摘要
Deep dry etching of silica is used for patterning of waveguides for optoelectronic applications. We report on the use of Electron Cyclotron Resonance/Reactive Ton Etching (ECR/RIE) process for deep reactive ion etching of silica glass films using different fluorocarbons as etch gases. 1 x 8 splitter has been used as test structure for the optimization of the etch process. The optimized process parameters like RF/Microwave power, pressure and gas composition etc. for the above have been presented.
