    I have a collection of old 100mm test Si wafers that also have the multi colored effect. The photo resist is somewhere around 40 to 100 nm thickness. They were exposed with EUV light where I used to work in Berkeley. I'm quite impressed by your ability to get results this good in a home lab setup. Nicely done.

    As a side note, silicon wafers are annealed with an intense light source called a Vortek lamp.
    In a fused silica tube, water is pumped one way, argon gas the other and a strong AC current is passed through.

    Just a small recommendation. You could also bake the substrate at 115-120C before the photo-resist coating to drive out any possible water on the surface of the substrate, this improves adhesion. If possible, also apply a chemical called HMDS to further improve the adhesion of photo-resist. This small steps tend to improve the resolution somewhat.

    • @craigking391
      @craigking391 2 года назад +1

      Yes, a prebake is good for resists that are sensitive to moisture in the air. A 2 minute bake and on to a copper plate for 10 seconds then coat immediately. Usually gets me a good quality coating.

    The color effect I think is due to the same reason some butterfly wing is blue. Micro structures reflect selectively, but the interesting thing is that this butterfly wing is blue even with different view angles so it's not just plain diffraction. This should be interesting if you could produce colors using micro structures with your setup.

      @@HuygensOptics Actually I did this with my young son at the time to flip toast off a counter top as part of a school science project. So the idea is you nudge the toast jam side up horizontally off the kitchen counter (simulate the normal kitchen blunder"), and generally as the toast slips over the edge a partial rotation is introduced, given the standard height of a counter top, 1G and the time taken to make half a rotation tends to be a very good fit for said toast to land jam side down. We did tests with higher counter tops and even from the top of the fridge to see if we could introduce a full rotation so it would land Jam side UP. I believe a University in the U.K. also did similar tests (Southampton or Exeter, can't remember ) did some very rigorous work on that also. There is some substantial research and statistics on this (now). I wonder how often stuff gets dropped at Intel lol.

    @niteman555 5 лет назад +1

    Those color patterns seem to be the result of regular, non-even lithography due to variations in feature shape caused by edge effects. The uneven etching would cause interference patterns in the reflected visible light, and the color regularity would be caused by similar features having similar interference patterns. What do you think?

    • @HuygensOptics
      @HuygensOptics  5 лет назад

      Very good suggestion. Yes, I think it could be this kind of effect. As was mentioned in the video I think it is the thickness variations in the resist causing the effect. It can be either refraction, or an interference effect, for example between the glass/resist interface and the resist/air interface.

      @@HuygensOptics Ahhh I see what you mean, the diffraction pattern is locked to the wavelength(s) of light in the original holographic plate and hence reducing that by a factor 5, (If that was possible) would create a diffraction pattern (theoretically) that is not even in the visible spectrum. So you would need a synthetically generated holographic diffraction pattern (to start off with) that would be 5x the size to create a smaller holographic plate? [Which I guess would be pointless maybe?].
      As an aside I've been wondering about aliasing artifacts (sampling theory) with the lens you are using is there are any useful effects or accidental byproducts from your rig (as well as the colors) ? I'll keep watching with interest and anticipation.

      It's a very good question and actually I do not know a good answer to this. It is far from trivial why the film would end up uniformly, especially on large wafers that are used in chip manufacture. I guess it is all about the right combination of solvent (so the evaporation rate), the solid content, viscosity and spinning speed.

    Why not use a 405nm laser? You have some chromatic aberration with the LED. I suppose you'll have polarization and interference issues but that could be solved and averaged out by vibrating the laser slightly. Alternatively, you could use a band pass filter to narrow the LED spectrum or if your optics in the beam path sharply absorb below 405nm, like some of mine do, then you could use a short pass filter around 410nm to get a band pass effect.
    I'm also wondering how hard it was to focus the image onto the diffuser glass. Did you essentially have to level all for corners precisely in focus to get the whole pattern?
    Over all, awesome video and good methods.

    • @HuygensOptics
      @HuygensOptics  3 года назад +4

      I tried using a 405nm laser and it gave quite a lot of speckles in the image. I guess, as you said, slightly vibrating the laser could solve that. But more importantly, it is not easy to blow up the laser beam to a size where it would illuminate the full surface of the condensing mirror. especially not if the laser is so close to the mirror surface. As for focussing: I set the diffuser as accurately perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens, then tweaked the angles of the mask a bit in order to get the image sharp in all corners in the image. Tweaking the mask is easier since it is 5 times less sensitive to movement, due to the demagnification.
