[0102] When plating the metal Hf film layer in the anti-reflection film, electron gun is used for assisted evaporation, and the deposition rate is controlled at 0.06-0.08 nm / s, and the oxygen filling amount is 60-80 SCCM;

[0103] The deposition rate is controlled to be 0.5-0.6 SCCM, and the ion source is used to assist the evaporation of the first SiO2 film layer, and the electron gun is used to assist the evaporation of the other SiO2 film layers.

[0104] Due to the excessively large diameter-thickness ratio of the dichroic mirror, the first coating surface will have a great influence on the surface profile of the original element after coating the beam splitting film. In order to minimize the influence of the first coating surface on the surface profile after coating the beam splitting film, and the first coating surface generates a film layer with a large stress in the Ta2O5-SiO2 combination (long-wave pass film system) using an ion source, the ion source is used to assist the evaporation of the first layer (SiO2 film layer) during the coating of the second coating surface. After the first layer is completed, the coating is paused for about 10-20 minutes at the junction between the SiO2 and Hf film layers to ensure the firmness of the substrate film layer during Hf evaporation. In the Hf-SiO2 combination, the deposition rate is controlled to be 0.06-0.08 nm / s, the oxygen charge is 60-80 SCCM, and the film is formed by electron gun evaporation. When coating the SiO2 film layer, the deposition rate is controlled to be 0.5-0.6 nm / s, and the film is formed by electron gun evaporation.

[0105] In one or more optional embodiments of the present application, before the long-wave pass film system and the high-reflection film are sequentially coated on the first coating surface, the method further comprises:

[0106] Obtaining a coating proportion parameter and a coating target corresponding to the dichroic mirror;

[0107] According to the coating target and the coating proportion parameter, the target coating thickness of each Ta2O5 film layer in the beam splitting film, the target coating thickness of each SiO2 film layer, and the target coating thickness of each metal Hf film layer are determined respectively.

[0108] According to the target coating thickness of each SiO2 film layer in the long-wave pass film system, the coating target, and the coating proportion parameter, the target coating thickness of each SiO2 film layer in the antireflection film and the target coating thickness of each metal Hf film layer are determined respectively.

[0109] Specifically, the coating proportion parameter and the coating target corresponding to the dichroic mirror can be obtained first. Ta2O5, SiO2, and Hf can share one coating proportion parameter, or each can correspond to a respective coating proportion parameter. The coating proportion parameter can be pre-set or calculated according to actual conditions. The present application does not limit this.

[0110] Then, based on the plating target, simulation and analysis are performed to obtain the simulated plating thickness of each Ta2O5 film layer in the light-splitting film, the simulated plating thickness of each SiO2 film layer, and the simulated plating thickness of each metal Hf film layer. Then, the simulated plating thickness of each Ta2O5 film layer in the light-splitting film is multiplied by the corresponding plating proportion parameter to obtain the target plating thickness of each Ta2O5 film layer in the light-splitting film; the simulated plating thickness of each SiO2 film layer in the light-splitting film is multiplied by the corresponding plating proportion parameter to obtain the target plating thickness of each SiO2 film layer in the light-splitting film; and the simulated plating thickness of each metal Hf film layer in the light-splitting film is multiplied by the corresponding plating proportion parameter to obtain the target plating thickness of each metal Hf film layer in the light-splitting film.

[0111] Further, based on the target plating thickness of all SiO2 film layers in the long-wave-pass film system in the light-splitting film, the plating target, and the plating proportion parameter, simulation, analysis, and calculation are performed to obtain the target plating thickness of each SiO2 film layer in the antireflection film and the target plating thickness of each metal Hf film layer. Further, the long-wave-pass film system and the high-reflection film can be sequentially plated on the first plating surface according to the target plating thickness of each Ta2O5 film layer, the target plating thickness of each SiO2 film layer, and the target plating thickness of each metal Hf film layer; and the antireflection film can be plated on the second plating surface according to the target plating thickness of each SiO2 film layer and the target plating thickness of each metal Hf film layer.

[0112] It should be noted that the plating proportion parameter includes a plating proportion parameter of Ta2O5, a plating proportion parameter of SiO2, and a plating proportion parameter of Hf; and correspondingly, the process of obtaining the plating proportion parameter can be as follows:

[0113] A first lens, a second lens, and a third lens made of the same base material as the dichroic mirror are obtained.

