Innovation Pilot | Machinery & SystemAs phones, computers, and other electronics get smaller, the built-in optics are difficult to shrink because high-spec microscopic lenses are hard tomake with traditional glass-cutting or plastic-molding techniques. Moreover, it often requires stacking multiple traditional lenses to properly focus light. A metalens is composed of millions or even tens of millions of nanopillar arrays which are etched into a thin dielectric layer with a thickness less than one-fiftieth of the diameter of a human hair. These nanopillars canarbitrarily control the physical properties of light such as amplitude, phase, absorption, and reflection, which cannot be achieved by traditional refractive lenses. Because the metalens is so thin, multiple metalenses can bestacked together without a significant increase in size, making miniaturized optical systems possible. In addition to reducing size, metalenses couldultimately reduce the cost of optical components in electronic products, because metalenses can be fabricated using materials, processes, and equipment in today’s semiconductor industry, allowing the integration of optical and electronic components into tiny CMOS IC chips. However, making metalenses is still very costly at present, because it is difficult to precisely manufacture tens of millions of nanometer-scale elements on millimeter-scale IC chips, thus limiting the application and deployment of metalenses and metasurfaces.This work presents large-area near-infrared and visible metalenses and metasurface holograms produced with CMOS-compatible processes. Through low-cost photolithography and resolution enhancement technology, we can precisely control the sizes and shapes of nanopillars in the metalensto achieve diffraction-limited focusing with high efficiency. The present work will enable the integration of metalens and metasurfaces into CMOS image, distance, and depth sensors, allowing versatile optoelectronic components and systems in a miniature form.
