[0003] Currently, the single-wavelength direct optical monitoring method in related technologies uses a single monitoring chip to monitor multiple HL (high refractive index) film stacks, where H represents high refractive index material and L represents low refractive index material. However, due to the different refractive indices of the HL materials, the thickness error of the preceding film layers will change the substrate optical properties (effective refractive index) during the monitoring of subsequent film layers.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The following examples illustrate this. Figures 1 to 12 The optical coating machine, coating control method, and storage medium provided in the embodiments of this application are described in detail.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of an optical coating machine provided in an embodiment of this application. The optical coating machine 1 includes a coating stage 11, a coating gun assembly 12 and a light source 13 located on one side of the coating stage 11, and a detection module 14 and a control module 15 located on the other side of the coating stage 11. The coating stage 11 can be... Figure 1 The platform shown can also be used for Figure 2 The curved stage shown is umbrella-shaped. This coating stage 11 is equipped with a substrate changing mechanism 111, a first through-hole 112 corresponding to the substrate changing mechanism 111, and a second through-hole 113 for mounting glass substrates. Figure 3 As shown, the wafer changing mechanism 111 may include a chassis a and multiple monitoring wafers disposed on the chassis a. The chassis a has a rotating shaft, and the monitoring wafers are used to monitor the coating process of a single refractive index material, i.e., cross-coating of materials with different refractive indices. In some embodiments of this application, the wafer changing mechanism 111 may further include a shielding disk b and a toggle member c sleeved on the rotating shaft. The shielding disk b has a window for exposing the monitoring wafers, and the toggle member c is used to drive the chassis a to rotate. The toggle member c includes, but is not limited to, connected springs and claws. The advantage of this arrangement is that it can provide torque, making the switching of monitoring wafers more precise and less prone to slippage.

[0023] The coating gun assembly 12 is used to coat the glass substrate and the monitoring sheet. It may include a first coating gun and a second coating gun. The first coating gun emits an electron beam to heat a high-refractive-index material, causing the high-refractive-index material to form vapor and deposit onto the glass substrate and the monitoring sheet. The high-refractive-index material may be TiO2. The second coating gun emits an electron beam to heat a low-refractive-index material, causing the low-refractive-index material to form vapor and deposit onto the glass substrate and the monitoring sheet. The low-refractive-index material may be SiO2. The light source 13 is used to irradiate the monitoring sheet through the first through-hole 112, and it may be a laser. It is understood that the coating gun assembly 12 and the light source 13 are located at different positions on the coating stage 11 to prevent the coating gun assembly 12 from coating the light source 13.

[0024] Additionally, the detection module 14 is used to detect the emission spectrum of the monitoring film. It may include a monochromator 141 that receives the emitted light from the monitoring film using an optical fiber, and a photodetector 142 and a data processor 143 connected in sequence to the monochromator 141. The data processor 143 is used to output the emission spectrum of the monitoring film. The control module 15 is used to obtain the current position of the target monitoring film. If the current position of the target monitoring film is different from the position of the first through-hole 112, the target monitoring film is moved to the first through-hole 112 using a rotating shaft, and the coating thickness of the coating gun assembly 12 is controlled based on the emission spectrum of the target monitoring film.

[0025] For example, the coating stage 11 is also provided with a third through hole 114 for the passage of reference light. The third through hole 114 is adjacent to the first through hole 112, which can ensure that the light signal fluctuation is consistent in the shortest time. The reference light is formed by the light source 13. The control module 15 may include a controller 151 and a motor unit 152 and a cylinder unit 153 connected to the controller 151. The motor unit 152 is used to control the rotation of the coating stage 11, and includes, but is not limited to, a servo motor and an encoder. The cylinder unit 153 is used to control the rotation of the changing mechanism 111, and includes, but is not limited to, a counter, a proximity sensor, a cylinder and a lever. When the proximity sensor detects the arrival of the changing mechanism 111, the cylinder is used to operate the lever to rotate the changing mechanism 111.

[0026] In actual use, the controller 151 can determine the coding position of the motor unit 152, the cylinder descent position, and the cylinder ascent position of the cylinder unit 153 based on the position of the reference light at the start of coating. Since the third through hole 114 is unobstructed, the reference light is 100% transmitted. The position where the photocurrent is maximum detected by the detection module 14 is the position of the reference light. At this time, the encoder reading is the coding position of the motor unit 152. Subtracting the preset value from the encoder reading gives the cylinder descent position, and adding the preset value to the encoder reading gives the cylinder ascent position, thus achieving initialization. During the coating process, a counter is used to record the number of times the cylinder completes descent or ascent, and the current position of the target monitoring piece is determined based on the number of times the cylinder completes descent or ascent. This is repeated until the target monitoring piece moves to the first through hole 112. For example, the changing mechanism 111 has... n At position, the current value of the counter is [number]. K ,but K / n The remainder is the actual position of the plate changing mechanism 111.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, the optical coating machine 1 may further include a vacuum chamber 16, with the coating stage 11, coating gun assembly 12 and light source 13 located inside the vacuum chamber 16, and the detection module 14 and control module 15 located outside the vacuum chamber 16. By setting the vacuum chamber 16, it is possible not only to ensure that the target material sublimated into atomic or molecular state does not collide with air molecules and that the travel path does not deviate from the preset direction, thus accurately depositing it on the glass substrate and monitoring sheet, but also to avoid introducing impurities and improve the coating quality.

