Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solid-state magnetometer fabrication technology, and relates to a solid-state magnetometer that efficiently excites NV color centers and its fabrication method. Background Technology

[0002] Solid-state magnetometers based on NV color centers are a novel, multidisciplinary technology integrating quantum technology, optoelectronic information technology, micro-nano technology, microwave technology, and signal processing technology. They enable ultra-high precision detection of weak magnetic vectors, exhibiting high sensitivity and high spatial resolution in weak magnetic detection. Furthermore, NV atomic magnetometers possess significant potential advantages, including long spin coherence time, small size, fast start-up speed, wide operating temperature range, and high stability. In addition, NV color center-based solid-state magnetometers can achieve a resolution of up to 40 nm in biomedical imaging, far exceeding the current highest resolution of 120 nm for optical near-field imaging.

[0003] The basic principle of a solid-state magnetometer based on NV centers is as follows: NV centers generate fluorescence upon excitation by a 532nm wavelength laser. The fluorescence spectrum, modulated by a 2.87GHz microwave, displays electron spin resonance. Under different magnetic field environments, the degree of Zeeman splitting of the electron spin resonance reflects the vector information of the magnetic field. Based on this physical principle, weak magnetic fields can be detected through related optical excitation and collection. Several patents, such as CN108983121 A and CN108732518A, have discussed this topic. While significant research has been conducted, their excitation and collection processes suffer from drawbacks such as large size, low integration, and low efficiency.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] The fabrication of a highly efficient solid-state magnetometer for exciting NV centers mainly includes the following steps:

[0042] 1. Preparation of tunable Fresnel zone plate S1: The preparation process is as follows Figure 1 As shown, a 300µm thick quartz glass substrate is used as the substrate, and grooves of 3-5µm are etched to form the substrate. A polycrystalline silicon thin film (α-Si) with a thickness of 300-500nm is grown by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Then, a zone ring is formed by dry etching using surface microscopy (N / MEMS). Simultaneously, metal is grown and patterned to form driving electrodes pad1-pad4, and structural release forms cantilever beams L1-L4, forming a tunable Fresnel zone plate S1 (its structure is shown in the figure). Figure 2 As shown, L1 and L3 form a cantilever beam in the Y direction, with corresponding pads pad1 and pad3; L2 and L4 form a cantilever beam in the X direction, with corresponding pads pad2 and pad4; the adjustable Fresnel zone plate S1 can be driven by any of piezoelectric, electrostatic adsorption, or electromagnetic methods. The system is debugged by adjusting the focal length through an external voltage to ensure that the laser focal spot can accurately fall on the NV color center surface.

[0043] 2. Preparation of diamond S2 with NV color center structure: (1) The side surface of the diamond with NV color center structure is subjected to oblique ultrafine processing. Laser ablation, grinding and polishing processes are used to form four oblique side surfaces S on the diamond with NV color center structure. 21 (like Figure 3 (as shown); (2) the above-mentioned upper surface S is deposited by atomic deposition (ALD). 22 To grow Ta2O5 or SiO2 materials to form a composite film on the upper surface S 23 To increase the transmittance of the laser and the high reflectivity of the fluorescence; (3) on the lower surface S mentioned above 25 Growth of Ta2O5 or SiO2 materials to form a lower surface composite film S 26 (Its main function is that fluorescence can be efficiently transmitted and other stray light can be effectively filtered out); (4) on the oblique side surface S of the diamond 21 A high-reflectance film (using any one of Cr, Cu, Ag, Al2O3, or SiO2 to provide high fluorescence reflectivity) and a protective film (using SiO2 to enhance the oxidation resistance of the high-reflectance film) are formed by growing a high-reflectance film material and a SiO2 material respectively using atomic deposition (ALD) to grow high-reflectance film material and SiO2 material respectively. These are then combined to form a beveled-side composite film S. 24 Thus, diamond S2 with an NV color center structure (its structure is as follows) is obtained. Figure 4 As shown in the figure (where a is a top view and b is a cross-sectional view), the upper surface S of the diamond S2 with the NV color center structure is... 22 The area is smaller than the lower surface S 25 The area of ​​the four oblique sides S21 All have sloping sidewalls. The upper surface of the improved diamond S2 with NV color center structure is covered with a bottom fluorescent high reflective film and a surface laser high transmittance film. The side surface of the improved diamond S2 with NV color center structure is covered with a bottom fluorescent high reflective film and a surface fluorescent protective film.

