Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of grating manufacturing, and in particular relates to an internal reflection type immersion grating and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The immersion grating consists of a grating and a prism. The grating is located at the bottom of the prism. The incident light is incident on the prism surface, refracted into the prism, and diffracted on the grating. The diffracted light leaves the prism surface after being refracted by the prism. Since the diffraction occurs inside the medium with a high refractive index (inside the prism), the optical path difference and the character dispersion increase proportionally. When the immersion grating is used in the spectrometer, it can not only achieve high spectral resolution, but also reduce the focal length of the collimation system, thereby greatly reducing the size of the spectrometer. With the gradual improvement of spectral resolution and the demand for miniaturization of grating-type imaging spectrometers, immersion gratings are gradually being used in high-precision remote sensing atmospheric monitoring imaging spectrometers.

[0003] Related technologies reported the use of ion beam etching to prepare a trapezoidal grating on a quartz substrate, and then bonding the trapezoidal grating to a quartz prism to form an immersion grating, and also reported the use of wet etching <100> The step grating is prepared from a flat single crystal silicon with a crystal orientation, and then bonded to a silicon prism, and a reflective film is plated on the grating. The above-mentioned immersion gratings are all made by bonding the original engraved grating to the prism. The original engraved grating has a long production cycle, high cost and cannot be produced in batches in a reproducible manner. In order to further reduce the production difficulty and cost of the immersion grating and ensure that the performance of the immersion grating does not deteriorate, it is urgent to develop a method for rapid preparation of the immersion grating and grating protection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] After analysis, it was found that there are currently two main methods for making immersion gratings. The first method is to directly process the relief grating on the surface of the prism (immersion medium). The second method is to process the prism (immersion medium) and the grating separately and finally bond them together.

[0025] The first method is to directly process the grating on the bottom surface of the prism, or to prepare the relief grating on the surface of the cubic immersion dielectric material, and then cut the cubic immersion dielectric material into a prism. Since the immersion dielectric material must be directionally etched and directionally formed according to high-precision specifications, and the relief grating surface lacks protection during the prism forming process, the manufacturing process of directly processing the relief grating on the surface of the immersion dielectric material to make the immersion grating is more difficult, which is not conducive to the rapid batch production of immersion gratings.

[0026] The second method is to prepare a relief grating on the front of the immersion medium plane substrate by photolithography, ion beam etching, chemical corrosion or single-point diamond cutting, and then glue the back of the immersion medium plane substrate to the prism. Compared with the first method, this method avoids directly processing the grating on the prism, but the production process of forming a relief grating on the immersion medium plane substrate still includes multiple processes such as coating, gluing, exposure and etching. In other words, the grating production process is still complicated and not conducive to mass production, and the production cost is high. In addition, the relief grating is in contact with the outside world for a long time, and there is a risk of grating damage and performance degradation. Therefore, it is necessary to explore a method for rapid preparation of immersion gratings with low cost and high yield, and to ensure that the formed grating has a long service life.

[0027] To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing an internal reflection immersion grating, which can reduce the manufacturing period and difficulty of the internal reflection immersion grating and increase the service life of the grating while ensuring the diffraction efficiency of the internal reflection immersion grating.

[0034] It should be noted that the drawings provided in the embodiments of the present invention are all illustrated by taking the first immersion medium body 2 as a prism and the second immersion medium body 3 as a planar substrate as an example. In other embodiments of the present invention, the first immersion medium body 2 may also be a planar substrate and the second immersion medium body 3 may be a prism.

[0035] In the method for manufacturing an internal reflection immersion grating provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the function of the grating master 1 is to provide the geometric morphology of the grating. Specifically, the grating master 1 has an embossing surface with a microstructure 11 on the embossing surface, and the shape of the microstructure 11 corresponds to the shape of the grating to be formed subsequently.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the microstructure 11 may include a plurality of grating grooves, and the grating grooves may be rectangular grooves or triangular grooves; in other embodiments of the present invention, the grating grooves may be grooves of other shapes, as long as the grating can be formed by embossing the grating grooves.

[0037] In the method for manufacturing an internal reflection immersion grating provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the prism is the main body of the internal reflection immersion grating, and both the incident light and the diffracted light propagate inside it. The flat substrate is the protective backplane of the grating. The grating is used to improve the diffraction dispersion and distribute the reflected energy flow to a specific diffraction order. The high reflection film 7 is used to improve the diffraction efficiency of the grating.

[0038] Furthermore, providing the grating master 1 includes: providing a master substrate, and forming a microstructure 11 on one side surface of the master substrate; the way of forming the microstructure 11 includes at least one of mechanical scratching, ion beam etching, electron beam exposure, laser direct writing or wet etching.

[0039] Furthermore, the material of the first initial solidified layer 41 and the material of the second initial solidified layer 42 both include epoxy resin, and the formed grating is an epoxy resin grating.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, the material of the first initial solidified layer 41 or the material of the second initial solidified layer 42 also includes epoxy resin and refractive index matching liquid. It should be noted that the initial solidified layer (the first initial solidified layer or the second initial solidified layer) with the refractive index matching liquid is the initial solidified layer in contact with the prism, the refractive index matching liquid is used to reduce the interface reflection between the prism and the solidified layer (the first solidified layer or the second solidified layer), and the epoxy resin is used to undertake the replication transfer of the microstructure 11 of the grating master 1 and to bond the planar substrate and the prism together.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first initial solidified layer 41 and the second initial solidified layer 42 may be formed by coating.

