Description
本揭露係有關於一種菲涅耳透鏡的形成方法,且特別係有關於菲涅耳透鏡的製程改良及其所形成的菲涅耳透鏡。 The present disclosure relates to a method for forming a Fresnel lens, and particularly relates to the improvement of the Fresnel lens manufacturing process and the Fresnel lens formed.
一般而言,菲涅耳透鏡(Fresnel lens)可在節省材料的用量並減少其厚度的情況下藉由無數個同心紋路(菲涅耳帶)達到與傳統球面透鏡相同的光學效果,在日常生活中可應用於對成像品質不太苛求之處,例如汽車前燈、汽車尾燈、交通信號燈、聚光燈、燈塔、航空母艦、透鏡視投影機、放大鏡、太陽能熱水器等等。 Generally speaking, a Fresnel lens can achieve the same optical effect as a traditional spherical lens through numerous concentric patterns (Fresnel zones) while saving the amount of material and reducing its thickness. It can be used in places where the image quality is not too demanding, such as car headlights, car taillights, traffic lights, spotlights, lighthouses, aircraft carriers, lens-view projectors, magnifiers, solar water heaters, etc.
雖然現有技術所製造的菲涅耳透鏡可大致滿足它們原先預定的用途,但其仍未在各個方面皆徹底地符合需求。例如,製造過程中產生的尖頭造成光繞射效率大幅下降。因此,發展出可進一步改善菲涅耳透鏡的光繞射效率及形成方法仍為目前業界致力研究的課題之一。 Although the Fresnel lenses manufactured in the prior art can roughly meet their original intended use, they still do not fully meet the requirements in all aspects. For example, the sharp points produced during the manufacturing process cause the light diffraction efficiency to drop significantly. Therefore, the development of a further improvement in the optical diffraction efficiency and formation method of the Fresnel lens is still one of the current research topics in the industry.
本發明實施例提供一種菲涅耳透鏡的形成方法,包含提供一基板;圖案化基板,以形成複數個鋸齒狀的同心環,其中每 個同心環具有階梯結構,且至少一同心環之階梯結構的上下兩階梯之間具有一尖頭;氧化尖頭,以形成氧化層;以及移除氧化層。 The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for forming a Fresnel lens, including providing a substrate; patterning the substrate to form a plurality of zigzag-shaped concentric rings, each of which Each of the concentric rings has a stepped structure, and at least a point is provided between the upper and lower steps of the stepped structure of the concentric ring; the pointed end is oxidized to form an oxide layer; and the oxide layer is removed.

請先參照第1圖。第1圖是根據本發明的一些實施例,繪示出例示性菲涅耳透鏡的剖面圖。相較於球面透鏡,菲涅耳透鏡藉由將不影響折射的部分去除,而將留下的曲面部分移置透鏡底部,藉以節省材料用量並減少透鏡厚度。 Please refer to Figure 1 first. Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of an exemplary Fresnel lens according to some embodiments of the present invention. Compared with a spherical lens, the Fresnel lens removes the part that does not affect the refraction, and shifts the remaining curved part to the bottom of the lens, thereby saving material consumption and reducing the thickness of the lens.
如第1圖所示,菲涅耳透鏡將曲面劃分成一圈一圈的同心圓紋路,而其邊緣較為尖銳,且在剖面呈現鋸齒狀,中心則較為平滑的曲面。在此,將平滑的曲面定義為中心區域Rc,而隨著遠離中心區域Rc依序劃分為周圍區域R1、R2、R3與R4。在此,周圍區域R1、R2、R3與R4的寬度隨著遠離中心區域Rc越來越小。 As shown in Figure 1, the Fresnel lens divides the curved surface into a circle of concentric circles, and its edges are sharper, and the cross-section is jagged, and the center is a smoother curved surface. Here, the smooth curved surface is defined as the central area Rc, and as it moves away from the central area Rc, it is sequentially divided into surrounding areas R1, R2, R3, and R4. Here, the widths of the surrounding areas R1, R2, R3, and R4 become smaller and smaller as they move away from the central area Rc.
