Definitions
- the present invention relates to an optical element.
- This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-144899 filed in Japan on July 15, 2014 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2015-078526 filed in Japan on April 7, 2015 And the contents thereof are incorporated herein.
- a film-like antireflection structure for improving visibility is often provided on the surface of a display such as a personal computer.
- This method uses the principle of a so-called moth eye structure.
- the moth-eye structure is intended to prevent reflection by continuously changing the refractive index with respect to incident light in the thickness direction of the substrate, thereby eliminating the discontinuous interface of the refractive index.
- the antireflection structure is not limited to a minute convex portion, and may be a minute concave portion. It is preferable that the ratio of the height or depth (hereinafter referred to as aspect ratio) to the width of the structure of the fine convex portion or concave portion is large. This is because when the aspect ratio is large, the refractive index change becomes more gradual, and high antireflection performance can be obtained. On the other hand, when the aspect ratio is increased, the stability of the antireflection structure having a convex or concave structure is lost, and it is difficult to maintain the shape of the structure.
- Patent Document 1 describes that the antireflection performance of an optical element is improved by providing two or more steps on a convex portion or a concave portion.
- a discontinuous interface is generated in the interface in which the refractive index due to the moth-eye structure continuously changes. This discontinuous interface reflects a portion of the incident light.
- Patent Document 1 proposes that reflected light is reduced by causing the lights reflected at the discontinuous interface to interfere with each other.
- Patent Document 1 has insufficient antireflection performance.
- it is necessary to increase the frequency with which reflected light interferes, and it is necessary to form more steps in the convex portion or the concave portion.
- Such a convex portion or concave portion having a large number of steps needs to be manufactured through a complicated process and is difficult to manufacture.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an optical element that has high antireflection performance and is easy to manufacture.
- the present inventors have conducted extensive research focusing on the step width and step position of the recess formed in the antireflection layer. As a result, it has been found that the width and position of the step of the recess may be provided within a predetermined range.
- the present invention includes the following inventions.
- An antireflection layer having a plurality of minute recesses having a most frequent pitch equal to or less than the wavelength of light under the environment of use on a substrate, wherein 80% or more of the recesses include one or more steps.
- An optical element having the following condition: (where d is the diameter of the concave portion, h is the depth of the concave portion, and w s is a step of each step at an arbitrary cutting plane) The sum of the widths, z s is the average depth of each of these steps.)
- An antireflective layer having a plurality of minute recesses having a most frequent pitch equal to or less than the wavelength of light in a use environment is provided on a substrate, and 80% or more of the recesses include two or less steps.
- An antireflection layer having a plurality of minute recesses having a most frequent pitch equal to or less than the wavelength of light under the usage environment is provided on a substrate, and 80% or more of the recesses have one step.
- the optical element of the present invention has a high antireflection performance because it has an antireflection layer in which minute recesses are formed on a substrate, and the recesses have steps at predetermined widths and predetermined positions. Since the steps are provided at a predetermined width and a predetermined position, the number of steps can be reduced, and manufacturing can be performed more easily.

It is an area.
- the reference plane was a plane parallel to the substrate surface in the measurement region, and was a plane passing through a reference point described later.
- the most frequent pitch P is a distance between adjacent recesses, and can be specifically obtained as follows. First, an AFM image is obtained for a region selected at random on the substrate 1 and having a square region whose side is 30 to 40 times the most frequent pitch P. For example, when the most frequent pitch is about 300 nm, an image of an area of 9 ⁇ m ⁇ 9 ⁇ m to 12 ⁇ m ⁇ 12 ⁇ m is obtained. Then, this image is waveform-separated by Fourier transform to obtain an FFT image (fast Fourier transform image). Next, the distance from the zero-order peak to the primary peak in the profile of the FFT image is obtained. The reciprocal of the distance thus obtained is the most frequent pitch P in this region.

- the standard deviation of ⁇ ab in the AFM image measurement range of 50 ⁇ m ⁇ 50 ⁇ m is preferably 8.58 ⁇ m 2 or more. If the standard deviation of ⁇ ab is within a preferable range, the effect of averaging the reflected light is excellent, and the problem that the viewing angle dependency of the antireflection performance is high can be easily prevented.
- the degree of randomness of the shapes of the areas C 1 to C n is preferably such that the ratio of a to b and the standard deviation of a / b in the formula (7) are 0.1 or more.
- the randomness of the lattice orientation of each area C 1 to C n preferably satisfies the following conditions. First, a straight line K0 connecting the center points of any two adjacent recesses in any area (I) is drawn. Next, one area (II) adjacent to the area (I) is selected, and six straight lines K1 connecting an arbitrary recess in the area (II) and the center points of the six recesses adjacent to the recess.

