| Research Abstract |
1. transparent, thick films have been successfully prepared using benzyltriethoxysilane-derived particles in the electrophoretic sol-gel deposition and the successive heat treatment. In addition, photo-polymerizable inorganic-organic hybrid films and the inorganic-organic hybrid films with high refractive indexes have been synthesized for their application to photolithographic and embossing micro-patterning, respectively.
2. The thickness of the methylsilsequioxane-phenylsilsesquioxane films which can be formed on the substrates without cracking was maximized at around the mole ratio of methy group : phenyl group=1 : 1. The optimum film hardness and the adequate timing for emboss micro-patterning were clarified. The refractive index of the phenylsilsesquioxane and benzylsilsesquioxane films increased with increasing the amount of titania added.
3. Optical waveguides have been photolithographically fabricated on glass substrates using vinyltrimethoxysilane-derived inorganic-organic hybrid films. Micro-lens arrays have been newly formed on hydrophobic-hydrophilic patterned substrates based on the difference in the surface free energy and fuluidity of the phenylsilsesquioxane and benzylsilsesquioxane at temperatures higher than their glass transition temperatures.
4. The shapes of the fabricated optical waveguides and micro-lens arrays were evaluated using SEM, AFM and 3D-surface profilometer. Fabricated micro-lens arrays showed good focusing properties.
