  • Abstract
    We have developed an effective fabrication process for As2S3 waveguides. A bottom anti-reflection coating provides a suitable layer to protect the As2S3 film from attack by the alkaline developer whilst CHF3 plasma enables the patterning of waveguides with vertical-profile and smooth sidewalls.
