Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for post-treatment of the surface contour of at least one optical lens made of glass or glass-like material, in particular microlens, with a convex lens surface which is delimited by a circumferential line which is adjoined by a flat surface section surrounding the circumferential line ,
- WO 01/38240 A1 discloses a method for producing micromechanical but in particular micro-optical components in the form of microlenses made of glass-like material, each of which has an individual element size that extends into the sub-micrometer range.
- a negative mold preferably pre-structured from semiconductor material, with a plurality of depressions is used, through which a layer of glass material is applied and preferably connected to the negative mold by anodic bonding.
- the composite of the negative mold and the layer of glass material is heated above the softening temperature of the glass material, the glass material begins to flow locally into the depressions.
- the focal length of the individual can be determined by the sinking depth over which the glass material penetrates locally into the individual depressions by means of a so-called flow process forming microlenses can be determined, which can be set precisely by temperature, pressure and annealing time during the tempering step.
- Line 1 corresponds to the lens cross-section that is obtained by the glass flow process described above
- the line cross-section 1 with a sphere drawn as a line 3 it is clear that the edge region of the line 1 deviates from the sphere 3, particularly in the edge region of the microlens, to smaller radii of curvature, namely, as one says ellipti cal division.
- This elliptical overlap of the microlens in the edge area is the result of a process-inherent property that is characteristic of glass flow processes and therefore occurs unavoidably. Similar elliptical divisions can also be observed with microlenses which have been produced from thermoplastic lens materials by means of the so-called contactless hot stamping process. Particularly in cases in which microlenses produced in this way are used for optical images, in which the entire lens surface is used for imaging, the elliptical overlaps lead to disadvantageous imaging errors which must be avoided.
- the object is to treat optical lenses, in particular microlenses, whose lens cross-sectional shape has elliptical overlaps, in particular in the edge region, due to the manufacturing process, in such a way that those with the elliptical ones Overdeliveries associated with sustainable optical imaging properties can be completely avoided.
- the measures to be taken to avoid the elliptical overlap should not require any technically complex and expensive process steps and, moreover, can also be applied retrospectively to microlenses which have already been produced.
- claim 11 is a device according to the invention with which the above elliptical overlaps in the edge region of microlens arrangements are to be eliminated.
- Features which advantageously further develop the inventive concept are furthermore the subject matter of the subclaims and the description with reference to the exemplary embodiments.
- the lenses having an elliptically divided lens cross-sectional shape are subjected to an aftertreatment step designed according to the invention , in which at least the elliptical overlap in the edge region of each individual microlens is eliminated in a controlled manner.
- the method according to the invention for the aftertreatment of the surface contour of at least one optical lens made of glass or glass-like material, in particular microlens, with a convex lens surface which is delimited by a circumferential line which is adjoined by a flat surface section surrounding the circumferential line, has at least the following two process steps on:
- a means which is at least laterally delimiting the convex lens surface is placed on the flat surface section surrounding the lens and is true to the circumference of the line.
- the template-like means which is preferably made of a material whose thermal Expansion properties are identical or very similar to the thermal expansion properties of the lens material to be treated, is formed in a simplest embodiment as a mere perforated template, the hole-shaped recess of which is exactly adapted to the shape and size of the circumferential line. In this way, the convex lens surface is laterally or laterally delimited by the means, but does not otherwise come into contact with the means.
- the optical lens is subsequently heated to a temperature of at least the transformation temperature of the glass or glass-like material, as a result of which the lens material softens and is displaced locally as a result of the surface tension prevailing along the lens surface, so that there is a flow of material within the lens body. It is important to create a pressure balance between the top and bottom of the lens.
- the surface tensions acting along the convex lens surface tend to reduce the lens surface, lens material being displaced from the area of the convex-side lens elevation into the remaining area of the lens body or flowing back.
- This annealing process which is also referred to as the reflow process, reduces or completely avoids the elliptical overlaps described above.
- certain process parameters that determine the annealing process such as pressure, temperature and annealing time, in particular the edge regions of the microlens to be treated can adopt spherical, parabolic or even hyperbolic edge contour geometries, as can be seen in detail from the further explanations.
- the tempering process is terminated and, after the optical lens has cooled appropriately below the transformation temperature, it is appropriately separated from the template-like means.
- FIG. 1a - d schematic process steps for performing the thermal reflow process
- Fig. 2 diagram schematic process steps for performing the thermal reflow process
- FIG. 1a shows a stylized cross-sectional view through a microlens array which provides 7 microlenses 1 arranged next to one another in a row and which has preferably been produced by means of a glass flow process.
- the individual microlenses 1 rise above the plane of the individual microlenses 1 connected to each other glass lens substrate 2, which is preferably made drilling silicate glass, for example. Pyrex ® glass is.
