RESUMO
Recently, the technology of the industry has been increasing for diffractive optical elements, holograms, optical components, and next-generation display components. The advanced high value-added industry is designing fine patterns on ultra-precision optical components and applying them to various industries. In the case of the ultra-fine pattern, a contact-type machining technique is required because it requires a precise pattern in nano-scale units. In this paper, the fabrication technology of ultra-precision diamond which is essential in the ultra-precision processing technology was suggested. The material used in the experiment was a single-crystal diamond tool (SCD), and the equipment for machining the SCD used a focused ion beam (FEI COMPANY, system Nova 600) equipment. The back fire method was applied without metal coating in order to carry out the process study and the focused beam of 30 keV Ga+ ions were carried out processing for various fabrication of diamond cutting tools. As a result of applying the backfire method through the process experiment, the cutting edge width of the ultra-precision diamond tool was verified 275 nm.
