Abstract

The invention discloses an ultrathin metal membrane terahertz absorbed layer and a preparation method thereof. Absorbed layer equipment is arranged on the top layer of a terahertz detector sensing unit. An ultrathin metal membrane adjusts a craft parameter and distribution of etching agent concentration by etching and thinning metal ultrathin equipment with a big thickness in the process of etching and thinning, a microcell etching rate difference is caused, and a rough, multi-hole and melanism ultrathin metal membrane is obtained. The etching method has two types, one method enables a metal thin membrane to be etched to the ultrathin metal membrane by utilizing of a reaction ion etching method and the etching late corrosion phenomenon of a dry method, and the method has the advantages that the reaction process and the thickness of the ultrathin metal membrane are easily controlled and the like. The other method enables the metal thin membrane to be corroded to the ultrathin metal membrane by utilizing a wet process chemical corrosion method, and the other method has the advantages that the surface shape and the color of the ultrathin metal membrane are easily controlled, and the like. The surface structure of the rough, multi-hole and melanism metal thin membrane has the advantages of being high in surface body ratio and low in reflectivity, and effectively enhances absorption performance and rate of terahertz radiation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of terahertz detection and imaging, in particular to an ultra-thin metal film terahertz absorbing layer and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Terahertz (Terahertz, THz) wave refers to electromagnetic radiation with a frequency between 0.1~10THz (wavelength 3mm~30??m), and its electromagnetic spectrum is between the microwave and infrared bands. Therefore, the terahertz system takes into account both electronics and optical systems The advantages. For a long time, due to the lack of effective THz radiation generation and detection methods, people's understanding of the nature of electromagnetic radiation in this band is so limited that this band is called the THz gap in the electromagnetic spectrum. This band is also the last frequency window in the electromagnetic spectrum to be fully studied. In recent years, due to the development of free electron laser and ultrafast laser techn...