應注意的是,為簡化起見,在圖中僅例示四個周圍區域R1、R2、R3與R4,本發明所屬領域中具有通常知識者可依據實際需求增加或減少周圍區域。 It should be noted that, for the sake of simplicity, only four surrounding areas R1, R2, R3, and R4 are illustrated in the figure. Those with ordinary knowledge in the field of the present invention can increase or decrease the surrounding areas according to actual needs.
接著,如2A-2C圖所示,可藉由在基板100上形成階梯結構100A來模擬第1圖中的曲面,且階梯數目越多,效果越好。
Then, as shown in FIGS. 2A-2C, a stepped
在第2A圖中,基板100包含複數個鋸齒狀(剖面圖中)的同心環。相較於第1圖的菲涅耳透鏡之光折射效率100%且繞射效率接近於零,第2A圖的實施例藉由每個周圍區域中各自具有包含兩個階梯的階梯結構100A,可使繞射效率提高。
In Fig. 2A, the
第2B圖類似於第2A圖,其差異在於階梯結構100A包含四個階梯。相較於第1圖的菲涅耳透鏡之光折射效率100%且繞射效率接近於零,第2B圖的實施例藉由每個周圍區域中各自具有包含四個階梯的階梯結構100A,可達到相較圖2A更高的繞射效率。
Fig. 2B is similar to Fig. 2A, except that the
第2C圖亦類似於第2A圖,其差異在於階梯結構100A包含八個階梯。相較於第1圖的菲涅耳透鏡之光折射效率100%且繞射效率接近於零,第2C圖的實施例藉由每個周圍區域中各自具有包含八個階梯的階梯結構100A,可達到繞射效率約為95%。
FIG. 2C is also similar to FIG. 2A, except that the
易言之,隨著階梯結構100A包含的階梯數目越多,可越接近第1圖的光折射效率。
In other words, as the number of steps included in the stepped
接著,第3圖是根據本發明的一些實施例,繪示出相應於第2C圖(八個階梯)的菲涅耳透鏡的最頂表面的上視圖。在第3圖中,周圍區域R1、R2、R3與R4的最頂表面為同心環C圍繞著中心區域Rc的最頂表面。此外,在第3圖中,在周圍區域R1中的同心環C1具有寬度W1,在周圍區域R2中的同心環C2具有寬度W2,在周圍區域R3中的同心環C3具有寬度W3,在周圍區域R4中的同心環C4具有寬度W4。藉由寬度W1>W2>W3>W4,可得到由中心區域Rc向外越來越小的階梯寬度,得以得到接近第1圖的菲涅耳透鏡,進而增加光繞射效率。 Next, Figure 3 is a top view of the topmost surface of the Fresnel lens corresponding to Figure 2C (eight steps) according to some embodiments of the present invention. In Figure 3, the topmost surface of the surrounding regions R1, R2, R3, and R4 is a concentric ring C surrounding the topmost surface of the central region Rc. In addition, in Figure 3, the concentric ring C1 in the surrounding area R1 has a width W1, the concentric ring C2 in the surrounding area R2 has a width W2, and the concentric ring C3 in the surrounding area R3 has a width W3. The concentric ring C4 in R4 has a width W4. With the width W1>W2>W3>W4, the step width becomes smaller and smaller outward from the central region Rc, and the Fresnel lens close to the first figure can be obtained, thereby increasing the light diffraction efficiency.

