Simple lithographic approach for subwavelength structure antireflection
- Laboratory of Nanoimprint Lithography, China National Academy of Nanotechnology and Engineering, Tianjin 300457 (China)
A simple lithographic method is developed to generate large-area antireflective subwavelength structures (SWSs), in which the metal island films are used as masks. Using magnetron sputter deposition, stochastically arranged Ag islands were fabricated on Si substrates with dimensions controlled in the range of 50{approx}400 nm. After reactive ion etching with CF{sub 4}, Si SWSs were formed, with the same arrangement and density as those of Ag islands. The measured reflectivity was decreased from {approx}40% for polished Si to {approx}5% for Si SWS surfaces. The residual reflection was thought to be mainly from the bottoms of 'U'-shape grooves.
