Problems solved by technology

The classic electron beam thermal evaporation method is still a relatively good coating technology for aluminum oxide films, but the aluminum oxide films deposited by this method are prone to oxygen loss and loose structure.
In order to obtain a dense and low-loss film layer, people often use reactive evaporation or ion-assisted technology to deposit thin films, but the additional auxiliary gas and ion source will bring new pollution, which will increase the absorption loss, and it will affect the coating machine. Vacuum systems make higher demands
[0004] So far, due to the limitation of deposition process and other factors, there is no good way to completely solve the unfavorable factors affecting the performance of thin film in thin film deposition

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparing method for alumina films with low ultraviolet optical consumption and mainly comprises the following steps: ultrasonic cleaning is carried out first for substrates in water, then being carefully scrubbed with petroleum ether; the substrates and materials are put on fixtures and into crucibles of a vacuum chamber and plated with the alumina films by adopting an electron beam thermal evaporating method; reaction gases are not pumped in the plating process with air as the residual gas, the working vacuum degree is 3.5 multiplied by 10<- 3>Pa to 7.5 multiplied by 10<- 3>Pa and the deposition temperature is 300 - 350 DEG C; finally the deposited films are post-processed by adopting the treatment technology of filming post annealing and the air in an annealing furnace is air. The invention can reduce the ultraviolet optical consumption of alumina films greatly and is characterized by high efficiency, simple process and lower cost.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to an optical thin film, in particular to a method for preparing an aluminum oxide thin film with low ultraviolet optical loss. technical background: [0002] Due to the development of the semiconductor industry and the laser material processing industry, the demand for high-quality high-energy optical components used in the ultraviolet band, especially the extreme ultraviolet-vacuum ultraviolet (DUV-VUV) band, has risen sharply. Most of these components are used after coating, so the optimization and improvement of the performance of ultraviolet band thin film components is facing new challenges. The shorter the wavelength, the fewer coating materials are available, especially high refractive index coating materials. In the DUV band or even in the band below 200nm, alumina material is widely used in multilayer dielectric reflective film as the most commonly used high refractive index material. The optical properties of aluminu...
