In this paper, a novel method to construct the 2n-dimensional kernel matrix is proposed, that is based on primitive BCH codes that make use of the interception, the direct sum and adding a row and a column. For ensuring polarization of the kernel matrix, a solution is also put forward when the partial distances of the constructed kernel matrix exceed their upper bound. And the lower bound of exponent of the 2n-dimensional kernel matrix is obtained. The lower bound of exponent of our constructed kernel matrix is tighter than Gilbert-Varshamov (G-V) type, and the scaling exponent is better in the case of 16-dimensional. %K Polar Code %K Kernel Matrix %K Matrix Interception %K Partial Distance %K Exponent %K Scaling Exponent %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=114763
