Description

The absorption-type multilayer film neutral colour filter
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of absorption-type multilayer film neutrality (ND) optical filter that makes the transmitted light decay of visibility region, particularly relates to the improvement of the absorption-type multilayer film nd filter that adopts thin substrate such as resin film, resin plate or sheets of glass.
Background technology
Known in this ND optical filter (Neutral Density Filter) have the reflection incident light and the reflection-type ND optical filter that makes it to decay, absorb incident light and the absorption-type ND optical filter that makes it to decay.And when in the debatable lens optical system of reflected light, enrolling the ND optical filter, usually use absorption-type ND optical filter, in this absorption-type ND optical filter, have to the own blended absorbent material of substrate (coloured glass ND optical filter) or the coating type of absorbing material and substrate itself and do not absorb but type that the film that forms in its surface absorbs.Also have, in the latter case, for the reflection that prevents film surface constitutes multilayer film with above-mentioned film, and the effect that has the function of decay transmitted light and prevent to reflect.
And the absorption-type multilayer film nd filter that constitutes by multilayer film as above-mentioned film, the multilayer film of combined electrical dielectric layer and titanium oxide layer is disclosed in No. 3359114 communique of JP patent, also have, disclose the multilayer film of combined electrical deielectric-coating and niobium rete in the TOHKEMY 2002-350610 communique.
Also have, disclose in the flat 10-133253 communique of TOHKEMY a kind of for avoiding since the mechanicalness contact scratch, and at least one side the most surperficial the method for the dielectric hard film layer of formation.

But, when being suitable for extremely thin glass substrate or resin plate, resin film as substrate, distinctive problem as follows can take place.
That is, if on every side single face of extremely thin glass substrate or resin plate, resin film, form the different multilayer film of structure, then because the membrane stress of formed each multilayer film and substrate can be to a lateral bending song.At this moment, even if the desirable membrance casting condition that comprehensive membrane stress is cancelled on each of each one-sided multilayer film, just on single face only during film forming substrate can not carry out film forming under the crooked condition yet, although then form multilayer film on the two sides, substrate can be not crooked yet.And the said method that can be cancelled as comprehensive membrane stress, having on each layer the method for eliminating membrane stress, eliminate the method for membrane stress by the film of alternately laminated drawing stress and compression stress, is very difficult in reality but make the situation of the membrane stress vanishing of multilayer film.
For example, as shown in Figure 1, forming absorption-type multilayer film 1 on the face of substrate 3 under the situation of the general absorption-type multilayer film nd filter that forms antireflection film 2 on another face, if absorption-type multilayer film 1 is bad with the membrane stress balance of antireflection film 2, then under the situation that substrate 3 is made of extremely thin glass substrate or resin plate, resin film, substrate can be crooked.And, very thin and nearly all be at metal film by SiO 2Under the situation of the above-mentioned absorption-type multilayer film 1 shown in Figure 1 that constitutes,, can not use because metal film is very thin by with the alternately laminated method of eliminating membrane stress of the film of above-mentioned drawing stress and compression stress, need be with SiO 2The membrane stress of film is adjusted into zero.But with SiO 2The membrane stress of film is adjusted into zero membrance casting condition and sets difficulty in reality.
And when curved substrate, bonding or deposited time operation becomes difficult problem with this ND optical filter in existence, and, when using near imaging apparatus also the disadvantage that image can be distorted might take place.

On the other hand, absorption-type multilayer film nd filter of the present invention, be to make the absorption-type multilayer film of transmitted light decay be formed on absorption-type multilayer film nd filter on the substrate that constitutes by resin film, resin plate or sheets of glass, it is characterized in that above-mentioned absorption-type multilayer film is by stacked by SiO mutually 2, Al 2O 3Perhaps the dielectric layer formed of the potpourri of these grades constitutes with multilayer film by the metallic diaphragm of Ni monomer or Ni class alloy composition, and, this absorption-type multilayer film is respectively formed on the two sides of aforesaid substrate, make that become with this substrate is center and symmetrical membrane structure, simultaneously the radius-of-curvature of curved substrate is adjusted to 500mm or more than it.
