However, the sideband effect on both sides of the dominant wavelength of this method can seriously affect our filtering effect. Therefore, we propose a surface acoustic resonance filter (Surface piasm〇ns Res〇nance) generated by the interface between the metal and the dielectric material, and a reflective surface plasma resonance filter designed according to this effect. The above problems can be effectively solved. [Invention] The present invention aims to provide a reflective surface-plasma resonator which can be fabricated by using a half-time technique for the reflective surface electric material vibrating ship (4) (4) (4). At the same time, the surface plasma common money wave device is also in line with the products of the photoelectric secret or micro-optical electromechanical system, and has good chopping effect. Please refer to "1A, 1B", which is a schematic diagram of a reflective surface electro-polymer resonance filter 1. As shown in the figure, the main structure of the surface resonance chopper 1 includes: - metalgrating 1 3; dielectric plate 1 2 and - metal plate 丨i, etc.; wherein the dielectric The flat plate 1 2 is a planar structure having a rotation; and the metal grating 13 is disposed on the dielectric plate 2 with an extremely thin thickness as a lattice such that the metal grating 3 exists. The operation of the dielectric plate 12 on the surface plasma resonance effect of the incident light (4) Plasmons Resonance is not affected. s month refers to "2A, 2B"" is a schematic diagram of the operation of a reflective surface electro-discharge resonant chopper 1. When the human light 2 i is irradiated onto the metal grating 13 , the grating 13 can function as a splitting light, and the incident light 21 is coupled into the dielectric plate 12 when coupled to the dielectric. When a partial beam of the incident light 21 inside the panel 12 and a mode in which the structure of the dielectric panel 2 is allowed to reach a phase matching state (phase_matehing), a resonance effect is generated. Therefore, it is possible to select a specific resonant wavelength to be refracted in the dielectric plate i 2 to become a transverse transmission wave 2 2 ; on the other hand, the incident light 2 丄 is not a resonant wavelength portion of the beam, The metal screen effect is reflected on the metal surface 200105283 and leaves away. 'The reflected beam is the filtered reflected light (Reflection) 2 3 °. As can be seen from the above, the structure of the surface plasma resonance filter is relatively simple, and the fabrication is not If the thin film filter is complicated, it only needs a few layers of structure to be completed (only the metal lining structure of the surface can be changed to achieve the effect of chopping - can be completed in a large amount and quickly by using the over-mold technology), and in actual operation There is also a very good (four) wave, the effect of the angle and the sensitivity of the angle of the human shot is 'should be strong. It can be seen from the above that the surface electro-destructive resonant chopper is a way of integrating the thin film structure or the multi-layer stacking to strengthen the resonant wire of the chopping wave. Further, such a surface electro-convergence resonant stitching device can be It is used to integrate into a variety of passive or aetive look-ups to form a variety of microsystem wafers to be applied. It can be designed as an adjustable slurry resonance filter. . [Embodiment] The present invention is a reflective surface money resonator, the method comprising the steps of: providing a substrate; forming a -th-thin layer on the substrate; and - A two-film is formed on the top surface of the second film. The grating structure is on the one side of the second film. The substrate may be a single (four) substrate of any color direction. The substrate may also be a polishing material of any material. According to the above concept, the first film may be formed by using a low-pressure chemical (four) mesh method or a thickness of a metal film. On the surface of the surface, a special material is deposited. According to the above concept, the current chemical vapor phase method can utilize a dielectric material such as a low oxygen cut or an i cut in the second and second. The two steps of the specific thickness are defined by the following mask: _-; === Di Li " - Light is transferred to the first light) 1 and the pattern of the first mask of the winter - photoresist pattern; according to: = map f layer defined - the top surface is made of a thickness of a metal material growth. The second film of the photoresist layer; the first photoresist # '广谷剂cle clear the first - Get the metal light and build it up. Transferring to the second film According to the above concept, the first light-to-electron beam lithography process may be made; == the shirt process method to complete the transfer of the figure (4). 4 light k pressure ^ Kang on the concept, in which the growth of the metal material, can be used a low thickness two: method or can in the first - first resistance 'deposited - specific species ^ ^ "3rd heart, 3 〇:, 31) Fig., is a total of the invention; in the embodiment, a substrate is prepared, and in the embodiment, the double-sided polished single crystal substrate 3 in the direction of -1GG lattice is used. 〇 as a representative 'as shown in the third figure 』, the thickness of the single crystal slab substrate 3 200 200905283 can be about 500 microns ' and need to pass an RCA standard $ cleaning step for the single crystal slab substrate 3 Q The surface is cleaned to (4) impurities or dust on the surface thereof; and then subjected to an E-Gun Thermal Deposition on a first surface 3 of the single crystal germanium substrate 3 &" The first film 3 1 is hoarded, and in this embodiment we use a silver 'Ag' film substrate to represent the first film 3' and the silver film we are to deposit. It is also a kind of material with high reflectivity, and in this case, the thickness of the first film can be about 1 micro. . Next, a plasma enhanced chemical Vapor Deposition (abbreviated as pEVCD) is deposited on the second surface 31 of the first film 31 to form a second film 3 2 In this embodiment, we use a silicon oxide (Si 2 ) film substrate of a dielectric material to represent the second film 3 2 to be deposited. According to the above, 'we then use spin coating (Spin's method to apply the _th photoresist layer 3 3 on the second film 3 2, and then, it can be utilized - the first - reticle 3 3Q - the process of exposure and development of the photoresist layer 3' can thus transfer the pattern of the first photomask 3 3 Q to the stomach first photoresist layer 3 3 to complete the transfer of the pattern (pattem plus (4), and =* is defined on the violation of the first-photoresist layer 3 3 - the first photoresist pattern 3 (such as "3B"), and in this example the first photoresist pattern 3 3 can be a The shaped grating 'make the first photoresist layer 3 3 曝光 after exposure and development to have an appearance as shown in FIG. 3B (this figure shows the structure in the form of a cross section of 200105283). A photoresist pattern is grown on the top surface 33 of the second film by using an electron blast plating deposition method to deposit a certain degree of metal material. In this embodiment, we use a metal material and (Silver) 'Ag) is a film substrate. The metal film 35 is deposited to a thickness of about 1 μm; the first photoresist layer is removed by an ACE solvent; The sheet pattern can be transferred to the second film to obtain a metal grating 35 structure as shown in Fig. 3D. Therefore, as can be seen from the above description, we successfully solved the problems mentioned in the prior art.