If the step width and depth are within the above ranges, high antireflection performance can be obtained even with three or less steps, and a desired optical element can be more easily produced.
- the ratio of the recessed part which has a step is judged as follows. From the AFM image, a cross section as shown in FIG. 1 is obtained along a line having a length of 5 ⁇ m in an arbitrary direction and position.
- the cross section as shown in FIG. 1 may be obtained as a microscopic image obtained by observing a cross section of a cut sample obtained by cutting the optical element with a microscope.
- the cross section measured with the AFM image is given priority. This is because the cross section measured with the AFM image is easier to obtain the measurement surface of the cut surface passing through the deepest part of each recess, and the relationship between the step width and depth is easier to confirm.
- the cross section is an arbitrary plane perpendicular to the arrangement plane in which the concave portions are arranged. When the recesses are regularly arranged, it is preferable that the cutting direction for obtaining the cross section is a direction along the arrangement direction of the recesses.
- the shape (including depth and step position) of the concave portion may be confirmed by confirming the shape of the convex portion of the transfer product that is reversely transferred using the optical element as a mold.
- the cross section of the transferred product may be measured with an AFM image, or the cut surface may be directly observed with a microscope. From the viewpoint of obtaining a cut surface passing through the top of the transferred product, the cut surface is preferably measured by an AFM image.

- the diameter d can be obtained as the maximum diameter in the recess when a cross section perpendicular to the array surface of the recess is observed.
- Depth h is the height of the deepest point and the highest part of the recess when the cross section perpendicular to the arrangement surface of the recesses is observed (the portion farthest from the deepest point on the cut surface: hereinafter referred to as “reference point”). Obtained by calculating the difference.
- the step, step width, and step depth are defined as follows.
- the concave portions c1 to cn may have fine irregularities that are negligible in terms of function and effect in the shape of the envelope surface, and such fine irregularities are set after being ignored. Specifically, a change of 3% or less of the depth h of the recesses c1 to cn is ignored with respect to the fitting curve of the recess.
- B Draw a tangent line at each inflection point.
- C The point closest to the intersection of tangents is taken as the changing point.
- D Connect each change point with a straight line.
- the inflection point means a point at which a curve on a plane changes from convex upward to convex downward or convex downward to convex upward.
- Impossible points are also inflection points in a broad sense.
- the two inflection points are a point that is close to infinity from the reference point side with respect to the point at which the curve is bent, and a point that is close to infinity from the deepest point side with respect to the point at which the curve is bent.
- FIG. 4A The method of obtaining this inflection point in a broad sense is specifically shown using FIG. 4A.
- the reference point when checking in order from the reference point of the recess, the reference point first becomes the first inflection point.
- the points where the direction of the unevenness of the curve changes become the second inflection point and the third inflection point in order from the point close to the reference point.
- the points at which the curve bends are the fourth and fifth inflection points.
- the points where the direction of the unevenness of the curve changes become the sixth inflection point and the seventh inflection point in order from the point close to the reference point.
- the inflection point is set to two points: a point that is close to infinity from the reference point side with respect to the point where the curve bends, and a point that is close to infinity from the deepest point side with respect to the point where the curve is bent.
- the tangent lines drawn from these two points are a straight line having an inclination just before bending from the reference point side to the deepest point side and a straight line having an immediately following inclination, so that two tangent lines can be drawn as shown in FIG. 4B.
- Other inflection points can be mathematically tangent as shown in FIG. 4B.
- the closest point on the curve with respect to the intersection of the tangent lines drawn in this way is set as a change point as shown in FIG. 4C (procedure (c)).
- the non-differentiable point is drawn with two tangent lines as described above, the intersection point between them becomes a non-differentiable point. Therefore, the non-differentiable point is one of the changing points. Since the reference point is the starting point of the recess, this is also a change point.
- numbers are assigned in order from the side closer to the reference point for convenience.
- the section of this n-th straight line is Define as "step" (procedure (e)).
- step the slope of the second straight line is equal to or smaller than the absolute values of the slopes of the first straight line and the third straight line. The same applies to the fourth straight line and the sixth straight line.
- the step width means a width obtained by projecting the step defined as described above onto the reference plane of the recess. That is, in FIG. 5, the width of the first step is w 1.
- the sum of the step widths is the sum of the widths of these steps, and the total step width w s is twice the value of w 1 + w 2 + w 3 .
- the reason for the double value is that the steps are formed equally in the circumferential direction of the recess at the same depth. That is, FIG. 5 shows only a step between one reference point and the deepest point, but when cutting at an arbitrary cross section passing through the deepest point of the recess, the step is from one reference point to the deepest point.
