摘要
We fabricated a refractive semiconductor microlenses using a focused ion beam (FIB) direct writing technique. The simple one-step FIB process produced high-quality microlenses of silicon, the most popular and low cost semiconductor material used in optoelectronics. A spherical Si microlens with a nominal lens diameter of 48 mum exhibited a radius curvature and focal length of 100 and 40 mum, respectively. The maximum derivation between the measured and designed profiles is less than lambda/100. The surface roughness, RMS, measured by use of atomic force microscope in 1 X 1 mum(2) square area, is 1.1 rim. This microlens fabrication method could be readily applicable due to the simplicity in processing and the high-quality results.