此外,由於第4B、5B及6B圖中的中心區域Rc在圖案化基板的步驟中皆為圖案化遮罩200、300及400所覆蓋,因此中心區域Rc並不受圖案化影響,而可在圖案化基板的步驟前後維持一樣的高度。也就是說,中心區域Rc可維持為基板100的最頂表面,且大致上為平坦的。
In addition, since the central area Rc in Figures 4B, 5B, and 6B is covered by the patterning masks 200, 300, and 400 in the step of patterning the substrate, the central area Rc is not affected by the patterning, but can be Maintain the same height before and after the step of patterning the substrate. In other words, the central area Rc can be maintained as the topmost surface of the
藉由第4B、5B及6B圖的製程,可得到具有八個階梯的階梯結構的菲涅耳透鏡。然而,在圖案化基板100的步驟中,容易產生尖頭的問題,如第7A-7C圖所示。首先,請參見第7A圖,圖案化基板100的步驟包含:形成墊氧化層102;以及形成圖案化遮罩500(包含200、300或400)。
Through the process shown in Figures 4B, 5B, and 6B, a Fresnel lens with a stepped structure with eight steps can be obtained. However, in the step of patterning the
在一些實施例中,墊氧化層102可作為基板100與圖案化遮罩500(例如光阻)之間的緩衝層,因而增加附著力。如製程中有缺陷產生,也可以在後續製程中將缺陷與墊氧化層102一起移除。在一些實施例中,墊氧化層102可藉由熱氧化製程來形成。
In some embodiments, the
接著,圖案化基板100的步驟更包含以蝕刻製程103蝕刻未形成圖案化遮罩500的基板100,以得到如第7B圖所示的結構。由於圖案化遮罩500的形成可能因為無法避免的對準偏移,或者墊氧化層102的側壁的垂直厚度較大而較難被蝕刻掉,因而在上下階梯的連接處產生尖頭(spike)100S。
Next, the step of patterning the
接著,移除圖案化遮罩500與墊氧化層102,如第7C圖所示。在此情況下,由於上下階梯之間的尖頭(spike)100S偏離了第1圖的階梯之預定形狀,而降低了光繞射效率。
Next, the patterned
在一些實施例中,尖頭100S的尖端可呈現平角或銳角,如第7C圖所示。
In some embodiments, the tip of the
第8圖進一步繪示出在八個階梯的階梯結構中尖頭100S的分布情形。
Figure 8 further illustrates the distribution of the
在第8圖中,在周圍區域R1的基板100具有階梯結構100A,其包含八個階梯,其分別由最底表面至最頂表面稱為第一階梯1001、第二階梯1002、第三階梯1003、第四階梯1004、第五階梯1005、第六階梯1006、第七階梯1007與第八個階梯1008。可看出在第一階梯1001與第二階梯1002之間具有一尖頭100S,且第二階梯1002與第三階梯1003之間亦有一尖頭100S...第六階梯1006與第七階梯1007之間也有一尖頭100S。
In Figure 8, the
在此實施例中,階梯結構100A具有六個尖頭,其具有不完全相同的高度,但其數量不以此為限。在一些實施例中,每個階梯高度都為H,以第八個階梯1008之上表面(或基板100之最頂表面)為基準,尖頭到第八個階梯1008之上表面的距離與階梯高度H之比例為0.5-4。也就是說,尖頭的最高處不低於第五階梯1005的上表面,其原因可能為較低的階梯(例如第一階梯1001、第二階梯1002等)已於先前製程(如第3B或4B圖)中已具有尖頭,在圖案化時更難以去除墊氧化層(未繪示)的側壁,因而累加高度。而尖頭的最高處也不會高於第七階梯1007與第八個階梯1008之中線,其原因可能為越接近最頂表面越容易在圖案化製程中一併去除。
In this embodiment, the stepped
接續第7A-7C圖,第9A-9C圖是根據本發明的一些實施例,繪示出形成菲涅耳透鏡的部分剖面圖。詳細而言,為解決尖頭的問題,使用熱氧化製程氧化尖頭100S,如第9A-9C圖所示。
第9A圖類似於第7C圖,基板100的階梯結構中的上下兩階梯之間具有尖頭100S。在一些實施例中,尖頭100S的寬度W為1500-3000A。
Continuing from FIGS. 7A-7C, FIGS. 9A-9C illustrate a partial cross-sectional view of forming a Fresnel lens according to some embodiments of the present invention. In detail, in order to solve the problem of the tip, a thermal oxidation process is used to oxidize the
接著,以熱氧化製程氧化尖頭100S及階梯結構100A的上表面及側表面,以形成氧化層104於基板100(或階梯結構100A)上,如第9B圖所示。熱氧化製程可包含一次或具有不同的熱預算(thermal budget)的多次氧化製程。在一些實施例中,在溫度介於約950-1150℃、一大氣壓的濕氧(含H2及O2)環境下,進行時間介於約45-75分鐘之熱氧化製程,可在節省能源的情況下完全氧化尖頭。
Next, the top surface and side surfaces of the
在一些實施例中,上階梯的側表面、下階梯的上表面及兩者交界處的直角藉由熱氧化製程與氧反應,而由於該熱氧化製程所使用的氣體將會等向性擴散至基板表面與基板反應,因此可將直角圓化成圓角。 In some embodiments, the side surface of the upper step, the upper surface of the lower step, and the right angle at the junction of the two react with oxygen through the thermal oxidation process, and the gas used in the thermal oxidation process will diffuse isotropically to The surface of the substrate reacts with the substrate, so right angles can be rounded into rounded corners.
