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 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:
The single crystal wafer of lithium tantalate provided by the invention is characterized by the limited range of variation of the value of double refraction which should not exceed .+-.6.times.10.sup.-4 so that the value of the double refraction is given by 4.5.times.10.sup.-3 .+-.6.times.10.sup.-4. When single crystal wafers of lithium tantalate each satisfying the above requirements are used for the manufacture of SAW devices, the devices may have a very small deviation of the SAW sound velocity from the standard value and the range of variation of the SAW sound velocity within a wafer is also very small so that the SAW devices can be manufactured with greatly improved productivity and excellent quality.