- the step depth means the depth from the reference plane including the reference point to the midpoint of the step. That is, for example, the depth of the first step defined in FIG. 4D is a z 1.
- “Average step height z s ” means (z 1 + z 2 + z 3 ) / 3 in FIG. At this time, the reason why z s is an average value is not doubled unlike the step width.

- the mode depth means an average value of the depth of each recess in 30 to 40 or more recesses in a cross section as shown in FIG. 1 obtained using an AFM or a microscope.
- Light in use environment means any one of ultraviolet light, visible light, and infrared light.

- the mold base 11 provided with the single particle etching mask 12 on one side is subjected to gas phase etching and surface processing (etching process) to form a convex portion on one side of the mold substrate.
- etching process gas phase etching and surface processing
- a convex part can be formed by continuing an etching. By changing the etching conditions halfway, a step shape can be formed on the convex portion (FIG. 6C).
- the rate at which the particles M are etched changes, and accordingly, the rate at which the mold base 11 is etched also changes.
- the particles M constituting the single particle film etching mask 12 are not particularly limited, and for example, gold particles, colloidal silica particles, and the like can be used.
- a generally used etching gas can be used.

Therefore, by changing the concentration (flow rate) of the etching gas in the chamber, the ratio between the vertical etching and the isotropic etching can be controlled, and the step shape can be formed on the convex portion.
- the optical element can be transferred (odd number of times) from the mold to obtain an optical element in which a concave portion is formed in the antireflection layer 2. Since the transferred transfer object (antireflection layer having recesses) is formed on a one-to-one basis with respect to the mold, the pitch of the projections of the mold base 11 and the pitch of the recesses formed in the antireflection layer Are equal to each other, and the misalignment of the recesses formed in the antireflection layer is the same as that of the mold.

- the height at which the step is provided on the surface of the convex portion of the mold 100 is adjusted so that the concave portion of the optical element of the present invention has a step at a predetermined position.
