摘要： A method of making a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) waveguide capable of being integrated with a surface-mounted component is presented. The method entails etching a silicon substrate to form a slanted wall, forming a nonreflective waveguide portion on the silicon substrate, and depositing a reflective layer on the slanted wall. Light travels through the nonreflective waveguide portion in substantially a first direction, and the light from the nonreflective waveguide portion strikes the reflective layer to be redirected in a second direction. The second direction may be the direction toward the surface-mounted component. A PLC waveguide device made with the above method is also presented.

摘要： Methods for improving adhesion between various materials utilized in the fabrication of integrated circuits. A first method relates to improving adhesion between a silicon nitride layer and a silicon dioxide layer. The method includes treating a surface of the silicon dioxide layer with a nitrogen plasma in a reactive ion etching process prior to depositing the silicon nitride film on the surface of the silicon dioxide layer. A second method relates to improving adhesion between a silicon nitride layer and a polyimide layer. The method includes the step of treating a surface of the silicon nitride layer with a oxygen/argon plasma in a reactive ion etching process prior to depositing the polyimide layer film on the surface of the silicon nitride layer. A third method relates to improving adhesion between a photoresist layer and a metal. The method includes the step of treating a surface of the photoresist layer with a oxygen/argon plasma in a reactive ion etching process prior to depositing the metal on the surface of the photoresist layer.