[0028] The optical coating machine provided in this application embodiment switches the target monitoring sheet to the first through hole by setting a sheet changing mechanism on the coating stage. Each target monitoring sheet only monitors the coating process of a single refractive index material. In other words, different refractive index materials are coated in a cross manner. Even if an error occurs in a certain film layer, the transmission chain can be interrupted in time and the machine can return to the normal state. The coating thickness of the coating gun assembly can be accurately controlled based on the emission spectrum of the target monitoring sheet, thereby greatly improving the coating accuracy.

[0029] Based on the foregoing embodiments, this application provides a coating control method, which is used for... Figures 1 to 3 The control module 15 of the optical coating machine 1 in the corresponding embodiment. Please refer to... Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart of a coating control method provided in an embodiment of this application. The coating control method specifically includes the following steps: S101, Obtain the current location of the target surveillance video.

[0030] For example, suppose the film changing mechanism 111 has n At position, the current value of the counter is [number]. K ,but K / n The remainder is the actual position of the film changing mechanism 111, and the current position of the target monitoring film can be determined based on the actual position of the film changing mechanism 111 and the rotation direction of the film changing mechanism 111.

[0031] S102, if the current position of the target monitoring film is different from the position of the first through hole on the coating stage, the target monitoring film is moved to the first through hole by the rotation axis of the chassis, and the coating thickness of the coating gun assembly is controlled based on the emission spectrum of the target monitoring film.

[0032] It should be noted that the matrix calculation method in thin-film optics is a tool that transforms complex electromagnetic field boundary condition problems into matrix algebra operations. In this embodiment, a 2×2 characteristic matrix can be established for each monitoring film. The characteristic matrix of the monitoring film changes accordingly with each monitored film layer. Assuming an incident angle of 0° (perpendicular incidence), the characteristic matrix of a single-layer film... It can be represented as: = (1) In equation (1), Indicates the first The phase thickness of the film, its value is , Indicates the wavelength of light in a vacuum. Indicates the first The optical refractive index of the film, Indicates the first Optical thickness of the film; Represents the imaginary unit. .

[0033] Furthermore, from the first layer closest to the substrate to the second layer closest to the incident medium... Q The total characteristic matrix of the multilayer membrane system can be obtained by multiplying the characteristic matrices of all single-layer membranes in sequence. ,Right now: = (2) Here, the order of matrix multiplication is that the incident light first enters the first... Q The outermost layer, then the first layer (the innermost layer, right next to the base), so matrix multiplication starts from the first layer (outermost layer). (Outermost layer) ride to (Innermost layer). Next, calculate the effective admittance. , Indicate the optical refractive index of the substrate; for K9 glass, it is 1.52. Calculate the reflection coefficient. and reflectivity , The refractive index of the incident medium is 1 for air. The transmittance of a multilayer thin film under ideal conditions with no absorption is... Therefore, the theoretical extreme transmittance and theoretical stopping point transmittance of each film layer can be calculated.

[0034] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the solid line represents the theoretical spectral curve, and the dashed line represents the actual spectral curve. First, calculate the first difference A2 between two adjacent actual extreme transmittance values ​​(P1, P2) in the emitted spectrum of the target monitoring film. Then, based on the second difference A1 between two adjacent theoretical extreme transmittance values ​​(TP1, TP2), the third difference B1 between the transmittance at the theoretical stopping point (S1) and the previous theoretical extreme transmittance value (TP2), and the first difference A2, calculate the fourth difference B2 = A2 between the transmittance at the actual stopping point (S2) and the previous actual extreme transmittance value (P2). B1 / A1; then, based on the fourth difference B2 and the previous actual extreme transmittance (P2), the actual stop point (S2) transmittance is obtained, and when the real-time transmittance in the emission spectrum of the target monitoring film is the actual stop point transmittance, the coating gun group is controlled to stop the coating of the current film layer.

[0035] Taking a 45° optical communication filter as an example, Figures 6 to 8 This is a schematic diagram of the coating monitoring curves for related technologies. The first monitoring plate monitors layers 1-20. Figure 6 As shown), the second monitoring panel monitors floors 21-36. Figure 7 As shown), the third monitoring panel monitors floors 37-52 ( Figure 8As shown in the image, using a single monitoring chip to monitor multiple HL-combined membrane stacks results in errors accumulating and amplifying layer by layer, causing significant fluctuations and failing to obtain a spectral curve close to the design curve. Figures 9 to 12 This is a schematic diagram of the coating monitoring curve in an embodiment of this application. The first and third monitoring sheets monitor material H, and the second and fourth monitoring sheets monitor material L. That is to say, each monitoring sheet independently monitors material H or material L. Even if an error occurs in a certain film layer, it will not affect the determination of the stop point of the next layer, and the transmission chain can still be interrupted in time and return to the normal state.

[0036] The descriptions of the same steps and contents as in other embodiments in this example can be found in the descriptions of other embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0037] The coating control method provided in this application provides a coating stage with a changing mechanism to switch the target monitoring sheet to the first through hole. Each target monitoring sheet monitors only the coating process of a single refractive index material. In other words, different refractive index materials are coated in a cross manner. Even if an error occurs in a certain film layer, the transmission chain can be interrupted in time and the system can return to normal. The coating thickness of the coating gun assembly can be accurately controlled based on the emission spectrum of the target monitoring sheet, thereby greatly improving the coating accuracy.