[0044] 3. Fabrication of a metasurface structure S3 on diamond S2 with an NV color center structure: Using diamond S2 with an NV color center structure as a substrate, photoresist is spin-coated and patterned on the upper surface. A thin film material with a refractive index greater than or equal to TiO2 is grown by physical vapor deposition (PVD). Then, the thin film material is patterned by a liftoff method to form several superatoms (this superatomic structure can achieve efficient microwave coupling, thereby maximizing fluorescence excitation while reducing microwave power). Finally, a metasurface structure S3 is grown on the surface of diamond S2 with an NV color center structure (its structure is as follows). Figure 5 As shown in the figure, where a is the top view and b is the cross-sectional view.

[0045] 4. Continue to fabricate microwave-coupled antennas S4 on diamond S2 with NV color center structure to form an improved diamond with NV color center structure: Using diamond S2 with NV color center structure and surface-grown metasurface structure S3 as a substrate, first spin-coat photoresist and pattern it on the surface without metasurface structure S3. Then, grow a strip-shaped or ring-shaped metal material (where the refractive index of the metal material is greater than or equal to TiO2, such as copper) by physical vapor deposition (PVD). Then, pattern it by liftoff to form microwave-coupled antenna S4, thereby forming an improved diamond with NV color center structure with surface metasurface structure S3 and microwave-coupled antenna S4 (its structure is as follows). Figure 6 As shown, a is a top view of the strip microwave coupled antenna, b is a top view of the loop microwave coupled antenna, and c is a cross-sectional view of the microwave coupled antenna.

[0046] 5. Preparation of a solid-state magnetometer with high efficiency for exciting NV color centers: (1) Using the photodetector S5 as a photodetector, the improved diamond with the superstructure S3 on the surface is precisely positioned by flip-chip bonding and seamlessly connected to the photodetector S5. Then, the connected product is fixed in an aluminum alloy bracket with a precision positioning hole.

[0047] (2) The adjustable-focus Fresnel zone plate S1 is fixed through the precision positioning holes of the aluminum alloy bracket. The height is adjusted by tapping to achieve coarse adjustment of the lens focal length in the adjustable-focus Fresnel zone plate S1. The lens focal length of the adjustable-focus Fresnel zone plate S1 is finely adjusted by the electronic control unit to form a solid-state magnetometer that efficiently excites NV color centers (structure as shown). Figure 7 (As shown).

[0048] In the use of the high-efficiency solid-state magnetometer with NV center excitation prepared in this invention, the laser light is focused through a tunable Fresnel zone plate S1, modulated by a microwave coupling antenna S4, and incident on the upper surface of the improved diamond S2 with NV center structure. Under the modulation of the microwave coupling antenna S4 and the action of the magnetic field, the generated fluorescence is focused onto the photodetector S5. The relevant parameters of the magnetic intensity are read based on the information of the fluorescence signal. The working principle of the high-efficiency solid-state magnetometer with NV center excitation prepared in this invention is as follows: a 532nm wavelength laser light is collimated and focused through S1 to a depth of 30-50µm on the diamond surface. A 2.87GHz microwave light is coupled to S2 through S4. Due to the effect of S3, the microwave light is more concentrated at the focal spot of the laser light. Under the action of the magnetic field, fluorescence is generated in S2 containing NV centers. This fluorescence acts on the surface of the diamond. 23 and S 24 Total internal reflection occurs after passing through the S-channel, and the vast majority of the fluorescence passes through the S-channel. 26 Then it enters S5, and after passing through the signal detection circuit, the magnetic field information is read out.

[0049] In summary, this invention discloses a highly efficient solid-state magnetometer for exciting NV centers. The solid-state magnetometer comprises a tunable-focus Fresnel zone plate S1, an improved diamond with an NV center structure S2, a metasurface structure S3 containing the improved diamond S2 surface with an NV center structure, a microwave-coupled antenna S4, and a photodetector S5. The solid-state magnetometer of this invention uses a tunable-focus Fresnel zone plate S1 instead of a traditional objective lens to achieve collimation and focusing of the excitation laser; its focal length can be adjusted electronically. Simultaneously, a metasurface structure S3 is fabricated on the surface of the diamond with NV centers to further concentrate microwave energy. Furthermore, an inclined surface is formed on the sidewall of the diamond using the M / NEMS method, and a composite film structure is deposited to achieve high fluorescence reflectivity while effectively protecting the high-reflectivity film. Therefore, based on the M / NEMS method and micro-assembly, this invention introduces a tunable-focus Fresnel zone plate S1, and simultaneously introduces a metasurface structure and a diamond sidewall oblique ultra-fine processing method within the intrinsic body of the NV color center. This concentrates laser and microwave energy, achieving efficient excitation of the NV color center and efficient collection of fluorescence, thus achieving the miniaturized integration of a solid-state magnetometer based on efficient excitation and collection of NV color centers. In the solid-state magnetometer of this invention, the NV color center achieves efficient fluorescence excitation and collection under the dual action of laser and magnetic field, overcoming the problems of large size, low integration, and low efficiency of current NV color center magnetometers.
