Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronics, and discloses a controllable metasurface structure based on a phase change material and a preparation method of the controllable metasurface structure. The structure comprises a substrate, a bottom electrode layer, a transparent insulating layer and a top electrode layer sequentially distributed from bottom to top; a metasurface unit and a plurality of microelectrode columns are arranged in the transparent insulating layer; the upper surface and the lower surface of the metasurface unit are connected with the microelectrode columns, or any one of the upper surface and the lower surface of the metasurface unit is connected with the microelectrode columns, and the other surface is connected with the bottom electrode layer or the top electrode layer; one end of each microelectrode column is connected with the metasurface unit, and the other end of each microelectrode column is connected with the bottom electrode layer or the top electrode layer; under the action of different pulse currents, the metasurface units can generate reversible phase changes of different degrees, so that the electromagnetic wave transmittance of the controllable metasurface structure is changed. The phase change degree of the phase change material in the metasurface structure is accurately controlled by accurately controlling applied current, so that the function of accurately modulating the optical performance of a device based on the metasurface is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronics, and more specifically relates to a controllable metasurface structure based on a phase change material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] A metasurface is a two-dimensional simplified version of a metamaterial, which can precisely control the amplitude, polarization, phase, frequency, etc. of electromagnetic waves at the sub-wavelength scale through scattering structural units, and obtain any form of electromagnetic field distribution. The so-called metamaterial is a material that does not exist in nature. By artificially designing the material composition and arrangement of the micro-nano structure inside the material, some conventional materials can achieve any physical and chemical properties required by physics. Its application range can almost cover The entire electromagnetic spectrum, from ultraviolet to microwave, has driven the innovation of optical d...
