Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of reactive ion etching processing of optical elements and micro-nano structures, and specifically relates to a method for suppressing periodic errors of large-aperture grating scanning etching based on frequency domain analysis. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, due to the rapid development of ultra-smooth optical surfaces, large-scale integrated circuits, chip wafers, large-aperture diffraction gratings and MEMS devices, the reactive ion beam etching (RIBE) technology of large-aperture optical components (≥200 mm) has been widely used. Traditional large-aperture optical component etching is carried out using reactive ion etching (RIE) technology, which requires expanding the size of the discharge chamber according to the size of the sample, increasing the volume of the discharge area and the distribution area of ​​the coil. However, the uniformity of large-aperture discharge plasma is difficult to guarantee. At the same time, it is difficult to obtain nano-precision structures, low surface damage and high verticality side walls during the RIE etching process. Therefore, the reactive ion beam etching (RIBE) technology developed based on reactive ion beam etching has been widely used in large-aperture etching. However, since the beam diameter of the reactive etching ion source is relatively small (generally ≤150 mm), when etching large-aperture samples, it is usually necessary to use a scanning method to perform full-aperture uniform processing. At present, China mostly uses adjustable apertures to block the beam to form a rectified distribution modulation, but this method reduces the etching efficiency. At the same time, long-term use will cause sputtering contamination of the adjustable aperture material on the grating surface. Summary of the invention
