摘要
The combination of integrated optics and micromechanics on silicon offers new integration potentials for sensor applications. Silicon oxinitride (SiON) optical strip waveguides are fabricated by low-temperature (570 K) PECVD and RIE processes on microbridges, cantilevers and resonators based on field oxide. The single-mode strip waveguides with a refractive index n = 1.52 of the SiON layer show 0.5 dB/cm attenuation at 0.633-mu-m wavelength. The micromechanical elements are delineated by anisotropic KOH etching. They are built up with SiO2-SiON-SiO2 triple layers and exhibit low internal stress.
