Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an optical micro-nano pattern on the surface of a lithium niobate film, which belongs to the technical field of micro-nano processing. The method comprises the following steps: manufacturing a layout required by electron beam exposure; cleaning and drying a lithium niobate substrate; sputtering a metal conductive layer on the lithium niobate substrate; spin-coating the lithium niobate substrate with electron beam glue; carrying out first electron beam exposure on the lithium niobate substrate to manufacture a mark; carrying out developing andfixing; carrying out magnetron sputtering of metal on the lithium niobate substrate to manufacture a metal mark; removing the photoresist and stripping a metal-masked pattern to prepare a lithium niobate sheet with a metal bulge mark; spin-coating the lithium niobate sheet with electron beam glue; carrying out second electron beam exposure on the lithium niobate sheet to manufacture a pattern; carrying out developing and fixing; and carrying out pattern transfer to form a micro-nano structure. By means of the method, a pattern with a steep side wall can be manufactured on a non-conductive lithium niobate material, a micro-nano pattern with the size smaller than 900nm can be manufactured, the manufactured optical waveguide is large in refractive index contrast ratio, the size of an opticaldevice can be reduced, and the performance of the optical device can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for making optical micro-nano patterns on the surface of a lithium niobate thin film, belonging to the technical field of micro-nano processing. Background technique [0002] Lithium niobate material (LiNbO 3 ) is a non-conductive uniaxial crystal. Due to its wide light transmission window (340-4600nm) and excellent electro-optic, acousto-optic, nonlinear optics, and piezoelectric properties, it is widely used in the fields of optical signal processing, quantum electrodynamics, and optomechanics. with broadly application foreground. Single crystal lithium niobate thin films can be prepared by ion implantation and bonding technology. Due to the emergence of lithium niobate thin films, lithium niobate materials have received more attention in the field of integrated optics. [0003] At present, the fabrication methods of lithium niobate optical waveguide mainly include titanium diffusion and proton exchange after photo...
