  • Abstract
    We present evidence for nano-scale phase separation of As2S3 films prepared by ultra-fast pulsed laser deposition and its effect on line edge roughness in plasma etched waveguides. By changing the plasma chemistry from CF4-O2 to CHF3-O2, we demonstrate a two times reduction in roughness.
