Description

本発明はカメラレンズ等の表面に設けられる反射防止膜の膜構成に関するものであって、特にはスパッタ法を用いて形成するカラーバランス調整用の反射防止膜に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a film configuration of an antireflection film provided on the surface of a camera lens or the like, and more particularly to an antireflection film for color balance adjustment formed using a sputtering method.

従来、カメラレンズ等の硝材の表面に設けられる反射防止膜としては、MgF2単層膜、空気側の最終層にMgF2膜を設けた多層反射防止膜がよく知られている。多層反射防止膜は、可視域で単層膜よりも反射防止性能に優れ、カメラの鏡筒内のレンズ面に多用されるが、全てのレンズ面に多層反射防止膜を設けるとレンズ全体の透過光のカラーバランス(色味)が偏ってしまい、そのためにカラーバランス調整用としてMgF2単層膜が用いられる。又、MgF2単層膜は曲率の強いレンズ形状で発生する膜厚ムラに依存する反射光の色味の変化が目立たないという利点も有する。従って、一方の片面が多層反射防止膜、他の片面がMgF2単層膜を有するレンズが必要となっている。   Conventionally, as an antireflection film provided on the surface of a glass material such as a camera lens, a MgF2 single layer film and a multilayer antireflection film in which an MgF2 film is provided on the air-side final layer are well known. Multi-layer anti-reflection coatings have better anti-reflection performance in the visible range than single-layer coatings, and are often used for lens surfaces in camera barrels. The color balance (color) of light is biased, and therefore, an MgF 2 single layer film is used for color balance adjustment. In addition, the MgF2 single layer film has an advantage that the change in the color of the reflected light depending on the film thickness unevenness generated in the lens shape having a strong curvature is inconspicuous. Therefore, a lens having a multilayer antireflection film on one side and a MgF2 single layer film on the other side is required.

通常、前記のレンズへの反射防止膜の加工には、多層反射防止膜の最終層がMgF2膜であるため、多層反射防止膜が加工できる蒸着装置(アシストも含む)が使用される。しかしながら、多層反射防止膜の加工に限っては、スパッタ法でも行われており、例えば特許文献1、特許文献2が上げられる。共に、高屈折率膜と低屈折率膜で構成される5層、又は6層からなる多層反射防止膜である。スパッタ法の場合、良質なMgF2膜を蒸着法と同等のコストで得るのは困難なため、多層反射防止膜の最終層はSiO2膜で構成されている。
特公平7−111482号公報 特許第2566634号公報
Usually, in the processing of the antireflection film on the lens, since the final layer of the multilayer antireflection film is an MgF2 film, a vapor deposition apparatus (including an assist) that can process the multilayer antireflection film is used. However, only the processing of the multilayer antireflection film is performed by a sputtering method. For example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 are listed. Both are multi-layer antireflection films composed of five or six layers composed of a high refractive index film and a low refractive index film. In the case of the sputtering method, it is difficult to obtain a good quality MgF2 film at the same cost as the vapor deposition method, and therefore the final layer of the multilayer antireflection film is composed of a SiO2 film.
Japanese Patent Publication No.7-111482 Japanese Patent No. 2656634

しかしながら、前記従来例では、レンズの一方の片面の多層反射防止膜をスパッタ法を用いて加工する場合、他の片面のMgF2単層膜を加工するためには、蒸着法を用いねばならなく、片面ごとに異なる装置を用いるため、コスト上不利という問題点が有った。   However, in the conventional example, when processing the multilayer antireflection film on one side of the lens by using the sputtering method, in order to process the MgF2 single layer film on the other side, the vapor deposition method must be used. Since different devices are used for each side, there is a problem of cost disadvantage.

又他の片面のMgF2単層膜を加工するためにスパッタ法を用いるとすると、良質なMgF2膜を得るにはフッ素ガス雰囲気中でのスパッタが必要となり、安定性、排ガス処理等歩留まり、コスト上不利という問題点が有った。   If sputtering is used to process another single-sided MgF2 single-layer film, sputtering in a fluorine gas atmosphere is required to obtain a good-quality MgF2 film, resulting in stability, exhaust gas treatment yield, and cost. There was a disadvantage.

又他の片面のMgF2単層膜に換えてスパッタ法を適用できるSiO2単層膜を用いた場合、MgF2膜よりも屈折率が高いため、反射防止効果、カラーバランス調整用としては不十分であるという問題点が有った。   In addition, when a SiO2 single layer film that can be applied by sputtering instead of the other single-sided MgF2 single layer film is used, the refractive index is higher than that of the MgF2 film. There was a problem.

本発明の目的は、一方の片面が多層反射防止膜特性、他の片面がMgF2の単層膜特性を必要とするレンズを加工する場合、スパッタ法のみを用いて両面加工が可能な、MgF2の単層膜特性を有する多層反射防止膜を提供することにある。   It is an object of the present invention to process a lens that requires a multilayer antireflection film characteristic on one side and a single-layer film characteristic of MgF2 on the other side. An object of the present invention is to provide a multilayer antireflection film having single layer film characteristics.

反応性DCスパッタ法を用いて、各硝子基板BSL7(n=1.52)、BSM15(n=1.62)、BaSF08(n=1.72)、TIH6(n=1.81)上にTiO2(n=2.53)とSiO2(n=1.47)の交互層からなる6層反射防止膜を形成した。目標特性は、λ0=500nmとした時、n*d=125nmのMgF2(n=1.38)単層で得られる特性(マゼンタ)である。ターゲット材としては、金属Ti、単結晶Siを用いた。表1に膜構成、図1に入射角0度の時の膜特性を示す。図1の縦軸は反射率(%)、横軸は波長(nm)を示す。表1の構成において、同一λ0の時、単層MgF2膜との反射率の差は0.4%以下であった。   Using reactive DC sputtering, TiO2 on each glass substrate BSL7 (n = 1.52), BSM15 (n = 1.62), BaSF08 (n = 1.72), TIH6 (n = 1.81).

The target characteristic is a characteristic (magenta) obtained with an MgF2 (n = 1.38) single layer of n * d = 125 nm when λ0 = 500 nm. As the target material, metal Ti and single crystal Si were used. Table 1 shows the film configuration, and FIG. 1 shows the film characteristics when the incident angle is 0 degree. In FIG. 1, the vertical axis represents reflectance (%), and the horizontal axis represents wavelength (nm).

真空上蒸着法により、各硝子基板BSL7(n=1.52)、BSM15(n=1.62)、BaSF08(n=1.72)、TIH6(n=1.81)上にMgF2(n=1.38)単層からなる反射防止膜を形成した。目標特性は、λ0=500nmとした時、n*d=125nmの単層で得られる特性(マゼンタ)である。表11に膜構成、図11に膜特性を示す。蒸着単層膜は、カラーバランス調整用膜としては作成も簡便であり、成膜時間も短くコスト的にも有利であるが、クモリ易い硝子に対して防止効果に劣る欠点がある。
[Conventional example 1]
MgF2 (n = n = 1.81) on each glass substrate BSL7 (n = 1.52), BSM15 (n = 1.62), BaSF08 (n = 1.72), TIH6 (n = 1.81) by vacuum evaporation. 1.38) An antireflection film consisting of a single layer was formed. The target characteristic is a characteristic (magenta) obtained with a single layer of n * d = 125 nm when λ0 = 500 nm. Table 11 shows the film configuration, and FIG. 11 shows the film characteristics. The vapor deposition single layer film is easy to produce as a color balance adjustment film, and the film formation time is short and advantageous in terms of cost.
