提出一种集成在微桥结构中的二维亚波长周期钛(Ti)金属圆盘阵列结构, 以增强太赫兹微测辐射热计的吸收率. 基于严格耦合波分析方法, 建立吸收结构模型, 研究了不同结构的Ti圆盘阵列及其在微桥阵列结构中的太赫兹波吸收特性. 周期Ti圆盘阵列结构降低了金属的表面等离子体频率, 在太赫兹波段激发伪表面等离子体激元并实现共振增强吸收. 共振吸收频率由周期、直径等Ti圆盘阵列的结构参数决定, 圆盘厚度则对太赫兹波吸收率有重要影响, 微桥结构中的谐振腔结构可降低共振频率并增强耦合效率. 设计的微桥探测结构以较小的Ti圆盘阵列周期(37 μm)实现突破衍射极限的太赫兹波约束, 在3.5 THz (波长85.7 μm)实现接近90%的太赫兹波吸收率, 满足太赫兹微测辐射热计小尺寸、高吸收及工艺兼容的要求.In this paper, a two-dimensional subwavelength periodic titanium (Ti) disk array integrated in micro-bridge structure is proposed to enhance the absorption of terahertz (THz) microbolometer. Based on the rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) method, THz absorption characteristics of Ti disk arrays with different structure parameters in micro-bridge structure arrays are studied. Periodic disk array structure reduces the surface plasmon frequency of Ti, excites the spoof surface plasmons in the THz band and leads to resonance enhanced absorption. The resonance absorption frequency is determined by the structural parameters of Ti disk array including period and diameter while the absorption rate of THz wave is greatly affected by the thickness of Ti disks. The resonant cavity in micro-bridge structure can reduce the resonance frequency and enhance the coupling efficiency. The micro-bridge structure designed in this paper breaks the diffraction limit and traps the THz wave with a small period (37 μm). An absorption of nearly 90% is achieved at 3.5 THz. The structure meets the requirements of small size, high absorption and good process compatibility of the THz microbolometer.