And, aforesaid substrate is made of resin film, resin plate or sheets of glass, and its material is not special to be limited, but material transparent preferably, consider batch process, be preferably the substrate with flexibility of the roll coating that can carry out dry type described later.Have flexible substrate, compare also very excellent aspect cheapness, light weight, the deformability with in the past glass substrate etc.Especially, as substrate, preferred resin plate or resin film.
As the resin plate that constitutes aforesaid substrate or the object lesson of sheets of glass, can list the resin plate from the resin material of dimethyl ester (PET), polyethersulfone (PES), polyacrylate (PAR), polycarbonate (PC), polyene (PO) and norbornane, selected or the monomer of resin film, or the complex of the monomer of resin plate of from above-mentioned resin material, selecting or resin film and the propylene class organic membrane on single face that covers this monomer or two sides.Particularly, for the norbornane resin material, the representative Nuo A (ゼ オ ノ ア) (trade name) that can list Japan father-in-law's (ゼ オ Application) company and Ah 's (ア one ト Application) (trade name) of JSR company etc.
Also have, above-mentioned metallic diaphragm is made of aforesaid Ni monomer or Ni class alloy, but preferably is made of the Ni class alloy material that selecteed element a kind of or more than it from Ti, Al, V, W, Ta, Si is added among the Ni especially.
About the detailed content narration more later on of this reason, its summary is as follows.That is, during with sputtering method plating Ni film, along with the continuous use of Ni target, the thickness attenuation of Ni target, thereby at the part of Ni target attenuation, the leakage field grow in plasma space.And when the leakage field grow in plasma space, flash-over characteristic (sparking voltage, discharge current etc.) changes and the film forming velocity variations.When producing in a word, use, the problem that the film forming speed of Ni film changes along with the consumption of Ni target will take place, thereby be difficult to the unified absorption-type multilayer film nd filter of steady production characteristic if same Ni target is long-time continuously.For avoiding this problem, as mentioned above, as long as use the Ni class alloy material that the element of selecting from Ti, Al, V, W, Ta, Si a kind of or more than it is added among the Ni to constitute above-mentioned metallic diaphragm.
Secondly, an object lesson of expression absorption-type multilayer film nd filter of the present invention in Fig. 6, this absorption-type multilayer film nd filter, be that (PC: polycarbonate) substrate 12 and the reflection that has that forms respectively on the two sides of this substrate 12 prevent that the absorption- type multilayer film 13,16 of function from constituting its major parts, and its transmissivity is 12.5% by film.In addition, in following table 2, represent concrete membrane structure, the constituent material of above-mentioned absorption- type multilayer film 13,16, the thickness and the refractive index of each layer respectively.Also have, the theoretical spectral transmissison characteristic of the absorption- type multilayer film 13,16 of absorption-type multilayer film nd filter of the present invention is illustrated among Fig. 7, and its theoretical spectral reflection characteristic is illustrated among Fig. 8.
Table 2
Figure C20051010857100101
And as shown in table 2, above-mentioned absorption- type multilayer film 13,16 is from the respectively alternately laminated in order metallic diaphragm of being made up of the Ni monomer 15,18 of substrate 12 sides with by SiO 2The dielectric layer of forming 14,17 and constitute.In addition, these the number of plies is arbitrarily.But in Fig. 6, expression is two-layer by metallic diaphragm 15,18, dielectric layer 14,17 and adds up to 4 layers and the absorption- type multilayer film 13,16 formed.Also have, in table 2, metallic diaphragm 15,18 and dielectric layer 14,17 are set at same thickness respectively, are that the symmetrical membrane structure in center is a condition above-mentioned absorption- type multilayer film 13,16 is formed with substrate 12 still, can adjust each thickness arbitrarily.