- the depth at which the step on the concave surface of the optical element is formed varies depending on the transfer conditions and the material. Therefore, the optical element of the present invention can be accurately manufactured by performing a transfer test using a plurality of prototype molds with different step positions and optimizing the mold and transfer conditions.

Description
本願は、2014年7月15日に、日本に出願された特願2014-144989号と、2015年4月7日に、日本に出願された特願2015-078526号とに基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
例えば特許文献1では、凸部又は凹部に二つ以上のステップを設けることにより、光学素子の反射防止性能を向上させることが記載されている。凸部又は凹部に二つ以上のステップを設けると、モスアイ構造による屈折率が連続的に変化する界面の中に、不連続界面が生じる。この不連続界面は、入射した光の一部を反射する。この不連続界面で反射した光同士を干渉させることで、反射光を低減することが特許文献1では提案されている。
その結果、所定の範囲に凹部のステップの幅や位置を設ければよいことを見出した。
〔1〕基体上に、使用環境下の光の波長以下の最頻ピッチを有する複数の微小な凹部が形成された反射防止層を備え、前記凹部の80%以上が、1つ以上のステップを有し、かつ以下の条件を満たすことを特徴とする光学素子;(ただし、dは前記凹部の直径であり、hは前記凹部の深さであり、wsは任意の切断面における各ステップの幅の合計であり、zsはこれら各ステップの深さの平均値である。)。
〔5〕前記ステップを有する凹部の包絡面が、錘形状であることを特徴とする〔1〕~〔4〕のいずれか一項に記載の光学素子。
〔6〕隣接する7つの前記凹部の中心点が正六角形の6つの頂点と対角線の交点となる位置関係で連続して整列しているエリアを複数備え、該複数のエリアの面積、形状および格子方位がランダムであることを特徴とする〔1〕~〔5〕のいずれか一項に記載の光学素子。
図1におけるt1~tnは各凹部c1~cnの中心点である。AFM(原子間力顕微鏡)の測定結果に基づき、基準面と平行に各凹部について20nm毎に複数の等高線を引き、各等高線の重心点(x座標とy座標で決定される点)を求める。これらの各重心点の平均位置(各x座標の平均とy座標の平均で決定される位点)が、該凹部の中心点である。
図1におけるm1~mnは、AFMで求めた隣接する中心点の中点である。平坦面fは、AFMの測定結果に基づき、その領域内の中点における位置座標と、その領域内における任意の点の位置座標とを結ぶ直線の、AFMの基準面に対する傾きが±10゜以下である領域である。基準面は測定領域における基体面と平行な面で、後述する基準点を通る面とした。
まず、基体1上における無作為に選択された領域で、一辺が最頻ピッチPの30~40倍の正方形の領域について、AFMイメージを得る。例えば、最頻ピッチが300nm程度の場合、9μm×9μm~12μm×12μmの領域のイメージを得る。そして、このイメージをフーリエ変換により波形分離し、FFT像(高速フーリエ変換像)を得る。ついで、FFT像のプロファイルにおける0次ピークから1次ピークまでの距離を求める。
こうして求められた距離の逆数がこの領域における最頻ピッチPである。このような処理を無作為に選択された合計25カ所以上の同面積の領域について同様に行い、各領域における最頻ピッチを求める。こうして得られた25カ所以上の領域における最頻ピッチP1~P25の平均値が最頻ピッチPである。この際、各領域同士は、少なくとも1mm離れて選択されることが好ましく、より好ましくは5mm~1cm離れて選択される。
各エリアC1~Cnは、隣接する7つの凹部の中心点が正六角形の6つの頂点と対角線の交点となる位置関係で連続して整列している領域である。図3では、各凹部の中心点の位置を、便宜上、その中心点を中心とする円uで示している。
本発明において、隣接する7つの凹部の中心点が正六角形の6つの頂点と対角線の交点となる位置関係とは、具体的には、以下の条件を満たす関係をいう。
まず、1つの中心点t1から隣接する中心点t2の方向に、長さが最頻ピッチPと等しい長さの線分L1を引く。次いで中心点t1から、線分L1に対して、60゜、120゜、180゜、240゜、300゜の各方向に、最頻ピッチPと等しい長さの線分L2~L6を引く。中心点t1に隣接する6つの中心点が、中心点t1と反対側における各線分L1~L6の終点から、各々最頻ピッチPの15%以内の範囲にあれば、これら7つの中心点は、正六角形の6つの頂点と対角線の交点となる位置関係にある。
