POLYMER-INORGANIC MULTILAYER DIELECTRIC FILM

摘要

A multilayer dielectric film structure includes a pair or plurality of materials at least one being a polymer and the other of high index of refraction inorganic material (compared to the polymer) at the wavelengths of interest. The structure is fabricated by a combination of layering techniques, one of which is used to create a layer of the polymer, the other being used to deposit the inorganic component. The assembly process yields a structure of alternating polymer and inorganic layers of high index of refraction (compared to air). The structure preferably will reflect light within a certain frequency range of any polarization and at a continuum of angles of incidence ranging from normal to oblique. In a particular embodiment of the invention, the structure includes alternating layers of a polymer, e.g., polystyrene and Tellurium.
