Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method for fabricating an anti-reflective layer on a quartz surface by using a metal-induced self-masking etching technique, comprising: performing reactive ion etching to a metal material and a quartz substrate by using a mixed gas containing a fluorine-based gas, wherein metal atoms and/or ions of the metal material are sputtered to a surface of the quartz substrate, to form a non-volatile metal fluoride on the surface of the quartz substrate; forming a micromask by a product of etching generated by reactive ion etching gathering around the non-volatile metal fluoride; and etching the micromask and the quartz substrate simultaneously, to form an anti-reflective layer having a sub-wavelength structure.
