coating onto a substrate (75) is provided. This method includes the steps of providing a substrate (75) in a vacuum chamber, and generating a carbon-rich plasma (160) in the vacuum chamber by injecting a plasma gas into a hollow cathode slot system (40) containing a cathode made of two electrode plates arranged parallel to each other, providing a sufficient voltage to create and maintain a carbon-rich plasma (160) in the hollow cathode slot system (40), and maintaining a vacuum in the vacuum chamber sufficient for maintaining the plasma (160). The plasma is deposited on the substrate to form a carbon-rich coating.

The invention is to a method for producing a silicon substrate by masking a substrate (31) to define a deposition area. The silicon, in the form of a gas, is deposited (33) with the silicon onto the deposition area. Deposition is made by a plasma deposition with the substrate under a non-oxygen bearing gas or liquid (32) to prevent the formation of silica.
