Abstract

The thermal spectral emission properties of three types of periodic grating structure were investigated: (1) a lightly doped (intrinsic-like) silicon grating, (2) a degenerate (metallic-like) silicon grating, and (3) silicon gratings coated with nickel metal. The structural dimensions of all samples were the same, with feature sizes comparable to the measurement wavelengths (2.5-25μm). The measurement temperatures for all samples were in the range 27-740°C. In general, it was found that the spectral emission of the metallic-like gratings depended on the parameters of the grating material and on the structural dimensions. A spectral oscillation in the wavelength range comparable to the structural dimension was observed.
