利用透射光谱与X射线反射谱精确测量溶胶-凝胶TiO2薄膜厚度和光学常数

在洁净K9玻璃基底上沉积TiO2薄膜,将透射光谱和X射线反射光谱相结合分析获得膜层的厚度和光学常数。X射线反射谱拟合能精确得到膜层的厚度、电子密度及表面和界面粗糙度,其中膜层厚度的数值为透射光谱的分析提供了重要参考。基于Forouhi-Bloomer色散模型拟合膜层透射光谱,得到薄膜折射率和消光系数,理论曲线和实验曲线吻合良好。对于同一样品,两种光谱拟合分析得到的厚度数值非常接近,差值最大为4.9nm,说明两种方法的结合能够提高光学分析结果的可靠性。

纳米尺度HfO_2薄膜不同厚度对光学性质的影响

Hf O_2薄膜厚度达到纳米级别时,其光学性质会发生变化。光谱椭偏仪能够同时得到纳米尺度薄膜的厚度和光学常数,但是由于测量参数的关联性,光学常数的结果不准确可靠。本文采用溯源至SI单位的掠入射X射线反射技术对纳米尺度Hf O_2薄膜厚度进行准确测量,再以该量值为准确薄膜厚度参考值。利用光谱椭偏仪测量Hf O_2膜厚和光学常数时,参考膜厚量值,从而得到对应相关膜厚的薄膜准确光学参数。研究了以Al2O_3作为薄膜缓冲层的名义值厚度分别为2,5,10 nm的超薄Hf O_2薄膜厚度对光学性质的影响。实验结果表明,随着Hf O_2薄膜厚度的增加,折射率也逐渐增大,在激光波长632.8 nm下其折射率分别为1.901,2.042,2.121,并且接近于体材料,而消光系数始终为0,表明纳米尺度Hf O_2薄膜在较宽的光谱范围内具有较好的增透作用,对光没有吸收。     

厚度对未掺杂ZnO薄膜光谱性能的影响

X射线衍射光谱、拉曼光谱和紫外可见透射光谱技术是薄膜材料检测的重要技术手段。通过对薄膜材料光谱性能的分析,可以获得薄膜材料的物相、晶体结构和透光性能等信息。为了解厚度对未掺杂ZnO薄膜的X射线衍射光谱、拉曼光谱和紫外可见透射光谱性能的影响,利用溶胶-凝胶法在石英衬底上旋涂制备了不同厚度的未掺杂ZnO薄膜样品,并对薄膜样品进行了X射线衍射光谱、拉曼光谱和紫外可见透射光谱的检测。首先,通过X射线衍射光谱检测发现,薄膜样品呈现出（002）晶面的衍射峰,ZnO薄膜为六角纤锌矿结构,均沿着C轴择优取向生长,且随着薄膜厚度的增加,衍射峰明显增强,ZnO薄膜的晶粒尺寸随着膜厚的增加而长大。利用扫描电子显微镜对薄膜样品的表面形貌分析显示,薄膜表面致密均匀,具有纳米晶体的结构,其晶粒具有明显的六角形状。通过拉曼光谱检测发现,薄膜样品均出现了437 cm-1的拉曼峰,这是ZnO纤锌矿结构的特征峰,且随着薄膜厚度的增加,其特征拉曼峰强度也增加,进一步说明了随着ZnO薄膜厚度的增加,ZnO薄膜晶化得到了加强。最后,通过紫外可见透射光谱测试发现,随着膜厚的增加,薄膜的吸收边发生一定红移,薄膜样品在可见光区域内的透过率随着膜厚度增加而略有降低,但平均透过率都超过90%。通过对薄膜样品的紫外-可见透射光谱进一步分析,估算了薄膜样品的折射率,定量计算了薄膜样品的光学禁带宽度,计算结果表明：厚度的改变对薄膜样品的折射率影响不大,但其禁带宽度随着薄膜厚度的增加而变窄,且均大于未掺杂ZnO禁带宽度的理论值3.37 eV。进一步分析表明,ZnO薄膜厚度的变化与ZnO晶粒尺寸的变化呈正相关,本质上,吸收边或光学禁带宽度的变化是由于ZnO晶粒尺寸变化引起的。     

透明薄膜的干涉相干峰分离算法

白光干涉技术具有高度唯一性,广泛地被使用在三维表面形貌和台阶高度的测量。但是测量透明薄膜时,薄膜表面和基面都有光线反射与参考光线交汇,在被测表面的同一个位置不同高度两次产生干涉条纹,其干涉相干图中出现两个峰值。通过分析透明薄膜产生的干涉相干图的特点,提出了两种算法用来分离不同表面产生的干涉条纹。理论分析和试验结果表明,利用垂直扫描白光干涉法测量透明薄膜,由峰值分离算法和定位算法分别提取薄膜的上下表面,能够得到透明薄膜的高精度三维形貌和厚度信息。

Theoretical study of the normal-incidence reflective spectra for determining the thickness and refractive index of dielectric film

We theoretically study and propose the design concept of a new non-contact measurement method of the thickness and refractive index of dielectric film. The needed measurement set-up includes a probe, an optical detection head and a spectrometer. The probe is composed of two patches of dielectric substrates, and the optical detection head is used to detect the reflective spectra. After depositing a testing dielectric film on the two patches, the coating film thickness and refractive index can be determined by analyzing the normal-incidence reflective spectra of the two dielectric substrates. This method has two requirements. First, the coating dielectric films on the two substrates must be the same. Second, the two dielectric substrates respectively have higher and lower refractive indices than the testing dielectric film.     

