    摘要: A method of fabricating a dielectric film comprising atoms of Si, C, O and H (hereinafter SiCOH) that has improved insulating properties as compared with prior art dielectric films, including prior art SiCOH dielectric films that are not subjected to the inventive deep ultra-violet (DUV) is disclosed. The improved properties include reduced current leakage which is achieved without adversely affecting (increasing) the dielectric constant of the SiCOH dielectric film. In accordance with the present invention, a SiCOH dielectric film exhibiting reduced current leakage and improved reliability is obtained by subjecting an as deposited SiCOH dielectric film to a DUV laser anneal. The DUV laser anneal step of the present invention likely removes the weakly bonded C from the film, thus improving leakage current.

    摘要: An X-ray mask pellicle is capable of protecting the X-ray mask from contaminants and the wafer from contact with the X-ray absorber material of the mask. The X-ray mask pellicle is sufficiently thin to allow X-ray exposure at the required mask to wafer gaps yet is sufficiently durable, replaceable, tough and X-ray resistant to be used in X-ray lithography. A thin (organic or inorganic) X-ray mask pellicle to be placed covering the X-ray mask pattern area is fabricated as a thin film and attached to a support ring. A selected area of the pellicle film, tailored to cover the absorber pattern in the X-ray mask, is etched to decrease its thickness to below 2 .mu.m. If the thin film of the pellicle is not itself conductive, a thin conductive film may be coated on both sides. In an alternative embodiment, the separation between the pellicle and the X-ray mask can be achieved by forming the mask with a stepped profile.

    摘要: A photonic integrated circuit apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a photonic chip and a lens array coupling element. The photonic chip includes a waveguide at a side edge surface of the photonic chip. The lens array coupling element is mounted on a top surface of the photonic chip and on the side edge surface. The coupling element includes a lens array that is configured to modify spot sizes of light traversing to or from the waveguide. The coupling element further includes an overhang on a side of the coupling element that opposes the lens array and that abuts the top surface of the photonic chip. The overhang includes a vertical stop surface that has a depth configured to horizontally align an edge of the waveguide with a focal length of the lens array and that vertically aligns focal points of the lens array with the edge of the waveguide.

    摘要: Processing for a silicon photonics wafer is provided. A silicon photonics wafer that includes an active silicon photonics layer, a thin buried oxide layer, and a silicon substrate is received. The thin buried oxide layer is located between the active silicon photonics layer and the silicon substrate. An electrical CMOS wafer that includes an active electrical layer is also received. The active silicon photonics layer of the silicon photonics wafer is flip chip bonded to the active electrical layer of the electrical CMOS wafer. The silicon substrate is removed exposing a backside surface of the thin buried oxide layer. A low-optical refractive index backing wafer is added to the exposed backside surface of the thin buried oxide layer. The low-optical refractive index backing wafer is a glass substrate or silicon substrate wafer. The silicon substrate wafer includes a thick oxide layer that is attached to the thin buried oxide layer.
