The obtaining of regular metal and dielectric microstructures based on irradiation-modified polymer films

Abstract

Based on regular porous polymeric membranes, the synthesis ofmetal and dielectric spearhead structures with given morphologicalcharacteristics was carried out. Copper structures with the ~1 μm height and dielectric spearhead microstructures made from iodicacid with the 12 μm height and 1 μm diameter were obtained. Thepossibility is discussed of using such optical elements to solve theproblems of increasing the efficiency of IR radiation detection, signalamplification and conversion to visible and near-infrared ranges. Keywords: regular membranes, spearhead structures, copper, iodic acid, radiation transformations.\
