Definitions
- One embodiment of the present invention relates to a Fabry-Perot interference filter.
- a Fabry-Perot interferometer described in Patent Document 1 includes a substrate, a first mirror structure having a lower fixed mirror disposed on the substrate, and an upper movable mirror facing the lower fixed mirror through a space. And a sacrificial layer that defines a space between the first mirror structure and the second mirror structure. Further, the Fabry-Perot interferometer described in Patent Document 1 includes a control electrode formed on the lower fixed mirror, an outer electrode formed on the upper movable mirror so as to face the control electrode, and the control electrode and the electric electrode. Electrically connected electrical contacts.
- the inner surface formed on the sacrificial layer so as to surround the electrical contact electrically connected to the control electrode has a planar shape, and is opposite to the first mirror structure in the sacrificial layer. It is orthogonal to the surface.
- the upper movable mirror moves to the lower fixed mirror side by the electrostatic force while the second mirror structure is supported by the sacrificial layer. For this reason, when the upper movable mirror moves to the lower fixed mirror, a force acts on the region supported by the sacrificial layer in the second mirror structure toward the upper movable mirror. Then, due to the reaction of the force, a stress acts on a region that supports the upper movable mirror in the sacrificial layer.
- the inner surface of the sacrificial layer has a planar shape and is orthogonal to the surface of the sacrificial layer opposite to the first mirror structure. For this reason, stress tends to concentrate on the corners on the second mirror structure side on the inner surface of the sacrificial layer. As a result, damage such as cracks may occur at the corners.

It is curved to be located. For this reason, when the second mirror part moves to the first mirror part side, a force is applied to the region supported by the intermediate layer in the second layer so as to go to the second mirror part side. Even in this case, the stress can be dispersed at the corners on the second layer side of the first inner surface of the intermediate layer. Therefore, the occurrence of damage such as cracks at the corners can be suppressed. As described above, according to the Fabry-Perot interference filter, high reliability can be obtained.

- the second layer is fixed to the first inner surface of the intermediate layer. For this reason, when the second mirror unit moves to the first mirror unit side, the second layer is directed to the second mirror unit side with respect to the region covering the surface of the intermediate layer opposite to the first layer. Even if a force acts on the second layer, it is possible to prevent the second layer from being peeled off from the intermediate layer by a shearing force generated between the intermediate layer and the second layer.

In this case, the edge of the second inner side surface on the substrate side of the intermediate layer is positioned on the second terminal side in the direction parallel to the first surface than the edge of the intermediate layer opposite to the substrate. Is curved.
- the second inner side surface has an edge on the substrate side of the intermediate layer in a direction parallel to the first surface rather than an edge on the side opposite to the substrate of the intermediate layer.
- the angle of the second inner surface with respect to the first surface becomes smaller in the portion close to the substrate in the second inner surface of the intermediate layer, as it approaches the substrate in the direction perpendicular to the first surface. Thereby, it can suppress that a 2nd layer peels from the part close

- the second layer may cover the second inner surface.
- the second layer is fixed to the second inner surface of the intermediate layer. For this reason, when the second mirror unit moves to the first mirror unit side, the second layer is directed to the second mirror unit side with respect to the region covering the surface of the intermediate layer opposite to the first layer. Even if a force acts on the second layer, it is possible to prevent the second layer from being peeled off from the intermediate layer by a shearing force generated between the intermediate layer and the second layer.
- the Fabry-Perot interference filter according to one aspect of the present invention may further include a third layer disposed on a second surface of the substrate facing the first surface.

- the outer edge of the antireflection layer 21 and the outer edge of the first laminate 22 do not have to coincide with each other.
- the outer side surface 22a of the 1st laminated body 22 may be comprised by the intermittent surface instead of the continuous surface.
- the side surface 21 a of the antireflection layer 21 may be located on the inner side (light transmission region 1 a side) than the outer surface 22 a of the first stacked body 22.
- the polysilicon layer of the second stacked body 24 is formed in the groove formed by the side surface 21 a of the antireflection layer 21, the surface 22 c of the first stacked body 22 on the substrate 11 side, and the first surface 11 a of the substrate 11. Part of 27a has entered. Thereby, it can suppress that the 2nd laminated body 24 peels.
- the outer edge of the polysilicon layer 25 c of the first stacked body 22 is at least the outer surface of the layer other than the polysilicon layer 25 c among the layers constituting the first stacked body 22. Some may be covered.
- the outer edges of the layers constituting the first stacked body 22 other than the polysilicon layer 25c may have an intermittent shape (for example, a step shape).
- the outer edge of the polysilicon layer 25b and the outer edge of the silicon nitride layer 26b may not coincide with each other.
- the outer surface of the polysilicon layer 25b may be located on the outer side (opposite to the light transmission region 1a) than the outer surface of the silicon nitride layer 26b.
- the outer surface of the layers other than the polysilicon layer 25 c and the side surface 21 a of the antireflection layer 21 among the layers constituting the first stacked body 22 have a planar shape. As it approaches the substrate 11 in the direction perpendicular to the surface 11a, the substrate 11 may be inclined so as to move away from the light transmission region 1a in a direction parallel to the first surface 11a.
- the outer surface of the layer other than the polysilicon layer 25 c and the side surface 21 a of the antireflection layer 21 among the layers constituting the first stacked body 22 have a planar shape. It may be substantially orthogonal to the surface 11a.
