Active deformation compensation clamping device for ultra-precision cutting of soft and brittle ultrathin crystals
Technical Field
The invention relates to an active deformation compensation clamping device for ultra-precision cutting of a soft and brittle ultrathin crystal, and belongs to the field of ultra-precision machining of scintillation crystals.
Background
The cesium iodide crystal CsI belongs to an inorganic scintillation crystal typical of the field. The inorganic scintillation crystal can emit ultraviolet rays or visible light after absorbing the energy of X-rays, gamma-rays or other high-energy particles, wherein the CsI crystal has more outstanding performance, the emission spectrum of the CsI crystal can be matched with a silicon photodiode, the light yield is high, the irradiation length is shorter than that of a NaI (Tl) crystal, the mechanical property is good, the CsI crystal has high light yield and relatively lower production cost, and the inorganic scintillation crystal becomes an excellent and practical scintillation crystal material, is particularly suitable for detecting medium and low energy particles, and has wide application in the aspect of X-ray detection.
In the ultraprecise cutting processing of the cesium iodide crystal CsI, the crystal is clamped and positioned in a vacuum adsorption mode generally. As the cesium iodide crystal CsI used in the X-ray detection aspect is a soft and fragile ultrathin sheet-type element, the typical sizes are as follows: the thickness uniformity after processing is influenced by the fact that the cesium iodide crystal is small in elastic modulus and can be deformed remarkably under the action of vacuum adsorption pressure (the thickness uniformity is generally required to be better than 1-3 mu m). Related studies have shown that vacuum adsorption deformation is one of the most important reasons for the difficulty in controlling the thickness consistency of cesium iodide crystals after processing.
The ultra-precision cutting process realizes the control of thickness consistency by iterative processing of the front surface and the back surface of the cesium iodide crystal, and the whole process has strict requirements on the plane precision of the reference surface of the vacuum chuck and the deformation quantity introduced by vacuum adsorption.