- Each of the individual microlenses 1 is delimited by a circumferential line U, each of which is adjoined by a planar piece 3, which spatially separates two immediately adjacent microlenses 1.
- the edge regions of the individual microlenses 1 are elliptically divided due to their manufacturing process, ie the surface contour of each individual microlens deviates in its edge region from an ideal sphere to smaller lens radii.
- Such a contour quality, in particular in the edge region of each individual lens can be seen in detail with reference to the diagram in FIG. 2, which according to contour line 1 has an elliptical overlap in the lens edge region compared to a spherical lens contour (see line 3 in this regard).
- the reason for such an elliptical overlap is due to the inflow behavior of the flowable lens material into the template-like depressions of a structured mask, which occurs during lens production as part of a glass flow process.
- a means designed as a counter tool 4 is placed on the microlens array according to the illustration in FIG. 1b, which is complementary in shape to the microlens array and the individual optical microlenses 1 along them Encloses circumferential lines U.
- the counter tool 4 is designed in the form of a perforated screen designed as a template, with hole recesses, the hole contour of which is adapted to the shape and size of the circumferential lines of the individual microlenses.
- the counter tool 4 shown in FIG. 1b has cutouts 5 machined in a complementary manner to the convex lens shape of the microlenses 1, in whose spatial regions 6 the convex lens surfaces of the microlenses 1 each extend.
- the otherwise web-shaped intermediate sections 6 of the counter-tool 4 are contour-adapted to the surface sections 3 located between the microlenses 1 and cover them in a contour-conforming manner when they are brought into contact with the glass substrate 2.
- the counter tool 4 In order to produce the closest possible contact between the counter tool 4 and the lens substrate 2, the counter tool 4 is pressed onto the surface regions 3 of the lens substrate 2 or is firmly attached to it by means of anodic bonding.
- openings 7 are provided within the counter tool 4 in order to create a pressure compensation between the inside and the outside of the counter tool 4. It is also possible, as is to be explained further below, that pressure conditions which can be specifically set via the openings 7 can act directly on the convex lens surfaces of the individual microlenses.
- the composite of lens substrate 2 and counter tool 4 is subjected to a temperature treatment far above the transition temperature or transformation temperature of the glass, as a result of which the prevailing surface tension causes a change in the profile shape of each individual microlens in such a way that the elliptical division in the edge region of each individual microlens literally leveled or converted into a counter-curved profile shape.
- the counter tool 4 prevents lateral leakage of the individual microlenses, so that the lateral geometry dimensions of each individual microlens are retained during the temperature treatment.
- the horizontal arrangement of the microlens array during the heat treatment and the surface-reducing effect of the surface tension determining the lens surface form a material displacement from each individual lens body in the direction of the surface substrate located underneath.
- This material flow also referred to as the reflow process, fundamentally leads to an overall change in the surface contour of each individual microlens, but in particular contributes to flattening the profile in the edge region of each individual microlens.
- the reflow process can produce desired flattened edges, which can be seen in detail from the diagram shown in FIG. 2.
- spherical edge contours according to line 3 parabolic or even hyperbolic edge contours according to lines 2 and 4 can be generated in a targeted manner.
- the reflow process described above takes place under normal pressure conditions, so that the material flow inducing force is due exclusively to the surface tension acting in each individual microlens.
- An increase in pressure, which acts uniformly on each individual lens surface causes a force component that supports the reflow process, which leads to an increased flattening of the lens profile.
- the pressure acting on the lens surface is reduced, a force component which counteracts the reflow process is generated, by means of which, for example, the convex lens surface is stabilized during the tempering process.
- temperature, annealing time and the pressure acting on the lens surfaces are decisive process parameters that can be set individually depending on the desired tempering success.
- the counter tool 4 comes into contact with the microlens array exclusively along the circumferential lines and via the surface regions 3 arranged between the microlenses.
- the edge areas of the counter tool which come into contact with the circumferential lines of each individual microlens, must not come into contact with the edge of each individual microlens, since in this case additional edge angle effects could occur which could have a lasting effect on the lens surface contour in the edge area.
- the reason for the occurrence of such an intermediate layer is due to a local change in the composition of the glass, which is brought into contact with the silicon surface by means of anodic bonding.
- sodium ions migrate locally from the glass, which seem to determine the viscosity of the glass.
- the counter tool 4 is removed from the surface of the microlens array.
- the counter tool which is preferably made of silicon, can be removed from the microlens array, for example, using known etching techniques. Any unevenness that may occur on the back of the lens substrate, which has arisen as a result of the reflow process during the temperature treatment, can be compensated for using suitable mechanical grinding or polishing techniques.