, confirmed to constitute the wavelength dependency of transmissivity of the Ni film of above-mentioned metallic diaphragm 15,18 here, compared little with Cr film, Ta film and Nb film.Just, the amplitude of fluctuation of the transmissivity of Cr film, Ta film and the Nb film of wavelength in 0.400~0.800 μ m, shown in the curve map of Figure 11, be respectively 14.7%, 13.5% and 11.8%, but the amplitude of fluctuation of the transmissivity in the Ni film is 1.5% and very low.
But the reflection on absorption-type multilayer film nd filter surface becomes parasitic light, and brings bad influence to the image quality of digital camera etc.For this reason, for the absorption-type multilayer film nd filter surface also being had prevent the effect that reflects, above-mentioned absorption- type multilayer film 13,16 is made of multilayer film.
And, in absorption-type multilayer film nd filter of the present invention, by the thickness of the metallic diaphragm of Ni monomer or Ni class alloy composition Be Controlled well, and, wavelength dependency by the transmissivity of Ni class film in visibility region of Ni monomer or Ni class alloy composition is less, so absorption-type multilayer film that constitutes by metallic diaphragm and dielectric layer, the number of plies does not need overlapping in a large number, and the wavelength dependency of the spectral-transmission favtor in the visibility region is little, can obtain transmissivity decay stably for wavelength.
In addition, above-mentioned dielectric layer (wherein shown in the table 2) 14, the 17th is by SiO 2The film of forming preferably has alap refractive index materials (above-mentioned SiO by the metallic diaphragm of being made up of the Ni monomer relatively 15,18 2Al in addition 2O 3Perhaps SiO 2And Al 2O 3Potpourri) constitute.Also have, preferably control the thickness of dielectric layer 14,17 for making reflection preventing effect with absorption-type multilayer film.
And the metallic diaphragm of forming by the Ni monomer 15,18 and by SiO 2Each thickness of the dielectric layer of forming 14,17, preestablish into above-mentioned absorption- type multilayer film 13,16 and keep necessarily at the transmissivity and the reflectivity of visibility region (for example 0.400 μ m~0.800 μ m degree) with regulation, each thickness of preferred especially above-mentioned metallic diaphragm 15,18 is 2~15nm.In this absorption-type multilayer film nd filter, above-mentioned absorption-type multilayer film the 13, the 16th comprises the metallic diaphragm of being made up of the Ni monomer 15,18 and forms, therefore, even 4 layers of number of plies so seldom for example also have Optical transmission spectrum characteristic fully stably.
Secondly, above-mentioned absorption-type multilayer film of the present invention can form by vacuum vapour deposition, sputtering method, ion plating method.
For example, sputtering method is when the material that utilizes steam to force down forms film on substrate, or the effective film formation method when needing accurate control thickness, operates very easy and is widely used.Usual way is under about 10Pa or the Ar Pressure below it, with substrate as anode, the target that will become the pleurodiaphragmatic in terspace material is as negative electrode, between this, cause glow discharge and argon plasma takes place, and, make argon kation collision in the plasma on the target of negative electrode and make the particle of its sputtering target composition, and with this build-up of particles on substrate and film forming.
Above-mentioned sputtering method is to classify by the method for generation of argon plasma, will use the high-frequency sputtering that is called of high frequency (RF) plasma, will use the dc sputtering that is called of direct-current plasma.Also have, at the back side of target distributed magnet, and argon plasma is concentrated directly over target, the method for carrying out film forming even infrabar also improves the collision efficiency of argon ion is called as magnetron sputtering method.
And the metallic diaphragm in the absorption-type multilayer film of the present invention is by for example adopting the direct current magnetron sputtering process of the target of Ni metalloid (Ni monomer or Ni class alloy) to form in the environment of Ar.Also have, dielectric layer passes through for example at Ar and O 2Environment in adopt the high frequency magnetron sputtering method of Si or Al target to form.By utilizing high-frequency sputtering to carry out film forming above-mentioned dielectric layer, can prevent the paradoxical discharge that takes place in the reactive sputtering, thereby can carry out stable film forming.