Matrix of rectangular pores obtained by AFM nanoindentation and electrolytic oxidation of Al

AFM nanoindentation is used for pretexturing of Al sample intended for anodic oxidation in porous film-forming electrolytes. The rectangular quadratic and non-quadratic matrices of nanoindents were made by means of an AFM with diamond tip. The period of the 2D array of nanoindented concaves ranged from ∼50 to ∼370 nm. The pitch of the holes ranged from 13 to 170 nm. After anodization in water solutions of three different acids (0.3 M sulfuric, 0.3 M oxalic and 0.3 M phosphoric) at voltages chosen according to matrix period (20, 30 and 160 V), the well-arranged matrices of rectangular pores were obtained. The rectangular symmetry of the pretextured Al surface almost ideally transferred on porous alumina matrix, maintaining the highly ordered arrangement of the pores and rectangular cross section trough the whole film thickness with high pore depth to aperture size aspect ratio. During prolonged anodization in phosphoric acid, standard cells on the boundary of nanoindented area disturbed the arrangement and shape of quadratic cells.     

Optical properties change of oxide film — metal system during the film growth: computer simulation

Results of computer simulation of reflective properties of the oxide film-metal system in the process of oxidation in the air environment are presented. The complex refractive indices for oxide film and metal were used as the initial data. Thin films (the thickness is comparable with the wavelength of incident radiation) and thick films (thickness is much larger than the wavelength of incident radiation) are considered. The parameter characterizing the cyclic character of system reflectivity during the growth of film thickness was derived for the thin film. It is shown that the cyclic parameter does not depend on optical properties of a metal substrate. In the air environment, this parameter is determined by a complex refractive index of the film, its thickness, and direction of incident radiation. Relationships for the estimate of system reflectivity in the process of oxide film growth are presented for the thick film.     

短波段光学减反膜的溶胶-凝胶法制备及性能分析

 随着大型激光器的发展，对短波段减反膜的要求日益提高，其中钕玻璃激光三倍频（355nm）的减反射成为新的技术要点。采用溶胶-凝胶工艺合成SiO₂溶胶，采用提拉镀膜法制备纳米多孔SiO₂薄膜，薄膜厚度为75nm，折射率控制在1.22，镀制在石英基底上的薄膜其355nm波长的反射率仅为0.2%。通过氨处理工艺和薄膜的表面修饰，薄膜的抗磨擦性能和疏水性能大大提高，薄膜经过蘸有灰尘、乙醇的棉花球擦洗20次和50次后，透射率最大值仅分别降低0.13% 和 0.39%，与水珠的接触角达到110°。     

Direct Monitoring of Thickness and Refractive Index of Optical Thin Film Deposited on Fiber End-face

We propose a system for depositing thin films on waveguides which enables low-temperature deposition and precise control of the refractive index and film thickness. It is composed of a conventional ion-beam sputtering (IBS) system and a new system for directly monitoring film characteristics during deposition. We controlled refractive indices over a wide range from 1.52 to 1.97 by moving the sputtering targets (SiO₂ and Si₃N₄) in the IBS system. The refractive index or film thickness was in-situ monitored by observing the optical power reflected from the end-face of a monitoring fiber set in the deposition chamber. Antireflection coating films were successfully deposited on a fiber end-face and a laser diode chip facet with low reflectivity from 0.05 to 0.07%. This deposition system is attractive for constructing highly functional optical devices for future photonic networks.     

Structural characterization and optical properties of UO2 thin films by magnetron sputtering

Uranium dioxide films were deposited on Si (1 1 1) substrates by dc magnetron sputtering method at different sputtering parameters. The structure, morphology and chemical state of the films were studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. Influences of film thickness on the microstructure and optical properties were investigated. Experimental results show that the film crystallites are preferentially oriented with the (1 1 1) planes. The average grain size increases with increasing film thickness. AFM images show that the root mean square roughness of the films is between 1.2 nm and 2.1 nm. Optical constants (refractive index, extinction coefficient) of the films in the wavelength range of 350-1000 nm are obtained by ellipsometric spectroscopy. The result shows that the refractive index decreases with the increasing film thickness, while extinction coefficient increases with the film thickness.
