Abstract
High-quality silicon nitride (Si3N4) films with a low stress and optical loss weredeposited at low temperature (150°C) using liquid source chemical vapor deposition(LSCVD). The refractive index of the Si3N4 film was optimized by changing the compositionratio and deposition temperature. An integrated photonic structure of micro-ring resonatorbased on the as-deposited Si3N4 layer has been demonstrated to exemplify its viability as aphotonic integration platform. Bragg gratings are fabricated at both ends of the buswaveguide to improve coupling efficiency and testing flexibility. A measured waveguide lossof 2.9 dB/cm and a high Q-factor of 5.2 × 104 are achieved. The LSCVD deposited Si3N4 istherefore a highly promising photonic integration platform for various integrated photonicapplications.
