Problems solved by technology

However, the above two technologies have great limitations in practical application. Gray-scale photomask technology requires expensive, high-resolution gray-scale photomasks, which are complex to process and costly; and photolithography Positive photoresist is usually used in glue reflow technology, and its spin coating thickness is often small (single spin coating thickness <50 μm), which limits the height of the microstructure that can be obtained, and the positive photoresist material itself is often easy to Affected by acid, alkali or organic reagents, the application range is limited

Embodiment 1

[0016] The substantive features and remarkable progress of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings using SU-8 photoresist.

[0017] 1. Take the cleaned silicon wafer and bake it at 150°C for 20 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, spin-coat the first layer of SU-8 photoresist and place it on a hot plate for 1 minute at 65°C. Bake for 15 minutes, then cool to room temperature, as figure 1 shown.

[0018] 2. Expose the coated and soft-baked substrate through a photomask. At this time, the PAG in the exposed area of ​​​​the first layer of SU-8 photoresist will be decomposed to generate photoacid, such as figure 2 shown.

[0019] 3. Spin-coat the second layer of SU-8 photoresist directly on the surface of the first layer of SU-8 photoresist after exposure within 1 hour, such as image 3 shown.

[0020] 4. Place the silicon substrate spin-coated with the second layer of photoresist on a hot plate and bake at 95...

Embodiment 2

[0023] Utilize the process method of making the SU-8 curved surface microstructure that embodiment 1 proposes to make microlens arrays with different curvatures (such as Figure 6 As shown), the curvature of the microlens can be controlled by adjusting the thickness of the bottom layer (first layer) SU-8 photoresist and the size and shape design of the light-transmitting structure of the photolithography mask. The thickness of the bottom layer SU-8 photoresist is between Between 10 μm-1000 μm, the shape of the light-transmitting structure of the photolithographic mask can be a regular polygon or a circle, and the side length of the regular polygon or the diameter of the circle is 10 μm-1000 μm. The fabricated microlens array can be applied to fields such as flat panel display, three-dimensional stereoscopic imaging, fiber optic coupler, micro-focusing, and micro-projection.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for fabricating a round and smooth curved surface microstructure, which is characterized by comprising the following steps: taking a negative chemically amplified photoresist as a material for fabricating the round and smooth curved surface microstructure; firstly carrying out spin coating of the first layer of the negative chemically amplified photoresist on a substrate, soft baking and exposing, and then directly carrying out spin coating of the second layer of the negative chemically amplified photoresist on the first layer of the negative chemically amplified photoresist, and post-baking; and catalyzing photoresist molecules for cross-linking in an exposure area and an adjacent diffusion area thereof by isotropic diffusion of photo acid generated afterexposure of the first layer of the photoresist during the post-baking process, and developing the cross-linked photoresist molecules to obtain the microstructure with round and smooth curved surface characteristics. Relative to the traditional gray scale mask technology and the traditional photoresist reflowing method, the method for fabricating the round and smooth curved surface microstructure has the characteristics of simple processing, low cost, stable structure and the like.
