Abstract

The invention discloses a manufacturing method for a holographic dual-blazed grating. The two blaze angles of the holographic dual-blazed grating are respectively a blaze angle A and a blaze angle B. Required blazed gratings A and B are obtained by manufacturing two homogeneous gratings A and B on a substrate, taking the two homogeneous gratings as masks, and performing oblique ion beam etching. Because the positive ion beam etching time can be controlled when the homogeneous gratings are manufactured, the depths of the grooves of the homogenous gratings can be controlled precisely; in addition, the homogenous grating masks and the substrate are made of the same material, the etching rate of the homogeneous grating masks and the etching rate of the substrate are kept consistent all the time, so that the precise control of the blaze angles can be realized.

See also Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is a holographic double balzed grating method for making process flow diagram of the present invention.As shown in the figure, holographic double balzed grating method for making process flow diagram of the present invention comprises step:
S11: on substrate, be coated with photoresist.The technology of said coating photoresist can be spin-coating method, also can be vaporation method, and the photoresist layer thickness of coating is between the 200nm to 500nm.This photoresist layer can be positive glue, also can be negative glue, looks follow-up different processing mode and decides.In the present invention, be that example describes with positive glue.
S12: said photoresist layer is carried out photoetching, form the photoresist grating structure.Said photoetching can be laser interference lithography technology, also can be the mask exposure photoetching process.Select the laser interference carving technology in the present invention, be specially: the light that lasing light emitter sends forms two bundle or multi beam coherent lights after the light path beam splitting, and utilizes lens to converge to the light and dark conoscope image of photoresist surface formation.That a part of photoresist generation character in the conoscope image exposure area changes.After the developing liquid developing etching, on photoresist, form groove and protruding optical grating construction separately.
S13: blocking said B grating region, on the A grating region, is mask with said photoresist grating, and substrate is carried out the forward ion beam etching, and the photoresist grating structure is transferred on the substrate, forms the homogeneity grating of A grating region, and etching depth is determined by the A blazing angle.Said forward ion beam etching adopts Ar ion beam etching method or CHF 3The reactive ion beam etching (RIBE) method is carried out, and its concrete technological parameter is: during the Ar ion beam etching, ion energy is 380eV to 520eV, and ion beam current is 70mA to 140mA, and accelerating potential is 240V to 300V, and operating pressure is 2.0 * 10 -2Pa; CHF 3During reactive ion beam etching (RIBE), ion energy is 300eV to 470eV, and ion beam current is 70mA to 140mA, and accelerating potential is 200V to 300V, and operating pressure is 1.4 * 10 -2Pa.
S14: blocking said A grating region, on the B grating region, is mask with said photoresist grating, and substrate is carried out the forward ion beam etching, and the photoresist grating structure is transferred on the substrate, forms the homogeneity grating of B grating region, and etching depth is determined by the B blazing angle.The concrete technological parameter of this forward ion beam etching repeats no more with above-mentioned consistent here.
S15: clean substrate, remove the residue photoresist.After the forward ion beam etching is accomplished; The remaining photoresist of substrate surface meeting remainder; Adopt sulfuric acid+oxidizing agent solution to clean to the remaining photoresist of this part, make remaining photoresist, expose on-chip A grating region homogeneity grating and B grating region homogeneity grating by fully reaction removal.
S16: block the B grating region; Homogeneity grating with said A grating region is a mask, and substrate is carried out oblique Ar ion-beam scanning etching, utilizes the occlusion effect of homogeneity grating mask to ion beam; The diverse location of substrate material successively is etched, forms the blazed grating of A blazing angle;

The etching angle of Ar ion beam is drawn by following experimental formula according to required blazing angle:
θs≈α-3° (1)
In this experimental formula (1), θ s is the blazing angle of blazed grating, and α is the etching angle of Ar ion beam, is 15 ° blazed grating such as making blazing angle θ s, and then the etching angle α of Ar ion beam is 18 ° of degree.Generally, the blazing angle θ s scope of blazed grating is at 5 ° to 37 °, so the etching angle α scope of Ar ion beam is at 8 ° to 40 °.The concrete technological parameter of this oblique Ar ion-beam scanning etching is: ion energy 380eV to 520eV, ion beam current 70mA to 140mA, accelerating potential 240V to 300V, operating pressure 2.0 * 10 -2Pa.

For rectangular raster, see also Fig. 2, its computing formula is:
tgα = d Λ ( 1 - f ) - - - ( 2 )
In this formula (2), α is the etching angle of Ar ion beam, and d is the groove depth of homogeneity grating, and Λ is the cycle of homogeneity grating, and a is the width (a is an intermediate quantity, does not directly appear in the formula 2) of homogeneity grating, and f=a/ Λ is the wide ratio of accounting for of homogeneity grating.
For trapezoidal grating, see also Fig. 3, its computing formula is:
tgα = d Λ × ( 1 - f ) + d tgβ - - - ( 3 )
In this formula (3), α is the etching angle of Ar ion beam, and d is the groove depth of homogeneity grating; Λ is the cycle of homogeneity grating, and a is the width (a is an intermediate quantity, does not directly appear in the formula 3) of homogeneity grating; F=a/ Λ is the wide ratio of accounting for of homogeneity grating, and β is trapezoidal following base angle.
Above-mentioned two formula, the geometric relationship of institute's foundation is: the groove depth of homogeneity grating make the etching angle of oblique Ar ion beam equal a drift angle oblique fire from this homogeneity grating to the base angle relative with this drift angle required angle.
The wide ratio that accounts for of the homogeneity grating of said A grating region or the homogeneity grating of said B grating region is 0.25-0.6, and the cycle is 300nm to 3000nm.
For the time of oblique Ar ion-beam scanning etching, then so that the complete etching of homogeneity grating is advisable.In practical operation, because the restriction of process conditions, at the last reserve part homogeneity grating of oblique Ar ion beam etching, make it form the rake angle of blazed grating for fear of over etching.
