摘要
太赫兹频段真空电子器件的尺寸很小,其加工精度和表面质量要求很高,需要采用微加工技术及其一些特殊的加工工艺。本文主要介绍了几种常用于制作太赫兹真空电子器件的微加工方法,主要讨论了微机械加工、微细电火花加工、LIG-A/UV-LIGA和DRIE等加工技术的特点及适用范围。为了提高器件的表面质量,讨论了清洗、净化及表面化学抛光技术等后处理技术。此外,太赫兹器件的设计结构特征也会限制微加工技术的选择,由此文中分析了几种常见太赫兹真空器件的特点及其可采用的加工方法和工艺。
The latest development in the micro-fabrication and post-processing technologies of the terahertz vacuum electronic device(TVEDs) was tentatively reviewed in a thought provoking way.The discussions with specific examples focused on the strengths and weaknesses and applications of a variety of the widely used,state-of-the-art micro-fabrication methods and tools,such as the micromachining,micro-electric discharge machining(μEDM),lithographie galanoformung,abformung(LIGA)/ultraviolet(UV)-LIGA,and deep reactive ion etching.In addition,the impacts of the major post-processing technologies,including rinsing,cleaning,and chemical polishing of surfaces,on the surface properties of the TVEDs,was also briefly discussed.