在未執行熱氧化製程的對比實施例中,僅藉由蝕刻製程形成階梯結構,其最終結構將不會形成圓角。相較之下,本案藉由熱氧化製程去除了過程中所產生的尖頭,並且於結構上形成圓角。 In the comparative embodiment where the thermal oxidation process is not performed, the stepped structure is formed only by the etching process, and the final structure will not be rounded. In contrast, this case uses a thermal oxidation process to remove the sharp ends produced during the process, and rounded corners are formed on the structure.
在一些實施例中,氧化層104的厚度T與尖頭100S的寬度W之比例為1.5-2.5。若大於此範圍,即厚度T過厚,則損失過多的能量及材料,而提高成本。若小於此範圍,即厚度T過薄,則尖頭可能無法完全被氧化且不會於後續的上下階梯之間形成圓角。
In some embodiments, the ratio of the thickness T of the
接著,去除氧化層104,可在下階梯的上表面與上階梯的側表面的交界處形成圓角100C,如第9C圖所示。在一些實施例中,圓角100C的曲率半徑為0.3-0.6μm。應注意的是,在上述的熱
氧化製程下,在下階梯的側表面與上階梯的上表面的交界處仍大致上維持直角(或為接近直角的鈍角)而不會形成圓角。
Then, the
在一些實施例中,氧化層104的去除可包含對氧化層104及基板100(例如矽基板)具有高蝕刻選擇性的任何酸或氣體,例如二氧化矽蝕刻劑(buffered oxide etch,BOE),以移除氧化層104,而本發明不以此為限。
In some embodiments, the removal of the
第10圖是根據本發明的一些實施例,繪示出形成菲涅耳透鏡的部分剖面圖。具體來說,第10圖類似於第9C圖,其更繪示出周圍區域R1中圓角100C的分布情形。
Fig. 10 is a partial cross-sectional view of forming a Fresnel lens according to some embodiments of the present invention. Specifically, Fig. 10 is similar to Fig. 9C, which further depicts the distribution of
在一些實施例中,氧化並移除第8圖的菲涅耳透鏡中的尖頭100S後,可得到如第10圖所示的菲涅耳透鏡。由於氧化層104的形成,使得位於上階梯的側表面與下階梯的上表面的交界處的直角圓化成圓角。因此,在第10圖中,上下階梯之間皆具有圓角100C。也就是說,在具有八個階梯的階梯結構100A中,具有七個圓角。此外,由於形成的氧化層104具有大致上相同的厚度T,因此在第10圖中形成的七個圓角具有大致上相同的曲率半徑。
In some embodiments, after oxidizing and removing the
相較於鑄模、切割成型的菲涅耳透鏡,本案實施例藉由圖案化製程形成的階梯構造可製造出小尺寸(例如1.6×1.6mm)的菲涅耳透鏡,並可應用在微縮化的裝置中。 Compared with the Fresnel lens that is molded and cut, the step structure formed by the patterning process in the embodiment of the present case can produce a small size (for example, 1.6×1.6mm) Fresnel lens, which can be applied to miniaturized Fresnel lenses. In the installation.
綜上所述,本發明實施例提供之菲涅耳透鏡的形成方法,可解決製程中產生尖頭的問題,使得所製成的菲涅耳透鏡階梯結構更接近理論,而可提高光繞射效率。 In summary, the method for forming Fresnel lens provided by the embodiments of the present invention can solve the problem of sharp tips during the manufacturing process, so that the stepped structure of the Fresnel lens manufactured is closer to the theory, and the light diffraction can be improved. efficient.
