AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing optical waveguide device chips, the poor sidewall roughness of ridge waveguides leads to problems such as propagation loss, backscattering, degraded polarization performance, and increased phase noise.

Method used

A combination of plasma treatment with fluorine-, nitrogen-, and oxygen-containing free radicals and treatment with hydrogen- and hydroxyl-containing free radicals was used to perform multiple alternating treatments on the sidewalls of the ridge waveguide, removing protrusions and passivating the surface to reduce sidewall roughness.

Benefits of technology

It significantly improves the device's propagation loss, backscattering, polarization performance, and phase noise, while also enhancing the surface smoothness of the sidewalls and the overall pattern quality.
