Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A reflection-reducing layer system is disclosed. In an embodiment, the system includes a refractive index gradient layer including an inorganic material and an organic material in a spatially varying composition, wherein the refractive index gradient layer has a refractive index which decreases in a growth direction and an organic layer arranged above the refractive index gradient layer, the organic layer having a surface including a nanostructure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A reflection-reducing layer system comprising: a refractive index gradient layer comprising an inorganic material and an organic material in a spatially varying composition, wherein the refractive index gradient layer has a refractive index which decreases in a growth direction; and an organic layer arranged above the refractive index gradient layer, the organic layer having a surface comprising a nanostructure. 2. The reflection-reducing layer system according to claim 1 , wherein the nanostructure has a plurality of structure elements whose heights are on average between 80 nm and 130 nm and whose spacings are on average less than 100 nm. 3. The reflection-reducing layer system according to claim 1 , wherein the refractive index of the refractive index gradient layer at an interface with a substrate of the reflection-reducing layer system is matched to a refractive index of the substrate. 4. The reflection-reducing layer system according to claim 1 , wherein a total thickness of the reflection-reducing layer system is between 250 nm and 450 nm. 5. The reflection-reducing layer system according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic material of the refractive index gradient layer has a refractive index n1 where 1.37≤n1≤1.46, and wherein the organic material of the refractive index gradient layer has a refractive index n2>n1 where 1.6≤n2≤1.9. 6. The reflection-reducing layer system according to claim 1 , wherein the organic material is a UV-absorbing material. 7. The reflection-reducing layer system according to claim 1 , wherein the organic layer has at least regionally an effective refractive index of between 1.05 and 1.38. 8. The reflection-reducing layer system according to claim 1 , further comprising an inorganic intermediate layer arranged between the organic layer and the refractive index gradient layer. 9. The reflection-reducing layer system according to claim 1 , further comprising a protective layer disposed on the nanostructure, wherein the protective layer has a thickness of between 10 nm and 50 nm. 10. The reflection-reducing layer system according to claim 1 , wherein the organic layer comprises melamine.
