ABSTRACT |
Silicon diosixde thick film using silica optical waveguide cladding was fabricated by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) method, at a low temperature (32$0^{circ}C$) and from (SiH$_4$+$N_2$O) gas mixtures. The effects of deposition parameters on properties of SiO$_2$thick films were investigated by variation of $N_2$O/SiH$_4$flow ratio and RF power. As the $N_2$O/SiH$_4$flow ratio decreased, deposition rate increased from 2.9${mu}{textrm}{m}$/h to maximum 10.1${mu}{textrm}{m}$/h. As the RF power increased from 60 W to 120 W, deposition rate increased (5.2~6.7 ${mu}{textrm}{m}$/h) and refractive index approached at thermally grown silicon dioxide (n=1.46). |