最頻ピッチPが500nm未満の時、10μm×10μmのAFMイメージ測定範囲内における最頻面積Qは、0.026μm2~6.5μm2であることが好ましい。
最頻ピッチPが500nm以上1μm未満の時、10μm×10μmのAFMイメージ測定範囲内における最頻面積Qは、0.65μm2~26μm2であることが好ましい。
最頻ピッチPが1μm以上の時、50μm×50μmのAFMイメージ測定範囲内における最頻面積Qは、2.6μm2~650μm2であることが好ましい。
最頻面積Qが好ましい範囲内であれば、反射防止性能の視野角依存性が高くなる問題を防止しやすい。
面積のランダム性の度合いは、具体的には、以下の条件を満たすことが好ましい。
まず、ひとつのエリアの境界線が外接する最大面積の楕円を描き、その楕円を下記式(7)で表す。
最頻ピッチPが500nm以上1μm未満の時、10μm×10μmのAFMイメージ測定範囲内におけるπabの標準偏差は、1.95μm2以上であることが好ましい。
最頻ピッチPが1μm以上の時、50μm×50μmのAFMイメージ測定範囲内におけるπabの標準偏差は、8.58μm2以上であることが好ましい。
πabの標準偏差が好ましい範囲内であれば、反射光の平均化の効果に優れ、反射防止性能の視野角依存性が高くなる問題を防止しやすい。
各エリアC1~Cnの格子方位のランダム性は、具体的には、以下の条件を満たすことが好ましい。
まず、任意のエリア(I)における任意の隣接する2つの凹部の中心点を結ぶ直線K0を画く。次に、該エリア(I)に隣接する1つのエリア(II)を選択し、そのエリア(II)における任意の凹部と、その凹部に隣接する6つの凹部の中心点を結ぶ6本の直線K1~K6を画く。直線K1~K6が、直線K0に対して、いずれも3度以上異なる角度である場合、エリア(I)とエリア(II)との格子方位が異なる、と定義する。
エリア(I)に隣接するエリアの内、格子方位がエリア(I)の格子方位と異なるエリアが2以上存在することが好ましく、3以上存在することが好ましく、5以上存在することがさらに好ましい。
FFT基本波の最大値と最小値の比が大きい場合は、凹部の格子方位が揃っており、凹部を2次元結晶とみなした場合、単結晶性が高い構造と言える。反対に、FFT基本波の最大値と最小値の比が小さい場合は、凹部の格子方位が揃っておらず、凹部を2次元結晶とみなした場合は多結晶構造であると言える。
凹部の形状が確認しにくい場合は、光学素子をモールドとして反転転写した転写品の凸部の形状を確認することにより、凹部の形状(深さ、ステップ位置を含む)を確認してもよい。この際、転写品の断面は、AFMイメージを測定してもよいし、切断面を顕微鏡で直接観察してもよい。転写品の頂部を通る切断面を得る点から、切断面はAFMイメージにより測定することが好ましい。
この断面の凹部が30個~40個以上含まれる任意の部分を抽出し、その中に含まれる各凹部について、ステップを有する凹部の割合を測定する。
直径dは、凹部の配列面に垂直な断面を観測した際の凹部における最大径として求めることができる。
深さhは、凹部の配列面に垂直な断面を観測した際の凹部における最深点と最も高い部位(切断面において最深点から最も離れた部分:以下「基準点」という)との高さの差を求めることで得られる。
まずステップは、以下の手順で設定する。凹部c1~cnは、包絡面の形状において、作用効果上無視できる程度の微細な凹凸を有する場合があり、そのような微細な凹凸は無視した上で設定するものとする。具体的には、凹部のフィッティング曲線に対して、凹部c1~cnの深さhの3%以下の変化は無視する。
(ア)広義の変曲点を求める。
(イ)変曲点のそれぞれに接線を引く。
(ウ)接線の交点に最も近い点を変化点とする。
(エ)各変化点同士を直線で結ぶ。最も最深点に近い変化点は、次の変化点がないため、変化点における接線を引く。こうして得られた直線を基準点(凹部断面の最も高い部位)に近いものから第1直線、第2直線、・・・とする。
(オ)これらの直線のうち第n直線の傾きの絶対値が、第n-1直線の傾きおよび第n+1直線の傾きの絶対値以下である場合、この第n直線の区間を「ステップ」と定義する。
上記(ア)~(オ)の手順を、図4A~図4Dを用いて説明する。図4A~図4Dはステップの定義を説明するための模式図である。
ステップの幅は、図5で示すように、前述のように定義されたステップを凹部の基準面への射影した幅を意味する。すなわち、図5において、第1ステップの幅はw1である。ステップの幅の合計は、これら各ステップの幅の合計であり、ステップの幅の合計wsは、w1+w2+w3の2倍の値となる。2倍の値となるのは、ステップは同じ深さにおいて、凹部の周方向に同等に形成されるためである。すなわち、図5では1つの基準点から最深点までの間にあるステップのみを示しているが、凹部の最深点を通る任意の断面で切断した際に、ステップは1つの基準点から最深点までの間と、最深点からもう一つの基準点までの間にも存在するため2倍となる。
ステップの深さは、基準点を含む基準面からステップの中点までの深さを意味する。すなわち、例えば図4Dで定義された第1ステップの深さはz1となる。「ステップの高さの平均値zs」は、図5において(z1+z2+z3)/3を意味する。このとき、ステップの幅と異なり2倍の値とならないのは、zsは平均値であるためである。