But, because pure Ni material is the ferromagnetism body, therefore, when above-mentioned metallic diaphragm is utilized the direct current magnetron sputtering process film forming, be used for the magnetic force from the magnet at the back side that is configured in target of the plasma that is used between target and the substrate, blocked by the Ni target material and to the field weakening of surface leakage, thereby be difficult to make plasma to concentrate and carry out film forming efficiently.For avoiding this problem, the magnetic force of the magnet that is configured in back face of target the is strengthened negative electrode (high-intensity magnetic field negative electrode) of (400 Gausses or more than it), and will strengthen and carry out spatter film forming by the magnetic field of Ni target.
But, even adopted this method, the problem of as described below other also can take place when producing.That is, if the thickness of target reduces along with the continuous use of Ni target, then as mentioned above, at the leakage field in the part plasma space of the thickness attenuation of target grow thereupon.And when the leakage field grow in plasma space, flash-over characteristic (sparking voltage, discharge current etc.) changes and film forming speed also changes.When production, use in a word, the problem of the film forming speed generation degree variation of the Ni film along with the consumption of Ni target then can take place, thereby be difficult to the unified absorption-type multilayer film nd filter of production characteristic stably if same Ni target is long-time continuously.For avoiding this problem, as mentioned above, utilize the Ni class alloy material formation metallic diaphragm that the element of selecting from Ti, Al, V, W, Ta, Si a kind of or more than it is added among the Ni to get final product.
And in the present invention, for example, the preferred use contained the Ti element at the Ni of the scope of 5~15 weight % class alloy material.The lower limit of Ti amount is made as the reason of 5 weight %, be because by making it to contain 5 weight % or more than it and strong magnetic characteristic is extremely weakened, and also can carry out the magnetically controlled DC sputtering film forming even disposed the negative electrode of the low common magnet of magnetic field intensity.Also have, because the screening capacity in the magnetic field of target is low, so it is also little to depend on the variation of leakage field in the plasma space that target consumes, thus can keep certain film forming speed, thus can stably carry out film forming.Also having, the upper limit of Ti amount is made as the reason of 15.0 weight %, is owing to if contain the Ti that surpasses 15.0 weight %, then can form a large amount of intermetallicss, thereby may become the little material of wavelength dependency that is not transmissivity.Also have, the addition of Al element, V element, W element, Ta element, Si element also is to determine according to same reason, when adding these Al elements, V element, W element, Ta element, Si element etc., the adding proportion that preferably becomes adding proportion with the Al element and be 3~8 weight %, V element is that the adding proportion of 3~9 weight %, W element is that the adding proportion of 18~32 weight %, Ta element is that the adding proportion of 5~12 weight %, Si element is that the scope of 2~6 weight % is added and the Ni class alloy material that constitutes.
But, add element among the Ni to and be 2 kinds or its when above, it is low and make it not form a large amount of intermetallicss preferably to adjust to addition higher limit than each element.For example, when adding to Ti and two kinds of elements of Si among the Ni, if with respect to the Ti addition of 7.5 weight % and the addition of Si element when surpassing 5 weight %, (the Ti element is 5~15 weight % even the numerical value of these additions is at above-mentioned compositing range, the Si element is 2~6 weight %), the formation of intermetallics sometimes is also clearly.
Also have, except elements such as above-mentioned Ti, Al, V, W, Ta, Si, the interpolation element that the conducts such as Cu, Cr of can giving an example weaken the strong magnetic characteristic of Ni.But, the Cu element when adding element, is compared with elements such as above-mentioned Ti, Al, V, have shortcoming with respect to the poor adhesion of the Ni-Cu film of oxidation film.For example, relate in the TOHKEMY 2000-96167 communique of the target material in the electrode material that uses with ND optical filter different field, think and the ceramic substrate of oxide between cohesive problem is arranged, and proposed to utilize Ni-Ti class alloy to replace the target of Ni-Cu class alloy.Therefore, as interpolation element of the present invention, the Cu element is not the material that is fit to.Also have, the Cr element does not go wrong for above-mentioned cohesive, so but owing to bring bad influence undesirable to environment.
