Abstract
Nanogrooves with high aspect ratios possess small size effects and high-precision optical control capabilities, as well as high specific surface area and catalytic performance, demonstrating significant application value in the fields of optics, semiconductor processes, and biosensing. However, existing manufacturing methods face issues such as complexity, high costs, low efficiency, and low precision, especially in the difficulty of fabricating nanogrooves with high resolution on the nanoscale. This study proposes a method based on focused ion beam technology and a layer-by-layer etching process, successfully preparing V-shaped and rectangular nanogrooves on a silicon dioxide substrate. Combining with cellular automaton algorithm, the ion sputtering flux and redeposition model was simulated. By converting three-dimensional grooves to discrete rectangular slices through a continuous etching process and utilizing the sputtering and redeposition effects of gallium ion beams, high-aspect-ratio V-shaped grooves with up to 9.6:1 and rectangular grooves with nearly vertical sidewalls were achieved. In addition, the morphology and composition of the V-shaped groove sidewall were analyzed in detail using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and tomography techniques. The influence of the etching process parameters (ion current, dwell time, scan times, and pixel overlap ratio) on groove size was analyzed, and the optimized process parameters were obtained.

OPTICS EXPRESS 2018; 26:11608-11619. [PMID: 29716079 DOI: 10.1364/oe.26.011608] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2018] [Accepted: 04/12/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
This paper presents a new localized vibration-assisted magnetic abrasive polishing (VAMAP) method using loose abrasives for V-groove and Fresnel optics finishing. The purpose is to improve the surface quality while maintaining the form of the microfeatures. This method allows abrasives to access the corners of the microfeatures and remove materials locally and uniformly by effectively controlling the magnetic field and vibration which overcomes the limitations of previous research. By using loose abrasives, the method achieved nanometer level surface roughness and damage-free surface while maintaining the form of the microfeatures. The results show that the surface roughness was reduced to about 7 nm Ra from the initial value of over 10 nm Ra while the microfeatures of V-groove and Fresnel optics were well maintained. At the same time, the surface defects including voids, scratches as well as tool marks were clearly removed.

Guo J, Wang H, Goh MH, Liu K. Investigation on Surface Integrity of Rapidly Solidified Aluminum RSA 905 by Magnetic Field-Assisted Finishing. MICROMACHINES 2018; 9:mi9040146. [PMID: 30424080 PMCID: PMC6187353 DOI: 10.3390/mi9040146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2018] [Revised: 03/20/2018] [Accepted: 03/20/2018] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
RSA 905, a rapidly solidified aluminum alloy, has been widely utilized in optical, automotive, and aerospace industries owing to its superior mechanical properties such as hardness and strength compared to conventional aluminum alloys. However, the surface finishing of RSA 905 to achieve submicron surface roughness is quite challenging and was rarely addressed. This paper presents an experimental and analytical study on magnetic field-assisted finishing (MFAF) of RSA 905 through a systematic investigation on surface integrity in relation to the MFAF process parameters. The effect of abrasive and polishing speed conditions on material removal and surface roughness was quantitatively investigated. The surface and subsurface quality were evaluated by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations, residual stress measurement, surface microhardness and tribology test. The results show that relatively high material removal and low surface roughness were obtained under conditions using the SiC abrasive with a grit size of 12 µm at polishing speed of 400 rpm or using the Al2O3 abrasive with a grit size of 5 µm at polishing speed of 800 rpm. Heat melt layer caused by wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) during the sample preparation was removed by MFAF without inducing new subsurface damage. The MFAF process also helps release the surface residual stress and improve the tribological performance although the surface microhardness was slightly reduced.
