Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, there are roughly two preparation methods for pixel-level multispectral filters. One method is based on the Fab cavity film structure. The intermediate cavity layer is etched to form micron-scale steps of different thicknesses to adjust the spectral peak position, and finally the second reflective film stack is plated to form an array-like periodic arrangement of pixel-level multi-spectral filters. The spectral channel transmittance of the filter is low, the half-width of the channel is narrow, and the spectral range is also very limited
The other is based on a wide-band pass film structure. First, use the Lift-off photolithography process to pattern micron-scale spectral channel units on the substrate, then plate a wide-band pass film stack, and finally remove the photoresist to form a A spectral channel, repeating the above steps to form an array-type periodic arrangement of pixel-level multi-spectral filters, this method due to the shadow shielding effect during coating causes the size of the spectral channel unit to deteriorate, and the thickness of the coated broadband pass-through film stack is limited. The prepared optical filter has poor spectral passband characteristics

Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing a pixel-level multispectral optical filter, which comprises the following steps: depositing a thick wide band-pass filter film stack with a good spectralpassband characteristic on a substrate; preparing a graphical metal film on the band-pass filter film stack; dry etching the band-pass filter film stack on the graphical metal film to prepare a steepstep-shaped spectrum channel unit; repeating the steps to prepare other spectrum channel units; and finally removing the metal films on all the spectrum channel units. The method provided by the invention has the beneficial effects that: a band-pass filter film stack which is 5-15 microns thick and is arranged in an arrayed and periodical mode can be formed, the passband characteristics of a spectral channel of the pixel-level multispectral optical filter can be improved, the graphical metal film is used as a mask layer and an etching stop layer to prevent a formed spectral channel unit from being etched, and a shadow shielding effect in the preparation process is reduced to ensure the integrity of the appearance size of the channel unit.