In addition, above-mentioned metallic diaphragm and SiO 2, Al 2O 3Perhaps the dielectric layer of these potpourri also can utilize dry type roll coating method and form on the substrate of film like.
And, for absorption-type multilayer film by adopting aforesaid structure, can provide in a kind of whole zone of the visibility region at 0.400 μ m~0.800 μ m reflectivity be 5% or below it and the amplitude of fluctuation of transmissivity 10% or it is with interior absorption-type multilayer film nd filter.
Also have, numerical value from be documented in table 1 and table 2 can be confirmed, absorption-type multilayer film nd filter of the present invention, compare with ND optical filter in the past, (its absorption-type multilayer film was that 270nm, reflection multilayer prevent that film from being 256nm to the total thickness separately on substrate two sides in the ND optical filter of example in the past, with respect to this, each one-sided absorption-type multilayer film of substrate is 154nm in the absorption-type multilayer film nd filter of the present invention) be thinned to approximately half degree, and, also very outstanding because of only using 2 kinds of membrane material productivitys.
Also have, in absorption-type multilayer film nd filter of the present invention, improve productivity in order to simplify membrance casting condition, as shown in table 2, will be by SiO 2The dielectric layer of forming is designed to the two sides and all has all identical thickness (70nm), and all to have whole identical thickness (7nm) also passable and also be designed to the two sides by the metallic diaphragm that the Ni monomer is formed.And, when forming absorption-type multilayer film on the substrate two sides, because membrane stress is crooked, be fixed on framework and to carry out film forming by each single face also passable, but film forming is even more ideal simultaneously on the two sides for not making very thin substrate.
By such structure, the radius-of-curvature that can realize making the bending of substrate is 500mm or more than it.If the radius-of-curvature of the bending of substrate is less than 500mm, then in absorption-type multilayer film nd filter cut-out, bonding, deposited such manufacturing procedure, utilize the processing of machine to become difficult, further, also may cross absorption-type multilayer film nd filter and cause figure to be distorted owing to transmission, this be also unsatisfactory.
And, as shown in Figure 6 absorption-type multilayer film nd filter of the present invention is placed on platform (with reference to the Reference numeral 4 of Fig. 1) when going up, substrate does not almost bend, and the gap of core only is 0.2mm or its following such degree that can not accurately measure.
On the other hand, (wherein the absorption-type multilayer film 6 of absorption-type multilayer film nd filter is positioned at upside when being placed on the absorption-type multilayer film nd filter of as shown in Figure 2 example in the past on the platform, and reflection multilayer prevents that film 7 is positioned at downside), substrate has bending, observes the gap of about 2mm at core.And substrate size is when being Φ 60mm, if in the gap that 0.9mm takes place central part, then Wan Qu radius-of-curvature is 500mm.
In addition, about the dielectric layer of absorption-type multilayer film nd filter of the present invention and the thickness of metallic diaphragm, preferably set: by SiO 2, Al 2O 3Perhaps the total thickness of the one-sided dielectric layer of the substrate formed of these potpourris be 100nm or its above, be 30nm or below it by the total thickness of the one-sided metallic diaphragm of the substrate of Ni or Ni class alloy composition.If this be since the total thickness of the one-sided dielectric layer of substrate less than 100nm, then may make absorption-type multilayer film be difficult to have the function that reflection prevents, and, if the total thickness thickening of the metallic diaphragm that substrate is one-sided surpasses 30nm, then can predict if will be with respect to the metallic diaphragm thickening of dielectric layer softness, then membrane stress can relax, but may spectral-transmission favtor extremely reduce.
