Technical field
The invention belongs to field of optical device technology, be specifically related to the lenticular manufacture method of a kind of silicon dioxide.
Background technology
Lens are a kind of passive optical components, be used in optical system assemble, diverging light radiation.Not only manufacture method is complicated to utilize the produced lens of traditional handicraft, and produced lens sizes is large, weight large, can not meet the needs of current development in science and technology.At present, people can produce the very little lens of diameter, only have and just can observe with equipment such as microscope, scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscopes, Here it is lenticule.Lenticule and microlens array little, lightweight with its size, be convenient to the advantages such as integrated, array, gather around in fields such as optical communication, light sensing, optical oomputing and have broad application prospects.
Along with the development of semi-conductor industry, having there is the lenticule of series of novel and the manufacture craft of microlens array in the raising of photoetching and Micrometer-Nanometer Processing Technology, mainly introduces the lenticule of several main flow and the method for making of microlens array successively below.
(1) photoresist hot reflux technology
Whole technological process can be divided into three steps: one, expose under the covering of mask the photoresist on substrate, exposing patterns is rounded, rectangle or regular hexagon; Two, development is carried out and erase residual material to the photoresist after exposure; Three, be positioned on heating platform, hot melt molding.There are some shortcomings in the lenticule of this fabrication techniques and microlens array: one, because photoresist exists infiltration phenomenon for baseplate material, when photoresist is in molten condition and the adhesion of substrate be certain, so exist between lenticule spherical profile and substrate after melting photoresist final molding and infiltrate angle, make the curvature that lenticular marginal existence is certain, and center section sink; Two, generally the fill factor, curve factor of microlens array can not more than 80%, and photoresist easily adhesion after being melted down, and adjacent melting photoresist is once after contact, can not form the face shape of lens.Because fill factor, curve factor is not high, incident light can not be made full use of, and can ground unrest be caused; Three, due to the mechanical property of photoresist itself and chemical property poor, optical property is not high yet, is not suitable as final lenticule or the material of other microstructures.