[0042] Furthermore, the step of forming the first solidified layer 51 includes: using a stamping surface to perform alignment stamping on the side of the first initial solidified layer 41 away from the first immersion medium body 2 to form a grating on the first initial solidified layer 41, and curing the first initial solidified layer 41 before removing the grating master 1 to form the first solidified layer 51 with the grating, and then removing the grating master 1; the step of forming the second solidified layer 52 includes: aligning the side of the second immersion medium body 3 formed with the second initial solidified layer 42 with the side of the first solidified layer 51 with the high reflection film 7 and stamping, and performing a curing operation after the stamping is completed to convert the second initial solidified layer 42 into the second solidified layer 52, and the second solidified layer 52 bonds the first immersion medium body 2 and the second immersion medium body 3 together to achieve the sealing of the grating, that is, the plane substrate serves as a protective plate for the grating.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, after forming the second solidified layer 52, the method further includes: applying sealant to the side gaps at the connection between the first solidified layer 51 and the first immersion medium body 2, the side gaps at the connection between the second solidified layer 52 and the second immersion medium body 3, the side gaps at the connection between the high reflection film 7 and the second solidified layer 52, and the side gaps at the connection between the high reflection film 7 and the first solidified layer 51. This is beneficial to improving the structural stability of the internal reflection immersion grating and extending the service life of the internal reflection immersion grating.

[0044] In some examples, the curing operation may be a high temperature curing process.

[0045] In other embodiments of the present invention, ultraviolet curing UV glue may also be used as the first initial curing layer 41 and the second initial curing layer 42, and the curing operation may be a UV radiation curing process.

[0046] Furthermore, before using the stamping surface to perform alignment stamping on the first initial solidified layer 41, the method further includes: forming an anti-sticking film layer on the stamping surface. The anti-sticking film layer prevents the structure of the grating from being damaged when the grating master is removed from the first solidified layer.

[0047] Further, the anti-adhesive film layer includes a silicone oil film and an aluminum film stacked in sequence in a direction away from the grating master 1. It should be noted that after peeling off the grating master, the silicone oil film and the aluminum film need to be removed, and the aluminum film is helpful to avoid the unremoved oil film between the subsequently formed high-reflection film and the grating.

[0048] Furthermore, the high reflection film 7 includes at least one of a gold film, a silver film and an aluminum film.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, the high reflective film may also be a multilayer dielectric film, which may be composed of dozens or even hundreds of layers of alternating high refractive index dielectric material layers and low refractive index dielectric material layers.

[0050] Furthermore, the method for forming the high reflective film 7 includes at least one of ion beam sputtering, electron beam evaporation or magnetron sputtering.

[0051] For further reference, Figure 3 The method for manufacturing the internal reflection immersion grating further includes: coating an anti-reflection film 6 on the incident surface of the prism. The anti-reflection film 6 is used to increase the transmittance of the working wavelength to the incident surface of the prism and reduce the interface reflection of the incident surface of the prism.

[0052] A specific embodiment of the present invention is further described below.

The manufacturing method of the internal reflection immersion grating is as follows:

The thickness of the solidified layers on the bottom surface of the prism and the surface of the planar substrate can be in the range of 4.8 μm to 5.2 μm, preferably 5 μm;

[0058] Step 5, align and emboss the grating master 1 obtained in step 2 and the prism with the solidified layer obtained in step 4, apply pressure to squeeze out the excess solidified layer, obtain a very thin and uniform solidified layer, then place it in an oven, bake it at 70°C for 5 hours for solidification, and cool it to room temperature and take it out;

[0059] Step 6, separating the grating master plate 1 and the prism along the grating line direction, at which time an aluminum grating microstructure is formed on the bottom surface of the prism;

[0060] Step 7, placing the prism with aluminum grating microstructure obtained in step 6 in a NaOH solution with a mass concentration of 10 g / L and letting it stand, taking out the prism after the aluminum film is completely dissolved and disappearing, and drying it with high-purity nitrogen gas to obtain a prism with epoxy resin grating;

[0061] Step 8, coating a gold film (high reflective film 7) on the epoxy resin grating in step 7 by electron beam evaporation assisted deposition, and the thickness of the gold film may be 100 nm;

[0062] Step 9, aligning and stamping the prism coated with the high-reflection film 7 with the solidified layer formed on the flat substrate in step 4, and repeating the solidification operation in step 5;

[0063] Step 10: The prism and the flat substrate bonded together in step 9 are not separated, and the excess solidified layer overflowing from the edge is removed with a blade or an organic solvent, thereby finally forming an internal reflection immersion grating.

[0064] Another aspect of the present invention provides an internal reflection type immersion grating. The internal reflection type immersion grating can be formed by using the manufacturing method of the internal reflection type immersion grating provided in the above embodiment.

Therefore, the internal reflection immersion grating has high stability, which is beneficial to avoid damage to the structure of the grating caused by external stress, and is beneficial to prolonging the service life of the grating.
