摘要:
A silicon substrate is prepared by furnishing a silicon substrate (10) having a step (11) of at least 5 &mgr;m high on one surface, forming by high pressure heat oxidation an oxide film (12) which is thinner than the step, and removing the oxide film on the higher surface region until the silicon surface is exposed in the higher surface region while leaving the oxide film on the lower surface region. Because of excellent electrical properties, minimized warpage, a substantially constant oxygen concentration, and a definitely ascertainable oxide-silicon boundary, the silicon substrate is suitable for use in optical waveguide devices.
摘要:
An optical waveguide substrate is prepared by forming grooves in a silicon substrate in accordance with the pattern of a desired waveguide device, thermally oxidizing the silicon substrate to form a peripheral quartz layer surrounding the grooves, burying in the grooves a doped quartz glass layer having a higher refractive index, abrading the surface of the resulting structure to be flat, and forming on the flat surface a glass layer having a lower refractive index. An optical waveguide substrate featuring no distortion of the core pattern, little warp, and a low loss can be produced in a simple manner.

摘要:
A method of making a high quality optical waveguide substrate is provided, in which the surface of a silicon substrate is oxidized through relatively large thickness and no foreign matter particles are adhered on the surface thereof. The silicon substrate to form a quartz film for the optical waveguide is mounted on a carbon contained ceramics sample base and is inserted into a carbon contained ceramics furnace core tube of which its external circumference is arranged in a heating furnace. When the inside of the furnace core tube is heated to 200 to 600° C. by the heating furnace, an oxidant gas for the silicon substrate surface is introduced, then by further heating up to 1200 to 1350° C., the silicon surface is thus oxidized.

A mask having a center hole for passing through a center fiber, which is one of multiple fibers, and multiple surrounding holes for passing through surrounding fibers, which are the remainder of the multiple fibers, and a stress adjusting unit for holding stresses generated in the center fiber and surrounding fibers to a desired constant value, respectively, are installed. The surrounding fibers are rotated around the center fiber by rotating the mask. The center fiber and the surrounding fibers that have been twisted around the center fiber are heated with a heating apparatus and drawn. The center fiber and the surrounding fibers are fixed using a clamp installed between the stress adjusting unit and the heating apparatus.