[0114] A Ta2O5 film layer with a first set thickness is plated on the surface of the first lens, a SiO2 film layer with a second set thickness is plated on the surface of the second lens, and a metal Hf film layer with a third set thickness is plated on the surface of the third lens.

[0115] The simulated plating thickness of the Ta2O5 film layer on the second lens after plating is determined by simulation and analysis, the simulated plating thickness of the SiO2 film layer on the second lens after plating is determined by simulation and analysis, and the simulated plating thickness of the metal Hf film layer on the third lens after plating is determined by simulation and analysis.

[0116] The ratio of the first set thickness to the simulated plating thickness of the Ta2O5 film layer on the first lens is determined as the plating proportion parameter corresponding to the Ta2O5 film layer, the ratio of the second set thickness to the simulated plating thickness of the SiO2 film layer on the second lens is determined as the plating proportion parameter corresponding to the SiO2 film layer, and the ratio of the third set thickness to the simulated plating thickness of the metal Hf film layer on the third lens is determined as the plating proportion parameter corresponding to the metal Hf film layer.

[0117] Specifically, the first lens, the second lens and the third lens can be three identical plane mirrors. The first set thickness, the second set thickness and the third set thickness can be the same or different, wherein the first set thickness is the actual plating thickness of the Ta2O5 film layer on the first lens, the second set thickness is the actual plating thickness of the SiO2 film layer on the second lens, and the third set thickness is the actual plating thickness of the metal Hf film layer on the third lens. The first set thickness, the second set thickness and the third set thickness are 150-300 nanometers.

[0118] In one or more optional embodiments of the present application, the target plating thicknesses of the SiO2 film layers and the target plating thicknesses of the metal Hf film layers in the antireflection film are determined according to the target plating thicknesses of the SiO2 film layers in the long-wave-pass film system, the plating target and the plating proportion parameter, comprising:

[0119] The sum of the target plating thicknesses of the SiO2 film layers in the long-wave-pass film system is calculated to obtain the target plating thickness of the first SiO2 film layer in the antireflection film;

[0120] The target plating thicknesses of the other SiO2 film layers and the target plating thicknesses of the metal Hf film layers in the antireflection film are determined according to the target plating thickness of the first SiO2 film layer, the plating target and the plating proportion parameter, wherein the other SiO2 film layers are any SiO2 film layer in the antireflection film except the first SiO2 film layer.

[0121] In practical applications, the thickness of the first film layer (the first SiO2 film layer) in the antireflection film is the sum of the target plating thicknesses of all SiO2 film layers in the combination of Ta2O5 and SiO2 (the long-wave-pass film system).

[0122] Then, the ratio of the target plating thickness of the first SiO2 film layer to the plating proportion parameter is taken as the simulated plating thickness of the first SiO2 film layer, and simulation is performed based on the simulated plating thickness of the first SiO2 film layer and the plating target to obtain the simulated plating thicknesses of the other SiO2 film layers and the simulated plating thicknesses of the metal Hf film layers in the antireflection film.

[0123] Further, the simulated plating thicknesses of each other SiO2 film layer in the antireflection film are multiplied by the corresponding plating proportion parameters respectively to obtain the target plating thicknesses of each other SiO2 film layer in the antireflection film; the simulated plating thicknesses of each metal Hf film layer in the antireflection film are multiplied by the corresponding plating proportion parameters respectively to obtain the target plating thicknesses of each metal Hf film layer in the antireflection film.

[0124] The plating method of the dichroic mirror optical film provided by the application is further described below in combination with specific examples.

[0125] First, a dichroic mirror to be plated is obtained, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a size schematic diagram of the dichroic mirror provided by the application. According to the front view and the rear view of the dichroic mirror in Figure 2 , the lower half length and the upper half length of the dichroic mirror are both , the left half width is , and the right half width is ; the length is , and the thickness is 14.091 mm ±0.0150 , and the center thickness is 14.142 mm.