光学素子10は、三角格子状に凹部が配列する場合、その三角格子状に形成された3個の凹部に囲まれた領域に、突起部を有することが好ましい。ここで、突起部とは、基体と反対側に、平均基準面よりも突出している部分を示す。平均基準面とは、AFMまたは顕微鏡を用いて得られた図1のような断面における30個~40個以上の凹部における各凹部における基準点の高さ(基体に対して鉛直方向の高さ)を平均した平均点を通り、基体と平行な面を意味する。同様に、光学素子10は、正方格子状に凹部が配列する場合、凹部4個に囲まれた領域に突起部を有することが好ましい。
以下に、光学素子の製造方法について説明する。本発明の光学素子は、所定の形状を有する金型を奇数回転写することで得ることができる。この金型は、多数の粒子Mを2次元的に配列させたエッチングマスクを用いることで作製することができる。図6A~Dは、本発明の光学素子の製造方法を模式的に示した図である。
以下に各工程について具体的に説明する。
まず、クロロホルム、メタノール、エタノール、メチルエチルケトンなどの揮発性の高い溶剤のうちの1種以上からなる疎水性の有機溶剤中に、表面が疎水性の粒子を加えて分散液を調製する。また、図7Aに示すように水槽(トラフ)Vを用意し、これに、その液面上で粒子を展開させるための液体(以下、下層水という場合もある。)として水Wを入れる。
そして、分散液を下層水の液面に滴下する(滴下工程)。すると、分散媒である溶剤が揮発するとともに、粒子が下層水の液面上に単層で展開し、2次元的に最密充填した単粒子膜Fを形成することができる(単粒子膜形成工程)。
図7Bで示すように、単粒子膜形成工程により液面上に形成された単粒子膜Fを、単層状態のままエッチング対象物である金型基体11上に移し取る(移行工程)。金型基体11は平面状でもよく、曲面、傾斜、段差等の非平面形状を一部もしくは全部に含んでいても良い。単粒子膜Fは、金型基体11が平面でなくても2次元的な最密充填状態を維持しつつ基体表面を被覆することが可能である。単粒子膜Fを金型基体11上に移し取る具体的な方法には特に制限はなく、例えば、疎水性の金型基体11を単粒子膜Fに対して略平行な状態に保ちつつ、上方から降下させて単粒子膜Fに接触させ、ともに疎水性である単粒子膜Fと金型基体11との親和力により、単粒子膜Fを金型基体11に移行させ、移し取る方法;単粒子膜Fを形成する前にあらかじめ水槽の下層水内に金型基体11を略水平方向に配置しておき、単粒子膜Fを液面上に形成した後に液面を徐々に降下させることにより、金型基体11上に単粒子膜Fを移し取る方法などがある。これらの方法によれば、特別な装置を使用せずに単粒子膜Fを金型基体11上に移し取ることができる。より大面積の単粒子膜Fであっても、その2次的な最密充填状態を維持したまま金型基体11上に移し取りやすい点で、いわゆるLBトラフ法を採用することが好ましい(Journal of Materials and Chemistry, Vol.11, 3333 (2001)、Journal of Materials and Chemistry, Vol.12, 3268 (2002)など参照。)。
粒子配列工程では、下記式(8)で定義される配列のずれD(%)が10%以下となるように、金型基体11に複数の粒子Mを単一層で配列させることが好ましい。
ずれDは、1.0~3.0%であることがより好ましい。
一方、粒子M間のピッチとは、シート面方向における隣り合う2つの粒子Mの頂点と頂点の距離であり、最頻ピッチBとはこれらを平均したものである。粒子Mが球形であれば、隣り合う粒子Mの頂点と頂点との距離は、隣り合う粒子Mの中心と中心の距離と等しい。
まず、単粒子膜Fにおける無作為に選択された領域で、一辺が粒子M間の最頻ピッチBの30~40倍のシート面と平行な正方形の領域について、原子間力顕微鏡イメージを得る。例えば粒径300nmの粒子Mを用いた単粒子膜Fの場合、9μm×9μm~12μm×12μmの領域のイメージを得る。そして、このイメージをフーリエ変換により波形分離し、FFT像(高速フーリエ変換像)を得る。ついで、FFT像のプロファイルにおける0次ピークから1次ピークまでの距離を求める。こうして求められた距離の逆数がこの領域における最頻ピッチB1である。このような処理を無作為に選択された合計25カ所以上の同面積の領域について同様に行い、各領域における最頻ピッチB1~B25を求める。こうして得られた25カ所以上の領域における最頻ピッチB1~B25の平均値が式(8)における最頻ピッチBである。この際、各領域同士は、少なくとも1mm離れて選択されることが好ましく、より好ましくは5mm~1cm離れて選択される。
この際、FFT像のプロファイルにおける1次ピークの面積から、各イメージについて、その中の粒子M間のピッチのばらつきを評価することもできる。
配列のずれD(%)を10%以下とするため、粒子Mの粒径の変動係数(標準偏差を平均値で除した値)は、20%以下であることが好ましく、10%以下であることがより好ましく、5%以下であることがさらに好ましい。
金型基体11に設けられる凸部のピッチは、粒子M間の最頻ピッチBと同等となる。配列のずれD(%)が小さければ、凸部のピッチは、粒子Mの平均粒径Aとほぼ同等となる。そのため、粒子Mの平均粒径Aを適切に選択することにより、所望のピッチの凸部を精度良く形成することができる。
