Abstract:
A production method for a Fabry-Perot interference filter, the production method comprising a formation step, a cutting step that is after the formation step, and a removal step that is between the formation step and the cutting step or after the cutting step. The formation step is for: forming, on a first main surface of a wafer, a first mirror layer that has a plurality of first mirror parts, a sacrificial layer that has a plurality of removal parts, and a second mirror layer that has a plurality of second mirror parts; and forming a first thinned region at which at least one of the first mirror layer, the sacrificial layer, and the second mirror layer has been partially thinned along each of a plurality of lines. The cutting step is for: forming a reformed region inside the wafer along each of the plurality of lines by irradiation with laser light; and cutting the wafer along the plurality of lines into a plurality of substrates. The removal step is for removing the removal parts from the sacrificial layer by etching.
Abstract:
A Fabry-Perot interference filter 10A includes a fixed mirror 31 and a movable mirror 41 disposed opposite to the fixed mirror 31 via a gap S, distance between the fixed mirror 31 and the movable 41 in a light transmission region 11 being adjusted by electrostatic force. A plurality of first annular grooves 44 surrounding the light transmission region 11 and a plurality of first through-holes 45 opening to the gap S side and the opposite side are formed at a surrounding portion 41 a surrounding the light transmission region 11 in the movable mirror 41.
Abstract:
A SERS element 2 comprises a substrate 21 having a front face 21 a; a fine structure part 24 formed on the front face 21a and having a plurality of pillars 27; and a conductor layer 23 formed on the fine structure part 24 and constituting an optical function part 20 for generating surface-enhanced Raman scattering. The conductor layer 23 has a base part 28 formed along the front face 21 a and a plurality of protrusions 29 protruding from the base part 28 at respective positions corresponding to the pillars 27. The base part 28 has a thickness greater than the height of the pillars 27.
Abstract:
A spectral sensor 1 includes a wiring substrate 2 which has a principal surface; a light detector 3 which is disposed on the principal surface 2A of the wiring substrate 2 and is electrically connected to the wiring substrate 2; spacer 4 which is disposed around the light detector 3, on the principal surface 2A of the wiring substrate 2; and a Fabry-Perot interference filter 10 which has a light transmission region 11 and is disposed on the principal surface 2A of the wiring substrate 2 with the spacer 4 therebetween. The spacer 4 support the Fabry-Perot interference filter 10 in a surrounding region R1 of the light transmission region 11 and the spacer 4 has opening A1 communicating with an inner side of the surrounding region R1 and an outer side of the surrounding region R1, when viewed from a light transmission direction in the light transmission region 11.
