Key composition develops working and room temperature, compact-sized and brilliant performance modulator has the application development of promotion Terahertz Technology
Important meaning.People have carried out extensive research to THz modulation device in recent years, but still have many technical bottlenecks to need to solve.Example
If Quantum Well modulator need to work at low temperature, and liquid crystal modulator is temperature sensitive, loss is larger, modulating speed is slower
(KHz), and frequency-tuning range is smaller (liquid crystal material is lower in the birefringence of THz wave band).
Meta Materials (Metamaterials, MMs) are also known as " superstructure ", " anisotropic media " or " special electromagnetic medium ", are
Pass through artificial or the composite material structure system with period or quasi-periodic structure and special electromagnetic property of synthesis.MMs
New electromagnetic response medium is formed using artificial resonance cell element (unit cell, meta-molecular), and there is natural material institute
The abnormal physical characteristic not having, such as negative magnetoconductivity, negative electricity conductance.The property and function of Meta Materials depend primarily on sub-wavelength
The geometry and its spatial distribution of structural unit can design different and natural medium physical property according to actual needs
Function material component.Meta Materials modulation device is usually made of metal material, is lost mainly from the ohmic loss for constituting material
With the radiation loss of resonating member；In addition the wavelength of THz wave is longer, the structural unit of sub-wavelength dimensions be difficult to THz wave into
Row effectively constraint.Therefore, quality factor (Q-factor) value of THz band modulators is not generally high (< 5), largely

Characteristic and resolution capability etc..To meet in numerous practical application areas such as waveform control, biological sample analysis and wireless telecommunications
Demand, there is an urgent need to develop the tunable THz modulation device that modulation depth is big, modulating speed is fast and quality factor is high.
Meta Materials mostly use greatly metal material to be designed and process preparation at present, although excellent with forming easy to process
Gesture, but there are high temperature ablation, high-frequency loss is big and the problems such as power carrying is small.Metal MMs relies primarily on the conduction on surface
Electric current realizes the regulation to wave frequency selection characteristic, but according to Maxwell equation displacement current under the action of incidence wave
Also there is similar functions effect.If incident wavelength matches with structure size, the super material of all dielectric of high dielectric constant (Si, Ge)
Material (all-dielectric metamaterials, ADMs) can excite resonance very strong under the action of being powered on magnetic wave outside
Displacement current forms so-called Mie resonance.Mie similar to the LC resonance and dipole resonance in metal Meta Materials, in ADMs
Resonance also can produce equivalent electric dipole and magnetic dipole, and can to avoid the dispersion absorption of metal and energy loss,
Facilitate the raising of quality factor.All dielectric material is also easier to process thicker micro-structure, in the propagation direction phase controlling
It is higher than metal structure, the phase-modulation of 2 π easy to accomplish and the control of efficient wavefront in terms of ability.In short, super compared to metal
Material structure, the displacement current in ADMs are lost very little, help to obtain the resonance line of narrowband, high-quality-factor, can be with
Support a variety of resonance modes such as electric dipole, magnetic dipole and multipole sub-resonance, for THz tunable devices development provide it is good
Good design platform and flexile adjusting method.
Chinese patent ZL201310547214.6 discloses a kind of Terahertz modulator based on ferroelectric thin film and its production

The two of technical solution of the present invention are the provision of a kind of preparation side of THz modulator based on strontium titanates micro-structure
Method, comprising the following steps:
(1) polymer flexibility substrate layer is made:
Using common Si as sacrificial layer, by the solution spraying containing plastic flexible substrate on sacrificial layer, after baking and curing,
Obtain polymer flexibility substrate layer；
(2) doped semiconductor epitaxial layer is made:
Doped semiconductor epitaxial layer is formed on polymer flexibility substrate layer by epitaxial growth method；
(3) SiO is made2Insulation-strontium titanates micro-structure composite layer:
(3-1) atomic layer deposition SiO on doped semiconductor epitaxial layer2, rinse well, SiO be made2Insulating layer；
(3-2) is in SiO2Strontium titanate film is deposited on insulating layer, then heating anneal completes crystallisation procedure, and eliminates and lack
It falls into；
(3-3) removes the strontium titanates of redundance, forms strontium titanates microstructured layers；
(4) removing sacrificial layer is to get to the strontium titanates micro-structure THz modulator on polymer flexibility substrate layer.
Further, in step (1), the process conditions of drying are as follows: the dry 20-40min in 150-200 DEG C, it is cured

Displacement current, generate apparent resonance line.Wherein, the photoelectric characteristic of strontium titanates micro-structure can be changed by temperature and is subject to
It adjusts.When temperature is lower, such as 70K, strontium titanates dielectric constant is higher, and resonance response is stronger；As the temperature rises, such as 300K,
Strontium titanates dielectric constant reduces, and resonance response reduces, and the resonant frequency of spectral line and amplitude are different with the change of temperature.