[0126] The dichroic mirror is plated with a light splitting film on the S1 surface, and the film system index is as follows: average reflectivity Ravg>96% @ 250-460 nm, 29-61 degrees (deg); average transmittance Tavg>90% @ 1050-1100 nm, 1200-1400 nm, 29-61 deg; the dichroic mirror is plated with an antireflection film on the S2 surface, and the film system index is as follows: Ravg<5% @ 250-650 nm, 1050-1100 nm, 1200-1400 nm, 29-50 deg; Ravg<10% @ 250-650 nm, 1050-1100 nm, 1200-1400 nm, 50-61 deg. As known above, S1 requires to ensure 96% average residual reflectivity under the requirements of deep ultraviolet and large angle, and to ensure 90% average transmittance under the requirements of near infrared and large angle; S2 requires to ensure a certain residual reflectivity under the requirements of deep ultraviolet, near infrared and large angle.

[0127] The light splitting film is plated on the S1 surface, including the film system design aspect and the process preparation aspect.

[0128] The film system design aspect: according to the film system index, a G| Ta2O5-SiO2-Hf-SiO2|A multi-material film system structure is designed, and the specific film system structure is G|0.88(0.5L M 0.5L)^16 0.79(HL)^12 0.67(HL)^11 0.58(HL)^110.49(HL)^11|A, the center wavelength is 550 nanometers (nm), wherein M is a high refractive index material Ta2O5, H is a high refractive index material metal Hf, L is a low refractive index material SiO2, (0.5L M 0.5L)^S is a classic long wave pass film system (Ta2O5-SiO2 film stack), (HL)^S is a classic high reflection film (Hf-SiO2 film stack). Since the transmission region of Ta2O5 is basically 330~10000nm, the characteristics of film materials Ta2O5 and SiO2 are used to make a long wave pass film system greater than 330nm (usually 330nm-1500nm), and then the characteristics of film materials metal Hf and SiO2 are used to make a high reflection film of 250nm~330nm. In this way, the birefringent mirror optical thin film can meet the requirements of high reflectivity and high damage threshold with fewer film layers.

[0129] Then the film system of the original film stack design cannot directly meet the needs of the drawing, so the target is optimized by using software, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 . Figure 3 is the spectral curve of the residual reflectivity of the birefringent mirror under 29° incident angle provided by the application, Figure 4 is the spectral curve of the residual reflectivity of the birefringent mirror under 61° incident angle provided by the application. Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the parameters are the same except that the incident angles are different (the incident angle in Figure 3 is 29°, Figure 4 is 61°). Light source: white light; incident medium: air; substrate refractive index: 1.46; exit refractive index: 1.46; detection: ideal state; center wavelength: 550nm; first surface: front surface; polarization state has three kinds of light, average, S (Senkrecht, vertical polarized light) and P (Parallel, parallel polarized light).

[0130] The design values at 29° can be calculated by software as Ravg=99.3% @ 250-460 nm, 29 deg; Tavg=98.7% @ 1050-1100 nm, 29 deg; Tavg=99.7% @ 1200-1400 nm, 29 deg; the design values at 61° can be calculated by software as Ravg=97.7% @ 250-460 nm, 61 deg; Tavg=96.7% @ 1050-1100 nm, 61 deg; Tavg=96.3% @ 1200-1400 nm, 61 deg; all the above indexes can meet the requirements.

[0131] Process preparation: according to the film system index, a new process of plating method is used in this embodiment: in the Ta2O5-SiO2 combination, the previous substrate film layer needs to be etched for 10-15 minutes by using a Hall ion source, and the vacuum degree before plating is kept below 2*10 -3 Pa, and the deposition temperature is 150-200°C, and the constant temperature is kept for 10-20 minutes; wherein Ta2O5 and SiO2 are respectively assisted by ion source for evaporation to ensure the firmness of the film layer. When plating Ta2O5 film layer, the deposition rate is controlled at 0.2-0.3 nm / s, the oxygen filling amount is 10-20 SCCM, and the film is formed by ion source assisted evaporation. When plating SiO2 film layer, the deposition rate is controlled at 0.5-0.6 nm / s, and the film is formed by ion source assisted evaporation.

[0132] Referring to Table 1, Table 1 is the plating ratio parameter (Tooling) under the process condition.

[0133] Table 1 330-1400 nm waveband film plating ratio parameter

[0134]

[0135] After the above Ta2O5-SiO2 combination plating is completed, a pause plating of 10-20 min is set at the junction of SiO2 and Hf film layer to ensure the firmness of the substrate film layer when Hf is evaporated, and in the Hf-SiO2 combination, when plating each metal Hf film layer, the deposition rate is controlled at 0.06-0.08 nm / s, the oxygen filling amount is 60-80 SCCM, and the film is formed by electron gun evaporation. When plating SiO2 film layer, the deposition rate is controlled at 0.5-0.6 nm / s, and the film is formed by electron gun evaporation. (This stage does not use ion source for assisted evaporation to prevent absorption phenomenon from occurring in the deep ultraviolet waveband and affecting the spectral curve).