このように形成された単粒子膜Fが単粒子エッチングマスク12として機能する。単粒子エッチングマスク12が片面に設けられた金型基体11を、気相エッチングして表面加工する(エッチング工程)ことにより、金型基板の片面に凸部を形成する。具体的には、気相エッチングを開始すると、まず図6Bに示すように、エッチングマスク12を構成している粒子Mの隙間をエッチングガスが通り抜けて金型基体11の表面に到達し、その部分に溝が形成され、各粒子Mに対応する位置にそれぞれ円柱13が現れる。このとき、気相エッチングにより各円柱13上の粒子Mも徐々にエッチングされて小さくなる。さらにエッチングを続けることにより、凸部を形成することができる。エッチングの条件を途中で変更することで、凸部にステップ形状を形成することができる(図6C)。エッチング条件を変更すると、粒子Mがエッチングされる速度が変化し、それに伴い金型基体11をエッチングする速度も変化する。
これらの粒子Mおよびエッチングガスは、エッチングされる金型基体11に合わせて変更することができる。例えば単粒子膜エッチングマスクを構成する粒子として金粒子を選択し、金型基体としてガラス基板を選択してこれらを組み合わせた場合、エッチングガスにCF4、CHF3などのガラスと反応性のあるものを用いると、金粒子のエッチング速度が相対的に遅くなり、ガラス基板のほうが選択的にエッチングされる。
単粒子膜エッチングマスク12を構成する粒子Mとしてコロイダルシリカ粒子を選択し、基体としてPET基板を選択してこれらを組み合わせた場合、エッチングガスにArなどの不活性ガスを用いることで、比較的柔らかいPET基板を選択的に物理エッチングすることができる。
一方で、基板の材質とエッチングガスの種類の組み合わせによるが、気相エッチングでは、プラズマによって生成したラジカルによる等方性エッチングも並行して起こる。ラジカルによるエッチングは化学エッチングであり、エッチング対象物のどの方向にも等方的なエッチングが生じる。
ラジカルは電荷を持たないためバイアスパワーの設定でエッチング速度をコントロールすることはできないが、エッチングガスのチャンバー内濃度(流量)で操作することができる。そのため、エッチングガスのチャンバー内濃度(流量)を変化させることでも垂直エッチングと等方エッチングの割合を制御することができ、凸部にステップ形状を形成することができる。
金型の作製方法は、当該方法に限られない。例えば、単粒子エッチングマスクの代わりに、干渉露光によりパターンが形成されたフォトレジストマスクを用いても良い。アルミの陽極酸化において処理電圧を変更することで、対応する凹形状を有するモールドを作製することもできる。この場合、当該モールドから偶数回転写することにより凹部を有する反射防止層を作製することができる。
上述の転写方法としては、成形型に流動性の材料を流し込んだ後、材料を固化して成形型表面の表面形状を転写する射出成形、金型を樹脂やガラス材料に押し付けて表面形状を転写する所謂ナノインプリントなどが挙げられる。
[1] 基体上に、使用環境下の光の波長以下の最頻ピッチを有する複数の微小な凸部を備え、前記凸部の80%以上が、1つ以上のステップを有し、かつ以下の条件を満たすものである金型。
(ただし、dmは前記凸部の直径であり、wtは任意の切断面における各ステップの幅の合計である。)。
(ただし、dmは前記凸部の直径であり、wtは任意の切断面における各ステップの幅の合計である。)。
(ただし、dmは前記凸部の直径であり、wtは任意の切断面における各ステップの幅の合計である。)。
ステップを有する凸部の割合は以下のように判断する。金型100のAFMイメージまたは実際に金型を切断した顕微鏡画像から、任意の方向と位置における長さ5μmの線に沿った図12のような断面を得る。断面は、凸部が配列する配列面に垂直な面である。凸部が規則的に配列している場合は、断面を得るための切断方向を凸部の配列方向に沿った方向とすることが好ましい。
直径dmは、凸部の頂部t1’~tn’を通り、凸部の配列面に垂直な断面における凸部の最大径として求めることができる。
金型100の凸部表面においてステップを設ける高さは、本発明の光学素子の凹部が所定の位置にステップを有するように調整される。
金型を用いた射出成形またはインプリントにおいて、光学素子の凹部表面のステップが形成される深さは、転写条件および材料によって変化する。そのため、ステップの位置を変えた複数の試作金型を用いて転写テストを行い、金型および転写条件の最適化を行うことにより、本発明の光学素子を精度よく製造することができる。
屈折率n0の物質と、屈折率nsの物質の界面への光が入射した際の反射について考える。このとき屈折率nsの物体は、図8で示すように凹部形状を有する。
まず図8に示すように、凹部を有する反射防止層を基準点側からN層に分けてスライスし、基準点側から第1層、・・・第N層までを有する層構造とみなす。第j番目の層は、幅qの空気の領域と幅1-qの反射防止層の領域が繰り返してなる。このときの幅は第j-1層との界面の幅とする。この第j番目の層における実効屈折率をnj、この層の厚さをdjとした。このとき、njは屈折率n0、nsおよび幅qから求めることができる。djは、凹部の最頻深さを層数Nで割ることで求めることができる。