[0136] Referring to Table 2, Table 2 is the plating ratio parameter (Tooling) under the process condition.

[0137] Table 2 250~330nm waveband film plating proportion parameter

[0138]

[0139] Table 1 and Table 2 are Tooling obtained under this process, plus the designed film layer thickness (simulated plating thickness), to obtain the actual plating thickness (actual plating thickness) of Table 3 (where is a part of the film layer thickness example).

[0140] Table 3 S1 actual plating film layer thickness part

[0141]

[0142] Due to the large aspect ratio of the dichroic mirror, close to 20, S1 plating will have a greater impact on the surface shape of the original part, so the application innovatively adopts a scheme to minimize the impact of S1 plating on the surface shape. Since the S1 produces a large stress film layer in the ion source Ta2O5 and SiO2 combination, the ion source is used for auxiliary evaporation during the plating of the first layer of S2, and the film thickness is the thickness of SiO2 in the Ta2O5 and SiO2 combination. After the first layer is completed, a pause plating of 10-20 min is set at the SiO2 and Hf film layer junction to ensure the firmness of the substrate film layer during Hf evaporation. In the Ta2O5 and SiO2 combination, the deposition rate is controlled at 0.06-0.08 nm / s, the oxygen flow is 60-80 SCCM, and the film is formed by electron gun evaporation. When plating the SiO2 film layer, the deposition rate is controlled at 0.5-0.6 nm / s, and the film is formed by electron gun evaporation. At the same time, the film system design software is optimized to obtain the design thickness of the S2 antireflection film. According to the Tooling information, the actual thickness (target plating thickness) is obtained as shown in Table 4.

[0143] Table 4 S2 actual plating film layer thickness

[0144]

[0145] Referring to Figures 5 to 7 . Figure 5 is the spectral curve of the residual reflectivity of the dichroic mirror provided by the application under a 29° incident angle, Figure 6 is the spectral curve of the residual reflectivity of the dichroic mirror provided by the application under a 50° incident angle, Figure 7 is the spectral curve of the residual reflectivity of the dichroic mirror provided by the application under a 61° incident angle. Figures 3 to 7 In Table 4, the parameters are different from the incident angle (29°, 50°, and 61°) Figure 5 In Table 4, the incident angle is 29°, Figure 6 In Table 4, the incident angle is 50°, Figure 7The incident angle is 61°, and all other parameters are the same. Light source: white light; incident medium: air; substrate refractive index: 1.46; exit refractive index: 1.46; detection: ideal state; center wavelength: 550nm; first surface: front surface; there are three polarization states: average, S, and P.

[0146] The software can calculate the design values ​​at 29°: Ravg=2.47% @250-650nm, Ravg=1.36%@1050-1100nm, Ravg=1.45%@1200-1400nm, 29deg; Ravg=4.07%@250-650nm, Ravg=2.06%@1050-1100nm, Ravg=3.69%@1200-1400nm, 50deg; Ravg=7.78%@250-650nm, Ravg=5.25%@1050-1100nm, Ravg=7.7%@1200-1400nm, 61deg; all of the above indicators meet the requirements.

[0147] See Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 8 This is a spectral curve of residual reflectance and transmittance of the dichroic mirror provided by the present invention at incident angles of 29-61°. Figure 9 This is a spectral curve of the residual reflectance of the dichroic mirror provided by this invention at incident angles of 29-61°. Actual coating results show that all the above indicators meet the requirements.

[0148] Refer to Tables 5 and 6. Table 5 shows the surface profile data for S1 and S2 surfaces before plating, and Table 6 shows the surface profile data for S1 and S2 surfaces after plating. The data shows that the surface profile (RMS) of the plated product is smaller than that before plating, meeting the required specifications. Furthermore, because the S2 surface uses a "back-pull" method to plate the same thickness of SiO2, the change in the product's surface profile is minimized to achieve a relatively excellent state. This technology also reduces processing costs and polishing pressure during substrate surface profile fabrication.