凹部が一つのステップを有するとして、ステップの幅の合計wsおよびステップの深さの平均値zsを変更しながら平均反射率を求めた。このとき凹部の深さhは295nm(平均値)、最頻ピッチPは120nm、直径dは120nm(平均値)とした。光は屈折率1.0の空気から、屈折率1.5の界面に入射角5°で入射するものとし、反射防止層の材料の屈折率も1.5とした。その結果を表1に示す。
平均反射率は以下のように求めた。まず、波長380nmの光を入射角5°で入射した際の光の反射率を、式(13)から計算する。その後、20nm刻みで780nmまで各波長の光を入射した際の反射率を、同様に式(13)から計算する。これら各波長の光の反射率の平均値を求め、平均反射率とした。
0.12d≦ws≦0.17dおよび0.42h≦zs≦0.52hを満たす領域は、ステップを有さない場合の平均反射率(0.1047)と比べても、半分以下の平均反射率となり非常に優れた反射防止性能を有することが分かる。
ステップが2つの場合においても、実施例1と同様にステップの幅の合計wsおよびステップの深さの平均値zsを変更しながら平均反射率を求めた。このとき、2つのステップは、典型的な例としてzs=aとしたときに0.75aおよび1.25aの位置に存在するものとした。すなわち、例えばzs=0.40hとしたときは、2つのステップは0.30hおよび0.50hの位置に存在するものとした。また各ステップの横幅はws/4、縦幅は0.1h/2とした。その結果を表2に示す。このとき凹部の深さ、最頻ピッチ、直径および反射率の計算条件は実施例1と同じとした。
ステップが3つの場合においても、実施例1と同様にステップの幅の合計wsおよびステップの深さの平均値zsを変更しながら平均反射率を求めた。このとき、3つのステップは、典型的な例としてzs=aとしたときに0.5a、1.0a、1.5aの位置に存在するものとした。すなわち、例えばzs=0.40hとしたときは、3つのステップは0.20h、0.40h、0.60hの位置に存在するものとした。また各ステップの横幅はws/6、縦幅は0.1h/3とした。その結果を表3に示す。このとき凹部の深さ、最頻ピッチ、直径および反射率の計算条件は実施例1と同じとした。
つまり、0.10d≦ws≦0.20d、かつ0.44h≦zs≦0.56hの範囲では、ステップが2つの場合の方が、ステップが3つの場合より平均反射率の面で優れており、ステップの数を2つ以下とすることができる。
つまり、0.09d≦ws≦0.15d、かつ0.44h≦zs≦0.56hの範囲では、ステップが1つの場合の方が、ステップが2つの場合より平均反射率の面で優れており、ステップの数を1つとすることができる。
次に凹部の包絡面の形状を変更して平均反射率を求めた。凹部の深さと、基準点を含む基準面から3/4hの深さでの凹部の幅d3/4を変更することで、包絡面の形状を変更した。
凹部は、一つのステップを有し、ステップの幅の合計wsを0.14dおよびステップの深さ位置の平均値zsを0.48hで固定した。また凹部の最頻ピッチPは90nm、直径dは90nm(平均値)とした。光は屈折率1.0の空気から、屈折率1.5の界面に入射角5°で入射するものとし、反射防止層の材料の屈折率も1.5とした。その結果を表4に示す。表4における行は凹部の直径dに対する基準点を含む基準面から3/4hの深さでの凹部の幅d3/4の割合であり、列は凹部の最頻深さhである。
凹部の最頻ピッチを120nm、直径を120nm(平均値)としたこと以外は、実施例4と同様にして、平均反射率を求めた。その結果を表5に示す。表5における行は凹部の直径dに対する基準面3/4hの深さでの凹部の幅d3/4の割合であり、列は凹部の最頻深さhである。
凹部の最頻ピッチを200nm、直径を200nm(平均値)としたこと以外は、実施例4と同様にして、平均反射率を求めた。その結果を表6に示す。表6における行は凹部の直径dに対する基準面3/4hの深さでの凹部の幅d3/4の割合であり、列は凹部の最頻深さhである。
入射する光の波長による平均反射率の変化を求めた。
凹部は、1つのステップを有し、ステップの幅の合計wsを0.14dおよびステップの深さの平均値zsを0.48hで固定した。凹部の最頻ピッチPは120nm、直径dは120nmとした。光は屈折率1.0の空気から、屈折率1.5の界面に入射角5°で入射するものとし、反射防止層の材料の屈折率も1.5とした。
可視光領域の波長を入射した際の結果を図9に、近赤外領域の波長の光を入射した際の結果を図10に、近紫外の波長を入射した際の結果を図11に示す。
図10では、凹部の最頻深さが、295nm、650nmの場合を求めた。比較のため、凹部がステップを有さない場合で、凹部の最頻深さが295nm、650nmの場合も求めた。この図10から、近赤外光を入射しても、最頻深さが入射した光の波長範囲における中央値の45~55%の際に、特に高い反射防止性能を示していることが分かる。
図11では、凹部の最頻深さが、140nm、295nmの場合を求めた。また比較のため、凹部がステップを有さない場合で、凹部の最頻深さが140nm、295nmの場合も求めた。この図11から、近紫外光を入射しても、最頻深さが入射した光の波長範囲における中央値の45~55%の際に、特に高い反射防止性能を示していることが分かる。
